But clearly, she hadn\u2019t expected to witness something like this. Arthur stood up and glanced toward his private parlor. \u201cShall we? I had intended on telling you about this since we will be leaving for the capital soon.\u201d Arthur felt where Christina\u2019s gaze lingered and smiled nonchalantly. \u201cI know this isn\u2019t a sight for a lady to see. We\u2019ll have it cleaned up right away.\u201d * * * The two sat across from each other and puffed on cigars instead of sipping on tea.<\/p>\n<p>Christina was the first to break the brief silence. \u201c\u2026Was it an assassin? Could it be Empress Maria?\u201d \u201cWhen Empress Maria begins her crackdown, Arthur will need Julius\u2019s protection.\u201d Both her mother and the head maid had said it, and it was also something Christina had assessed herself as well. But she had thought of it in a political sense. She didn\u2019t think she would run into an assassin\u2019s dead body so early on.<\/p>\n<p>Arthur calmly exhaled smoke. \u201cMaybe, maybe not. We haven\u2019t been able to get our hands on any evidence. He could have been sent from the enemy country, so we mustn\u2019t jump to conclusions.\u201d \u201cThe enemy country? Their princess and prince are being held hostage, yet they would send an assassin to you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s possible. Like you just said, they could make it look like Empress Maria\u2019s doing.\u201d Christina narrowed her eyes at Arthur\u2019s overly cool attitude. \u201cIs this not the first time you\u2019ve had an assassin?\u201d \u201cIt is not.\u201d Arthur did not explain further. Christina\u2019s eyes sharpened. \u201cPlease elaborate. It doesn\u2019t make sense for me not to know when an assassin has trespassed into my estate, does it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arthur smiled. \u201cSeeing how taken aback you are tells me you\u2019ve only ever used one yourself and never had one used on you.\u201d Christina glared at him with a straight face. \u201cWhat is that supposed to mean?\u201d Arthur crossed his legs and leaned against the backrest. He took a drag of his cigar as he asked, \u201cI hear you are a very important customer of the Fixers Guild.<\/p>\n<p>What kind of request did you make exactly?\u201d Christina flashed him a cynical smile. \u201cYou make such accusations on your wife when you don\u2019t have any proof? I thought you were more prudent than that.\u201d Arthur grinned. \u201cYou don\u2019t think I have any?\u201d 1kitap1.com\/en Christina\u2019s Way Christina rested her elbow on her crossed knees and grinned.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2025 by Dalsaewol All rights reserved.
