Inside the quarters, the stranger made his way to a study illuminated by soft golden light. A beautiful woman sat at a grand desk. Her long, silky white hair flowed like a cascade, curling slightly at the ends with a bluish sheen. Her porcelain skin seemed to glow in the dim light, and her piercing blue eyes held an icy sharpness that could freeze anyone in their tracks. Her features were delicate yet regal, with a quiet elegance that commanded respect.

She glanced up, her cold gaze locking onto the man.

"Tell me, Salus," she said, her voice calm but edged with authority. "What did you find?"

Salus stepped forward, bowing deeply. "Your Grace, Princess Yvonne." His movements were precise, practiced, and filled with respect. "There seems to be something suspicious. He said he found Mareti while investigating a case of pregnant women being sold in the black market."
