----------------------------------------------------

"Goodnight, Myron. I'll see you tomorrow." Sir Tristan Kenji who had just accompanied his younger cousin to his room said before parting with Myron. The white haired boy waved before pulling down the door handle and stepping inside where he surprisingly found Loraine awake and seated on their bed.

"Sorry, did I wake you?" The purple eyed young man asked, soon closing the door behind himself before approaching his girlfriend. The blonde shook her head and kicked her feet a little as she watched Myron change out of his regular clothes. "No, I wasn't sleeping. I was waiting for you."

"You were?" The white haired boy questioned somewhat carefully. Something didn't seem quite right. Perhaps Loraine was in a bad mood? That was to be expected after getting into quite the heated argument with Camilla earlier today. He wasn't there when it happened, but he heard from you and the others. He was given an answer before the male could even ask his girlfriend why she had been waiting for him: "I wanted to talk about something."

"Actually, I want to apologize before saying anything else." The rich girl mumbled, turning her body in Myron's direction. The older had taken a seat on the edge of the bed next to her. "I'm sorry for always causing you trouble and tying you down all the time."

He wasn't completely sure, but Myron had a rough idea of where this conversation was heading. He wanted to protest, saying that it wasn't true, but before he could say anything, Loraine raised her right hand, pointing her index finger to the ceiling as if she was requesting for him to stay quiet just a little longer. "Let me finish."

"I've noticed that things between us aren't like they used to... and I think it's time we both faced reality and ended this." The blonde female said, managing quite well without stuttering or showing too much of her bottled up emotions. Both of them knew she was referring to their romantic relationship. If one could still even call it that.

Myron was very surprised to hear those words, especially since he thought they would never come from Loraine's mouth. She must have noticed how he started feeling different towards you, and he couldn't help but feel bad for what he was hiding or trying to hide. Horrible that he hadn't ended this when he should have. "Loraine, I-..."

"But before that, I would like you to help me with something." The blue eyed girl once again cut the male off, trying hard not to lose her composure now. Myron cast what he wanted to say aside and listened carefully to the younger's request.

"Catherine Fletcher. Something about that woman just isn't right." Loraine said bluntly, frowning at the mere thought of that red-head. "Not only that, but the timing of queen Rin's bad health too. I might be the only one who thinks that, but there's definitely something wrong here."

"I would like you to help me get to the bottom of this." The blonde never once broke eye contact with the older, and only because the topic was serious it didn't pain her to look at him for that long. Myron couldn't completely agree, but he certainly thought something suspicious was going on with Grona's royal advisor and the incident with the drugged drinks. "So? Are you in?"

"Sure, but what can we do?" The white haired guard replied, his answer leading to another question. Loraine wasn't especially gifted with incredible skills like Fotula or Kai for example, but if there was something she was good at, it was using her head. "Remember when we first got here and had our first discussion with Luntian? The maid that drugged the others' drinks?"

"Luntian said that they'd conduct a questioning session, but we were never told anything after that. That maid has to be here somewhere, and if we can find her, we might find more answers as well." The blonde explained. The plan sounded quite easy, but Myron couldn't figure out something: "Hold on, what does that maid have to do with the royal advisor?"
