"LADY ROSCENTE, most innocent naive people are the people who have already have formed skewed opinions about the world. Only those who tactfully avoid such discussion are the well-informed people." Isis said, this time in a stern voice.

Mielle paused and thought everything through. This time... Isis knew whatever comes out of her mouth would definitely prove everything she needed to confirm. 

"The Royal family's institution has been around for quite a millennia, it would be... too presumptious for one to... deny of their power and prestige," Mielle finally opened her mouth. "What I mean is, the Royal family is just a label that's been passed down for years," 

"?" Isis gave her a raised eyebrows. Just what does that even mean? Even Isis couldn't comprehend such words. 

"But yes-! The nobility are also very important as they are institutions that balance the power of the country. The Royal family would be nothing without us... they are a symbol of power, but the nobility is the power." Mielle continued spouting with a small laugh. "Ohohoho..."

Does she even know what she said was considered treason? Isis felt like she over-estimated Mielle's mental capabilities and probably reached a dead-end of her investigation.

Regardless, maybe Mielle is pretending to be stupid to keep up the act... 

"Regardless, the Royal family...shouldn't do anything that steps out of their bounds. They need to understand the weight of the nobility and what they ca–" Mielle finally spoke, which got on Isis's nerves at last...

"Exactly-!" Isis said, putting down her tea cup. 

"-!" Mielle squealed slightly. 

"The Royal family... should at least understand where they have gotten their institution from. We, the nobility have supported the Royal family for generations-!" Isis continued to say boldly. "But the Royal family has always oppressed our actions." Isis continued to say as she let out her anger. 

Just talking about the Royal family made her angry. 

The Royal family has recently signed a policy that allowed them to transcend over our duties as nobles. Now they have the ability to manipulate and regulate market values and prices-! Explain to me... isn't this a breach of noble prestige?" Isis said with resentment in her voice. For years, her family has strived to always reach the highest form. 

But now...

Isis looked over to Mielle who seemed to be very calm. 

Isis had finally confirmed that Mielle was... indeed the one who sent out to deal with Viscount Louvre and had been investigating him for a while now. On top of that, Mielle seems to be very neutral about political parties. 

But why..? 

Isis couldn't overlook that, but for now, Mielle was a potential and important ally to the Aristocratic faction. She possesses great intelligence at a young age and perhaps has connections. Her intuition is almost peerless, although it does need some work, but Isis knew that Mielle was very important for what she had in mind. 

Isis looked towards Mielle at last and smiled, "It seems that Lady Roscente doesn't do too bad for sharing her opinions, of course,"
