Bab 193: Bad News

"Your Highness… please…" The nobleman smirked annoyingly at the crown prince. He acted like he was keeping a secret that the prince wished to hide.

Nicholas glanced over his shoulder and narrowed his eyes at the nobleman. He felt his heart pound uneasily. He didn't want to say anything but how did this nobleman know?

The only person who knew about his request was…

"Informants talk for a certain price, you know," the nobleman said. "Informants exchange information with fellow informants too. Your Highness, I am just looking out for you and the interest of the royal family. It's not a good image to go after another man's wife."

"What do you want?" Nicholas looked away and felt a wave of shame and embarrassment flood him. If this nobleman knew about this… who else acquired the information that he was looking for Sophia Romanov and her whereabouts?

Already too many for his liking.
