'Bingo! Looks like we managed to strike gold on the first try. Now, we only need to approach this slowly so we do not scare away this kid.'
Sui was scared of the princess speaking and running the atmosphere. Thankfully, the princess did not utter a word in front of the kid to scare him.
She seemed to be waiting for Sui to initiate the conversation and drag the information out of the kid.
"Weird people? Are you talking about the 'cult' recently emerging in the empire? Did they come to recruit people from the slums as well?"
Sui asked the kid in an interested voice.
The kid looked suspicious of Sui's sudden increased interest, but he also seemed like someone who liked to talk a lot.
"I d-don't know anything about c-cult or whatever. B-But those people are s-suspicious. T-They go around telling e-everyone that our g-god is fake and to follow their god. T-They also perform m-miracles so p-people are b-believing them e-even more."
