"I secretly startled him a bit, and he overreacted immediately, attempting to attack Prince Rickdo. He's quite skilled; if I hadn't changed my tactic to make him think his arms were severed, Rickdo might already be dead." Olivia nodded obediently.
On the carriage ride back, Leon listened in astonishment to Olivia's account of her unexpected discovery.
The second prince of Orland has an attendant poised to murder his lord at any moment?
He naturally had no doubt about Olivia's skills. That man's unusual movement clearly revealed his most genuine reaction.
If that man had made any defensive reaction in surprise, Olivia probably wouldn't be so certain of her suspicion.
Leon frowned and pondered.
But the problem is, with an assassin lurking around Prince Orland, is it a royal family dispute or a conspiracy within the kingdom's upper echelons? This issue involves many entanglements; should he involve himself?
Should he send someone to warn Prince Rickdo?
