ing in the past, present or future that would make him help a Princess of Silvanus.

‘She must think all Irugoians will move as she wishes because all the court ladies and warriors greet her happily.’

He had to give this thumb princess a clear reminder of reality.

“Put this firmly in that tiny head.
The reason I came here to see the Princess today is…”

Mukali paused in the middle of his sentence.

Something was stopping him.
Although he didn’t know what that thing was.

Somehow, it didn’t feel wise to get angry at Aristine here.
This was a very rare feeling for someone with a fiery personality like him.

“You came here to see me because?”

When Aristine pressed on, he opened his mouth again.

This time as well, he was ready to confidently wake her to reality but the feeling he had earlier became stronger.

For someone like him who relied on his senses to preserve his life in battle, it was hard to ignore such a feeling.

“Um…”

Mukali frowned, frustrated because he didn’t know why he was feeling like this.

Just as he was agonizing about it, a thought suddenly came to his mind, ‘ah!’ and his face brightened.

‘Yes, it’s better to act like I want to help instead of getting angry, then I can catch her red-handed!’

That was a perfect idea.

He must have been getting that feeling because of this.
Sure enough, his intuition was always reliable.

“As you said, Princess, I came here to help you investigate that man.”

I knew it, Aristine nodded her head.

The fact that she was investigating someone was no secret in itself.
Even if she wanted to keep it a secret, she couldn’t.

For some reason, Tarkan did not want to cooperate, so she had to use the court ladies in the palace to search.
It was common for one’s master or mistress to ask about people they had seen in a banquet, so the court ladies didn’t really care.

Most of all, because Aristine had asked in front of Tarkan, it was no different from Tarkan turning a blind eye.
No one was able to do anything without Tarkan’s permission.

Since that was the situation, she didn’t care that Mukali knew about her investigation.

‘But no one knows why I’m paying attention to this or why I’m investigating!’

And she wanted to keep it that way, if possible.

Frankly, it was obvious why Mukali, a subordinate of Tarkan, suddenly came to find her and offer his help.

‘Seriously, Tarkan…after acting all stubborn and uninterested, he must be feeling sorry now.’

Tarkan must have ordered it, what other reason could there be?

‘Gosh, he’s just so shy.’

Of course, since she was getting help, she might need to give Mukali some information.
And since Tarkan sent him, the information would also enter Tarkan’s ears.

‘I can put up with that much.
Besides, Tarkan and I are partners and I’m glad I can get some help anyway.’

With that thought in mind, Aristine turned to thank Mukali.
Even though he came here because he was ordered to, he was still lending a helping hand just when she needed it, so she was grateful.

“Thank you.
I was already wondering what to do because my range of movement is still somewhat limited.”

“Is that so.”

“After all, I can’t leave the maids and go out of the palace alone to meet him.
Your help is much appreciated.”

At those words, Mukali’s expression hardened.

‘Is she really going to ask me to help her meet that man secretly?’

Certainly, he said he was going to help so that he could catch her red-handed but for some reason, Mukali was very shocked.

Or maybe instead of shock, he should call it delight that he was going to bust a secret meeting soon.

Mukali lowered his head.

‘As expected, Dionna was right.’

For some reason, his mood sank a little.
