"My Lord.." Mei finally recovered from her stunned silence. "If you truly anticipated Ha-rin becoming a Consort, I dare say you've also anticipated her betrayal?" Lord Eight reached for the third scroll. "Her first move after becoming a Consort is intelligence filtering." "Intelligence filtering?" Mei arched a brow. "She's going to feed wrong information?" Lord Eight shook his head. "If she wasn't smart about it, yes. However by doing so, she risks revealing her hand too early." "However.." Lord Eight took a brief pause. "The smartest way to go about it isn't by building a network from scratch, but instead recycling an already established network." A small grimace twisted across Mei's lips. She took a small sip from her tea cup. " If our agents were as fickle as you make them out to be, our information network wouldn't have lasted up to this point." Lord Eight remained unfazed. "I do not doubt the loyalty of your agents. However, I do believe in the concept of change. For

Failing intro deep silence, Mei appeared to deeply contemplate over Lord Eight's remarks. She finally moved her lips. "In that case, I'd—" Before she could finish speaking, a voice interjected. "Don't do anything." "Pardon?" Mei gave the masked figure an incredulous look . "What do you mean?" Lord Eight finally dropped the scroll he was reading. "Why do you think I suggested sending Ha-rin to the Great Albiou?" Lord Eight smoothly continued. "The current Great Chancellor of Albiou not only stole the seat of power from his father, he eliminated all his brother as well as his allies who supported him during the coup." "Despite not being the first son of the previous Great Chancellor, he managed to rise to power. He lied, cheated and backstabbed his allies just to become the Great Chancellor of Albiou." "Lady Mei, do you know what kind of person the Great Chancellor is? " voice dripping with amusement, Lord Eight directed this sudden question at Mei. " He's a disloyal thie

"Who are you?" Once Estelle closed the door behind her, Mei was the first to break the silence.Unfazed by the sharp question thrown his way, Lord Eight directly occupied one of the empty seats at the tea table. His left hand, wrapped in thin Stellarium thread, calmly drummed against the polished wood at a calculated, steady pace."I should be the one asking that. I usually meet with Lady Do-yeon. Who might these two ladies be?"Inwardly frustrated, Mei clicked her tongue. 'Like I suspected, even his voice is masked.' 'Didn't Mother say this meeting would be crucial in figuring out the true identity of Lord Eight?' 'How are we supposed to do that when the man is ridiculously cautious?!'Despite the myriad of frantic thoughts running through her mind, Mei maintained a perfectly composed smile. "My mother was unable to make it this time. She appears to be suffering from spatial vertigo.""Spatial Vertigo huh?" Underneath his dark mask, a cold sneer formed across Lord Eight's lips. 'I

"Are you still pissed?" A faint smile touched Mei's lips as she gracefully poured Seo-yun a cup of hot tea.In response, Seo-yun huffed in deep displeasure. "Is there something going on between you and the First Young Master of House Le Roy?"Mei's brows furrowed as her eyes locked with Seo-yun's suspicious gaze. "What are you trying to imply?""I just find it odd that you gave in to that shameless man a bit too easily. That was unlike you."Although Seo-yun had spent a long time isolated from the world during her training, Mei had often visited to keep her company. Despite their frequent misunderstandings, there was no denying the close bond the two sisters shared.Mei's hand froze. She fluidly lowered the teacup whose rim had nearly touched her lips. "What did you expect me to do?""I.."Mei rolled her eyes in exasperation. "If the First Young Master hadn't done what he did, a conflict might have broken out between House Le Roy and the Merchant Group. Do your really want that?"Seo

Following Seo-yun's outburst, the scions who were present all exchanged knowing glances among themselves. Without uttering a single word, they could all correctly guess what the other person was thinking.Was there about to be a full-on clash between the Global Peace Summit and House Le Roy?!"That's enough." Mei hastily cut in before the situation could spiral out of control. She continued while stealing a glance in Tristan's direction. "Like the first young master mentioned, the rules of the duel dictates that the winner of this bout goes to the second young master."Unfortunately, Seo-yun remained unconvinced. She begrudgingly snorted. "It's obvious he intentionally injured himself so his cousin can win."Everyone present collectively inhaled sharply through their teeth. While some marveled at Seo-yun's reckless courage, there were others who scoffed at her idealistic straightforwardness. Naturally, none of them were blind. The fact that the strings of the violin had suddenly sna

Whoosh!The second arrow arrived before Phillipe. However, instead of piercing into his flesh, the projectile blitzed barely an inch past his cheek before stabbing deep into the dirt behind him.A missed attack!"Hmph." Phillipe gripped the hilt of his relic artifact with all ten fingers.Throwing his gaze toward Seo-yun's direction, he noticed his opponent had already drawn back the glowing strings of her bow in a swift, calculated effort to launch a third attack.'Although she has superior casting speed, it appears her skill in direct archery is lacking.'Having realized this perceived fatal flaw, Phillipe decided to use it to his immediate advantage. He attempted to lunge forward, only to be met with heavy, resistance a mere breath later."This.." Phillipe's gaze darted down toward his feet. His eyes immediately dilated with sheer horror.Spread out for over a dozen paces across the ground was a bizarre puddle of electrifying blue and sea green liquid that appeared to have origin
