What Fiona asked Livya to do was simple. She just had to secretly murmur into the crown prince’s ears about the illegal arena and urge him to go.

“You don’t have to directly ask him to go. I don’t want Lady Livya to be caught in a pot for nothing.”

Livya laughed. “Don’t worry. I’m confident.”

Fiona had predicted that Livya might be able to do this when she asked Livya that time. In fact, Fiona was convinced that this might be Livya’s specialty. Wasn’t that the type of ability the villain character basically was equipped with? Destruction by only words!

‘I trust the characters’ setting.’

“So, look forward to it then?”

Livya raised the corners of her lips.

“By all means.”

Livya had not yet blown her powerful destruction, but her voice was already sweet. Fiona didn’t expect that the characteristics she gave to Livya was that charming. Livya’s voice was so gentle and charming that Fiona was sure that anyone would fall for it. 

Livya smiled and went to the terrace where the crown prince was. 

‘I’m worried.’

Fiona looked at Livya’s back and glanced at the surroundings. She made sure no one was there, then she quickly went to a nearby window. 

‘If something happens to her, it’s my responsibility.’

The sun was setting, and the place where they met was quite a distance. Fiona was afraid that Crown Prince Enoch would do something to Livya. 

Fiona took her shoes off. Then she took a moment to measure the distance to the branch near the window. 

‘I think it’s going to work.’

Fiona climbed on the window sill and jumped off with ease. She moderately manipulated her magic so she could settle on a thick branch. The leaves fell. She then sat on the relatively stable branch and looked at the terrace where Livya and the crown prince met. She was in a position where she could shoot fireballs straight away if the crown prince did anything futile. 

‘This makes me feel like an assassin.’

Fiona held her breath and listened to their conversation.

The sound of Livya’s voice, soft and sweet, could be heard.

“Your Highness, have you heard the rumor?”

Crown Prince Enoch has been feeling good lately. It was because Livya, who had been rejecting him, changed her attitude like a flip of a palm after he had sent the proposal letter.

‘Yeah, she’s just playing hard to get.’

“What rumor are you talking about?”

“Well, I’ve heard that there is a place where you can see monsters in the middle of the Capital.”

“In the Capital?” Enoch asked curiously. The reason is that monsters could only be seen in the forest, outside the walls. 

“Yes, it was a very strange rumor. I wonder where it is.”

“If it’s some monsters, didn’t we see them a lot during the hunting competition?”

“It’s different. It’s said the monsters are locked up and we could see them closely.” Livya squinted her eyes. “I’ve heard, we could see the monsters fighting amongst themselves to decide winning or losing.”

Enoch had a curious look on his face. “Win or lose?”

“Yes, it’s a very special sight that ordinary people can never see. Doesn’t that sound fun?”

The word “special sight” was very beautifully used. 

“Well, where is this place?”

What an easy catch. Livya shrugged her shoulders lightly.

“I don’t know either. Well, you know… Many men refused to give me details about that. In fact, I’ve only heard this story from Count Isaac and Viscount O’Hell.”

Those are the two nobles who Fiona assumed were related to the illegal arena during her investigation. And Livya used the information smoothly.

Enoch giggled and stroked Livya’s cheek. 

“That’s good. Because the most beautiful flower in this society should be treated with respect.”

Livya endured the discomfort that was creeping up.

“Well, if Your Highness asks this to those two, of course they would give you an answer, right?”

“That’s right, Livya.”

It was almost over. Livya spoke in a soft tone. “Do you mind telling me your impression after you watch it later? I’m curious.”

“Of course not. Sure.”

Enoch grinned at her submissive attitude. 

“It’s interesting to hear you chatter like a night owl, but come closer.”

When Enoch reached out, Livya smoothly slipped back. “I’m sorry Your Highness, I have an appointment with another lady.”

“But, isn’t the crown prince more important?”

Livya fluttered her eyelashes and smiled with a very charming smile. “Let’s have a better time when we meet next time, okay?”

She whispered a lie in a sweet voice as if she had put candy in her mouth. 

“Because we will have a lot of time to spend together.”

‘She’s good.’

I briefly thought while sitting on a branch, listening to their conversation. 

The crown prince adjusted his hand that almost touched Livya. 

‘If Livya were not to have another choice, and follow along with the proposal, and she put her mind in that position, she might be able to make the crown prince become like a puppet.’

It was pretty scary though it was just my assumption. 

The tension was relieved when the crown prince and Livya disappeared from the terrace. 

Now I have to go back too.

“What are you doing there?”

Then, a voice was heard from below. I was so shocked that my body trembled subconsciously. I didn’t feel the presence.
