Chapter: 1022

Gretel agreed, but was taken aback when she saw Fritz walking out alone after a while.

“Are you going alone?”

Fritz, who was standing next to the horse, looked back at Gretel and said answered, “I’m just going under the mountain range, so I don’t need an escort or a servant.”

“But…….”

It’s weird to take many people just to go to the market, but wouldn’t it be weirder to go alone?

As Gretel hesitated, Fritz gave her a friendly smile and extended his hand to her politely.

“Miss Gretel.”

Under the reddish sky, his friendly-looking light green eyes could be seen clearly.

Standing against the backdrop of the night mountains, Fritz looked absolutely handsome and wonderful with his platinum blonde hair that glowed golden under the setting sun.

Gretel hesitated for a moment before finally taking his hand.

The night market stretches around the marina by the lake.

Ferryboats loaded with goods were endlessly coming and going near the marina.

There was a bright light and a loud noise.

As soon as Gretel arrived at the market, she went into the store she had known about.

It was a stall with goods from a faraway region across the lake.

The owner, who was sitting at the stall, recognized her and was delighted.

She said, “You’ve been here before.”

“Did you get the item I asked for?”

“Yes, here it is.”

What he took out was a wooden box big enough for a few books.

After checking the content of the box, Gretel held it in her arms and handed over the money.

Fritz behind her seemed curious about what she was holding.

“Would you like to see it?”

“Is this something you can show me?”
