Alice In Another World's
Chapter 08: Theft

Somehow Catrine and I actually managed to do an interview session to become royal servants.

Whether because we have the ability or this kingdom that doesn't really care, we can work as soon as possible.

The butler began to divide us in different jobs, I was hired outside the palace area while Catrine was inside.

We do not work alone but per group, it is natural that even in a place this wide anyone will not feel lonely.

The king had several daughters from his wife and concubine, and it seemed that they always got along until every morning in the courtyard I could see them chatting while drinking tea together.

I sometimes hear rumors that the king will not stop marrying until he has a son, so some of the servants seem to want to change their fate into concubines.

Of course if I was, really not interested.

I sat resting with the bread in my hand as Catrine appeared and sat on the other side.

"How's it?" my many.

"I've remembered everything, we'll sneak in tonight if you want?"

We've been working 3 days because if it still hasn't moved, I'll obviously be angry. The butler who saw us casually appeared while angry.

"What are you doing here, get back to work."

I realized that our rest time was up, even if 1 minute, the people in this palace were too tight.

At night like the original plan we would sneak in, I had thought about it, if the sword was stolen instead of not strange if the two of us would be immediately suspected of disappearing suddenly.

But my uneasiness was nothing to a bandit king like Catrine, he showed me a fake letter asking us to return to the village. In short, we disguised ourselves as people who had left the village to change their fate and were forced to return because our parents were sick.

By the way we play sister brother.

Let's put the charade aside to move back in the dark.

We entered unnoticed, there were many guards as well as people stationed in this place, yet they had all fallen asleep.

When they let my guard down I had poured sleeping pills in their drinks, so everything was easy.

"It's really an incredible intrusion, we're indeed the best thief's comrades."

No thanks, I just wanted to try something like this once.

Catrine opened the map she made and I just kept following her from behind, first she shrewdly opened the secret door leading to the basement.

This place is used as a royal treasure, without any guard we can walk quietly until finally find a gate made of gold, there is a dragon headdress in front of him that makes it look cool.

I asked Catrine.

"So how do we open it?"

"The answer is simple, we'll blow it up."

I was a little surprised when I saw Catrine pull out an explosive. While I was retreating he had lighted his wick and put it into the dragon's mouth, there was no need to wait for long to see the door open.

The one who welcomed us both was a pile of treasures that were as abundant as a hill.

I circled the view to look for the whereabouts of the sword in question and found it displayed on a stone, the sword was seen made of gold with its handle affixed to various gems.

"Looks expensive."

"Not only does this expensive sword also have a lot of history against the country that has hired me."

I nodded my assent, we just took his sword and then ran outside, unfortunately dozens of guards have caught us.

We put on face coverings to allow anyone not to recognize us, the king panicked as he pointed towards the sword Catrine was carrying.

"So you targeted that sword, it's worth the bad news about me spreading throughout the kingdom, is that yours?"

No one answered him, during these three days we not only worked as servants, we were also actively looking for issues about the king from senior servants, from the kitchen to the guards as well.

After getting it we just spread it, the interesting issue that the king surprisingly gave money to anyone whose daughter he wanted to marry.

The life of the kingdom is not entirely clean either, there is always a dark side to it.

"We're leaving."

"Wait where are we going?"

Instead of us barging out, I dragged Catrine up, we were stuck on the balcony on the fifth floor.

I can see how high this place is.

"You won't be able to escape again, catch them."

"What can we do, we must fight."

I pulled the collar of Catrine who was about to charge forward and jumped down while dragging her.

"W-what? What are you doing, I'm gonna die."

Catrine hugged me so tightly that she finally realized that we had both been floating in the air.

"Alice, you can use magic."

"The long story is better we go first from here."

Arrows darted between us, but none of them got hit until we actually got away with it forever.

Catrine throws her head covering while laughing happily.

"I thought we'd get caught, I didn't expect that the guards in the city would enter the palace."

"It was a big mistake" I said briefly.

Whatever happens we at least managed to steal his sword, for now we will return to the inn then a few days later leave the city with each of our horses.

"Then I'll report all this to the person, but Alice sure doesn't want to come?"

"There's a city I want to visit, this money is enough, too."

I showed Catrine the bag of money as payment. I should have gotten the other half but I didn't intend to take it.

It was all my idea, for my involvement with the bandit king to be removed in this place as well.

We split up like last time.

If one day I ever meet him again, it's not surprising that the bandit king's moving places have spread to this continent.

I don't know until when he will continue to raise his name, which I hope that he will be fine.

"Nah Catrine, you're not supposed to be the queen of bandits."

"Then everyone will know that I'm a woman, Alice."

"See you later."

When my horse passed by the path I was struck by a woman sitting on her suitcase, she stopped me with a wave.

"My name is Carol, are you going to a widow's country?"

"No, I'll go to another country."

"so."

"Do you need a ride there?"

"True, I was on a train but they dropped me off because they didn't want to take the road ahead because of the news of the monster's appearance, I'm sitting here hoping to find someone who wants to go there too."

I'm not in too much of a hurry, so I don't mind helping him.
