That noble girl then left the crowd with her private carriage with her bodyguards and Fem followed behind on foot.
Princess who saw them leave then immediately moved his gaze toward Inn Girl before.
"Who do you think that young miss meant earlier?" Ask Princess to Inn Girl.
“I-I think what young lady meant previously was one of your friends who participated in the commotion at the inn last night-”
"Huh? Who? Fem was taken by them, who else?” Cut Princess.
“Maybe not who made the big commotion,” elaborated Inn Girl. “If I'm not mistaken. I saw him talked with Mr. Casey and other guests last night before the commotion occurs.” Continued her.
“Hmm…” Princess tried to dig up the memories regarding that, then he remembered when he and Beastkin came down from the second floor last night because they heard the noise on the first floor. He found Unknown and Casey there, chatting with the other guests exactly as this girl had previously described.
“So him? ‘Unknown’? ” Princess tried to guess.
"Huh? Is that his nickname, sir?“ (Inn Girl)
“Yeah.” (Princess)
"Perhaps that one friend of yours was what the young lady meant earlier." Inn Girl gave an opinion.
“…” Princess nodded slightly and rubbed his chin.
“…” (Inn Girl)
“…” (Princess)
“Uhmm… may I know what his r-real name is, sir?” Muttered Inn Girl in a fairly lowered voice.
"Pardon?" Ask Princess, quite puzzled to the question that was suddenly asked by her.
"Eh? … Ack! No! It's nothing, sir! Um … Umm …” The inn girl looked panicked and her eyes couldn't concentrate on one place.
"Oh, yeah. Thanks before. You can go now." (Princess)
"Y-yes. Then I excuse myself. Feel free to ask me if you still have questions in mind. I'm in the kitchen. I will answer as best I can.” The inn girl then excuses herself and turned her body, intended to go back into the inn.
"Yeah. Oh, hey." (Princess)
… But Princess stopped her.
The inn girl then turned her head.
"Yes?" (Inn Girl)
“Can you get me a drink?” (Princess)
“Ale, plain water or…” Inn Girl asked.
“Ale, the medium one, and plain water.” Answered Princess.
"Yes, sir." (Inn Girl)
“… And get me some light meal.” (Princess)
"Alright. Is there anything else, sir?” (Inn Girl)
"Nope. That's all." (Princess)
"Yes, sir. Your food will come in a moment.” (Inn Girl)
The girl replied then she resumed her halted journey to the inn earlier to deliver the order.
Princess who saw her enter the inn excitedly conveying his order, couldn't help but sigh.
Unknown had already gotten the attention of several young maidens.
Princess shook his head knowing this.
He then entered the inn and sat on one of the seats in the far corner of the room, then he racked his brain.
He was trying to solve the “Made in Fem’s problem”, whether he could handle this alone or not.
Fortunately, Princess managed to get back to Ami's Inn, just before Fem was actually taken by them to a place that Princess would have trouble knowing if he was late here.
Princess doesn't care if Fem gets thrown into a dungeon or anything else. The point is, he didn't care if he would succeed or not in getting the noble girl to give up her intention of releasing Fem right then and there.
The important thing is that he knows where and who will deal with them first so he and his friends know where they can redeem Fem later in the future.
That noble girl wants to meet him …
Why she is looking for him?
What has he done without us knowing?
Unknown has interacted with two girls. One with that inn girl before and second with that noble girl.
Although it is still unclear whether there is anything romantic or not between them, Princess feels left behind in the race to find a wife among the five of them.
Even he felt left behind with Fem who had made physical contact with two opposite sex. One with the Ami's Inn proprietress and one with that noble girl earlier.
Physical contact?
Physical contact in the form of a slap of course.
Fem was hit last night by that Ami's Innkeeper.
And Princess was convinced that this time, Fem was also getting whack by that noble girl too.
He didn't pay much attention to Fem's cheeks at the time, even so, he was certain that Fem also got that sweet gift from the noble girl because of his behavior.

The people on the first floor who wanted to grab lunch and who was busy eating, gave mixed looks at the man sitting pensively in the corner of the room.
On the woman side, which is dominated by female adventurers, several of them give that man a curious look and wonder why the man is in such a situation.
They kept stealing glances at him and trying to figure out why did he end up in such a state?
They think about whether the man has been dumped by his lover and whether they can fill that emptiness in his heart.
But anyway, judging from the clothes and weapons he carried. That man seemed quite loaded.
His appearance is also decent, above the average of their standards.
Not bad right if one of us can get him? The woman's side thought.
But for the gentlemen's side, they don't think nonsense as women think.
According to their vast knowledge and experience, that man is thinking about something big. Something very personal, something that must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will disrupt his way of thinking and will drastically change the way he views society and that will change the course of his life as well.
Yeah.
He would be at a loss if that matter was not taken seriously.
He must be very horngry
…
And that's roughly the conclusion from the gentlemen's side towards that man.
They nodded at the finding they have accomplish.
Men are simple. If their experience mostly says so, they will conclude so too.
The male guests and adventurers couldn't help but smile at his condition. They've seen this scene time and time again from the different kinds of people they've met in their lives, be it friends, family, or relatives. They give the same hint.
They just hoped he could endure it and not attack people like an animal in heat.
And of course, Princess is oblivious of what the guest thinking of him just because he daydreams in broad daylight.
…
……
………
“Umm… Excuse me, sir.” (…)
Not long after that, there’s someone approaching him.
"Huh?" Princess then woke up from his world and he found a girl he was familiar with beside him, calling out to him.
What’s her name again? Tilney?
She the inn girl before, right?
"Yeah. What is it?" Princess asked.
“I apologize to disturb your meal, sir. But o-our employer, the innkeeper of Ami's Inn, Miss Rumi wants to see you.” (Tilney)
"Huh? Why? May I know what is Miss Rumi's need for calling me?" (Princess)
“U-unfortunately I have no clue. This girl was only ordered to summon you.” (Tilney)
“ *Sigh… Ok. Thanks. Does she want to talk to me now? Can you lead the way?” (Princess)
"Yessir. This way, sir." (Tilney)
"Uhh, what about this food?" Princess asked, then that inn girl saw the rest of the food that was still a lot left on the table. Such a waste if this food is thrown away just like that.
"Don't worry, sir. I will bring it to your room later." (Tilney)
"Thanks." (Princess)
“No, problem.” (Tilney)
