At dusk, Casper appeared outside the parchment library, holding a bouquet of red wild roses.

Dino's bad mood left me was like a dark cloud in the sky, which did not dissipate for a long time, and I held my breath for a day, but Casper came to the door.

"Is this for me? Thank you! They smell very fragrant, it should be the wild roses on the cliff, only wild roses will be so fragrant, the misty moon roses sold at a high price in the flower shop are new varieties cultivated in the greenhouse, too squeamish, lack of wild vitality! I took the initiative from the start.

"Yes, I picked it for you, only such a delicate flower is worthy of ......"

I interrupted him, "No, Mr. Casper, if you know me better, you'll find that 'wildness' suits me better, and that being delicate is the prerogative of a princess." ”

He laughed wryly, his prepared rhetoric completely useless. I'm not a co-actor, and his elaborate script is like a peasant encountering cavalry, and he is washed away before it is even staged.

"I heard you're reading those old parchments here, and you're not even going back to your dorm - what's going on?"

It must have been Dino who told him, this sluggish fool!

Suddenly my heart moved, and I pointed to the bulky parchment books and said proudly: "It took Zeny three years, and it only took me one day and one night to discover the hidden secrets of the library!" ”

"What's the secret?" Casper's expression changed subtly.

"Would you like to exchange? I tell you what I find, and you exchange everything you know with me. To be fair, I'll start by saying, how? I stared into the other's eyes, trying to create a hint that if Casper didn't accept the offer, there was nothing to talk about, and that he would have to leave with a wild rose and never be seen again.

It worked, and Casper didn't deny my speculation, "Uh, aren't you afraid I'll lie to fool you?" ”

I laughed confidently, "Casper, you're not going to lie to me, are you?" For you, that will be a pain. ”

Casper sighed lowly. I suddenly felt a sense of weakness, and he seemed to really have feelings for me, like a moth thrown into a cobweb, knowing the danger, but still refusing to turn back.

"Priscilla, you're not what I imagined......"

"You imagine me as an innocent and kind princess?" I decided to cut through the mess and shatter his unrealistic illusions, "I am the only daughter of Duke Isaac and the future lord of Bromin, and I have received no less teaching and training than you. ”

After a moment of silence, Casper said with difficulty: "If I agree, it will be a betrayal of Alfred, and I will lose his trust." ”

My temptation paid off, and he did not flatly refuse, and his tone softened.

"Losing his trust is a huge loss for you and your family. Casper, I know that your father, the Marquis of Quint, has placed a bet on Alfred, and if Alfred can defeat his two older brothers and ascend to the throne of the Oxskin Empire, then he will be richly rewarded - though, how likely do you think that is? ”

There was silence in the parchment library, and Casper stood still, looking at me with an incredible gaze.

"It's just an exchange of information, don't take it so seriously, I'll keep my mouth shut, you can stay with Alfred and pretend nothing happened. Casper, you know, sooner or later I'll become the lord of Bromin, and there's nothing wrong with you leaving a way back for the family. Besides, the secret I'm about to tell you is worth the money—don't you want to know what Zeny is tirelessly looking for? ”

Caspar said in a hoarse voice, "No, don't tempt me, I don't know anything." ”

"You know that. Dino has already told me, but I don't trust him, I want to hear it from you! Casper, you're not hiding anything from me, are you? ”

"Dino?"

"Dino Lombart!"

“…… Alfred said Zeny had found a secret dark room in the parchment vault, but he couldn't open it...... "Casper said in a hurry.

"The Chamber of Secrets? I guess you could go into more detail! ”

And just like that, I squeezed everything I wanted to know out of Casper's mouth. My father didn't look away, and I managed to take advantage of his affection for me, which was vile, but extremely effective.

The only thing I regret is that it was only against Casper that I was so handy and invincible.

Why not Dino who fell under my skirt?
