Another two weeks passed in what felt like the blink of an eye. The intelligence work was proceeding without a hitch.

“Your steering is so wasteful. Can’t you drive any gentler?!”

“Shaddap! If you keep babbling like that, you’re gonna bite your tongue!”

Uwe and Sybilla bickered at each other like animals as they pulled up to the mansion.

The exchange made them look less like a master and his maid and more like a stubborn grandfather and his willful granddaughter, but Uwe cared little for formality. As far as he was concerned, it was just another form of waste.

“By the way, who was that guy who came and talked to you today?” Sybilla asked. “He was lookin’ at me all funny.”

“An old friend of mine. Nobody you need to be worried about.”

“If you say so…”

“Oh, don’t get worked up over every little thing. He was probably just surprised to see that my driver was so young.”

“Rude. I’ve got a driver’s license as good as anyone’s… …It’s homemade, but still.”

“Hmm? Sorry, what was that last part?”

Thanks to being his driver, Sybilla was in an excellent position to look into Uwe’s acquaintances. Furthermore, the fact that he couldn’t go anywhere without her meant that they always had an eye on him, which came as a great comfort.

As Uwe’s attitude gradually softened, the girls were able to do their spy work with greater and greater ease.

Once they’d conducted background checks on all the other residents, they began looking into each of the mansion’s frequent visitors. They had the bathroom and drawing room bugged, and depending on what they heard, they sometimes stuck transmitters on the guests and had Sara tail them after they left the mansion.

Things couldn’t have been going smoother.

As Lily got things ready for dinner, Sybilla quietly whispered to her, “It’s weird, huh. Another day done, and we still haven’t found anyone suspicious.”

“Nothing out of the ordinary with the mansion, either. Can’t say I hate how peaceful things are, though,” Lily replied in a carefree tone.

“No arguments there.”

Back in the beginning, Sybilla had been livid about being forced to work as a maid, but nowadays, she found it fulfilling. Uwe was an honest, upstanding politician trying to make the country a better place, and while his methods may have been forceful at times, she knew he was doing it all for the children.

The longer she stayed undercover there, the more she’d get to help him with his work.

She almost hoped the assassin wouldn’t come at all.

That way, things could stay peaceful.

However, she knew full well that wasn’t how the world worked.

A scream rang out.

It came from the courtyard. A woman. Not Grete. Older. Olivia?

Sybilla and Lily took off at a run.

As they did, they heard footsteps thundering from upstairs.

“OLIVIAAAAA! What happened?!”

The footsteps were Uwe’s. He rushed down as well, carrying his prized rifle and wearing his pajamas.

Sybilla and Lily would have preferred that he not do anything rash, but at least this meant they had eyes on the man they were charged with protecting.
