Lady Melissa knew the risks, but she knew that gaining intel regarding the brunette-haired woman was more important.

Hence, she drank the potion before she had entered the bar, Justin only staring at her confusedly, wondering why she was drinking a potion.

Justin knew not to interfere though, as it was not his place to do anything, he was just a guard.

Justin kept reminding himself not to meddle in his master's personal affairs.

"So, what do you say?"

Lady Melissa asked Duke Mason as he had been silent ever since Lady Melissa had told him about her request.

"It is risky to find out any information regarding or connected to the royal family, but since yours is a special request I'll try my best."

Duke Mason said as he sent Lady Melissa a wink.

Lady Melissa panicked for a second, thinking that Duke Mason had found out about her identity before she calmed herself down.

It wouldn't matter if Duke Mason found out that it was her who had asked, Lady Melissa had just changed her voice and appearance for safety precautions,

Though Lady Melissa did have to admit that it was pretty amazing that somehow Duke Mason was able to figure out that it was Lady Melissa, as she had made her appearance look like a man, though she still wore the cloak, and she made her voice deeper.

Justin on the other hand simply wore his cloak only, his appearance and everything still the same as Lady Melissa didn't have enough time to buy him a potion to disguise his appearance and voice.

Lady Melissa looked back up and stared into Duke Mason's eyes for a few seconds before she gave him a wink.

It wouldn't hurt to play with fire right?

Duke Mason stopped for a few seconds, staring at Lady Melissa.

He had been caught completely off guard when Lady Melissa had done such a thing to him.

However, he quickly, like Lady Melissa, regained his composure and gave Lady Melissa a smirk.

Justin stood in the background wondering why this was all happening and who the boss was to Lady Melissa.

He could practically feel the tension in the air from a couple of floors away.

Lady Melissa cleared her throat as she spoke to Duke Mason.

"I'll be going now, update me when you've found intel, I'm sure you have a couple of methods on how to contact me."

Lady Melissa said, as she left the room, Justin followed her soon after.

Lady Melissa didn't spare Duke Mason a glance while she walked out, as he stared at her figure slowly disappearing from his sight with every step she took.

Justin had so many questions in his head, but he knew that he was practically nothing to Lady Melissa, or at least he thought so.

His job was to protect her, not to ask her any questions or meddle in her personal affairs, so he ignored his curiosity.

Lady Melissa left the guild pretty happy, all she had to do now was to just wait for Duke Mason to give her the intel on all the brunette-haired women and the Crown Prince, and if she still couldn't find the brunette-haired woman then she would ask Duke Mason on all the women the Crown Prince has ever interacted with, romantically or not.

Lady Melissa walked around the streets of the capital, peasants staring at her as Justin looked quite scary.

Justin did look intimidating, hence the reason why Lady Melissa had chosen him as her bodyguard, at least one of the reasons.

Lady Melissa could remember that one of the reasons why she wasn't close to her father when she was younger was because of how intimidating he was.

Although she did end up finding out that her father was a kind and honest man, he had intimidated her for most of her childhood with his bulky appearance.

The Duke was bulky and his facial appearance didn't exactly seem like that of a kind person.

Lady Melissa had ended up not judging a book by its cover anymore ever since her encounters like these, where people were actually kinder than Lady Melissa thought.

Lady Melissa had simply thought of this way because of their appearance.

Lady Melissa felt guilty for judging people by their appearances, but at least now she had learnt from her past mistakes.

Lady Melissa spent a few more hours with Justin in the capital, as they went through various shops, experiencing the fun of shopping.

Retail therapy was one of Lady Melissa's favourite things to do, granted that she didn't spend that much money.

If chamomile tea didn't help Lady Melissa feel better after her shitty day, then retail therapy certainly would.

Lady Melissa wouldn't shop for dresses or anything of that sort, instead, she would shop for tea, which sounded a little weird compared to what other noblewomen or women, in general, would shop for.

Lady Melissa had no interest in makeup, as she knew that she had tons of it at home.

However, there were many different types of tea, and Lady Melissa wanted to buy it all.

Lady Melissa had heard many great praises regarding the tea called 'English Breakfast', and decided to buy a box full of the tea, wanting to try it out as soon as she had reached home.

It was time for Lady Melissa's trip to the capital to end, but just before that, she would need to make one last stop.

The graveyard, to see Baron Kevin's tombstone.

In reality, Lady Melissa could've gone and seen Baron Kevin's grave a few days ago, but she tried to make herself busy, and do as much work as possible, not wanting to think about Baron Kevin.

Lady Melissa had tried her best to avoid any topic that would relate to Baron Kevin, or whenever he would suddenly pop into her head she would make the thought go away, not wanting to feel sad about his death, as that would usually end up with her crying.
