{What do you mean?}
Cassandra asked.
{Well... From what I heard, the crown prince is only around 19. Even if he is a genius, there's almost no chance that he is acting alone. And their plans had already started. Maybe that man from the auction is also acting under his orders. That item must be needed for their plan.}
I explained my theory.
{...That's true.} Cassandra agreed after giving it a thought. {But we can't be certain yet. We don't know almost anything after all. Without more info, we shouldn't make a move.}
Well, I knew something else, but it was best not to mention it.
{By the way, when are you going to leave?} I decided it was time to ask this question.
{...What? Are you trying to shoo me away?} Cassandra glared at me.
{No, I am just worried that you will get caught up in it.} I replied honestly. {Besides, you should return to the Empire, no?}
{...}
Cassandra didn't answer right away.
