Chapter 103: Information
Her father informed her of their intelligence guilds placed all over the Empire... Which included the Eastern Duchy. Time to make contact. She needed to have a list of all the women who were registered dead five years ago...
She shook her head. She couldn’t believe that he killed the mother of his child just to ’tie up loose ends’. What would happen if Everett found out about this? Forget it.
She couldn’t rule out the possibility that the woman was a commoner, so she didn’t restrict her search to just nobles. Who knows what reasons this woman had for going after a married man? Whatever, it wasn’t her business.
She would have gone alone but her gut told her that leaving Dimitri alone like that wasn’t good. During the celebration dinner, their uncharacteristic calmness really troubled her.
They were planning something... Something that might hurt Dimitri, she just knew it. She couldn’t help but worry, because of her selfish motives, there was a target on Dimitri... She sighed heavily.
She wouldn’t let him out of her sight. If she was going out, he was coming with her. She knocked on his door and informed him that they were going out. He simply nodded without asking too many questions.
He had only one policy, do everything Adeline asks you to do. No matter how questionable it was... How very questionable... He narrowed his eyes.
Adeline carefully adjusted her cloak as she and Dimitri moved through the bustling streets of the shopping district. The Duchess made sure to send some of her knights with them for protection.
Whatever Adeline was up to, it would be an interesting watch. She was looking forward to seeing what this capable young lady could achieve. But that didn’t mean she would allow a child to take risks!
