Chapter 621 Reporting intelligence
When I came back to the camp, I noticed something and then went to my tent alone.
Once I was in the tent, I found that Shadow Five was already waiting for me inside the tent. The way that she stood there, it was as if she had been waiting for a long time for me.
It was a good thing that I had made sure to keep everyone else out or else it would have caused a large stir.
After all, most people didn’t know Shadow Five and would have thought that she was an intruder here to hurt me.
When she saw me come in, she suddenly fell to one knee in front of me and gave a respectful bow.
Shadow Five had never acted this way in front of me before, but now she was showing respect to me that she had never shown me before. Of course, I knew that this was all because of the demonstration that I had given.
It was all because of the things that I had accomplished as part of this army.
That was the only reason that she would show this kind of respect to me.
I just casually waved my hand and said, “There’s no need to act this way. Just get up and tell me what you’re here to say.”
Shadow Five gave a nod before standing up.
She reached into her cloak to take out a packet of papers that she handed to me.
I casually took it and looked it over, but I couldn’t help slightly knitting my brows as I read this.
After a moment of silence, I pointed at a spot on the paper in front of me and asked, “This part here, explain it more clearly for me.”
Shadow Five gave a nod before saying, “It’s like this…”
Once she was done explaining, that frown on my face had disappeared and was replaced with a smile.
As soon as I had noticed this, I knew that this would be my way in.
This would be my way of taking down Duke Yuletide.
This one piece of information made everything that happened here worth it.
After a moment of silence, I gave a nod to Shadow Five and said, “You can go now. Make sure to keep an eye on the duke and his family to make sure that they don’t do anything else.”
Shadow Five gave a slight nod, but she didn’t leave right away.
With the way that she stood there, it was almost as if there was something that she was agonizing over. It was like there was something that she wanted to say, but she didn’t know how to say it.
So she was standing there in an awkward manner.
Though she had put her cloak back on after I had told her that it was fine to do so, I could still see the awkwardness that was there in her figure.
To my surprise, I couldn’t help feeling that this was a bit interesting to see since I had never seen this side of her before. I had only ever seen her confident side, so it was strangely refreshing to see her like this.
But it wouldn’t do for her to remain in my tent like this, so I asked, “You seem like you have something you want to ask me. What is it?”
Shadow Five jolted when she heard this before slowly giving a nod.
Though she gave this nod, she didn’t say anything in the end as she just looked at me, so once again there was an awkward silence that filled the air. But in the end, she took a deep breath and asked, “How did you know that this was there?”
The things that Shadow Five had investigated, they were all because of the advice that Count Zwein had given her.
Otherwise, there was no way that she would have found all of this information on her own.
It was only in the places that he had told her to check that she had found these things in the first place.
So she was curious how he knew about all of this in the first place.
There were many things that he seemed to know that no one else knew…
As someone who worked in gathering intelligence, she naturally couldn’t help being curious about this.
But all I did was shake my head and said, “That’s my secret.”
After all, it wasn’t as if I could tell her that all of my knowledge was from the game that this world was based on, right?
If I told her this, then there was no doubt that she would think that I was completely crazy.Shadow Five didn’t say anything and didn’t even move as she just looked at me for a bit, but in the end, she slowly gave a nod and turned to leave.
But before she could leave, I suddenly thought of something, so I called out to stop her.
Shadow Five turned around and asked, “What is it?”
I looked at her with narrowed eyes for a bit, as if I was the one that was hesitating this time. But in the end, I still said, “Help me contact his fourth highness and ask him if he could deploy the wolves for this matter.”
As soon as Shadow Five heard this, she immediately said in a cold voice, “How do you know about this?”
I shook my head and said, “Once again, this is my secret. I hope that you will understand.”
Shadow Five looked at me for a bit before slowly giving a nod.
It seemed that she had already received orders from the fourth prince to trust me and go along with what I wanted. It seemed that showing him that my loyalty wasn’t easy to sway was a good move.
Seeing the way that she looked at me, I just said, “Personally, I don’t think that it’s necessary, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.”
In the end, Shadow Five just responded with a nod before turning to leave.
