“Brother, was that what I thought it was?” Erick asked.

“Yes.” Elias paced next to Erick along the hallway, thoughts back on the princess he’d just unexpectedly kissed. The moment still felt right; he had no regrets. He wasn’t typically prone to impulsiveness in his latter years, but he couldn’t deny that had been an act borne of pure instinct and want.

Elias glanced at Erick when he felt his brother’s blatant stare. “What?”

Erick stared harder, eyes widening, as if to say, don’t ‘what’ me. What the hell is going on?!

“Tell me what you’ve found. You came looking for me for a reason,” Elias said.

Erick grunted his unhappiness. “Nice sidestep.”

“Something familiar in more of the photos?” Elias asked, stifling his mild amusement. He knew this wasn’t the end of Erick’s attempts to get some answers out of him.

“Yes. I found the same man in two more photos.” Erick gestured to one of the generic parlors off the main hall.

Elias followed his brother through the open doors. They headed straight to a desk with pictures fanned out over the surface and a laptop set up, screen in sleep mode. Erick tapped a few keys and brought up an image of what looked to be a charity event. Elias recognized a logo in the background as he scanned the faces of guests who stood near a podium with glasses of wine in their hands. It did not take him long to spot the dark-haired man. He pointed to him just as Erick did.

“Yes, that’s the same guy. So he’s been to quite a few of these events. Maybe scouting Inari’s security team, getting an idea for their schedules and how they operate,” Erick said, bringing up another photo. This one was of a street parade in Somero—Elias recognized the palace in the distance—with fans lined up behind metal barriers.

Elias pointed to the person of interest, picking him out of the crowd now that he knew what to look for. The man’s dark hair and distinct blue-tinted sunglasses gave him away.

“Here’s an interesting tidbit,” Elias said, looking from the monitor to his brother. “I asked Inari about her alleged relationship with Wolfe Novak. She was definitely involved with him. She broke it off when she heard he’d been cheating on her . . . with a maid.”

Erick’s brows shot upward. “A maid? Is this the same Wolfe Novak who flits between supermodels like a bee pollinating flowers? That Wolfe?”

Elias nodded. He thought Erick was onto the same train of thought he’d been on since Inari mentioned it.

Erick’s expression grew dubious. “There’s no way. This supposed maid would have to be the most beautiful woman on earth for Wolfe to so much as notice her with the company he keeps. Something about that sounds way off.”

“Exactly. Inari also said that Wolfe denied the accusations, but the damage had been done for her. She couldn’t go back. He pursued her for four months after they ended their secret relationship, advances she rejected,” Elias said.

Erick glanced at the computer screen.
