章節 273: Rumored Wealth

"I am sorry for how I reacted, Your Highness," Eve said, her head down. "It is just that I have heard stories about that woman and knew she is evil. Rumor has it—"

"Rumors?" Prince Ninth raised an eyebrow, then snorted in disgust. "Humans and their tendency to believe whatever they hear on the streets. Are you that naive?"

"Your Highness..." Maximilian's words carried a hint of warning as he growled.

"I apologize. I simply cannot understand how humans believe rumors without seeing the facts. How can one judge based on something they have not seen?" Prince Ninth stared at the embarrassed Eve. "But, I will overlook your words this time." He turned to Max and added, "Tell me about Evelynn Rosetta."

"She is a formidable opponent, although I have never met her. It might be better if you talk to her subordinates or those who dislike her. After all, we tend to notice flaws more in those we dislike." Max calmly said.
