*Knock Knock*

Thank you very much, sister." Hope smiled happily and kissed Lotus on the cheek. Exasperated, Lotus pushed her outside. "So corny, hurry up and go! Stop bothering me!" Saying that, she closed the door.

On the other side of the door, Hope's expression turned complicated and she sighed.

Actually, the method used to train personal servants was truly effective. It was so effective that, despite Hope having slept with Claus once before, she still hesitated to tell him the truth.

Hope truly did not want to betray the empress, but when she thought about Claus perishing under her plots, her heart would constrict painfully.

Hope felt really conflicted. Thus, after hesitating for a while, she finally decided to visit Daisy first and think about everything else after that.

Unexpectedly, when she reached Daisy's room she learned that Daisy had not returned to her room.

It did not take Hope long to figure where Daisy was. After all, there was only one place in the entire palace where Daisy could be at this hour beside her bedroom.

However, Hope wanted to avoid that place if it was possible.

After struggling for another few seconds, Hope finally took a deep breath and made up her mind.

With big steps, she walked towards the prince's room.

*Knock Knock* Hope knocked twice on the prince's room softly, as though fearing that someone answered. She decided that if nobody answered after five seconds, she would go back.

But it seemed as though fate wanted to bring her here tonight.

Almost immediately after she knocked on the door, someone opened it.

"Sister Hope?" Daisy tilted her head curiously and invited her inside.

Hope hesitated slightly before entering. She then looked around nervously before sighing in relief when she realized that Claus was not in.

Seeing that, Daisy giggled mischievously and teased her. "The youngest princess kidnapped his highness for today, so I'm not sure if he will sleep here tonight. How unfortunate, I'm sure you wanted to see him badly."

"I-I don't!" Hope denied her words instantly, although her face had turned red. "I-I came cause I wanted to talk to you."
