Sister of the Ranking 1st (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 111

“There’s no reason not to believe it, is there?”

“But it’s all just speculation, and there’s no real evidence to speak of?”

“I trust Lady Shin Ah—she’s not the type to lie about something like this. Moreover, it aligns with some peculiar movements I’ve observed myself, so that speculation is likely correct.”
