Isn’t it something that happened at the princess’s residence?

Moreover, Olivia, who was almost the victim of an assassination, could have confronted her at any time if she had made up her mind, even though Cryer didn’t leave a trace at that time.

Well, Bonita, who couldn’t know such background information, opened her mouth toward the woman who was waiting for her command.

“Bring information to change the investigator in charge of the case.”

“Yes.”

After a short answer, the woman disappeared, and Bonita also moved her steps.

Bonita, who emerged from the underground, promptly entered the deepest part of the mansion.

As she pulled out a mirror, the crimson light shimmered in her vision, and the figure of Greta appeared.

“Greta.”

“Oh, Bonita. It seems like things on this side will be delayed more than expected.”

Even with the sudden and unexpected main point, Bonita asked as if it were familiar.

“Is the completion of the altar delayed? If there are any deficiencies, I can personally take care of them.”

“No, there was a small accident, but it’s not a big deal. It will just take a little more time.”

Although a big hole was punched in the wall of the temple just before completion, it wasn’t done deliberately by someone. It was an accident where a small stone that was already loose was missing.

During that time, the woman from Tarenga disappeared without a trace. However, since Bonita had already killed the guy who was causing a fuss among the architects, complaining about the missing stone, it was one less thing to worry about.

“What about the situation at the princess’s residence?”

“Sorry.”

Without a single word of excuse, Bonita bowed her head, and shadows fell on half of Greta’s face.

Tilting her head slightly, Greta said, “We should be grateful that something happened on this side.”

Even with words mocking the failure, Bonita just bowed her head deeper in silence.

“Thank you.”

At Greta’s signal, her enthusiasm seemed to wane as she waved her hand.

“It’s done. Since my schedule to go to the empire has been postponed, make sure to plant someone in the princess’s residence until I leave.”

“Yes. But there’s one thing.”

“Yeah?”

“Is planting someone in the princess’s residence part of the purification process?”

Since Bonita also didn’t know the purpose of this task, she asked this question.

“You’re asking an unexpected question, aren’t you?”

“Shouldn’t we carefully choose the person to plant?”

“Ah, choose someone sincere and trustworthy to plant in the princess’s residence. There’s no need to stick to the princess from the beginning. Even if it takes time, build a foundation slowly so that it becomes a hidden dagger to be used at the end.”

“If it’s the end…”

“If you try to touch what you can’t have, you need to know what price you’ll pay. Oh, of course, it’s also necessary for the purification process. Anyway, the empire is the place where the most blood has to be shed.”

Greta smiled like a splendid flower, and her gaze seemed to be far away, drawing Cryer, who was not present, but her voice was sharp like a dagger.

Even with Greta’s ambiguous words, Bonita simply bowed her head in silence without giving any specific response.

What she follows is the ‘Magician,’ who serves the ancient gods from the closest distance, not Greta.
So, as long as Greta’s grand goal of summoning ancient gods and purifying the world doesn’t change, Bonita will diligently assist Greta until that goal is achieved.

Gradually, Greta’s focus, which had been dreamy as if thinking about Cryer, returned.

“Oh, and those who serve the gods will soon be born.”

It was a casual tone, as if talking about dinner for today, but the content was extraordinary.

“Is that… you mean someone marked will appear again?”

“Exactly. Well, it’ll be something like a substitute for Mr. Cryer.”

With a heavy tone, Greta added and disconnected the connection.

Left alone in the dark room, Bonita stroked the mirror and groped for the day when this dirty world would be purified.

Eagerly leaving her office, Olivia, soon found a person among the servants who wore a ribbon with an unusual color.

It wasn’t that difficult since she had already seen and received information about her movements.

But the real problem was…

After all, what was called espionage was about doing whatever needed to be done.

Broadly speaking, it was about observing the target, and more specifically, it was about recognizing where the target was going, what actions they were taking, what they were saying, their gestures, voices, and the people they were interacting with, and so on.

Among them, actions and people they interacted with were relatively easy to figure out.

Since she was a servant at the princess’s residence, unless she took a vacation or there was no special event, her work schedule would be fixed.

However, the problem was the conversations the target was having.

While she could grasp the atmosphere to some extent through gestures and expressions, she couldn’t know the specific contents.
