I couldn’t exactly run away now that she’d seen me. A minute later, I was sitting restlessly in a chair in Letitia’s office.

“Lots of milk and sugar, is that right?” she asked me.

“You don’t have to do that. I can get it myself.”

“Don’t worry. I enjoy making coffee.”

She was as nice as ever as she handed me a cup. In contrast, I was a little on edge.

She could’ve put something in my drink...

It was a possibility—if Letitia was a bad person. I didn’t think she was. I didn’t want to believe that she was. Even so, I couldn’t help but worry.

Come on, don’t be stupid!

I shook my head. I’d always been watching Letitia, wanting to become just like her. I knew I could trust her. I raised the cup to my lips.

Letitia smiled softly. “Now, what brings you here? You don’t quite seem like yourself today.”

“Well, actually, I was just talking to somebody from the Second Unit, and they mentioned you.”

“About me?”

“They said you might be hiding some kind of secret. I thought I could help you, if you need some support.”

I didn’t have anywhere near Letitia’s level of experience or tactical acumen. That meant my only option was to be straightforward about my feelings. I was sure she would understand.

“Can you tell me your secret?” I asked. “I want to help you.”

Letitia said nothing. We sat in silence for a moment, surrounded by the aroma of coffee mingling with an elegant scent of citrus.

“All right. I’ll tell you,” she said in the end. “The truth is, I’ve been under pressure from my father about finding a suitable marriage partner.”

“Huh?”

“The person I am interested in is too focused on work to care about getting married. Unfortunately, my father is worried about what people might say if his daughter is single despite being of marriageable age.”

“Th-That sounds tough...”

“The person you spoke to probably heard about it from a cousin of mine in the Second Unit. Not so long ago, my father was saying, ‘Just pick some useless fool,’ but then he changed his tune and told me, ‘No, you can’t marry just anyone!’”

“He must be so stressed out over this.”

“To be honest, I’m quite worried. Then again, I’m sure everyone my age feels this way.”

I’d never seen this side of Letitia before. She always seemed so cool and flawless that I couldn’t imagine her having relationship troubles like this.

But the difference between her exterior and her true self makes her even cooler! I love it!

In the end, I was so impressed that it just made me even more certain that Letitia could be trusted.

She isn’t hiding anything. Somebody else must have stolen the intelligence from the Second Unit. But that opens up another question. Seamus said there were two culprits, so if we assume that Luke is one of them, who in the world could the other person be?

Together with the lingering taste of coffee, that question stuck with me.
