Lulunaka's face showed a surprised expression — as for whether it was sincere or just an act, it was unknown.
"Someone is actually interested in my shop that doesn't seem to have any special features. That person is really strange."
"It's just that the shop doesn't have any special features." Pasta interrupted, "As for the goods for sale, it's hard to say."
Balik agreed with Pasta's words.
Lulunaka shrugged and spread out her hands, "It doesn't matter if the goods are special. It's really too difficult to attract ordinary customers in such a remote location and without any eye-catching signboards and shops."
"Because madam prefers quiet places." Balik continued, "I know that.
Moreover, I'm afraid those crowded places are not very suitable for you to open a shop, madam. "
Balik actually wanted to say that the things Lulunaka sold in the shop were really not suitable to be placed in crowded places.
Although there were more business opportunities and income in bustling areas, there were also various kinds of troubles — the first trouble was that Lulunaka's dangerous things were really not suitable to be placed in the eyes of ordinary people.
"Is this considered comforting me?" Lulunaka smiled at Balik, "Then I'll accept it.
Then, about the matter about me being invited … "She got down from the counter and walked to the side of the exhibition stand. She picked up the wooden statue that she had carved a while ago and played with it," It sounds like a great noble lady inviting me. Why? "
"Actually, this is also the question I want to ask."
Balik said, "I'm very curious, madam, when did you attract the attention of someone who shouldn't be here, and she even specially looked for me for this."
It was a banquet some time ago. Balik participated in it again, communicating and socializing with those nobles who couldn't bring him any benefits but always surrounded him and wanted to gain benefits.
If he wanted to do business in the King's Castle and be a successful businessman, then Balik wouldn't show any disgust towards any noble, no matter if it was a small noble or a member of a big family.
Of course, no one would know what he was thinking … except for his secretary Maurice. And this male elf hated nobles from the bottom of his heart. Sometimes he even considered if he could bring this good-looking guy to the banquet to share some of his attention.
At this banquet, Balik just got rid of a group of nobles who wanted to use whimsical ideas to get a sum of money from Balik and found a corner to stay.
After that, what Balik said to Lulunaka happened … Balik briefly told Lulunaka what happened that night. Of course, it was only limited to things related to Lulunaka.
After listening to Balik's words, Lulunaka touched her cheek, "So I'm that famous, even the high class banquets are spreading my name and rumors.
This is really incredible, the King's Castle is a place with less privacy than I thought. "
"Madam, you really don't know such a girl?"
Balik asked, "A noble girl with a prominent background … After you came to the King's Castle, you really don't know such a person?"
"I don't even know who she is."
Lulunaka spread out her hands with an innocent look, "Maybe after meeting her, I can remember something."
"Madam, your words …" Balik wanted to say something but stopped, he was a little worried.
"There's nothing to worry about, Mr. Balik."
Lulunaka smiled at him, "I'm just going to meet someone, maybe this person's identity is a little different … But this doesn't mean that I'll mess around."
Balik was worried about this, but Lulunaka already said it first, he really couldn't say anything.
"Then when is this invitation?" Lulunaka continued to ask, "Is it now, or at some other time?"
"As long as it's convenient for you, it's fine at any time." Balik said, "I'm always at your service as a middleman."
"Thank you, Mr. Balik.
In the following days, sometimes I won't be in the shop, I hope I won't miss this invitation. "
Then, Balik stayed in the shop for a while, chatting with Lulunaka for a while, and then left.
After Balik left, Pasta, who had been silent all this time, said to Lulunaka, "This is indeed a little surprising, an invitation from a noble?"
"Unfortunately, it's a noble lady, not a noble young master."
Lulunaka said in a regretful tone, "If it's a noble young master, then what a beautiful encounter it would be, two people with different identities rubbing off the sparks of love …" Lulunaka had an intoxicated expression, and began to spin in circles, like a young girl who was in love, but also like a girl who was silly from reading unreal vulgar novels and only knew how to daydream.
Pasta could be said to be indifferent to Lulunaka's performance.
"What's your plan?" He asked Lulunaka.
"Plan?
I don't have such a thing. "Lulunaka, who was spinning in circles, stopped and faced Pasta.
"I hope you don't have any plans to enter the noble circle through someone, and then do some bad things." Pasta said, "Of course, even if you have such a plan, I can't stop you."
"Uncle, do I look like such a bad person?" Lulunaka asked, with an aggrieved expression on her face, like a child who was scolded by an adult.
"Maybe not." Pasta said, "But I'm very sure that you've never planned to do anything good."
Lulunaka sighed, and the fake expression on her face disappeared, turning into helplessness. "In the eyes of strangers, I'm a good girl with a smiling face, a good girl, but everyone who knows me, why do they think I'm a bad person who stops at nothing?"
Pasta thought, it's probably because you've done too many bad things.
Lulunaka stretched out her finger and flicked a few times at the wooden statue on the side. "Even if it's me, I've done good things before … Maybe I have?" Her tone became uncertain.
"You can't even convince yourself?" Pasta said.
"It's too easy to lie to myself."
Lulunaka said, "Excellent actors, liars, nobles, mages … They're all first-class liars who deceive themselves before deceiving others.
In this world, only when children lie, it's easy to be seen through at a glance. They can't deceive themselves, and they can't deceive others.
As for me, I can't deceive myself, but it's still very easy to deceive others.
Alright, it's getting late, I'll go out for a while. "
Lulunaka walked out of the shop, and when she reached the door, she turned her head and said to Pasta, "If anyone comes looking for me, tell them that I'm underground."
"Is this some kind of joke?"
"No, this is the truth." Lulunaka smiled. "If you don't believe me, then I can't do anything.
Because I'm really underground. "
