"What has the White Rose been up to these days?"
A low voice slowly emanated from a corner untouched by sunlight.
The mist rising from the tea made the owner of the voice seem to vanish into the shadows.
"On the surface, she is at the Imperial Palace every day, but in reality, she has been going out under the guise of Count Tyrone."
"Oh? What has she been doing?" The voice in the shadows elevated slightly, seemingly piqued with interest.
The reporter diligently continued the report.
"She mingles with the essay champion Roland daily and even intends to appoint him as the Captain of the Imperial Knight Order."
The person in the shadow slowly sat up, asking gravely, "And then?"
"Afterward, they went to the Imperial Knight Order's headquarters and spent an afternoon telling stories to the children."
The person in the shadow was stunned.
What kind of move was this?
