Leo questioned with a surprised look on his face.

"Yes, that is what I am asking, Leo. Where is the paper?"

Lovis narrowed his eyes.

Leo turned around and glanced at Lovis,

"Master Lovis, I really don\'t know, I placed it here. I remember it well. I am sure that I am not mistaken!"

"Oh? Then where is it? Did it fly away on its own?"

Lovis questioned.

"I do not know! I placed it here a few hours ago, how can it just… disappear?"

"Maybe you picked it up?"

Lovis questioned.

"Of course not, why would I do something like this? Master Lovis, you know it, I am not that careless. If I had picked it up, I would know where I placed it.

I am a responsible man."

Seeing his butler\'s reaction, Lovis frowned.

He already knew that the paper wouldn\'t be here, it was obvious, Evane had her own paper, so of course, the paper he had must be missing.

And just like Evane thought, the second person he doubted was his own butler.

That was the reason he asked him to come with him.

He wanted to see his butler\'s reaction.

However, now that he has finally seen it, Lovis found it hard to believe that his butler was the one who betrayed him.

Even after seeing that the paper is missing, his butler didn\'t even realize the fact that he is suspicious of him.

Leo thought that Lovis actually wanted his help to find the paper.

This was not the reaction that a traitor would show.

There were two choices here,

First, Leo was a great actor and knew how to fool him.

Second, Leo was actually innocent.

Both options had an equal likelihood of being true.

Leo has been living with Lovis for a long long time now, for him, fooling Lovis wasn\'t a hard job.

However, Lovis was inclined to believe the second option.

Leo was innocent.

He had many, better opportunities to betray him, but he didn\'t. He has no reason to.

Lovis trusted Leo a little.

Therefore, another question popped into his mind.

If not Leo then who?

Evane had the paper, so she couldn\'t possibly b-

Suddenly, Lovis stopped.

\'That bitch…\'

He cursed again.

He realized.

He was played.

Again.

\'That was the reason she asked me to write on two papers in the first place! She wanted to prove her innocence using the other paper!\'

Lovis realized and his anger boiled.

\'That fucking bitch! Acting all innocent like that, you disgusting whore!\'

However, this time, Lovis didn\'t let anger get the best of him.

He started thinking.

\'But how did she steal the paper from my room? How is that possible?\'

He questioned inwardly and started pondering.

\'Is there a strong Cultivator backing her up? Who is he? Why is he helping her? Is he an assassin?\'

Lovis\'s face turned solemn.

Evane was a far greater threat than he thought she would be.

He didn\'t expect that she would have such a strong expert backing her up.

\'I need to be careful around her\'

Lovis thought inwardly.

He can\'t as aggressively as he did previously.

Evane has changed too much.

She is not that naïve girl he thought she was all those years ago.

He needed more information about her before acting out.

His thoughts were simple,

If she can steal something from his room without alerting anyone, what\'s stopping her from assassinating him?

A shiver ran through his spine the moment he thought about it.

He needed to plan.

He needed to wait.

He needed to collect more information.

And that is what he will do now.

Lovis sat down on his chair and started thinking even more.

…

On the other side, Duke Fulvanius and the First Prince, Raguel Skyfall were sitting inside the room with solemn looks on their faces.

"Are you sure this is true?"

Raguel questioned.

"I checked it myself, it is 100% true."

Fulvanius nodded.

After listening to the conversation between Raguel and Lucas from Raguel, he had the same thought as Amaya, and after some interrogation, he found out about the connection between Duke Merula and Duke Centho.

After that, it wasn\'t hard for him to figure out that Lucas was actually on Lovis\'s side.

Raguel stayed silent for a long time and then, a defeated smile appeared on his face.

"And here I thought that I would become the King."

Seeing his reaction, the Duke frowned,

"Are you giving up?"

Raguel glanced at the Duke and questioned back,

"Does it look like I have any other options?

3 out of 4 Dukes support that bastard, there is no way I would become the next King.

Cultivation, being the strongest of all the princes, none of this mattered, I never had a chance to win this battle from the start."

Raguel replied with a dull look on his face.

"You cannot give up like this."

Duke Fulvanius spoke with a strict look on his face.

"What can I do, the King will definitely choose the Third Brother."

Raguel countered.

"That is only if the King has the chance to choose."

The Duke replied with a cold, merciless look on his face.

Hearing those words, Raguel\'s eyes widened in surprise.

"A-Are we going to do what Consort Amaya suggested?"

He questioned.

"Does it look like we have any other option?"

The Duke questioned back.

Hearing that reply, Raguel\'s shocked look turned into a determined one and he commented.

"I think father has ruled for long enough."

A cold smile appeared on the Duke\'s face.

"Indeed."

The First Prince smiled as well.

He would become the King and no one in this world can stop him.

Not even his own father.

"Alright, I will contact my Brother."

Duke Fulvanius spoke.

"Minister Gibson?"

Raguel questioned.

"Indeed, we would need his help and opinion if we want to organize a successful coup."

Then, the smile on the Duke\'s face widened,

"I am sure he must have a lot of grievances against that Ricardus Bastard."
