After the Constellation disappeared, two hours later, Riche walked to her room after listening to all of Kane’s excuses.

‘Something is suspicious…’

Although Kane said they had known each other for a long time, Riche felt that his eyes were strange.

They shook like a frog in front of a snake and was sweating a lot.

And that’s not all. Although Kane had dated other women and spent time alone with them before, he had never openly shown his interest to anyone in front of Riche.

However, today, even with Riche right next to him, he accepted her offer without hesitation.

‘We need to have a meeting.’

As Riche thought of this, she arrived in front of her room.

She opened the door with a serious face and took out a communication crystal from the desk drawer.

Then, Riche put her mana into the crystal. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the NøvᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“Hey, Riche. What happened all of a sudden?”

Skaya’s voice came from the crystal.

Riche answered her with a serious tone.

“Yes, it’s not something else. We need to have a meeting.”

“A meeting? Are you serious?”

“Yes, I am serious.”

In a voice that sounded irritated, Skaya said:

“No, why is he always attracting women like this? Even the saintess! Ugh, I totally agree with you.”

Skaya was right. It was undeniable that Kane was handsome, but he was always surrounded by women.

In fact, he was so good-looking that women passing by would stare at him.

As Skaya stomped her foot angrily, she asked:

“So, who is the woman this time?”

“Um… I don’t know,” replied Riche.

“Huh?! You don’t know who she is?” Skaya was surprised.

Riche was not only any weaker than Eileen or the top students at the Royal Academy, but she was also a professional assassin from the David family.

There was hardly any information that she didn’t know.

Especially when it came to people in her interest, she was even more knowledgeable.

While Skaya was momentarily stunned, Riche replied in a cold tone:

“I think she’s a noble.”

“What’s your basis for saying that?”

“It’s not so much a basis as it is her behavior, demeanor, and overall dignity. Also… this is just my intuition, but she didn’t seem like an average person in terms of her abilities.”

“Hmm… if you’re saying that, then she’s probably not an average person. I’ll contact Eileen. When do you want to meet?”

Riche replied firmly to Skaya’s question.

“Now. I think it would be good to meet right away.”

“You seem to be in a hurry?”

“Yes. That’s right. But Skaya, didn’t you clearly say you didn’t like Kane last time?”

That’s right. When Skaya was studying for her last midterm exam at the cafe, she said she didn’t like Kane.

Of course, her behavior showed otherwise.

Actually, I’ve known this for a long time.

Ever since they were childhood friends and Skaya has liked Kane.

Of course, she seems to deny it herself.

‘Well, if it’s about Skaya…’

Polygamy is legal on the continent.

That’s why I admit women like Skaya.

It’s understandable because she was the one who, despite in Kane’s rogue days, was particularly concerned about him and the person who pushed for the relationship between herself and Kane – none other than Skaya.

So, as a woman like Skaya, she would be satisfied as Kane’s wife .

Of course, she can’t compromise on the quality of the person.

‘And she’s also a duchess…’

Thinking about this made her happy to be able to see Kane every day as his personal maid, but on the other hand, it felt like a curse.

In reality, the chances of her and Kane being together because of this position are not very high.

Anyway, the sudden arrival of that woman won’t do.

It’s true that Kane is handsome, but she’s not aiming for him just for that reason.

‘It’s clear that there’s some intention behind it.’

While Riche was suspicious of the Constellation, Skaya answered her question as if making an excuse.

“Oh, no. I’m just Kane’s childhood friend. Yes! I was just worried, that’s all!”

“….I see. I understand for now. Then let’s call Eileen and gather there.”

With those words, Riche headed to a famous cafe in the Royal Capital.

***

Upon hearing the news from Skaya, Eileen put on her pink training clothes and took the handkerchief Kane had lent her before heading to the cafe on her date.

She arrived at the meeting place soon after and ordered a drink from the sweating cafe owner before going up to the second floor.

“Eileen, we’re over here.”

“You’re already here?”

They called Eileen as if Skaya and Riche were waiting for her.

She sat down in a seat that was somewhat empty, and turned her gaze to Riche.

“Why did you suddenly call us like this?”

“Yes, let me explain.”

Riche explained to Eileen what she had told Skaya.

Although Eileen had a calm expression on her face, she was boiling inside.

‘Ugh! Why do he keep getting involved with womens?’

While Eileen was stomping her feet inwardly, Riche opened her mouth like pronouncing a death sentence.

“And the most important thing is that Young Master will have a date with her tomorrow.”

“D-date?!”

“What?!”

Hearing those words, the two of them are surprised, with their eyes wide open.

Eileen quickly stands up from her seat.

Coincidentally, at the same time, the owner of the cafe gives her a drink with an awkward smile

“Here… your drinks are ready.”

“Ah! Thank you.”

Eileen takes the cup as if she had naturally stood up to receive it.

Then she nonchalantly drinks her beverage, pretending nothing happened.

Sip, sip.

The two of them stared at Eileen in disbelief.

Eileen coughs awkwardly, feeling uneasy.

“Ahem. So, what do you suggest we do?”

In response to her question, both Skaya and Riche looked at each other.

Riche then responds to Eileen with a serious expression.

“What if we follow them?”

“Well, that’s not a bad idea, but the problem is, Riche, do you know when they will meet?”

In response to Skaya’s question, Riche recalls the conversation she overheard between the Constellation and Kane earlier.

“I overheard when they are meeting earlier.”

“But, isn’t that a crime?”

In response to Eileen’s question, Skaya’s conscience was pricked and she couldn’t bring herself to answer.

However, unlike the other two, Riche brazenly remained expressionless and shook her head.

“It’s not a crime. I just happen to be on the same place as Young Master.”

Her rationalization left the other two at a loss for words.

They knew that Riche liked Kane, but they couldn’t have imagined that she would be so shameless to do eavesdropping.

However, the two also liked Kane as much as Riche did.

Therefore, they nodded their heads in agreement, rationalizing, like Risha.

“Yeah, that’s right. They made a promise with each other, but our routes coincidentally overlap with the two of them.”

“That’s right. It’s unavoidable. It’s absolutely nothing like tailing.”

So, the three of them made an alliance for the first time, rationalizing their actions.
