300 Words
The duchess took one last reluctant glance around the luxurious room before finally leaving.
"Ha... ha... ha... ha... ha..."
Her laughter echoed through the room until tears gathered at the corners of her eyes.
"Hey, Dorian, did you see that?" she suddenly called out toward a shadowed corner of the room.
A figure hidden within the darkness stepped forward.
"DG, take it easy. I think you're just enjoying this a little too much," Dorian said, kneeling respectfully.
"Now, now, don't be such a fun sponge," Lilac replied with a laugh.
"Who doesn't enjoy the thrill of taking revenge?" she continued, her eyes gleaming with amusement.
"We have more important matters to discuss," Dorian reminded her.
His expression turned serious.
"Your family brought you back here so you could be a replacement."
"A replacement for what?" Lilac asked.
"I don't know yet. Our sources are still investigating ," he answered .
"The spy we sent reported that he overheard the duchess discussing you with her daughter . They mentioned that you were a replacement for something, but before he could gather more information , he nearly got discovered ."
" Dorian , what level did you send ? " Lilac asked.
" Level two usually handles this type of task, my lord . Is there a problem ?" he asked cautiously.
Gathering information was typically considered a low-level task , one handled by the lower ranks of the organization . However , judging from Lilac's reaction and knowing her well ,she was being unusually cautious when it came to this family.
" Nothing . You are dismissed . "
Lilac waved her hand lazily, reclining on the bed.
She already had a general idea of what this wretched family was planning .
This is going to be an interesting show .
