As a reporter for The Steambird, Charlotte had interviewed countless people, including scholars, merchants, knights, farmers, officials, and more. After getting to know people from all walks of life, she had gradually acquired a special skill for reading people.
It involved observing a person's microexpressions to judge their personality traits.
In Charlotte's eyes, the Yucheng before her was completely different from the Yucheng she had imagined. She had always pictured him as a high-ranking official with an insatiable lust for women, and that impression had only deepened during her two hours at the Regent's Office.
The reason was that there seemed to be many breathtakingly beautiful women passing through the rear courtyard of the Regent's Office, some of whom had not even appeared in the photographs she had snapped earlier.
Yet now that she had finally met the Regent, she found him very different from her impression of him. Although she noticed him looking her over, there was nothing lecherous in his eyes. It was simply a very normal look of curiosity toward a stranger he was meeting for the first time.
To further test her suspicion, Charlotte readily extended her hand and shook Yucheng's, then stared intently at his face, only to find that she still learned nothing.
Yucheng gave his trademark smile. "Hello, Miss Charlotte. Welcome to Inazuma."
Charlotte said, "You must be the Regent who cut down Osial, tore the Dread Dragon Ursa apart with his bare hands, and repealed Inazuma's Vision Hunt Decree and Sakoku Decree. I've long admired your reputation. It's an honor to meet you."
Yucheng said, "Haha, nothing but empty fame. Miss Charlotte, let's get started with today's schedule."
Hearing this, Charlotte had no choice but to set her curiosity aside for the moment and begin the most important part of the day.
