The Royal Adviser was standing right beside me, and I could see when I side-eyed him that he was on the verge of breaking the character that he had played perfectly for many years.
I could see the expression on his face slowly twisting with every word I uttered. However, he couldn't say anything because he knew that I was right about this whole thing; he knew that those people were assassins, and he knew that the noble had hired them.
He got closer to me once again and whispered, "If this continues, they might try to overtake you from the throne. You need to listen to what I told you back there."
It seemed like he was trying to threaten me or scare me for some reason. After all, his plan was going off the rails; he had planned to kill both Phoebe and me this way. However, it had completely crumbled because of what I had just said, basically thanking the criminals.
