A Top Assassin Reincarnates as a Noble - Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Cliché and Unexpected Development

After a long journey of 20 days, the carriage finally stopped amidst the noise.

“Young Master Will, we’ve reached Heikem.”

I stepped out of the carriage.

In front of us was a magnificent city gate. The wall was more than 10 meters tall, and the lion flag of the Kingdom of Freld fluttered against the wind.

There was an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going. The vendors in front of the city gate were also in an orderly manner, as if proving that the city was safe.

This was Heikem, the largest city on the northern border of the kingdom. Olgus Academy which was located here, together with the Royal Capital Magic Academy and the Glei Academy, were known the three major academies of the kingdom.

And I’m going to be living in this city for most of the next six years. “Uncle Shenier, thank you for sending me here.”

“Haha, Young Master Will, you don’t have to be so polite. After sending you here safely, I can finally be accountable to Master and Madam. I’ll go back first.”

“Bon voyage, Uncle Chenier.”

I bid farewell to Uncle Chenier and went into the city with my suitcase.

The suitcase was not big. Inside were a few sets of clothes that my mother had prepared for me. The only thing I had prepared myself was the book, Julius’ Magic Notes and 50 gold coins, adding some some weight to this case.

Although I was only nine years old, I had inherited the good genes of the family and had trained since I was young. My height was close to 150 centimeters, which was almost the height of some stunted adults.

Other than my slightly immature face, I didn’t look out of place walking on the road with my suitcase from behind.

When I walked into the city, I saw a wide road. The houses on both sides of the road were lined up. Unlike outside the city, there were no street stalls everywhere. They were all neat and orderly shops.

In terms of first impressions, I had a very good impression of the city.

I pulled out the envelope my father had handed me last night from my pocket and opened it to read.

The letter contained an address and a letter of introduction.

19 Browning Street, Riston Inn.

That’s where I’m going.

This was the first time I learned that the Reinhardt Family actually had their own business as well.

“Neigh-“

“Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The horses have gone crazy!”

The sudden neighs and the man’s shout made the people on the street panic. Everyone hurriedly dodged to the sides of the road.

A luxurious four-wheeled carriage pulled by two horses appeared in my field of vision. The coachman pulled the reins hard to control the direction of the carriage so that it would not lose control and rush into the crowd while shouting loudly to warn the people on the road.

I followed the crowd and dodged towards the two sides of the road. This place was not far from the city gate. When the carriage drove out of the city and got tired of running on the main road, it would naturally stop.

“Mommy, Mommy!”

There was a hint of joy in her childish voice.

I looked back.

At some point, a girl with pigtails had appeared in the middle of the road. She held a stick of candied hawthorn in her hand and crossed the road when everyone was dodging to the sides. She was running towards a woman on the other side of the road.

“Get out of the way! Whoa-“

“My child! My child! Go back! Go back!”

The coachman and the woman on the side of the road shouted in horror, asking the girl who wanted to cross the road to turn around and go back.

Unfortunately, the sound of the exquisite horseshoes on the limestone slab was far louder than their shouts. The child who was so focused on crossing the road and running towards her mother’s arms did not realize that danger was coming.

Sigh, what a common and cliché development.

I sighed softly and moved my wrist slightly. A flying knife slipped out of my hand.

“Neighhh!”

One of the two big horses suddenly fell to the ground. The other horse was caught off guard and tripped, letting out a sad cry.

The carriage came to an abrupt stop.

At the same time, a wail sounded.

“Ah-“

The coachman was also caught off guard and was sent flying by the carriage that suddenly stopped.

Unexpectedly,

my attempt to save the girl has harmed another.

I activated my Magic Eye and threw out the suitcase in my hand according to the trajectory of the driver’s fall. I placed it on the spot where he would fall to prevent him from hitting the ground with his head.

This is all I can do. I hope he doesn’t fall too hard.

“Oh, my daughter, are you alright? That was too dangerous.”

The woman hugged her daughter tightly as she ran across the street. She squatted on the ground and covered her face as she cried.

The coachman also got up from the ground unscathed. He looked at the suitcase on the ground and glanced around, at a loss.

This surprised me. I only had a few pieces of clothes in my luggage. They shouldn’t have such good anti-fall effects.

However, I didn’t think too much about it and walked forward to retrieve my suitcase.

“Thank you, Young Master.”

The coachman thanked me profusely.

I smiled and waved my hand. I picked up my suitcase. Right now, I just wanted to head to the inn and have a good rest.

“Hey! You’re the one who killed my horse, huh?!”

The high and mighty voice really displeased

me.

I turned back.

A fat little aristocrat with a swollen forehead stood on the carriage. He looked to be two or three years older than me. He looked down at me with a furious expression, as if he was about to explode.

“Your horse went berserk in the middle of a busy market. That was the quickest solution.”

I glanced at him.

“It’s really you! Even if my horse goes crazy, it’s not your turn to deal with it. It’s merely the life of a commoner. At most, I’ll compensate for it. Now that my horse is dead, you’re in trouble!”

“What do you want?” “What I want?! You killed my horse and you’re asking me what I want? Naturally, it’s for you to kneel down and kowtow to me in apology! Looking at your clothes, you’re probably the descendant of a small noble in the remote countryside. Do you know who my father is?”

The little fatty had an evil smile on his lips as he sized me up. He seemed to enjoy the feeling of being a bully.

I stared back at him, my expression unchanged, expecting him to say the name.

As the saying goes, like father, like son. This saying might be true if it were reversed.

If I report it to my father, he should be happy to investigate.

“Carle! Wasn’t it enough to disgrace yourself in the capital? Do you still want to disgrace your family after coming to Heikem?”

A pleasant female voice sounded from the crowd.

The little fatty’s expression instantly changed when he heard the voice.

I looked in the direction of the voice.

A young girl walked out from the crowd.

Her straight blond hair reached her waist and she wore a coffee-colored beret. She held her small bag in front of her with both hands. Her legs were straight and long. Her sky-blue eyes were glaring at the little fatty.

“Sephone, why are you here…”

The little fatty jumped down from the carriage and looked at me. “You’re lucky to have Sephone backing you today. But remember, don’t appear in front of me again! Let’s go!”

The little fatty led the coachman away quickly.

I carried my suitcase and went back to the crowd.

No matter which world it was, there would always be profligate sons who relied on their fathers. I was already prepared to meet such people in the academy.

Since it didn’t cause an accident this time, I couldn’t be bothered to pursue the matter.

“I’m sorry for scaring you. My name is Sephone, and I’m a student about to join the Olgus Academy. You are probably one too, right? May I ask your name?”.

The golden girl walked toward me.
