"Well, I'm the Crown Prince, after all," the Crown Prince days with a smirk.

"Stop avoiding the question," Marianne says, crossing her arms. "Just tell me how you knew all of that."
The Crown Prince hesitates, then let out a sigh. "I have...sources," he says, his voice low. "People who keep me informed about what's going on in the kingdom. I know more than most people think I do."
"So you have spies?" Marianne says, her eyebrows raised. "Is that ethical?"
