Episode 138 Within the past year (3)

“So, how should we catch counterfeiters?”

Duke Ethan Walter looked back and forth between me and Princess Lily.

“I promised that I would catch it, but I don’t know where to start… .”

“First, let’s check nearby places.”

“If it’s somewhere nearby, the royal castle?”

I shook my head at Princess Lily.

There was someone else who told me about counterfeit silk for the first time.

He was neither Princess Lily nor Duke Ethan Walter.

“The inspector who checked me earlier is suspicious.”

“The inspector is suspicious? “Why?”

“Duke Walter. “If you want to distribute contraband into the market, you have to either avoid inspection or pass it, right?”

“of course! “If you get caught for inspection, you’re in trouble!”

Duke Walter’s tone was as if he was asking about all sorts of useless things.

“That’s the key.”

I briefly summarized what I heard from the two people.

Duke Walter sent a gift to Princess Lily as a sign of surrender.

The contents of the gift are rare frost silkworm silk.

“But Duke. “You wouldn’t gift something that didn’t pass inspection and have any documents, not even to someone else but to the princess, right?”

“It’s nagging to say the least! “If you do something wrong, you’ll lose your head.”

Duke Walter mumbled his answer.

“I confirmed that the documents were correct and made the purchase. “I later found out that it was a counterfeit product, which was a problem.”

“That’s it! “How did the counterfeit product get through inspection?”

Only then did something resembling a gun flash in Duke Walter’s eyes.

“Either the checker is cross-eyed, or… .”

“You’re in league with counterfeiters. “Princess Lily.”

The princess turned her head and made eye contact with me.

“We need to catch the inspector who stopped me today.”

He first brought up the story of fake silk to me.

In exchange for turning a blind eye, they encouraged him to accept bribes.

He must be in league with counterfeiters, or at least have a connection.

“great. Nanny!!”

Nanny, the nanny, came striding out from behind the stairs.

“princess. “Did you call me?”

“Nanny! “Bring the inspector you arrested earlier here.”

Nanny took a leisurely look around the garden.

“princess. Are you going to torture me here? Shall we open the basement?”

“I’ll take care of it, so just bring it!”

Nanny smiled and disappeared like the wind.

His movements were very agile compared to his appearance.

“great. “I sent Nanny, so news will come soon.”

Princess Lily unbuttoned the hem of her sleeves and rolled up her sleeves.

I thought I would have arms as slender as a doll.

In fact, the princess’s arms were much stronger than I thought.

“I will do the torture, so you two decide on questions.”

“No, princess. “I will do the dirty work.”

Duke Walter then relaxed his hands.

The ring on his finger looked ugly again.

Does it fit a thick and solid precious metal ring?

There was no way it would end with just one or two scars.

“Are you already thinking about torturing me?”

“He trashed my gift.”

The duke said, twirling his wrist.

“You made me, the princess, a laughing stock.”

Princess Lily didn’t seem to have any intention of ignoring it either.

This is the only way to get rid of information and invoices first.

It was then.

My grandmother, who had disappeared like the wind, came running back.

she shouted, waving the telegram in her hand.

“princess! “He ran away!!”

“What did you say?! This doesn’t make sense. Nanny! “How on earth?!”

I was really curious about this too.

The princess’s guards directly arrested her and dragged her away.

How on earth did they escape?

Isn’t this a problem that can be solved with a few bribes?

“Ugh. princess. Well, an anonymous bail came in.”

Nanny reported while catching her breath.

“Are you just going to release me just because I got bail?”

“They said 30,000 gold came in! “They had no choice but to let me go!”

30,000 gold is about 300 million Korean Won.

Are you willing to use that money to save one inspector?

‘Who on earth is the leader of these counterfeiters?’

At that moment, someone’s name flashed through my mind.

A person who can behave uncontrollably in front of Princess Lily.

There are probably only two people like that in the Kingdom of Carmena.

“Captain Lee Man-seok. The suspect ran away. “What are you going to do now?”

“No, not yet.”

Click. Paaaa—!

The blue map core soared, popping up on the screen.

A map of the ocean viewed like a globe.

The image of the fleeing inspector appears as if it were a CCTV screen.

He had just boarded the ship under an assumed name.

‘The ship’s expected destination. calculate.’

Faaah!

A wave rippled across the blue map core.

The route emerged as a fluorescent dotted line on the blue sea.

“I found him. “Let’s start tracking right now.”

“Uh, huh? no. Hey! Captain Lee Man-seok!”

