"I… I know something happened to the Marquess, your brother."
As soon as those words rolled out of Lady Ivory's tongue, Aries's entire body froze. She gazed back at the lady blankly.
"I may not know the details, but I'm certain they were the people who did it." Lady Ivory nodded with certainty. "If they could harm the esteemed Marquess Vandran, they would easily silence me. Please, my lady — Your Majesty, help me."
This time, Aries's countenance slowly turned hard, looking at the lady across from her.
Her conversation with Lady Ivory kept replaying in her head, sitting on the same seat in the sitting room even after Lady Ivory left minutes ago.
"Lady Ivory…" Aries slowly gazed down at the notebook on the table. She carefully picked it up, opening it carefully. Aries took her time as she prepared her heart for what she would find out from this little gift from Lady Ivory.
