Chapter 68: The Request
Although nothing happened after Ava arrived at the inn, as well as until the next day, she could not get rid of the unrest that was in her heart. That is, Ava must solve this problem as soon as possible.
The unknown enemy.
Other than Woodrow, he's not looking for anything to do with anyone.
In other words, the core of the problem is not in itself, but from the other side.
The one who was after Ava must have thought she was Eve.
Then another problem arises.
Ava did not know anyone who could potentially harm her captor.
For that reason, he used one of the resources that he obtained a few days ago.
"So, your request in exchange for doing the challenge on the ship yesterday, now you're telling me to hand over the information data on the person I think is you?"
Why is Rai's sentence so complicated? "Yes, I don't want to be thought of as someone I don't know. At least I should know what kind of reputation that person has until his story is famous."
It is true, Rai in their first meeting mistakenly mistook Rina as Eve, the princess of the kingdom of Edodale. Their faces are identical. Even until now, Rai had little suspicion that Rina was just playing tricks on him and she was indeed the popular princess.
But let it be, Rai also did not feel comfortable with continuing to owe a debt of gratitude to the girl in front of him. So after sipping his peach tea, Rai said, "Well, what do you want to know first?"
"Eve Weinhamer's. Second princess of the kingdom of Edodale."
Ava knew that far. Agh, a royal family. Just confuse.
"Daughter Master Eve was also a famous alchemist. The items, potions, and spells he made always sold well, which is why many merchants were willing to die to get the Princess's recipe or design."
"Then, who is Duke Frost?" Ava remembers the name that Rai associated with Eve when the man thought she had amnesia.
A paper fan with a sakura motif covered half of Rai's face, blocking Ava's view to see her delighted expression, "Ah, Ellijah Tristan Frost." Rai subconsciously leaned over, his eyes always sparkling when gossiping like this, "From the rumors circulating. Duke Frost cheated on Princess Eve with the daughter of a Marquess, until she became pregnant! That's why the Princess ran away from the kingdom. But Duke Frost proved his innocence by beheading the woman he said was his mistress. Unfortunately, even now that Princess Eve did not return to the palace immediately, no one knew of its existence."
Ava only smiled faintly as Rai basically told the mutilation story cheerfully. However, there is a part of the story that Ava does not believe, because the Eve he knew always emerged from the subconscious every time he fainted does not look like the type of person who runs away because of heartache about love problems.
Eve is her dopplegangger, claiming that she is Ava's version of this dimension. And if hypothetically this is true, Eve would have cut off the head of the fiancee's usurper with her own hands. Because that's what Ava would do.
But Ava was aware of another issue. Eve's fiancee is a psychopath.
If Duke Frost was willing to make an enemy of a Marquess just to refute the rumors of his affair, then what would he do to Ava, the woman who is identical to his fiancee? Unlike Rai who is only a distant acquaintance, Ava is not sure the logical argument will work on the yandere.
Ava cursed Eve again.
