[Author's note: Yes, yes. This chapter is still in Simon's perspective... Should I keep mentioning it? Hm...]
I was surprised, but I could not let myself show it. I merely smiled instead, "A brothel? What is she doing at a brothel?"
No wonder it took us so long to find her. We were looking for her in houses or better neighborhoods. I would never think to look for a woman who has only known a life of luxury to be staying in the lower-class neighborhood. However, not only was she living in such a poverty-stricken area, but she was actually staying at a brothel in the red-light district! It was completely…
Surprising.
The man spoke, "Your Highness. What are your orders?"
I nodded at him, "Since we have found her, we will go forward with the plan."
"And the family? Should we return the son as promised?"
I smiled sadistically, "Return the son? Never. We have to get rid of loose ends."
"Yes, your Highness. Should I go do that now?"
