472 UNBELIEVABLE!

“Let’s hear your reason. Just remember if I don’t like your explanation, I’ll separate your head from your neck.”

At Zinnia’s threat, Prince Louis removed his disguise.

Veronica finally recognized him. He was the prince she saw at the party.

“I’m here because I had a feeling that Queen Mother was connected to the witches somehow,” Prince Louis confessed.

“What does that have to do with your appearance in the tower?” Zinnia interrogated him.

Prince Louis said, “I knew for a long time she was plotting something against the Magic Tower. I thought I needed to do something in order to save the tower and myself.

“Therefore, I decided to come to the Magic Tower in disguise and join hands with Queen Mother. This way, I will be able to keep an eye on her.”

After hearing his reason, Veronica raised her eyebrows.

She started, “I understand your reasons…”

.....

“Veronica, this is…” Zinnia tried to stop her.

Veronica raised a hand to stop her and continued, “…but you have no right to sell our private information or important information to anyone. Do you know I may be in grave danger thanks to you?”

Prince Louis elegantly bowed. “I deeply apologize if it somehow affects your lifestyle.”

“I heard enough.” Ovior intertwined his fingers and placed his chin on top of his joined fingers.

His cold eyes gazed at the prince.

“Crown Prince Louis, your stupidity and selfishness might cause her life.

“Your apology isn’t enough to pay off her life. Do you think Arthur will let you go if something happens to her?”

Prince Louis looked at Ovior. “Why will Mistress Silverstar’s life be at stake?”

Zinnia glared at him.

“Are you stupid or pretending to be one? Since you are spying on us, you must know Veronica’s true identity.

“I’ve already found out the witches knew that identity too. You sold her out.”

She roared at the detestable prince.

Prince Louis was stunned. His heart was shaken by Zinnia’s roar but didn’t let others sense his fear.

“That’s nonsense, Lady Zinnia. I have only disclosed how she hid her amazing silver hair. I said nothing more.

“Moreover, it’s not easy to gain Queen Mother’s trust. She has more spies in the tower.

“As a result, there are some facts I had to share just as much as other spies knew.

“I swear by Goddess Juvena, I’ve never shared any information that could harm Mistress Silverstar.”

“Fine, we won’t hold it against you,” Veronica stated.

“Is that okay to leave him be?” Zinnia still couldn’t trust him.

Ovior solemnly responded, “We have to. In fact, as long as he is staying here, the Queen won’t know we have found out about him.

“This way, she won’t send another spy. Prince Louis will do the spying part and at the same time, he will have to tell us about all the spies who were planted by the Queen and the witches.

“We will monitor the spies and Prince Louis will sell the information exactly how we tell him to. That way, if the witches want the war, we will be able to win it.”

“Brilliant, Ovior! I do like the plan,” Veronica said. “Let’s do it according to your plan.”

“Leave it to me,” Ovior replied.

“I’ll do according to your wish,” Prince Louis stated.

“Yes, you must or else you will face my sword despite being a prince. Got that?” Zinnia threatened him.

Prince Louis smiled elegantly at her.

“Lady Zinnia is as upright as her. You look more beautiful when you are threatening someone.”

Upon hearing his words, Veronica and Ovior were speechless.

“Huh? What do you mean?” Zinnia squinted her eyes. Her eyes were full of suspicion.

Prince Louis placed his left hand on his chest and said, “Ever since I first saw you, I’ve admired your beauty, intelligence and strength. You can say, it’s love at first sight.”

Veronica: “…”

Ovior: “…”

Zinnia: “???”

Prince Louis earnestly stated, “It’s my long-time wish to be able to get married to you.”

“Huh?”

Zinnia was thunderstruck. She had never been this puzzled in her whole life.

Veronica was confused as well.

‘Am I hearing this? Crown Prince Louis is really something. Doesn’t he know how to read the room?’

‘Zinnia is even threatening him with her sword. And he has the gal to confess his love to her?’

She wondered as she stared at Prince Louis.

Ovior cleared his throat.

“Ahem! I understand that you are attracted to Zinnia’s beauty but did you forget your age difference?” he mentioned.

