"Ivan, there's movement."
That night, Pearney contacted Ivan through the Secret Method Seal.
Ivan hadn't expected that someone outside would actually contact Pearney, and even more absurd, that they managed to do so. He wondered if it was because Toyennes had allowed it.
"What did he say?"
Pearney replied, "Billerie asked me to find a way to interfere with or destroy the castle's defensive array. He thinks too highly of me, I really don't know what he's thinking, I've suddenly realized he's also a bit unreliable.
I had no choice but to tell him about your situation, saying your apothecary skills are outstanding and Toyennes values you, allowing you to concoct potions in a lab, and that you have a pass token and password, which might be useful to him."
Upon hearing her words, Ivan's face darkened.
"You sure betray people quickly."
"Wasn't the reason you told me so that I would pass the information to Billerie?"
"What do you think?"
