On their way to the crime scene, a few people bowed to Evelyn recognising her to which she nodded back. Alfred who wasn't aware of her being a princess realised now and gave her nervous looks.

She remembered Earl's words and tried to figure out Alfred's mistakes. According to her contemplation, in order for himself to be safe and to get rid of the imposter quickly, Alfred placed his trust, but on the wrong person. Feelings to be safe and end the task quickly, clouded his mind.
