Chapter 69@@novelbin@@

"But recently, the amount of magic stones being mined from the other mines has been decreasing."

Leticia's eyes were sincere as she relayed this information, showing no sign of deceit.

I feigned ignorance and asked again.

"…All the mines?"

"To be precise, all except for the Etwar Marquisate's mine."

This matched what Darcy had mentioned to me a few days ago.

When he had asked about the output from the magic stone mines, I had assured him that there was no issue.

He had told me that the output from other mines was declining.

But why was Leticia telling me this now? She was Ryan’s ally.

I couldn’t fathom her motives.

For now, I decided to keep the conversation going.

"It's just a coincidence."

"But that coincidence can be easily turned into a deliberate reason."

"…Is Prince Ryan the one planning this?"

I deliberately brought up Ryan's name, knowing that as his confidante, Leticia wouldn’t easily admit to his wrongdoing.

If she was here as Ryan’s agent, all of this could be part of a scheme to intimidate or pressure me.
