Two-Faced Princess

title of princess in the outside world.
Although if the threat was minor, like this, there was really nothing to worry about.

“Put me down! Put me down, you disgusting old man!” Sid frowned slightly at her insult.
The child named Tanya frantically squirmed in Sid’s grip, kicking her feet at him, but her efforts were futile.
“You evil bastard!”

“Is that what a bandit would say?”

“Do you really think you can beat me? I have Lishan in the palm of my hand! Someday, I’ll get my revenge!” She hurled curses at him, as if she truly regarded Sid as an evil boss.

“What a foolish brat.
I’ll dispose of her, miss.
No need to wait for me, I’ll catch up with you soon.” Sid pointed towards a ditch on the side of the road.
But Apollonia’s eyes were fixated on Tanya

“Miss?”

“You said you have Lishan in the palm of your hand? Do you know the way to Mt.
Calt, then?”

“Of course! I’ve spent my entire life avoiding monsters! You guys will die before you can ever reach Mt.
Calt!” Threats fired out of Tanya’s mouth in rapid succession, but Apollonia ignored the insults.
She only focused on the importance of what the girl had said.

“Sid.”

“Yes, miss.
I’ll catch up with you in a minute.
We’d better tie her up somewhere so the bandits can find her.”

As Sid reached into his pack to rummage for the rope, Apollonia gave a quiet order.

“Get on.”

“Kyaaaaaaa! You’re an evil witch!”

“Miss, that’s simply what the child did to make a living! How could you ask me to burn a child to death! I’d at least rather do it with a sword…”

(T/N : The hangul 태워 can mean both “to burn” and “to ride/to give someone a ride.” They misunderstood her as telling him to burn Tanya.)

The two people had spent the last several minutes growling at each other, but their indignant shouts were in unison.
Even Uriel, who’d been quietly watching them from the sidelines, looked surprised.
Apollonia rubbed her forehead in frustration.

“Get on Sid’s horse.”

“Pardon?”

The two snapped their mouths shut and blinked at each other.

“Let’s take her as a guide.”

Apollonia didn’t wait for an answer, and galloped ahead.
