Only one girl knew my father’s whereabouts, and it was his personal retainer, Mint.

Locating her had been a tough job. At long last, I spotted her on the top floor of the clock tower, the tallest building in our territory. She was sitting on the windowsill and gazing down—a position fitting for a sniper. It seemed that she had looked for a place with an overlooking view of the entire campus.

“May I help you, Young Master?”

“I want to talk to Father. Where is he?”

“The duke is resting, I am afraid.”

“I’m his son.”

“The walls have ears. I’m going to keep his location a secret.”

I resisted the urge to sigh. “You’re as stubborn as a mule. Anyway, I finally figured out why you came to Kirsch as my potential retainer. He wanted you to scout out the terrain of Kirsch before the battle, correct?”

“I knew you would realize eventually. Yes, that’s right. Understanding the geography of the battlefield is one of the most important things in warfare, after all.”

That’s why she came to Kirsch earlier and wandered around so much. She asked Charlotte about the structure of the campus and confirmed it with her own eyes. She was investigating the areas that would give her, a sniper, the most advantages.

“If you insist on not answering me, I could force it out of you, you know.”

“Oh? Do you want to fight me? Young Master, are you looking down on me?”

Mint was a tough nut to crack. She wasn’t swayed at all. “In that case, can you tell me this, at least? What has Father said about the current situation?”

“According to him, that attack was nothing but a small test. They only wanted to drive the students away.”

“Sounds about right. And that’s why I’m suspecting he planned this out with the opposing faction.”

Mint’s reply was a noncommittal silence.

It felt as if we were dancing to Rust’s tune. I couldn’t read anything from Mint’s expression—she was indeed capable as my father’s retainer. Like him, a man of many secrets, she was a good con artist. No wonder she had fooled Sansa for so long.

I continued, “We aren’t going to get anywhere with this conversation. I’ll go ask him directly.”

“I just told you that I won’t disclose his whereabouts to you.”

“That’s fine. I don’t have to ask you anymore.”

After all, my ears had long picked up the sound of faint footsteps heading in our direction.

Mint’s eyes widened. “Your Grace! Why are you here?!”

“Mint. Allow us some privacy. I have not been in such a good mood for a long time.” The man who appeared held a small liquor bottle and a familiar sword in his hands. His eyes shifted to meet mine. “In exchange for Prisma, I was considering answering a few of your questions.”
