Cecilia stood before the window of Lount Castle, gazing out at the dusk with a lowered gaze and a sad expression that she hid behind her mask. Cecilia had witnessed the crimes that had occurred in her kingdom since she transmigrated. She had become accustomed to killing or even punishing people from her own kingdom. But even after living dozens of times, Cecilia had never gotten used to it.
"Your Highness, I am ready."
Cecilia only turned her head when Reinhard came, full of determination to serve his kingdom. Cecilia nodded slightly. Today, they would catch the little rat that was eating away at Magenta from the inside.
"Have you made sure you look like you've found another clue in front of everyone?"
Reinhard nodded to answer Cecilia's question.
"From the start, I was not good at pretending, Your Highness. Ever since I found out that my family might be involved in the spread of the plague, I'm sure the traitor realized that I wouldn't stop until everything was revealed."
