"Hero's wife, you wouldn't want your affair with Luwaka to be exposed, would you?"
Upon hearing Shami's words, Harlan took a cautious step back, showing a disgusted expression on her face.
"What are you trying to do? Threaten me, looking for a conflict?"
"I have no interest in women of your age."
Shami had three main purposes in holding Harlan back.
Firstly, to warn Harlan that both parties hold secrets about each other; if exposed, it is clear that the negative impact will be greater for Harlan.
The second aspect was to gauge Harlan's attitude. Seeing her resolve to keep secrets reassured him greatly.
The last aspect was, of course, intelligence.
"Of course not. Since you are Lina's mentor, I will naturally help keep your secret. But it's not without requirements. I hope you can regularly send me some intelligence regarding the upper echelons of Fess Kingdom."
"A spy?"
Harlan frowned, shaking her head.
