Chapter 235: Andrew
The Queens asked Arabella how she was doing in Valeria and how she was treated.
Everything she said was of course, positive. All that she said was the truth anyway. Everyone in the palace treated her well. There were nasty rumors about her among the nobles but everyone in the palace was polite to her. Even Alwin, though he was rude in his head.
But instead of believing her, the Queens wondered if Ferdinand threatened her not to reveal anything bad about him.
The Queens had already even heard about the rumors about her having affairs and making a harem in order to get back at Ferdinand for leaving her all alone after just a month of being with her.
Arabella realized the Queens had their own spies planted in Valeria. And most were among the merchants. They enter as just merchants on the surface but they also sold information about the Empire.
’Should I also build my own spy network again? I just bought their services in the past life so I couldn’t really call them mine. But maybe I need to have my own spies this time?’
Her fellow Queens had their own. Being in such a high seat of power necessitated it. She surmised her mother had her own too.
Arabella was tempted to copy their example and plant spies all over other territories too. But she knew Ferdinand already had his people scatted all over Eliora.
Still, it would be nice if she had her own network than just learning about everything from Ferdinand’s side.