Duke Walter looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“Are you going to find someone who ran away just because you looked at the compass?”

“I can. “Now that we’ve found it, let’s leave right away.”

“Wait.”

As I was about to leave the garden, Princess Lily stopped me.

“Captain Lee Man-seok. “Before you go, could you please lend me Simon?”

“Simon the tailor?”

“yes. With his discerning eye, he will be able to distinguish counterfeit silk.”

Princess Lily explained as she gently lowered her rolled up sleeves.

“This counterfeit product is different from usual. “It’s almost impossible to distinguish between real and counterfeit products.”

“So the price of Seori silkworm silk has plummeted?”

“that’s right. Moreover, counterfeit products cause skin diseases.”

The princess showed me the inside of her arm.

A red rash covered her white arms.

Like red flower petals that fell on the snow piled up.

“The princess has also suffered damage.”

Princess Lily nodded silently.

“All right. I’ll leave Simon behind.”

For nobles who care about their appearance, skin disease is a death sentence.

If they see even the slightest blemish, they bite it without mercy.

“Hmm. Well then, Captain Lee Man-seok. Let’s set sail now.”

“Okay then, princess. “I’ll bring you good news.”

“Wait. Nanny!!”

My grandmother, who had been backing away, approached me with one step.

For a moment, I thought she had used some sort of trick.

“Yes, princess. Would you like some milk tea?”

“My sister. I’ll take care of the milk tea… .”

The princess raised her thin finger and pointed at me.

“Accompany Captain Lee Man-seok and catch those counterfeiters!”

“Oh my, princess. Are you okay without me? Should I take out the teddy bear? “You know where the children’s books are, right?”

“Nanny!! “I hope to get back soon!!”

Princess Lily’s face turned bright red and she shouted.

“Okay, princess. “I’ll be back soon!”

Nanny strode to my left.

She smiled softly, like her mother.

On the other side, Duke Walter cleared his throat uncomfortably.

“Hmm. Let’s leave quickly. “I’m going to miss it if I keep doing this.”

“That won’t happen, so don’t worry.”

I clicked the compass and launched the map hack.

The entire ocean glowed round and blue in the palm of my hand.

The checkpoint was already in the palm of my hand.

No matter where or how you run, escape is impossible.

‘ruler. Guide me. ‘Where is your headquarters?’

The arrival point of the expected route sparkles with a fluorescent dotted line.

There it was written in large letters:

* * *

Kikluk! Kikluk! Chiruruk—Chiruruk—!

Seagulls flew wildly overhead.

Noon time when the sun shines vertically.

In other words, it was lunch time.

“Patton!! Start distributing lunch!!”

Patton, who was wrestling with the mast, answered vigorously.

“yes! Captain!!”

“And since we have a favorable wind, stop touching the mast.”

“yes! Captain! All right!!”

“The rest of us go down and eat! “There is no need for observation!”

“yes!! Captain!!”

The sailors who were working in their respective positions rushed out.

Thanks to this, there were suddenly only three people left on deck.

Duke Walter looked uncomfortable the whole time, as if he was pretending.

What’s so good about Nanny, the ever-smiling nanny?

And I, the captain who uses the map hack, Man-seok Lee.

“When will our food be served?”

Breaking the awkward silence, Duke Walter opened his mouth.

“Let’s go down and eat.”

“What? “You want me to eat the sailors’ porridge?!”

Duke Walter was startled and nauseated.

It looks like you’ve tasted it at least once.

If you didn’t know at all, you wouldn’t be disgusted.

“It’s the only thing I can eat.”

“no! “Don’t you prepare a separate captain’s meal?”

“Why do you do such a troublesome and troublesome thing?”

“You really don’t even know… .”

Duke Walter sighed heavily, took out his pipe and put it in his mouth.

It looks like they are trying to fill their lunch with cigarettes instead of eating.

But the moment he lights his pipe.

Wow! Bang bang!!

My pockets were bulging, and Finny stuck his head out.

He looked around like a bird guarding its nest.

He fluttered as he saw the gray smoke rising from Duke Walter’s mouth.

Wow! Bye! Beep!!

Duke Walter piped up, looking blankly at the bluebird.

“Captain Lee Man-seok. “What is this blue bird?”

“It’s a baby bluebird.”

“what? Blue bird? That amazing bird? “My true self.”

He put the pipe back in his mouth and grinned.

“If you paint a chick blue, does it make it a blue bird?”

“A real bluebird chick would also be blue, right?”

“You don’t give up a single word.”

The Duke puffed out smoke like a chimney.