If it was another time, Zinnia would throw her shuriken at him. However, this time the situation was a bit different.

She was wondering the same thing!

‘That’s true. Zinnia is in her 30s whereas Prince Louis is in his 20s. There is a big difference,’ Veronica thought.

Although she was thinking the same thing, she dared not to speak aloud.

Who knew if Zinnia would attack her?

Even though Veronica was good at fighting, she wasn’t as good as Zinnia.

Meanwhile, the most seductive woman on earth was furious to the point her seductiveness flew away out of the window.

“Love at first sight? Marriage?! If you told us the Queen’s plan earlier, we could have prepared earlier. Veronica’s true identity wouldn’t be disclosed.”

At Zinnia’s outburst, Prince Louis began to show his guilt.

He bowed at Veronica and said, “I’m really sorry for the trouble. I wasn’t thinking straight.”

Veronica started to feel uncomfortable as the Royal Prince kept bowing to her.

“I forgive you this time. However, there won’t be the next time,” she stated. Her words hinted at a fair warning.

“That’s very generous of you, Mistress Silverstar.”

Prince Louis straightened his back and glanced at Zinnia.

“Lady Zinnia, I’ve already let you know my feelings. I hope you think about it for a while before replying to me. I’ll be sincerely waiting for your answer.”

He gave her the final bow and then left the room.

Zinnia looked at the other two. “Did you just see that? This is unbelievable!”

Her voice carried astonishment.

“Is this the first time a man proposed to you, Zinnia?” Veronica asked, showing her curiosity.

Zinnia sat on the couch and then smirked at her.

“Oh honey, do you think I lack man? Just look at me and see if a man won’t be provoked by seeing me.”

Her confidence level was out of control. Anyone who heard her would understand how much pride she had in her alluring body.

Ovior: “…”

“True,” Veronica couldn’t help but agree. “So then, why are you acting that you cannot believe he proposed to you?”

“How could I?” Zinnia began to explain, “Just look at the mess he created. We dragged him here to interrogate him but he confessed to me and even stated that he wanted to marry me.

“Is the Crown Prince that airheaded? If so, then we have to worry about the future of our land.”

“Or maybe he just wanted to distract us,” Veronica mumbled.

She faced Ovior and asked, “Ovior, there is no way a man could just roam around in disguise in front of your nose and you won’t notice it. Did you know that he was a spy?”

“Arthur and I permitted him to stay and work here under His Majesty the King’s request,” Ovior replied.

.....

He added, “We had no idea that he was selling the information. I thought he was on our side. Thus, I never investigated him.”

“That’s so unlike you, Ovior. I can’t believe you let your guard down,” Zinnia remarked.

“Well, it can’t be helped. Ovior isn’t a superhero. My husband is too unskilled to manage his household. Ovior was too busy because of Arthur’s inability.”

Veronica shoved all blame on Arthur’s shoulders.

“Your generosity is remarkable,” Ovior flatly commented. “I thank you for that.”

“You are most welcome,” Veronica smiled. “I’ll go and take some rest. See you two later.”

“Sure…” Zinnia said.

After Veronica left, she looked at Ovior. “Did you really not notice that the Crown Prince was here to spy? I don’t think things are that simple.”

“I don’t know what you mean, Zinnia,” Ovior responded.

“Don’t play dumb with me,” Zinnia snapped at him. “I’m not as single-minded as Veronica. You let the Crown Prince spy on the tower, didn’t you?

“Since Arthur wasn’t around, you could do anything you wanted. You helped him with disguise, didn’t you?”

———-

Veronica sneaked into Arthur’s office only to find his chair empty.

“Huh? Where did he go?” murmuring to herself, she looked around the room.

Arthur’s office was spacious. One couldn’t see everything with a single glance. There were just too many pillars and bookshelves covering one’s sight.

Veronica walked around, peeking here and there. Suddenly, something caught her eyes.

She halted and looked at the left bookshelf. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

Although it was a bookshelf, Arthur placed many items there. Most of them were too unfamiliar to Veronica.

Even so, there was one thing she found familiar.

It was a photo frame.

In the photo, there were three people. Arthur, Ovior and some other girl.

“Who is she?”
