Everyone was tired due to the war, not only Duke Ashford and Roosevelt who went to the battlefield. My father was busy helping to manage Ashford's mansion while the duke was away. Sir Rowan was busy searching for Olivia and ended up keeping an eye at the war with Grirea since the spies all died.
There was no exception for me and the empress. We were busy relaying information between the duke and Sir Rowan. We reported everything that happened in the capital to the duke.
Beside helping the empress, I was also busy helping my father manage Whitley's mansion. I took it as my training to be heir of the Whitley family.
When I was checking the family documents I suddenly remembered about Olivia. She used to change her servant quite frequently when we were young. How if Olivia had betrayed us much earlier than we knew? How if she had planned everything since the very beginning?
