Since the night of the Emberfest Festival, after Molly and Fiona returned home and shared what happened at Harmony Pce, Yuvan had been consumed by anxiety.
He didn’t need <b>Wayne </b>to advise him. He understood that it was crucial not to leave the capital for Valken at such a critical moment. Otherwise, it would be like dering his guilt. Wayne advised him to focus on his duties in the pce, feigning ignorance about everything that had transpired. Those Yuvan had brought to the capital had to remain low and not do anything.
On the surface, Yuvan maintained a calm demeanor; inside, he was a whirlpool of turmoil. He wanted to gather information but had no way to do so. He knew that those who had been closely involved with Eleanor were all on edge, and his status as a prince made things even more delicate.
After considering his options, the only person he could potentially glean information from was Molly, whose cousin, Violet, resided at Hell Monarch Estate and was Carissa’s close friend.
So, before entering the pce to care for Ruth today, Yuvan went to Molly’s chambers.
“You don’t have any acquaintances in the capital, and imagine this time has been quite dull for you. I recall you have a cousin at Hell Monarch Estate. You should visit her more often, have some conversations, and subtly inquire about the case involving Grand Princess Eleanor. Just make sure it doesn’t raise any suspicions.”
Although Molly didn’t fully grasp the gravity of Yuvan’s treasonous ns, she sensed he was hiding something from her. The events of that night still frightened her.
“Your Highness, if Grand Princess Eleanor is involved in treason, it’s probably best if we don’t get entangled in her affairs.”
Yuvan’s expression darkened slightly as he replied<b>, </b>“It’s precisely because it’s a grave charge that we need to find out more. After all, <b>she </b>is my sister and was raised alongside me. If anything were to happen, it could implicate us. We need to gather information so we can prepare for any potential fallout.”
Reluctantly, Molly conceded, “Alright, I’ll visit her today
“Remember, don’t ask directly. Use subtle hints instead,” Yuvan reminded her.
“Understood, I’ll keep that in mind<b>.</b>”
However, Molly didn’t make any effort to seek out Violet after Yuvan left for the pce.
She knew this was her <b>chance </b>to win favor with Yuvan and overshadow Fiona, but it also wasn’t exactly a good opportunity. Her cousin was difficult to deal with Violet often acted superior and had given Molly nothing but cold shoulders during their previous encounters. Even strangers would at least nod in acknowledgment, but Violet wouldn’t even do that.
So, despite promising Yuvan she would seek out Violet, Molly decided against it.
Before entering the pce, Yuvan had naturally exchanged words with <b>Fiona</b>. She was equally anxious, unsure of the current situation, and afraid that Eleanor would expose the involvement of Yuvan and his family.
Fiona was desperate to learn <b>more</b>. It was already past five in <b>the </b>evening, and when she found Molly still
at home, she approached her.
However, the maid informed her that Molly was napping. Fiona’s face turned a deep shade of red in frustration and she snapped at the maid, “Go inform her that Prince Yuvan wants to know if she has visited Ms. Spencer.”
Molly was enjoying a peaceful sleep when Fiona’s loud entrance jolted her awake, leaving her quite displeased. Upon hearing it was Yuvan’smand, she reluctantly got up to deal with the situation, instructing someone to bring Fiona in.
As soon as Fiona entered the room, she eximed, “Why haven’t you left yet, Lady Molly? The prince has already sent someone to ask about it.” This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
Molly replied tersely, “My cousin isn’t idle in Hell Monarch Estate. Given the gravity of this situation and the Supreme Court’s involvement, she’s certainly busy attending to matters. I wouldn’t be able to see her if I went in the middle of the day. It would be best to wait until tomorrow morning.<b>” </b>
Fiona’s anxiety red at her words. “But His Highness wants you to go today! You can’t put it off until tomorrow! The situation changes rapidly, and knowing something a little earlier can make all the difference.”
Molly shot Fiona an annoyed look. “What does a rapidly changing situation have to do with us? We’re not involved in the treason. We’re merely trying to gather information. It’s not like we’re in a life–or–death situation. Besides, didn’t I already say? Violet is likely not at home during the day.”
Fiona was exasperated by Molly’s indifference, but she was unable to exin her urgency.
“How do you know she’s not there if you haven’t even gone? You should at least make the effort. Even if she isn’t home, it’ll give you something to tell His Highnesster. Otherwise, he might me you for it.”
