Randall had been staring at the papers in his hand for fifteen minutes.

He was in his room at the castle. He sat down at his desk to work as usual, but he could not concentrate at all, he couldn’t comprehend the contents of the documents at all.

It was all because of a man named Gassour; who claimed to be Sophia’s father, and had appeared yesterday.

Randall had long suspected that Sophia was a fake princess, but he did not believe what Gassour had told him yesterday.

He said that he worked as a gatekeeper at the castle, but it was hard to imagine any connection between a live-in maid and a gatekeeper. Moreover, the king has admitted that Sophia’s mother, Riserte, and the king had a close relationship. It would be impossible for Sophia to have such a relationship with the king and then with another man, a common gatekeeper.

First of all, if Sophia is really Gassour’s child, why did he not pursue her when Riserte was chased out of the castle? The fact that Liselte left without saying anything, as well as the fact that he did not know where she was, is questionable. He said that she was pregnant and probably decided not to bother Gassour, but is that really the case? Rather, it would be more plausible to say that Gassour abandoned the pregnant Riserte.

“……Why am I just thinking about the possibility that, that man is not Sophia’s father……?”

If Sophia is Gassor’s daughter, wouldn’t it be more easier to divorce her?

Sophia can be kept away from the king and can be divorced. There is no need to continue watching her anymore. It would be a good thing for Randall.

Randall got up from his chair.

I can’t… I can’t get any work done today. He called the maid to make him a cup of tea to take a break.

He wanted to check on Gassour, but it was more than sixteen years ago when he was employed as a gatekeeper. I doubt if there are any records left.

If the man had approached Sophia with some malicious intent, we would have to deal with him as soon as possible, but we don’t know anything, so there’s no way to move.

It was then his head hurt and Randall held his head for some minutes.

There was a tap on the door of the room, and when Randall opened the door, his cousin, the first princess, Keira, was standing there.

“Why are you here?”

Randall invited Keira into the room and told the maid to prepare tea and sweets for her.

Keira looked up at Randall with a somewhat unhappy look on her face, as if to ask him a question.

“Randall,” she said. “I heard that Sofia’s real father showed up. Is it true?”

Randall was surprised. . I had already stopped everyone from talking about Gassour, including the coachman of the Duke of Voltio yesterday on his way back from the Duke of Levode’s residence, and he had thought it was impossible for anyone to know.

Keira quirked her eyelashes sadly.

“”I was surprised … I’m sure my father was shocked”

“I’m sure your father would be shocked. I mean, where did you hear about it?”

“the news is all over”.

” I’m sure my father has heard about it”.

“The rumor is all over …….”

Where in the world did it leak out? The maids and maidservants of the castle love to gossip, and surely if it leaked out, it would spread quickly, but even so, it was too soon.

“Keira. We are still investigating into this matter. We don’t know all the details yet, and we don’t know if the man is really Sofia’s father.”

‘…… Randall thinks differently?’

‘I think it’s very likely,’ he said.

‘………Yes, but you’ve always suspected Sophia as a fake. Do you think it’s unlikely?”

Keira was a little frustrated.

No wonder. She had been cold to Sophia for a long time. She was probably the most relieved that Sophia was gone from the castle. However, if Sophia is Randall’s wife, she will have opportunities to see her at evening parties and so on. She may be afraid of that.

Randall said. “I know you are still worried, but I am keeping an eye on Sophia. Besides, it wasn’t Sophia who was the one to spill the red wine at the last party, was it? You don’t need to be so scared”.

“I’m not trying to …… get rid of Sophia”.

“I know. I know you’re not the kind of girl who thinks like that. But you’re worried, aren’t you?”

“I know that’s a little ……. But it’s really not true. I thought that if Sophia’s real father appeared, she would probably be happier living with him. Besides,……, I wonder how much your father would be hurt if he found out that Sophia was not his daughter,……. That’s what I’m worried about.”

Keira pours milk into her tea and gently sips it with a sad expression on her face.

She is a kind person, so she must be feeling heartbroken for Sophia and for her father, who has suffered so much.

“I’ll look into this matter, so don’t worry and wait for me.”

Randall nodded vigorously to comfort his kind-hearted cousin.
