Suzette, who has returned to the capital to collect information, contacted once more.
Shes been doing her best to help us in the midst of her work as a parliant official.
With the help of Mios father, whos also the ambassador, she seems to have obtained so useful information.
We had to wait for her with both anticipation and anxiety, with the expectation that we would get the details after we t her.
Useful information is a powerful weapon, but is also a dangerous one.
Thats why I am worried about her safety.
On the appointed day, Irene, the city mayor, and I went outside to greet Suzette.
Soon after, the carriage in which Suzette was riding appeared safely in front of the house.
Irene and I rushed out to greet her.
Suzette quickly got out of the sa, slightly smaller carriage as before.
Welco back, Miss Suzette. Im glad to see youre safe.
Thank you for the good work. Please, co inside.
Y-yeah, thank you. Its really good to be back.
Mr. Suzette replied, albeit a little shyly, to the two of us who rushed out to welco her.
Then lets go inside. Weve already prepared so tea for you.
And so, all the three of us walked inside the mansion.
Soon as we arrived in Irenes office, the maid has already made the tea for us.
After waiting for her to leave the room, Irene imdiately cuts out to the chase.
Again, let get to the point. What kind of information did you co with this ti?
At Irenes serious eyes, Suzette nodded her head affirmatively.
This. It seems that the head minister who is promoting discrimination in appearance has filed a divorce with his wife. That wife..as you are expecting, is not very good looking.
I see
Irene could only mutter. The person herself has been persecuted for her looks, leading to her building the city as a place for won like her to go. I guess she has her own thoughts on the matter.
Even I, who wasnt actually discriminated against, think its a terrible thing.
Fortunately, the masses are still having a hard ti to accept it as a valid reason for a divorce, even with all the discrimination being widespread. However, if this continues, it will just beco a matter of ti.
I felt that Irene-sans expression was filled with exasperation and more than that, sadness.
Even Suzette, who is being questioned, is having a bitter expression on her face.
She is also soone who has been discriminated against because of her appearance, but has managed to win her current position in the midst of it all. If this continues, her position will be removed from her, just because she is ugly.
Well, they married and broke up this easily, but it couldnt also be denied that the woman must have used her family assets and power to be with him.

In the end, we still dont know what they are up to. However, this is a good chance for us to get inside the crack made by those two.
I just hope theres sothing in there, like a secret that could shake up the ministers and the leading faction.
If theres a secret we can obtain, we still dont know if the secret is worth it, and if this goes poorly, it might set us a trap without us knowing instead. Were still practically blind at this point. Im sorry.
No, its alright. I know its harder for you to move now, that their faction is going strong.
Despite Irene trying to cheer her mood, anxiety could still be seen in their faces.
Nonetheless, I dont think Ill ever get close to the minister.
Yes, that would be hard. Right after parting with his wife, he might have already had a new woman on his handswait.
The minister is not the only one who broke up with his wife.
Besides, she also doesnt have an official position in the country, which made her worth less.
Tomo?
Noticing my muttering, Irene called out to . I gave a small nod, then looked at them straight.
You see
What is it?
I raised my voice, and Irene asked back.
The woman he had broken up with, what is she doing now?
The womanAnette, is said to be living in the mansion the minister gave her as a substitute for consolation money. However, since the rumors were made to focus around the minister, no one is interested in her.
As I suspected.
It ans the woman is not under tight security.
Did you see sothing in her?
Suzette asked as she cutely tilt her head in puzzlent.
No, its just a hunch, but this Annette might know sothing.
And?
Suzette urged to continue.
Like what the upper echelon is doing, or, for that matter, the ministers own secrets.
Certainly, she was a family once, so there maybe so instances where they let their guard down with each other.
Irene also supported .
Plus, shes like us, soone whos been discriminated against because of her looks, so maybe she can help us.
Lets go et Mrs. Anette.
Shes in the central though. And my lackeys cant move about too openly, or well get compromised.
Then, Ill go.
Tomo?
I have to do it sooner or later anyway.
To who agreed, Irene gave an anxious look.
But, going to the center is sothing I cant really agree. Youll never know whats out there.
For Irene, who has been discriminated against because of her appearance, the center of the country probably doesnt have a good image for her. However, thats even more of a reason I think I should go.
Havent you forgotten, Irene? I have the rarest black eyes and black hair. Annette might take an interest on as well.
Tomo
Irene muttered. Then, after a mont, she looked straight to my eyes and nodded.
Thats rightEven until now, things have turned around thanks to your influence.
Irene.
I steeled myself for the important role I had been entrusted with.
At all costs, Im going to see Annette and get so information from her.
Well, now that Tomoaki is here, it will be much, much easier to infiltrate. Of course, youll have to learn on how to do it first.
Ill be in your care.
I bowed my head with emphasis, showing my strong determination alongside it.
Ah, yeah
I guess I applied too much montum, that even Suzette had trouble on how to respond to it.
W-well, now that has been decided, lets now proceed on how well infiltrate the mansion.
After a brief discussion, we decided to take a break.
Alright, this would be enough. lets call it a day from here.
Irene then turned her eyes on Suzette.
You must be tired; Ill prepare the bath for you so you can relax.
Yeah, that will be much help.
Soon as the bath is ready, the maids called for us, and we adjourned the eting from there.
I was about to go back to my room, but suddenly, I got concerned about Irenes condition.
