The Queen Who Shares Love
Chapter 51 Looking for Opportunity

Leticia went to the bar where the information was. As usual, he wore a disguise to avoid being recognized. He was already in the room of the old man who used to give information to him.

"It looks like you've been here a lot" said Old Man.

Leticia sat down immediately. The old man rubbed his chin. He breathed a long breath.

"If you want information about the temple, then I don't have any new information" said the old man who guessed the reason Leticia was here. 

Leticia often asked for information about the temple to make the old man bored. The problem of getting new information about the temple is not easy. Desas desus about the temple using forbidden magic that is very doubtful information. The person who spread it had no supporting evidence and suddenly disappeared. I don't know why the First Empress wanted this information.

"It's not the information I'm looking for, I want to know what Marquis Lodrey is doing" Leticia replied.

The old man nodded. "Marquis Lodrey often transacted with many nobles. He also often donated and came to several orphanages. Then I told you before, Marquis Lodrey also donates in the temple in large numbers."

"Is there nothing strange about the transaction that Marquis Lodrey made?"

"No, he's completely clean. There's no lopsided news hitting Marquis Lodrey." The old man nodded. 

Is Marquis Lodrey really clean? Leticia. He wanted to investigate the business that the Marquis ran. Then, there is no harm in investigating the orphanage that is often visited by Marquis Lodrey. There may be information he can find.

"Then do you know where the orphanage is?" ask Leticia.

"The parlors were mostly located in the territory of the Marquis. The details I don't know."

Feeling that there was no other information she needed, Leticia swiped away a bag of money and placed it on the table. "As usual this is your pay and your money shut up."

He immediately got up from there and returned to the palace. He took one of the magic stones to contact Grand Duke Faust.

He dared to contact Grand Duke Faust because Isabella must still be by his side. Leticia was still a little reluctant to speak alone with Grand Duke Faust. His fear is still not gone, but not as big as it used to be.

The magic stone shines.

"Sorry to disturb you. Are you busy, Grand Duke?" ask Leticia.

"No, what's up, Empress?" Gerald asked back.

"I want you to try investigating Marquis Lodrey," Leticia replied without further ado.

"What is suspicious of Marquis Lodrey, Empress?"

"I still don't know, it's just that as we know that Marquis Lodrey donated to the temple in large numbers like Viscount Gremaroft and Count Blaire. There might be something the Marquis is hiding and this could be a weapon to attack the temple, the Grand Duke," Leticia explained.

"Alright, what do I need to investigate, Empress?"

"The business of Marquis Lodrey and the orphanage frequented by the Marquis in his area of power, the Grand Duke."

"Alright, I'll investigate, Empress."

"Thank you, Grand Duke."

"There's something Isabella, the Empress wants to say." There was a rumbling sound as Gerald's magic stone changed hands on Isabella.

"Empress, today I will train you. You're not busy, are you?" ask Isabella.

"Of course not, Countess." Without even realizing Leticia smiled.

"Is there anything you would like to say to Sir?"

"Nothing."

"Then I'll close it."

The magic stone to communicate with Grand Duke Faust had dimmed. Now Leticia took another magic stone to contact Rose. Actually this is a little risky because Leticia is afraid Braun will know that all this time it turns out Rose is on Leticia's side. However, he did not want to trouble Dale. Although Dale would have been happy to help if Leticia had asked him.

"What's Leticia doing? Do you want to meet me?" ask Rose excitedly.

"So what's up?" ask Rose again.

Leticia told the information she got at the bar to Rose. He asked Rose to investigate the orphanage. Leticia asked him to be careful.

"Well, I'll do it carefully. I won't make Braun suspicious of me" Rose replied.

"Thank you, Rose."

"No need to thank me Leticia."

"Can I call you by your nickname?"

"Of course, Rose." Leticia smiled.

"All right, Leti."

Their communication relationship was cut off. Leticia put the magic stone back in its place. He wrote a letter to come to Lodrey's residence. He'll ask about the orphanage.

Charlotte invites Judith to have tea with her. He had deliberately invited her when Leticia was away. That way he can influence Judith.

"It seems, the First Empress was very busy these few days, Princess," Charlotte said.

"True, this was the result of my mother's abduction. My mother's work piled up, Consort," replied Judith. 

Judith sipped her tea, not seeing Charlotte. Although they were closer, Charlotte found Judith difficult to approach. Especially after the conversation about Judith practicing the sword. He tried to get close to her but Judith still did not open her heart.

Judith had some weaknesses: her mother, her father, and her sister. Charlotte will exploit Judith's weakness.

"I am ready to help the First Empress in case of hardship, Princess," Charlotte said.

"Thank you for the help, Empress," replied Judith briefly.

Feeling Judith's brief response, Charlotte launched the second pass.

"Do you want to meet Louis, Princess?"

Judith's eyes are drawn, Charlotte can see. He laughed in his heart.

"I would like to meet my sister, the Empress," Judith said as she looked at Charlotte.

"Let me drop off, Princess."

Charlotte grins. Judith did not realize it. Judih was busy withholding the pleasure of meeting her sister.

They've reached Louis's room. Charlotte asked Louis' nanny out. He wanted to be in the room with Judith and her son. 

Charlotte invites Judith to approach her son who is in a cot. Judith saw her sister.

Louis' hand flailed through the air. Louis' cuteness makes Judith can't stand holding Louis' tiny finger. He had no idea of Charlotte's view of him at all, as when he first came to Louis's room. Judith felt Louis was very fragile. Princes can be hurt easily and cry often. Judith promised that when she grew up, she would protect her sister.

"You can come here as you please, Princess," Charlotte said with a smile.

Judith turned her eyes from Louis to Charlotte. "Is it okay, Second Empress?"

"Louis must be happy that her brother often comes here to play with her." Charlotte's gaze moved from Judith to her young son.

"Thank you, Empress."

"I'm supposed to thank you for playing with Louis, Princess."

Judith took Louis's little hand. She hopes to have another sister from her mother and father. However, her mother said that she was difficult to conceive again. Although disappointed, Judith still felt happy because she still had another sister even though not from her mother. He hopes to be a good brother to his sister.
