To get something for nothing

"Dragon... Shadow? What does 'Dragon Shadow' refer to, Lord Felix?" 

Vanessa, well-trained, was indeed very flustered at the moment. However, she wouldn't be easily tricked into revealing any information.

Yes, although Vanessa was quite certain in her heart, she still hadn't confirmed if "Lord Felix" was indeed the king's illegitimate child. 

In response to Vanessa's counter-question, Felix's face wore a composed smile. His piercing gaze seemed to peer into Vanessa's heart.

"Miss Vanessa, I'm referring to your most coveted 'Dragon Shadow'." 

"Lord Felix, you really do have a sense of humor. I don't even know what 'Dragon Shadow' is. How could I possibly covet it?" 

Vanessa continued to play dumb. Her organization, "Hidden Dragon," had a strict confidentiality requirement. Unless she could confirm that the other party was indeed Darmodar Das III's illegitimate child, she couldn't let any outsider know about the organization's affairs.
