"So? What's the news?" the prince asked his Chief Knight

"Your Highness, the woman you ordered me to search to was found dead." Jeremiah, his Chief Knight said. The woman he ordered Jeremiah to search to was found dead, but how? That was the only way to get information from his siblings that sent her to spy him!

"How? Please expound" he said as if it was an order. Jeremiah then nodded and explained.

"This woman called Catherine was found dead under the balcony of her chamber Your Highness, it seems that she fell from the balcony and to call that it was some sort of accident or suicide." Jeremiah said.

"I see, well. We better watch out of whom we trust, keep you eyes and ears sharp. Dismissed" the prince dismissed his Chief Knight and for a few minutes a voice then broke the silence.

"Well, don't accuse me. I was about to interrogate her when she committed suicide. But that doesn't mean that I didn't get any information." He turned around and saw a woman without wearing her hood that hides her face.

The prince smiled and then shook his head.

"Well? Explain what information you've got there." he said.

She sat on his desk and crossed her legs. 

"She was a spy sent by your elder sister, Grace Greyscale. Here..." she gave the letter to the prince.

While the prince was reading the letter, she kept on explaining.

"... As you can see, everytime she'll write to update about you and the situation here in Hekate Province. And for facts, the more information she will get and report to her, the more reward she will get like gold bars or should I say gold royals to be exact." she explained and the prince just stared at him. 

He's calm as usual.

"A traitor eh? You've done a very good job. I don't know how can I pay you back with this kind of information." he said as he stood up and went to the balcony to get some fresh air.

"It's fine, after all, I was just helping the one who saved my kind from being hanged from the gallows. But can I ask one favor?" the woman stood up and followed the prince to the balcony. 

"What is it?" the prince asked.

"Can I sleep here? In your chamber? I feel like hell if I'll keep on using invisibility. It drains my strength whenever I use it too much. Just like now, I feel sleepy." she said. The prince just chuckled and agreed.

"Sure, let's just share bed. Besides, I'm not a molester that while you're still asleep, I'll let my lust go over you. That would be a false statement." the prince said, the woman just giggled and was about to exit the balcony when she was stopped by the prince. 

"I didn't get your name yet." he said with a curious tone. 

"Raven." she introduced as she went inside, taking off her shoes and gently made her body collapsed on the soft and comfortable bed and fell asleep.
