"I understand, you may leave now,"
Having heard the report, Collins waved his hand expressionlessly.
"Yes, my lord."
The room fell silent once more. Only then, after being chilled by the cold wind outside all evening, did Collins's thoughts settle.
He thought about the intelligence he had heard tonight and cross-checked it with the situation just now—
That "assistant" named Heine really sneaked into the Nissian's room.
So much for being a chaste devotee, it seems finding lovers is what they're best at.
But the more he thought this way, the scornful remark "you can buy one from the Brotherhood for two silver coins" became increasingly vivid before his eyes.
It made his chest feel tight.
If it hadn't been for the news from Grey, he might still be shocked to learn that Simon's assistant had managed to slip into a devotee's room, and he would start to suspect whether the Nissians were colluding with Makala...
That was a close call!
