Why Are You So Obsessed With Rejecting Affection?

Translator and Editor: Bunny and Einna

Well, I heard about it in the orphanage. There is a place around here that finds and tells you anything you want to know.

Uhm? Are you referring to the information guild?

I nodded at his question.

Saying that I heard it from the kids was a lie. They have no idea that there is a place like this.

In fact, I learned about it because of the original novel, but Wyndert wouldnt know that.

Because the place here is close to the orphanage!

Yes. I have a really important question.

I said so and looked at Wyndert.

Brother, do you know where we are?

Of course I know, but.

He seemed to know roughly about the back alley of the Grand Duchys capital as he was the Grand Dukes successor.

Then, please guide me! I really want to ask them something.

Wynderts expression wasnt very good.

Maybe because hes worried about me, a young kid, going into the back alley.

But I still had to go.

Besides, the back alley takes up only one block! In the first place, a place where you can get information and people come and go frequently couldnt have been hidden that deep.

Why are you going there?

I had a question when I was studying! I cant ask Teacher Rima anymore.

You can ask me.

I shook my head At Wynderts words.

Im here anyway!

Wyndert looked at me with a frown on his face before nodding.

You must stick with me. This alley is dangerous.

Im only trying to enter the first store at the front of the back alley. Maybe I can remember living here?

I didnt tell him the absurd things that I was thinking instead, I said I believe in him.

But brother would keep me safe.

Thats right.

After reading my resolute expression, Wyndert nodded while frowning slightly.

Here it is.

Wyndert brought me to a very plain-looking building. It was disguised as a caf where people come and go so it looked very normal.

I gulped and stared at the door in front of me.

We came all the way here to change our future, but it was a bit scary because its the first place I needed to go.

Adults will ignore us since were two little kids. No matter what happens, I have to deal with it!

Are you scared? Its alright, I will protect you. We can go back if youre really scared.

N-no!

Wyndert smiled slightly when he saw me swallowing my saliva. I shook my head and opened the door.

I cant hear anything.

Every time I went out to play, all the cafes I saw had doorbells on their doors.

However, there was no doorbell here. Probably so you can go in and out quietly.

Instead, the people inside gazed at us for a moment before turning away again.

They wouldnt look like that normally.

However, they cant help but look if they see a child following another child inside because she wasnt mature enough to understand.

If I say that we accidentally wandered into the back alley, other people would accept that since our cloaks were clearly made from high quality fabric. Its obvious that we dont live nearby.

There must be someone in here who knows our faces.

Someone came to us after a while.

If the young master of the Grand Duchy came here and they didnt know his face, then this information guild would be a piece of trash. It means they dont get their hands on the right information.

Besides, it would be stupid to think that the two children of the Grand Duke came here without a specific purpose because they lost their way.

Shushu, sit here.

Wyndert walked to a table at the corner of the room, sat down and beckoned for me to sit on his lap.

I would like to sit on the chair, not on your thighs.

You cant see anything if you sit on the chair though.

Wynderts face was full of sincerity.

It would be alright for me to sit even if the chair was shabby and hard, but his thoughts were the exact opposite, as if it would be difficult for me to sit on such a chair.

I think its a hundred times better than an orphanage chair.

Its much better than a broken chair.

Did Wyndert forget that I was from an orphanage?

Maybe it was because it didnt matter at all to him.

There are some better seats upstairs, sir.

Its here! I jumped off Wynderts lap.

Good. Now I have to focus my mind!

The information guild first appeared in the original work when Azuela visited to find some kind of information.

Although it wasnt the one in the jurisdiction of the Grand Duke, it was located at the Imperial Capital but the transaction process cant be that different.

Apparently, the clerk inviting us to the next floor was the first meeting had been approved.

Big brother, I want to look upstairs.

Okay.

We went upstairs as directed.

The floor height seems a little weird.

If you think about it, the first floor was constructed lower and the stairs were strange. Maybe because they are trying to cover up a secret room or basement.

At this point, it was quite fun because it felt like I was on an adventure.

Big brother, can you wait for me here?

Shushu, I am your escort. I cant let you go alone.

Wyndert cut off my words with a resolute face when I asked him to stay behind.

It looks like hes thinking that I might disappear when I enter or encounter an unprecedented accident inside.

I think they wont do such a big thing like that.

Besides, I am trying to find the people who are targeting me in order to protect myself and Ive come here for a purpose.

I cant trust them completely.

Alright.

Since big brother is my knight today, it cant be helped and it is something I must endure to some extent.

I see the future of the Grand Duchy.

There was an ordinary man when we entered.

