Yuri had to dig up information about Enoch, and Enoch had to provide her information and see how Yuri used it.

They put up two people as watchdogs for each other.

She had no time to say that she was disappointed. As it was, she could lose Abella’s trust altogether.

Enoch spoke up urgently.

“I-I am the Prince of Clemington! I wasn’t trying to hide.. I couldn’t reveal it because I missed the timing. And after I said it, I didn’t think Abella would take me here.”

“O-Of course! Why would she bring you here if you’re so trustworthy?”

“....I think she knew you were a prince, but then why did Clemington’s chancellor come in?”

“I think it’s my job to find out.”

“....Clemington is facing a war with Aiden.”

“I know.”

“In the process, Clemington intends to seek Charope’s help. So Clemington decided that we should be one with Charope.”

“By?”

“Marrying off April the princess.”

“What....?”

Yuri opened her mouth wide.

April Clemington.

The only precious offspring of the current King Clemington.

“That’s not going to work..”

Before, obviously, Abella asked about Emperor Cade, so Abella and Emperor Cade’s actions overlapped.

Abella clearly had some feelings for Emperor Cade. She didn’t know what kind of name she should give to that feeling, but the subtlety kept getting on her mind.

Abella herself seemed to be unaware of anything.

While Yuri was in confusion, Enoch was keenly aware of one fact as he spoke. Abella knew that Enoch was a direct prince.

“....Then, was it you?”

“What?”

“The person who told Abella that I was a prince.”

Yuri shrugged. That was her answer.

“Hoo. Then why are you here?”

“Because I didn’t tell Abella anything. About what we found out.”

“Aha.”

So she was really trying to figure out if Yuri was for her or was deceiving her.

That’s why they were in this situation, it was when the two were convinced.

Quaang-

“N-no, noooooo!”

The emperor, with an errand boy clinging onto his waist, opened the hotel door.

He walked in with a ghastly face, and after checking the inside of the room, his face was relaxed like a spring day.

“Aha.”

The emperor looked back and forth at the two and threw the errand boy to the floor. Then he pulled a chair over between the two and sat down.

“Anyway, it’s not a crappy combination, it’s an interesting one. Let’s hear what kind of conversation we’re going to have.” The emperor stretched his lips and smiled.

What the hell was that expression in this situation?

Yuri wriggled her fingers.

Cade was Abella’s gift to keep the two from getting away with it.

Although they didn’t know it.

All of Abella’s dice rolled in looking for their place. Abella smiled deeply as she received the report from the informant.

The information network, which Yuri created for Abella, could be used in any form she wished.

Therefore, even if one person was available privately for a while, Yuri might not know.

“There are three people in one room.”

That’s a very interesting picture.

It was just such a pity that she couldn’t watch it.

“Can I pay the hotel clerk to spy inside?”

“Yes, lady.”

Only then would she be able to tell if the stories Yuri will tell her are true.

Abella pulled out a heavy bag of gold coins from the chest of drawers and held it out.

“Go on.”

“Yes, lady.”

After going to the informant, Abella’s office was empty.

She had no idea so far, but looking back now, working alone with Enoch in this spacious office seemed a little problematic.

It wasn’t until she recognized it, but not now. Did she confirm that Enoch had some vague feelings for Abella?

Abella rehydrated her throat by sipping from the teacup.

Enoch Clemington.

She had no intention of drawing him into Abella’s mud-like life. Even more so if he was the prince of Clemington.

Enoch didn’t know how he saw Abella, but Abella knew himself well.

Abella wasn’t in a position to cut someone off sharply. This time she came back to Timur and realized it more earnestly.

If you don’t put your heart into it at all, you’ll have deep lingering regrets for those who you don’t know.

Even now, Abella had a delicate relationship with Arsene and Cade.

Besides, cutting off Lorelia was not enough to beat her.

Abella and Lorelia would coexist within this mansion. Unless someone left.
