"How did you know about Checkmate's involvement? It wasn't even reported in the news, nor was it ever leaked to the public," Core inquired, looking at Julianne with great suspicion.
"Oh, I actually didn't know about that until recently. You see we have wiretaps in the luxury room…"
"Invasion of privacy. You're spying on high school kids. I'm calling the authorities," Rein stated, unamused imitating Sahprilla's way of speech.
"Wait wait wait! We turned them off okay? You don't have to worry," she reassured, Rein breathing out in relief.
"So if that's the case, you know everything that happened afterward? How some nobles in Orthlys spun the story to trick the king into declaring war?" Rein asked.
"Yeah. And that brings me to the second reason I called you here. Melina Alister, it is to my understanding that she is your aunt?"
"... Yes."
"And both Core and Clyde here have met her?" Julianne re-iterated.
