With this thought, Aiwass's mind had already formed a new plan.
As expected, Drost naturally lit the candle.
"It's a bit dark." Aiwass pretended not to know what he was doing and casually mentioned.
But Minister Drost just kept a straight face and shook his head seriously, "You wouldn't want the people outside to know we are having a secret meeting in the queen's chamber, would you?"
"You're still worried about that?"
Aiwass half seriously, half mockingly retorted.
"You don't understand, Archbishop Your Excellency."
Drost just feigned a sigh, "I am now... standing on the edge of a cliff, in imminent danger."
"No, I do understand."
Aiwass said nonchalantly, "I even know that after the Antimony Kingdom is done using you, they plan to kill you."
The candle flame did not flicker.
Seeing this, Drost gave a sudden start of alarm.
He didn't respond with denials like "That's impossible" or "Show me the evidence," suggesting he already had a similar suspicion in mind.
