At Earl Hall's villa, Audrey read Hobart's letter and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Mr. Fool's mission had finally been entrusted to someone. Given the reliability Hobart usually displayed, the Beyonder he found should be quite capable.
She reread the brief letter. I never expected assassinating an Ambassador to cost so much! And the additional condition they proposed is rather difficult too!
"Audrey, the person who delivered the letter seemed to know I could speak," Susie suddenly said.
Audrey was startled at first, then she shook her head with a smile. "Impossible. Mr. Hobart has only visited twice in total. He couldn't possibly know you drank a Potion."

Hobart praised Fors
