Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

Chapter 59: Looking for a Bracelet for my Little Sibling

While Fredrinn was asking for Kristine's opinion about this matter, Gunnar commanded his subordinates to bring the captives to the cages prepared for them.

Fredrinn happened to see them pass by, but he only gave them a cursory glance before he headed back to the estate.

Kristine had never seen him so happy before so she became curious about the situation. However, Fredrinn didn't mention anything about it.

Her only clue was that someone was expecting a child and they should be someone close to him based on his reaction.

'There's no use thinking about this matter. I'll know about it when the time comes…' She thought as she retracted her gaze. She then followed the rest of her squad members to help them deal with the captives.

Meanwhile, Fredrinn had already returned to his study. He headed straight to the secret chamber and told the two ladies to return to their rooms and change into something more casual.

After informing them, he went to his room to change. He didn't wear something flashy this time. He only wore a set of casual clothes and tied his hair into a ponytail.

'I wish it would be a girl, but having a little brother is good too. Hehe.' Fredrinn laughed at his own thoughts.

Back in his homeworld, he was also an only child and it was one of his wishes to have a little sibling. He never expected his old wish to be granted in this manner.

Almost an hour later, Fredrinn stepped out of his room. Alice and Olivia were already outside his door, waiting for him.

"My lord." They greeted as soon as he got out.

Fredrinn nodded. "Let's go. We'll be heading to the nearest market to buy some bracelets for babies." His words stunned both ladies.

"I know what you're curious about, but I can't say anything for now. And it's not my child or something like that…" He made it clear to them to prevent misunderstandings.

Hearing this, Alice and Olivia nodded.

Soon, they boarded one of the family carriages. "My lord, where are we headed to?" Asked the carriage driver.

"Bring us to the nearest market," Fredrinn responded.

"Alright." The carriage driver urged the horses to go.

Inside the carriage, Olivia stared at Fredrinn and asked with a worried gaze. "Will we be fine on our own, my lord? Shouldn't we bring at least a few guards with us?"

Alice was also concerned about this.

Fredrinn shook his head. "Bringing more guards would only arouse more suspicions. Besides, I don't want to cause unnecessary commotion in the market. Furthermore, the commoners are very sensitive towards martial practitioners."

The girls couldn't only agree with him helplessly, but as convincing as his reasoning was, they were still worried about his safety.

'When we were surrounded by those black-cloaked men during our last trip in the Silversword Treasure House, Lord Fredrinn managed to subdue many Qi Gathering martial practitioners. We should be fine as long as we don't encounter those extremely powerful cultivators.' Olivia thought to herself.

Fredrinn noticed their tensed faces so he tried to change the mood by asking them about their training.

The two started talking nonstop and they looked visibly excited when they told him about the results of their training.

Two hours later…

"My lord, my ladies, we are almost there. I'm just looking for a place to park the carriage." The carriage driver said.

Hearing this, Fredrinn opened the carriage window and saw the busy marketplace.

A portion of the road was broken so the driver had to maneuver the carriage slowly to prevent accidents.

Soon, they finally stopped. Coincidentally, there was a jewelry store across the street so Fredrinn brought the two ladies inside to take a look.

As soon as they entered, a young lady came to greet them. "Welcome to our jewelry shop, guests!"

Fredrinn waved at the young lady and asked. "Do you have any bracelets for newborns here?"

The young lady didn't look surprised by his inquiry. She nodded her head and replied with a smile. "Yes, my lord. We do have bracelets for newborns in our shop. Would you like to take a look at them?"

"Mn." Fredrinn nodded.

"Alright. Please follow me." The young saleswoman brought them to the children's section of the shop where all the children's jewelry was displayed.

Along the way, they encountered some people who were aware of  Fredrinn's identity. Most of them fled the shop when they saw his face, while some brave ones stayed to wait for a good show.

"Hey, look! Isn't that Lord Fredrinn?"

"Hold on… Holy shit! It's really him! Why is he here?"

"Don't tell me he wants to show off in front of the new saleswoman?"

"What an unlucky girl to be targeted by the most infamous lord of Red Sun City."

Alice and Olivia now had sensitive hearing after their recent breakthroughs so the murmuring of the crowd reached their ears. They couldn't help but look at Fredrinn to see his reaction.

His face looked calm and he didn't seem bothered by the crowd's reaction.

"Please don't take their words to heart, my lord. They don't know everything about you." Alice said.

Fredrinn smiled and shook his head. "I know."

At this moment, the young saleswoman already knew about this identity. Her face looked incredibly pale and it looked like she was about to cry. 'Why does it have to be me? Why?!' She screamed in her heart.

She wanted to run away, but knowing  Fredrinn's abilities, she knew that she had nowhere to run. She was only an ordinary woman. Escaping from a martial practitioner was impossible.

"W-We are here now, my l-lord. T-These are our collection of bracelets for newborn children." She tried to remain calm, but she couldn't hide the anxious look on her face.

Seeing her like this, Fredrinn sighed and shook his head. "Let's find another shop." He muttered before he turned around and left.

Alice and Olivia immediately followed him.

The saleswoman watched them leave with a hint of relief.
