I shouldn’t have cried that much yesterday…

"I found out something strange from Arjan today. I heard that the county is currently facing a huge fine and he has been working hard on it—all because of you."

"Really? I guess the paperwork must have passed already."

"Really, you were the one who did that?"

He gave a devious smile at her words.

"I didn't actually do it—to be exact. I just slipped some rumors out and the public officials, who have been wanting to see results, began to demand their own turn."

"Raven, really…"

She immediately sent a ridiculous look at his words. To be honest, it wasn't because she disliked it. Nevertheless, no one would actually stop abruptly just like that, especially her father, Count Alaric.

"I'm quite embarrassed to say this, but my father is a wicked man. Therefore, he'll try his level best to get even with you."

"So?"

Raven responded as if he was asking what seemed to be the problem.
