Chapter 89: You Have Two Missions
Jinx sat on the plush couch, her arms folded and legs crossed, her intense gaze fixed on Sunny and Josephine who sat opposite her. The air in the room was thick with tension.
"Why are you staring at us with that look?!" Sunny asked, a frown marring his features.
Jinx shifted her gaze between Josephine and Sunny. "You brought me with you for a reason, right?" she asked, her tone serious and direct.
Sunny glanced at Josephine, then back at Jinx. ’I didn’t bring her for any specific reason, just a hunch that she might be useful. And lucky me, she was right on time.’ he thought, before speaking aloud, "I indeed had a reason for bringing you along."
"And what is that?" Jinx pressed.
"What you are about to do is dangerous—"
"Please get to the point," Jinx cut him off, her patience wearing thin.
Sunny chuckled at her straightforwardness. "You have two missions. First, you must infiltrate Matilda’s and Victoria’s mansions. Then, you need to gather any piece of information you can find and report back to me. It would be a bonus if you could visit the other royal families, like the Three-Eyed Nation."
"So, I’m a spy?" Jinx asked, a smirk playing on her lips.
"You can put it that way," Sunny said, leaning back in his seat, a relaxed look on his face.
Jinx fell silent, her eyes locked on some distant point. After a few seconds, she looked up at Sunny. "I need something in return."
"Something in return? Your king is giving you a command, and you’re asking for something in return?" Josephine interjected, her voice sharp with a frown.
