Chapter 71



Chapter 71

Even though it was already autumn, the inside of the information guild was colder than Citrina had expected.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Perhaps that was due to the piercing gaze of a man, who was presumably a high-ranking member of the guild.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Citrina Foluin, I want you to look into me and bring back a report on my reputation.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Understand? That shouldnt be too difficult.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Okay.

It would be a bit awkward to see a report about herself, but it was a door she needed to pass through anyway.

Citrina smiled brightly at him.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.The man coughed hollowly.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

And alsoyou want us to do a simple background check on Duke Pietro?

Yes.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Please do so.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Theres an unwritten rule about not touching the ducal families, but I understand that you and Duke Pietro have a special bond.

The man whispered with a smirk.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.It didnt look like he was someone who would back down easily.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Citrina crossed her arms in an easygoing manner.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Im just trying to gather rumors, so why is it so expensive?

Citrina smiled and pulled another gold coin out of her pocket.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.However, the mans expression remained grim even after seeing the gold coin.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Its not a question of money.

Is it that dangerous?

Yes.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Dangerous, very dangerous.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

The mans face tightened in fear.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.There was some undercurrent in the way he spoke.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Hes worked with almshouses to provide for the poor, helped with city improvement projects, and hes gotten rid of the infamous magic tower once and for allyet theyre still reluctant.

The information they gathered is refined.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.They didnt deal with rumors.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

I cant order you to do something so dangerous.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Please only gather as much information that it does not put you in danger.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Desians cold, sharp attitude did not seem to be a lie,

but he was kind to her.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.It left her with a few questions.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Why on Earthyoure pretending to be nice to others, arent you?

She wouldnt have to wait long for answers.

Several questions remained, but her doubts were soon put to rest.

The man from the information guild spoke up.

Citrina Foluin-nim, can you keep me safe from Duke Pietro?

The mans face was serious.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Citrina spoke in a small voice.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Yes, I will ensure your safety.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Though Im not sure if I can.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Good.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Thats a promise you must keep.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

So when can I expect to receive the information?

In a week.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Ill get back to you in a weeks time.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

A week wasnt too long.

Citrina nodded her head gently and got up.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.The inner doors of the information guild opened out into a waiting room.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.The only way out was through the waiting room.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

She needed to get out of there quickly.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.She wondered how Litas meeting with the counts young lord went, but things did not go her way.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Citrina heard a familiar voice.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Citrina!

Princess

Shh!

Wearing a burgundy hood, it seemed that she had come out to play without her ladies-in-waiting.

From what Citrina had seen of Princess Ianas personality, this was not a difficult thing to comprehend.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.So she turned and spoke to her.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Read only on

Whats going on?

No, its

Princess Iana scratched her head.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Citrina tilted her head to the side.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Maybe she was a bit embarrassed to talk about it.

Citrinas thoughts were likely correct.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.The princess blinked cautiously and looked at Citrina.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Citrina, what about you?

I received His Majestys decree, granting me a title which cannot be passed down

Ianas mouth opened wide.

Congratulations, Citrina! I knew you would do well.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Ever since the day you gave me that jewel, I knew it was fate.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

All of a sudden, talking about fate?

Iana seemed more impressed than Citrina.

Is it because I work with a spirit? It doesnt add up.

Nevertheless, something was unclear.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.From wherever the source of Ianas love came from, Citrina did not understand.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

So, Citrina, why did you suddenly come to the information guild?

I was told to prove my reputation personally, so I thought Id get a little help from the information guild.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.And while Im at itread only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Ah, what was she going to say?

Citrina paused and Princess Ianas eyes lit up.

Youre going to find out about Desian Pietrois that right?

No, how the hell did she know? What, did she have mind-reading powers?

Citrina replied in a dazed manner.

Ah, yes.

Princess Ianas eyes widened uncontrollably.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.She stammered over and over again.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

are, are you interested in something?

Ianas loud voice echoed in the information guilds waiting room.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Everyone in the waiting room, waiting their turn, glanced in their direction.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Iana looked around and asked cautiously.

Yes.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Id like to be of help in some small way.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Thats why, Your Highnessread only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

No, I was just wondering if you liked the duke.

The airheaded princess blurted out.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Citrina hesitated for a moment.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

I mean, I do like him, but its not something youd usually think.

Princess Ianas brain wiring seemed unique.

While Citrina was wondering how to respond, Iana called her name in a hushed, solemn voice.

Read only on

Citrina.

Yes?

Theres a little cafe by the square that I often visit.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Lets go there.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

This turn of events was an extreme shift.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Citrina didnt know why the princess was in the information guild, why she was in disguise, and she didnt know why the princess was suddenly asking her to go to a cafe.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Surely, the princess was here to take care of something important.

Maybe I can get some information about whats going on.

Ill give you some relationship advice.

I could use some other advice, Your Highness.

Citrina smiled brightly.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Iana nodded and squeezed Citrinas hand.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.

Citrina was taken aback.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there.Unexpectedly, Princess Iana had a strong grip.
