Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview

Evening twilight settled over the city.

‘Gotcha.’

Those who coveted the silver coin held by a scrawny beggar, the idle ruffians, followed him.

Leo wandered through the alleys, fidgeting with a silver coin as if he were playing with it.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

Gangsters weren’t interested in such trivial matters and worked for the ‘family.’

Thanks to the {Rules of the Backstreets}, he knew a bit about the world of the back alleys.

Families adhered to their own strict rules, so they rarely harmed ordinary people.

The families, who ruled the underworld, took charge of illegal businesses, mostly paying tribute to nobles and borrowing their names.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

They were troublemakers who threatened ordinary people for money and were destined to get beaten by the city’s guards.

On the other hand, ruffians were the slackers who couldn’t get into the family.

Of course, kidnapped slaves were an exception. antenna They weren’t ordinary people; they were goods.

Leo, pretending to be clueless, found a dead-end alley. anxiety As he turned back, feigning to be lost, three ruffians blocked his way, grinning slyly.

He had no weapons.

“Just go in. album Be nice and quiet.”

“The beggar boy looks quite decent, huh? acoustic Must be getting a lot of alms.”

He went all the way to the end of the dead end without resisting.

He elbowed the armpit next to the nipple of the guy who approached carelessly, exposing his vital points.

“You look like you have some money… Ack! All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com ”

But Leo had trained to death in the engagement scenario and had rolled through a few months of brutal battlefields. timber Three ruffians didn’t even require {Swordsmanship}.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

He kicked the face of the guy behind, who hadn’t grasped the situation, then ran and blocked the entrance of the alley to prevent escape.

“What the… Bleh!”

Leo’s body was so frail that his wrist might break if he punched. matrix He had to be careful.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

A dagger wasn’t meant for stabbing in a confrontation.

He didn’t know how to use a dagger.

The last one hastily drew a small dagger and thrust it.

“You damn beggar!”

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

But this guy was obsessed with stabbing.

A dagger was a weapon that shone when used to slash an opponent’s arm in a confrontation or to hack at each other when close.

With a reach shorter than a span, it was foolish to use it for stabbing.

Leo pushed away the thrusting arm with his forearm, dug into his chest, and smacked the guy’s chin with his palm.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

While his head was reeling, Leo grabbed the hand holding the dagger and struck down hard on the wrist with a knife-hand ─ clang, the dagger fell.

Leo picked up the dagger.

When Leo shoved the guy who lost the dagger hard, he crashed into the one still staggering from being hit in the vital point, and they fell over with a thud.

“Thanks. august I needed a weapon.”

[ Achievement: Cleaning the Back Alleys – Stronger in Dark Alleys. ]

The guy who got kicked stood up, on guard, but they were as good as dead now.

Leo leisurely walked out of the alley.

He headed towards the market.

He earned two daggers and about a dozen silver coins, a tidy profit for a bit of work.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

To survive in the world of back alleys, he had to join a family.

The only skill he could use right now was {Swordsmanship}. abstract He couldn’t leave the city because of Lena, so the only job that involved using a sword and made money was being a gangster.

He didn’t plan to keep earning money by beating up ruffians. album It would get old soon.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

Leo found a carriage rental shop. sphere It was a place where you could rent a two-seater carriage in the city.

He had considered joining Orville’s city guard, but they were soldiers who could be dispatched anywhere, and it didn’t pay well.

“This isn’t a place for beggars. galaxy Go away.”

As it was almost closing time, a young man who was tidying up the rental shop window waved his hand dismissively when he saw a beggar approaching.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

“W-what are you doing? orbit Who sent you?”

But the beggar suddenly drew a dagger and pointed it at him. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

He asked in panic, but the beggar didn’t put the dagger away. atlas The young man looked back and forth between the extended dagger and the beggar before stepping on a cord under his chair.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

When Lena was kidnapped in the past childhood friend scenario, it wasn’t by chance that Leo was dragged to the stables.

Soon, a burly man burst through the rental shop door.

It could be said that almost every carriage rental shop in the city was run by the families.

To smuggle illegal goods in and out of the castle, the families owned carriage rental shops.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

The gangster glared threateningly, but the beggar, or rather, Leo, drew another dagger and held it up along with his blood-stained clothes.

“Is this some new begging tactic? voyage If you don’t put that knife away, it’s going to hurt.”

“I don’t know. crystal He just came and pointed a weapon at me out of the blue.”

“What’s with this beggar?”

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

“I’ll come back tomorrow. antique Check it out then.”

“…What nonsense are you spouting? arctic Get lost with your gibberish.”

There were various ways for the families to recruit people.

“I caught three ruffians in an alley near the west of the market. alert This should be enough as an initiation, right?”

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

Leo’s method was the most extreme and unusual.

Proving his strength and bloody hands. alpha It was the quickest way to get into a family.

They would hire someone introduced after quitting mercenary work, pick out a useful ruffian, or lure a reliable and somewhat strong ordinary person.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

Since he wasn’t directly brought in by the family, it would take quite a while to earn trust and he would be treated as an outsider.

Of course, there was a downside.

Leo had no other choice.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

Short and frail, he had to take the initiative to get noticed by the family.

‘I was planning to buy some clothes… I guess they’re all closed now.’

