I couldn’t help but realize it the moment he looked at me with that taunting look on his face.

‘That’s annoying…’

I wasn’t sure if it was because he was the same as me, but the moment I saw his face, frustration filled me because I never imagined that I would fall for such a simple trap.

‘He knew about Juliena...’

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that he used Juliena because he knew that she would move on her own whenever I was in danger. Even though one of his men died, compared to what was going to happen, it was nothing, no, it was difficult to tell whether that man really was one of his men or not. I wasn’t sure if he had planned this all along or if he planned it the moment we met, but I couldn’t help but acknowledge the fact that I fell for his trap. However, it wasn’t over yet. It was ridiculous how I fell for his trap, but even Kasugano Yuno could confirm that it happened all of a sudden and I was sure that it would help if I explained Juliena’s skills to the investigators.

‘I guess I have no choice but to explain Juliena’s skills...’

It was a bit frustrating that I had to do that, but I was willing to do a bad trade as long as I could get back at him. Of course, I knew that this wasn’t going to end here. If he had already made connections with the higher-ups of the Holy Empire, then there was the possibility there...
