The streaming platform was shut down, instantly robbing the duo of their enjoynt. Luckily, they had already added each other as friends before it closed, and had been chatting intermittently for almost two years.
They shared a common interest in gossip, which gave them plenty to talk about.
Especially royal gossip.
To avoid drawing too much attention, they chose a secluded drink shop and opted for a private room.
Once they confird there were no surveillance or eavesdropping devices in the room, they finally started to speak freely.
Matthew Shaw spoke first, introducing himself, "I used to be a journalist at a newspaper, focused primarily on royal affairs, so I’m sowhat familiar with so insider information from the past."
As it was a face-to-face eting, Matthew was slightly modest.
Compared to Matthew, Ashley Johnson seed much simpler; he had no special status, but his only advantage was his wealthy background. "I’ve always enjoyed watching the excitent and gossiping, and as I learned more, I started to connect the dots and uncover the big secrets behind them."
Ashley, to put it bluntly, had a keen observational skill, able to deduce a lot of information from just a casually shared photo.
For instance, he was the first to discover that the royal family had sent soone to bring Emma back.
The source of this information was just a casual photo shared by a royal family mber.
eting offline was indeed much more convenient than online chats.
With no reservations, the two began to exchange the information they held.
"If I’m not mistaken, the reason the royal family mobilized all the students from the ch academy might be because the odds of success this ti are very low."
So low that they would risk their reputation to send people to the border.
Matthew agreed, "I also know that among the students this ti, so have received special attention from the royal family, and it’s very likely that one of them will take over the next commander’s position."
Being a forr newspaper journalist, he knew more insider information.
Ashley stroked his chin, deep in thought, imagining himself as a detective from the past, the kind who puffed on a pipe.
But he raised a question, "The royal family has always valued Wayne Lane, and the king even planned to have the princess marry him. Why are they now so intent on replacing him?"
Wayne Lane’s strength had always firmly positioned him at the peak of the empire, with almost no one questioning his abilities.
But with this recent developnt...
Matthew took a sip of water to moisten his throat before continuing, "Have you forgotten my online nickna?"
Ashley furrowed his brows, then squinted, and finally exclaid in realization.
"Because Wayne Lane is injured!"
Matthew smiled and waved his finger mysteriously, "Not exactly. If you knew a bit about the previous commander’s situation, you would see through the mystery."
Everything about Hannah was confidential, including her na.
Even though she was revered almost as a deity a century ago, people only referred to her as ’the commander.’
Very few people knew her real na, and those few were also threatened by the royal family never to ntion it.
