Who Spent the Night with the Tower Master (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 80
The reason she couldn’t fully trust Liz was because the girl had shown extraordinary loyalty toward Claire.
She was deeply attached to her duties and had an unusually strong desire to gain Claire’s approval.
Although she had sown discord between them to crack that loyalty, since the girl had spent such a long time with Claire, Riley felt it necessary to keep her close for now and assess whether she could truly be useful, rather than recklessly entrusting her with tasks right away.
‘…Will you tell me a lie, or will you tell me the truth?’
Encouraging her to interact with the people of the Eadallin estate was meant to test her usefulness.
First, had she leaked to Elisa the information that she was now working here as a maid? If she had foolishly disclosed such information, Riley intended to cast Liz out without hesitation.
Anyone with even a modicum of sense wouldn’t dream of revealing to those who weren’t merely on bad terms with Riley but outright enemies that she was now working alongside her.
That would simply prove she was thoughtless and loose-lipped—unsuitable as a spy. It would be fortunate enough if no information from here leaked out at all.
Second, would she now honestly reveal everything discussed, without even the slightest falsehood?
Riley already knew the full details of the conversation from Richel beforehand, including that its core subject was ‘Claire’s misdeeds.’
If her loyalty to her former mistress remained steadfast, Liz would likely avoid sharing any incriminating details about Claire and would instead try to shield her.
If she lied here, Riley would have to drive her away as well—she didn’t believe someone who still harbored even a shred of lingering attachment to Claire would ever act entirely according to her will.
“I heard from Elisa about how the Eadallin family has been doing lately.”
Liz carefully recounted her conversation with Elisa.
Starting with how Baron Ryan and his wife had been so busy recently that they were often away, to how Claire had made many friends during her time at the academy, and even updates about the other servants.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…

So the shadows can break legs and report when reporters are following her but not stop bullying or kidnapping? What nonsense
As a woman, I disagree. Cute or cool depends entirely on the individual person.