Then Phineas started crying wildly.

“What is this bird called?”

“Fire is strictly prohibited on board the ship.”

“okay?”

The Duke took a deep breath from his pipe.

Suddenly, he blew smoke at Phineas.

“Duke Walter!!”

“haha! Even if a bird cries… uh?”

Dark clouds slowly rose from beneath the peacock’s feet.

It climbed up his leg like a snake and covered his face.

“Uh, huh?? What is this? Captain Lee Man-seok!!”

Papajik pajjik—

Sparks flew from the dark cloud that covered the duke’s head like a helmet.

Duke Walter was struggling to take off the cloud.

But it is impossible to catch a shapeless cloud.

He just kept messing around… .

Bwajik—!

“Ah taga!!! iced coffee!! Oh, the car!! It’s wet!! stop!!!”

Heavy rain poured down as a signal of stinging static electricity.

Small dark clouds poured rain as the shower made a sound.

The dark clouds soon dispersed and the Duke’s future became clear.

Pop. Drunk. Pop. Pop… .

Duke Walter was drenched as if he had taken a shower while wearing his clothes.

The pipe that was emitting thick smoke was also completely flooded.

“… Captain Lee Man-seok.”

“It is retribution.”

Next to me, my wife smiled and suppressed laughter.

“… Captain Lee Man-seok. Still, one warning… .”

“I told you it was a baby bluebird, right?”

The bluebird is the ruler of storms and the bird that controls the weather.

So it is considered a good omen for sailors.

They say it beats storms and brings gentle tailwinds.

“The Duke is the one who didn’t believe it. “It’s not my fault.”

I quietly wrapped my hand around Finny.

Finny squealed in triumph in the palm of my hand.

“… Okay. Okay, so… .”

Duke Walter sighed and leaned back helplessly.

“Do you have any extra clothes to change into?”

“There are no clothes that fit the duke’s body type. Please wait until Downshoal Harbor.”

Duke Walter held a wet pipe in his mouth.

I muttered as I gazed somewhere in the distance out to sea.

“… “If I get involved with you, I’ll only lose out.”

“Isn’t it retribution?”

Next to me, Nanny smiled once more.

When I looked up, she made a hasty excuse.

“Oh, I’m sorry! I’m not good at holding back laughter… .”

“Well, no one will say anything about smiling.”

“is it so? This is a great place! Wang Seong is so strict… .”

Nanny started talking once and then started talking more and more.

The trivial rules of Carmena Royal Castle.

Troublesome and cumbersome procedures that royals have to follow.

Strict discipline and difficult training procedures. etc.

“So Princess Lily has worked really hard too!”

“Is it okay to talk behind my back in a place like this?”

“are you okay! “The princess is not the kind of person who would execute someone.”

Nanny’s answer was a masterpiece.

In other words, you were thinking about being executed too, right?

You risk your life to make a joke in front of the princess.

If it were me, it was something I couldn’t even dream of.

“And if I disappear, the princess will be in trouble too.”

“Come to think of it. Nanny, what do you do?”

Nanny puffed out her chest and answered confidently.

“I do whatever the princess asks me to do!”

Nanny continued to tell trivial stories again.

Starting with waking up the princess in the morning and doing the entire day’s work.

Furthermore, there is even a story about serving as a secret agent on an escort mission.

“You really do everything.”

“I’m kind of amazing! Oh, look over there! “It’s land!”

Nanny stretched out her long arm and pointed straight ahead.

A long golden port along the beach.

A land where wealth and wealth gather and promise to gather again.

It is the base of Count Henry Medica, who does business with me.

It was the destination of a runaway counterfeiter.

“Captain Lee Man-seok. “That’s Downshoal Harbour, isn’t it?”

“That’s right, Nanny.”

“What’s in Downshoal Harbour?”

I suddenly remembered an old incident and laughed.

Competing with Malcolm for the task of Count Medica.

The remains of the legendary Blood Mary salvaged from the bottom of the sea.

And precious conch shells used to make violet dye.

“At Downshoal Harbour… There is treasure in the sea. Patton!!”

While we were eating, Patton came running in.

“yes! Captain!! What’s going on?!”

“Arrived at Downshoal Harbour. “Get ready to anchor soon.”

“Can’t we just eat what we were eating and go?”

“Let’s go eat.”

Patton thought deeply about the words, ‘Let’s go eat.’

And after thinking about it, my mouth became full and I screamed.

“yes!!! Captain!!! hey! Jump up right now! “Let’s go eat on land!!”
