[NT: Yes, just one chapter today. But don't worry, I'll make up for it all on the 22nd, when I'll release a mass update of ten chapters.]
Honestly, if Ethan didn't possess the touch of the god of love, figuring out that Ophelia was lying would have been extremely difficult, since he hadn't been in contact with his mother for several years.
To make matters worse, Goldenveil had no counterintelligence capabilities whatsoever, and he himself hadn't managed to get a single agent into Whitefall.
Ophelia had gotten so close so easily by exploiting that very weakness.
Without his perfect skill for discovering hostile women, he'd certainly be in trouble.
The thought made him uncomfortable. Fortunately, that discomfort wouldn't last long, since a busty spy queen had just fallen right into his lap.
The instant she heard Ethan's words about an "interrogation," Ophelia's eyes went wide with panic.
He had discovered her!