Well, I didnt think Id meet the guild master. He looks pretty normal no matter how I look at him.

I sat down as he directed and slowly opened my mouth.

I want to buy information the information about the magic tower!

Since we were revealed as the children of the Grand Duke, theres no need for me to treat him with courtesy.

The man flinched after I talked and quickly asked me questions. He seemed surprised that I, not Wyndert, came toward the front.

What kind of information are you requesting about the tower? Wizards of the tower? Legends passed down? Magic? A fairy tale with a magic tower in the background?

Besides, his answer.

What, are you ignoring me because Im a little kid?

Youre saying something to appease a child who adores the magic tower.

Big brother, I came for nothing so lets go back.

I stood up from my seat with an expressionless face.

There is nothing more to see. It seems that the information in this guild is so lacking that they wont last a year.

I turned my head neatly.

Wyndert looked a little surprised and then extended his arm to me. Wyndert seemed to feel a little better that he could take me home like this.

Please pardon my rudeness, Grand Princess! I meant to narrow down the questions for you, yes.

Arent you stupid? How can I trust you if you treat me like a child?

Im sorry.

This information guild will be nothing if what you show me isnt as much as what Ive found in the Grand Dukes.

The man judged me only as a six-year-old kid. It was because of the prejudice he held towards my outward appearance.

That kind of attitude wont work out if he knows how I became close to the Grand Duke, how I act normally, and what I did to solve the problem (about the poison).

A place like this is useless if you cant find any information that can help the Grand Duke.

It was scary that the security of our house was breached, but the places I had to deal with in the other future were the Imperial Palace and the Marquis of Bertilde.

A place where neither of them can easily reach me is none other than the Grand Duchy.

If I do not get the right information for the Grand Duke, I will not be able to properly receive the information I want to get from the tower in the future.

I am very sorry for his lack of nobleness. Let me serve you.

The door opened and an old woman appeared, bowing down to me, when I tried to walk out of the room with a displeased expression.

There was another door on the other side from where I came in. You mustve seen this entire situation, right?

I had the impression that she would be much more cooperative, a person that wasnt trying to put on airs with me.

Hmm, shes better.

As long as your face is not known, you will be able to infiltrate difficult locations and find out dangerous information.

It was a test for me, but due to the nature of the industry dealing with information, her cautious attitude was not necessarily a negative trait.

I was satisfied in my heart, so I decided to give her a chance.

Are you testing us now? You dare?

But before I could even say something, Wynderts cold question came out.

Well, its a survival strategy, but it might be unpleasant for the other party in this scenario.

Besides, Wyndert is just doing a good job as my escort.

A suspicious person showed up from nowhere, and the protective escort knight is the worst match up.

She had a blank face, as if she couldnt understand the fear-inducing aura coming from the young-looking Wyndert.

This was the first time she had ever experienced the curse of the Grand Duke.

I stepped in front of her as I watched her start trembling like a leaf.

Im sure you have no intention to do anything negative.

Y-yes, th-thats right!

Big brother, I want to go home now and have dinner quickly.

She was very intimidated by Wyndert so Im sure she will carry out my request properly.

I want to know about the tower. Ah right basic information about the magic tower and whether there are people who come and go of the Grand Duchy, things like that.

I smiled cheerfully and said my request.

One of the Empress greatest forces were the wizards.

And among them was the White Magic Tower.

Honestly, I still wanted to openly ask for information about the White Magic Tower.

But anyway, they will find out about the White Magic Tower if they search as Ive told them to.

I dont have any way to tell Wyndert how Ive come to be suspicious of the White Magic Tower, so I ordered the surveillance of the magic tower as a whole.

The White Magic Tower has a great relationship with the Empress.

Even in the original work, there was no clear description of how the Brilliant was created.

However, what was certain is that a wizard, who helped the Empress and always stood by her, was from the White Magic Tower.

Would you like to check the information we have now?

Deliver it to me as a report.

Are you going to go home right away? If you give me three or four hours, Grand Princess will receive it immediately after arriving at the mansion.

In the duration of that three to four hours, I will hang out with Wyndert outside in the meantime.

I was the only one who was relaxed, while this guild was doing their best to fulfill my request.

I liked how it was all handled quickly so I smiled satisfactorily.

Then please do well.

After completing the instructions, I went back to being a kind client, not acting as a Grand Princess, as I went out of the door.

As I went down the stairs, I talked to the guild member who came out to see me off and asked him to investigate carefully, and the other person made a determined expression.

Looking at that face, I clutched my chest.

Its an incident that must be prevented. Lets figure it out somehow!

It must be addressed for the sake of the large number of people living here and for the Grand Dukes house at the center.
