บท 284: Scheming together

25th August 1574

After all, what if her plan required Constanty and the one, old man that she deemed to be innocent to remain oblivious to what was happening? Since I already gave her the free rein over this matter, I should at least stop myself from butting in the middle.

And from what Elia said as soon as we were sure that no one could eavesdrop on our discussion, this decision of mine was the best out of all I could take!
