CHAPTER 48 (2). DO YOU MEAN TO BECOME A SPY?

Petronilla spoke in a calm voice as if she had penetrated Patrizia's thoughts.

"I know what you're thinking, Lizzy. When I said I would accept this, I may have nothing to lose if I refuse, but if I accept, at the very least I might have something to gain."

"What does that mean?"

"To borrow your expression, it is the heart of silence. I can manage it. That part is the wife's authority, and the Duke will not disagree with her decision. Anyways, whether it is managed by others, or managed by the mistress, it is similar."

"What, do you mean to become a spy?"

"Did you say you don't know why the Duke of Efreni hates us?"

When Petronilla calmly asked, Patrizia nodded. Petronilla laughed.

"I might be able to find out. If I'm lucky."

"Good. Actually, I do not care."

Patrizia said, slowly holding Petronilla's hand.
