"Aren't you worried that this is really a scheme?" asked Isabel.
When Arthur wanted to answer, he added, "I mean a scheme from me, I orchestrated everything including that guy's actions. You know, we are not always in the same place, there are many things I can do without you knowing."
Hearing her words, Arthur who previously wanted to speak froze again with his mouth still open.
Of course, her words made sense. It was also something possible where she designed everything. After all, she was a powerful Magus, plus having a position, there weren't many things she couldn't do as long as she wanted to.
Perhaps she had gone to Monaco first, settling her affairs before devising a new scheme with the purpose of luring her.
"Is this your scheme, aunt?" asked Arthur, choosing to ask in response.
He didn't know why, but he was made to feel that there really was a scheme because of the way Isabel spoke with her mysterious smile.
That ultimately caused him to take steps like this.