Darkness had already fallen. acoustic It took too long to bait the ruffians and find the carriage rental shop.

Leo turned away, leaving the young man and the gangster behind.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

Perhaps because he had shown a lot of money when they first met, or maybe it was her unique personality, Cassia had left the money box on the table and disappeared.

Cassia wasn’t there.

He had no choice but to return to the shoe store.

Leo took off his shirt before Lena saw him.

“Lena, are you inside?”

His sister threw open the door and welcomed him.

“Brother! academy Why are you so late!”

“It took some time to find a job.”

“But why are you undressing?”

“That must have been tough…”

“I got hot from walking.”

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

When Leo spoke, Lena would just listen quietly. portal Occasionally, she would agree with a nod, but she rarely talked about herself. academy Even when persistently asked what she did today, she would simply say,

The two sat down and chatted.

“No, not at all. arrow It wasn’t tough at all.”

In this scenario, Lena was rather quiet.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

For Lena, it was a warm bed she had longed for in a long time.

“I just stayed in the room.”

The siblings fell asleep side by side on the narrow bed.

Maybe she really didn’t do anything. altitude Tomorrow, I must buy her some clothes and something to play with. avalanche I need to find a teacher too…

“Good morning.”

“Good morning.”

Cassia had bought a new water container and was placing it inside. atom The water cart outside creaked as it disappeared from view.

“You’re up early.”

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

“Sure.”

“Sorry, but I’m going to wash up now. amateur You can watch if you want, but could you step outside?”

Though morning was slowly breaking, it was still quite dim outside.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

She seemed to like cleanliness, taking a long time to wash.

Lena was still in dreamland.

From outside, the sound of Cassia washing could be heard.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

“Okay.”

“I’m going out now.”

Feeling guilty about waking his soundly sleeping sister, Leo gently patted her head and stepped outside.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

“…Thank you.”

“If Lena wakes up, can you tell her I went out to work?”

Leo set out to find a teacher first. zenith In Orville, there were many teachers because of the large population, most of whom ran private academies and accepted students.

“Sure.”

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

However, the teachers inside the castle taught the children of nobles or wealthy families, so the tuition fees were not cheap.

‘I guess a teacher outside the castle would be less expensive? This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. ’

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

The thought of ending up beaten to death by the landlord gave him chills. acid Staying with Cassia was indeed a good choice.

If he hadn’t left early in the morning in the last scenario, he would have been beaten by the landlord.

‘A place to stay for just one day, huh.’

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

He doubted a beggar could freely pass through the castle gate, and he couldn’t go looking for a teacher dressed as a beggar.

Leo hid the dagger behind a trash bin and bought a set of clothes from a shop near the southern gate.

Eventually, Leo came out to the market near the southern gate and started asking around.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

“If you go over there…”

He met several teachers, but most he dismissed at a glance.

“A teacher? echo Not sure, I don’t have kids, so I wouldn’t know.”

“Excuse me. echo Do you know any teachers around here?”

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

He barely managed to persuade the old man, who was reluctant to travel far for private lessons. zenith Bringing a few books, the teacher arrived at the shoe shop and nodded in understanding.

He finally found a teacher who seemed to be in his sixties.

All the teachers were men. abandon Leo was looking for an elderly teacher with good character who wouldn’t take advantage of Lena’s looks. armor Their teaching skills only needed to be decent.

‘That person is too young.’

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

He also eased Leo’s concerns.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

Cassia, who seemed uninterested in everything, also found the teacher intriguing and stayed nearby.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

“I’m going out again.”

She seemed quite impressed that he brought a teacher.

“You’re a good brother.”

“Boss, I brought the guy from yesterday.”

“Come in.”

His bald head looked like bulging muscles, and despite his appearance, he seemed to have some brains, as the desk was piled with documents.

“………”

“I heard about you, but you really are small.”

He twitched his face as he looked at Leo.

“Well, nice to meet you. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. abstract If you killed three ruffians with that body, you must be pretty skilled.”

“We’ll see about that.”

“It’s a modest skill.”

“Oh my. athlete Were you a noble’s child?”

“I’m better with a two-handed sword.”

“Is the dagger your main weapon?”

“Follow me. legend We need to test your skills first.”

“………”

He grabbed a lantern and led Leo to the stable. atomic As the lantern’s light passed, the horses snorted and turned their heads, and the loafing gangsters on the straw mats sprang up.

“Sorry!”

“I knew you’d be here.”

“Enough. attic I’m not here to scold you. aspect A new recruit is here. alert Let’s see… Daol, you spar with him. academy Someone bring two wooden swords. acid One should be a two-hander.”

The gangsters bowed their heads at a ninety-degree angle.

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

The gangster named Daol grabbed a one-handed sword and his own shield.

The surroundings were quite bright with lanterns hanging from pillars, and the ground was slightly damp, making the straw underfoot soggy.

Soon, Leo was holding a two-handed wooden sword.

“Yes!”

Translation of Raising the Princess to Overcome Death - Chapter 20: Beggar Siblings — Interview by Indra Translations.

“Go hard. legend Start.”

The burly gangster, Daol, looked down at Leo menacingly.

If Leo lost, he wouldn’t leave unscathed.
