Emergency

After that night, Mo Li volunteered to get more information about the upcoming competition while she stays inside the palace and continued working with King Agostos. Of course, she didn't tell the old man about Mo Li.

Days passed.

As the day of the competition drew nearer, her anxiety also worsened. She did her best to gain more information, but the other part of the palace was heavily guarded. She didn't want anyone to suspect her, either. After all, she was just a new maid. Because of this, she was almost completely reliant on king Agostos for information.

"His highness just gave you permission to serve during the competition. You will serve him." Rudy, King Agostos's shadow guard, said. "If you make a mistake…"

"You will kill me. I know." This wasn't the first time that this man threatened her. From the information that she has so far, she knew Rudy was the son of King Agostos and that maid. Apparently, this was kept as a secret to keep Rudy safe.
