The Tyrant's Terminally-Ill Childhood Friend (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 100

Lowell’s question caused Noah’s brow to furrow.

“…I cannot speak carelessly about someone else’s affairs.”

“Then I’ll skip the thanks.”

Just as I expected. Lowell turned her body slightly. Given Miheu’s current state, it seemed unlikely she’d receive her medicine today. Was this a good thing or not? As Lowell pondered this, she glanced toward the shadowed bookshelves of the library. Ruben was probably hiding somewhere among them.

‘And he’s likely listening to this conversation as well.’

With two people whose true intentions she had to conceal from, her actions were far from free. Should she just leave for today? Just as Lowell was thinking this, a voice came from behind her.

“What is your relationship with Miss Miheu?”

“I already told you—I’ve received a great deal of help from her.”

“Could you tell me what kind of help?”

“It’s difficult. It’s a personal matter. Don’t you think it’s rather rude to ask private questions right upon meeting someone?”

Noah gave a slight nod at Lowell’s words. The woman before him was certainly suspicious, but he needed to carefully decide whether to probe further.

‘If she’s had contact with Miss Miheu, it doesn’t make sense that I’m seeing this woman for the first time.’

She had clearly claimed to be a palace maid who’d recently entered the imperial palace. Therefore, her receiving help from Miheu must have happened recently as well. Yet if he himself had been constantly caring for Miheu and had never seen this woman before, there was only one possible conclusion.

She wasn’t a palace maid at all.

What puzzled him, however, was that the place where he encountered this woman—who had gone so far as to disguise herself as a palace maid—was the imperial library, which seemed utterly unrelated to any important information.
