บท 625: I know everything

The corners of Aries's lips curled up into a smirk while enjoying a cup of tea. Putting the teacup on the saucer, Aries lifted her gaze to Veronika across from her. They were currently enjoying a cup of tea on the balcony of the Hyacinth Palace, and Veronika told her of the news she got wind of this morning. 

"That… sounds terrible," Aries mused, causing Veronika's brows to furrow. 

"My lady, you don't have anything to do with the incident in the east district, do you?" Veronika blurted out, a bit surprised at the complex reaction she got from Aries. 

"Are you saying I am that terrible, Veronika?" 

"N — no, of course not." Veronika lowered her eyes whilst shaking her head sideways. "I'm just expecting a different reaction, but I don't think you will do such a thing."

"You think so highly of me, Your Highness." Aries leaned back, waiting for Veronika to raise her eyes at her once again. "I am not that kind."
