A rather ordinary impression. An ambiance that’s good for blending in. He didn’t stand out particularly and seemed diligent. In other words, he had the perfect conditions to be a spy.
Latil remembered those who were having suspicious thoughts on their own, but she didn’t single anyone out at that moment.
“He wouldn’t have acted alone.”
What Latil wanted was not Piram, but the mastermind behind him who would be eagerly waiting with their mouth open. The mastermind who had dared to desecrate her father’s grave and dropped a strange letter.
“I hope it’s not you, Tla. If it is, then you’re really trash.”
“Your Highness, are you okay?”
Son Naught asked with worry as Latil’s expression became cold. It seemed perplexing to him as she suddenly ordered the guards to get together, started talking about spies out of nowhere, and wore a scary expression.
“Yes, I’m feeling very good.”
“Are you looking for a suspicious person?”
“It seems that way.”
“Who is it?”
Instead of answering straight away, Latil brought her finger to her lips. A hushing gesture.
“This is something we keep secret. I’ll tell you later, so be patient for now.”
“!”
Son Naught looked surprised when Latil didn’t even share the story with him. Considering the strong bond of trust between Latil and Son Naught, it was a reasonable reaction. Besides, Latil had entrusted him with several tasks.
“I thought just in case. I will tell you when it’s confirmed.”
In fact, the reason Latil didn’t tell Son Naught about the spy was because she didn’t want to tell him ‘how’ she had found out about the spy.
She could beat around the bush with other people, but with Son Naught who was always glued to her like mochi, that wouldn’t work at all.
Of course, if she spoke honestly, it could be resolved… but she didn’t like that.
Latil had no intention of revealing her abilities to others. The ability to read people’s innermost thoughts. It was an excellent ability for catching suspicious people or future rebels, but wasn’t it a skill that made the other party uncomfortable?
“I’m very upset right now. I feel like I’ve been pushed away from being your closest aide.”
With a smile, Latil patted Son Naught’s back and turned around.
“Since you hesitated between me and your brother, it’s a tie.”
[This is the time separator]The person Latil chose to assist with this matter instead of Son Naught was Tasir.
“Tasir.”
When Latil suddenly sought him out, Tasir, who had been drawing a strange pattern with his servant in the room, quickly stood up with a smile.
“Your Highness. I am very happy to see you again.”
“What is that?”
“I was designing.”
“Design?”
“A clothing design that will fall to the ground with a flump at Your Highness’ hand gesture.”
“Don’t make something like that.” Latil stared at him with a squareshaped mouth and eyes, but Tasir didn’t blink and pulled out a chair for Latil.
“Would you like to take a look? I will reflect your taste as well. Which part of the exposure do you like? If I may hint, I think the shoulder is very cool.”
Latil, looking seriously at the overly professional design, asked sincerely.
“Can’t you do this kind of thing a little secretly?”
Saying that nothing was impossible, Tasir folded the design, and his servant, whose face had been red all along, hurriedly grabbed the design and ran outside.
Unlike the shameless Tasir, it seemed very embarrassing for the servant to be caught in this plot by the Emperor.
But Tasir, who had passed on even his share of embarrassment to the servant, gave a smile and leaned slightly towards Latil.
“Would you like some tea? Or coffee? Or… me?”
“Coffee.”
“You answered right away. You’re cold.”
“Well, I like cold things. Since we’re on the topic, make it iced coffee.”
“How about iced Tasir?”
“No need. Ah, add cream as well.”
“I can also top iced Tasir with cream.”
“Just the coffee, please.”
When Latil said with a stern expression, Tasir got up with a glum face and walked over to a small table in one corner of the room.
While he was rustling through the coffee grounds and making a pleasant sound, Latil laughed silently so that Tasir wouldn’t hear.
But when Tasir brought the coffee with ice in it, the beaming smile had already disappeared from Latil’s lips.
“Thank you.”
“Change your mind at any time. After all, you can add all options, from iced Tasir to hot Tasir, cream, honey, and sugar.”
“The coffee is good.”
“So, you decided to ignore me?”
Latil chuckled and replied, “Not really.” Then she waited for Tasir to take a sip of his coffee before asking,
“Actually, I came here to ask a favor.”
“That doesn’t sound like someone asking for a favor.”
“Actually, I came here to give an order.”
“…Go on.”
“The Black Forest kids, they’re good at stealth?”
“That’s their specialty.”
“I want someone to be attached to.”
When Latil described in detail the face of the suspicious guard, Tasir understood and laughed.
“You mean Paul from the 1st Guard Squad.”
“I don’t know his name.”
