"I'VE ALREADY sent people to investigate the fertility center," Nikolai informed Nichole. "I'll update you soon."
"Thank you, Nikolai-ssi."
Nikolai kind of felt awkward now that only he and Nichole were talking.
His wife, Mona, encouraged him to talk to his half-sister alone.
[And here we are now.]
By "here," he meant Nichole's café called 'Drinks for the Princess Royal.'
It was closed because of the kidnapping incident.
Even so, Nichole still made coffee for Nikolai.
"Nikolai-ssi, I know that you helped me because we have a common enemy," Nichole said carefully, and she was probably referring to her mother-in-law when she said "common enemy." "However, I still feel like there's something else I need to know."
Oh?
"Nikolai-ssi, did you really not come to this village to meet me?"
