Chapter: 723

It wasn’t unfounded.

The emperor might want to keep Astelle and the prince by his side, but also eliminate the Duke that is a threat.

The Duke ordered his henchmen after much deliberation.

“Find out more about this. In particular, closely monitor the Emperor’s movements.”

Florin walked cautiously on her toes.

With the lights off, the room is terribly quiet.

In the break room on the second floor of the castle, there is a small hole in the wall.

To be exact, it is a small hole made by hollowing out the wall.

A large tapestry is hung on the outside, so it is invisible at first glance.

This old castle, which the family moved to, is an old citadel inherited from the ancestors, so this unique structure remains.

Florin, who was about to go inside with the tip of the tapestry lifted a little, paused for a moment.

Inside the room is a woman with honey blonde hair cut to shoulder length.

That’s her older sister, Marianne.

“Shh.”

Marianne hurriedly brought her index finger to her lips.

That means don’t make a sound.

Florin was dumbfounded and asked, moving her lips without making a sound.

“Why are you here?”

“I also wanted to ask that.”

Marianne’s eyes were saying so.

Her finger this time pointed to a small hole in the wall.

Florin came here for the same reason.

There is a small hole in the wall, covered in cobwebs.

Through the hole, you can get a peek into the other side of the room.
