"I can only scam my mentor alone."
"But you teaming up with others to trick the commander? That's next level, Your Highness—you really know how to play the game!"
Once Justin figured it out, he quickly caught up.
"Your Highness!"
Just as Velen and Justin were about to walk out of the fortress, Senator Ethan's anxious voice came from behind.
"Senator Ethan?"
"What's the matter?"
Seeing Ethan's worried expression, Velen asked curiously.
"Your Highness, I'm being watched!"
Ethan glanced around sneakily and lowered his voice with unease.
???
A flood of question marks filled Velen's mind.
What the hell do you mean you're being watched??
"You're not running a fever, are you, Senator Ethan?"
"It's true, Your Highness! Please, you have to believe me!"
Ethan looked deadly serious.
"And this person is seriously messed up!"
"They watch me during the day, and even when I'm asleep at night!"
"Especially at night—it's intense!"
"I'm going insane!"
Pfft!
