Chapter 75: Are You Certain He Isn't Already On The Path To The Gallows?

Cian shifted his attention away from the woman he had been observing, refocusing on Erica. He let out a sigh.

"So, what do we do about Alea finding out?" he asked.

Erica shrugged nonchalantly. "There's not much we can do at this point, is there? We'll just have to accept it and move forward."

Her smile was radiant, almost blinding in its brightness. Cian found himself momentarily taken aback, considering shielding his face from the brilliance.

'Unexpected as it may be for Alea to stumble upon us, it doesn't significantly alter my plans,' Cian mused. 'Erica is a valuable pawn in my scheme. With careful cultivation, she has the potential to blossom into a powerful asset. While Alea possesses her own qualities, Erica is better suited to play the role I have in mind.'

With a self-satisfied smirk, Cian discreetly adjusted himself, tucking his member back into his pants. He affectionately patted Erica on the head.

"I must say, you've done an excellent job. It was quite pleasurable."
