Inside the conference room, Qin Yuwan and Gu Yu sat quietly on one side of the round table. To their left sat a Cardinal Deacon dressed in a crimson uniform.
After the Cardinal Deacon's fifth sigh, he finally could not help but ask again.
"Candidate Gu Yu, when will they be back?"
"Actually, I think they should have waited until Duke Casper arrived before going after the criminals."
He spoke cautiously, afraid of offending them.
After all, if those two ladies died here, things would become a serious problem.
Marquis Hilton's affair had already thrown Fide City into chaos. If something happened to those two as well, this deacon would probably be dismissed the very next day.
"Your Excellency, this is already the third time you've asked that."
Watching the worried middle-aged deacon, Gu Yu felt even more speechless.
"Please trust in their strength, all right?" she reassured him solemnly.
"Of course I trust them, but..."
Seeing that he was about to ramble on again, Gu Yu suddenly had an idea.
She shifted her chair closer, leaned toward him, and lowered her voice. "Your Excellency, I actually have a secret to tell you. Do you want to hear it? But you absolutely can't tell anyone else."
Seeing her act so mysterious, the previously distressed deacon immediately became interested.
Even Qin Yuwan, who was usually so composed, perked up her ears.
"Candidate Gu Yu, go ahead. I swear I won't tell anyone. I'll take this secret to my grave."
After he spoke, Gu Yu glanced at the silent Qin Yuwan beside her.
Seeing both of them looking at her, Qin Yuwan could only helplessly join in. "I swear too?"
"Mm-hm." Satisfied by their reactions, Gu Yu nodded.
"Actually, Knight Chen Xi is Lord Casper's illegitimate daughter."
The blue-haired girl said it
