The Only Card

Commander Eloria could feel a strange vibe in the way Second Prince Ivone talked about Hemeri Van Hale. Not to mention that her instincts also told her that she should not trust Ivone Van Hale.

Was it because him being a suspect? She did not think so. Instead, it must be because of the dark aura that the Second Prince possessed. However, unlike his two half-brothers, Ivone Van Hale did not look so much like a mystery and Eloria realized that what Vicus told her was right.

It was understandable that people saw the Second Prince as a lesser threat.

"I'm also curious about one more thing, Commander," Second Prince Ivone said, snapping Eloria out of her thoughts. He flashed the same smile that almost looked like a smirk as he asked, "Do you like my younger brother?"

The question was so out of the blue that it took Eloria a huge effort to not let her emotion be expressed on her face! She could barely maintain her cool as the Second Prince grinned.
