Ep14
The same evening, in Yvaine's study
Yvaine
I have gone through the lists of the new recruits for the 3rd time now
Yvaine
*scrunches her nose* Yet there is no clue on anyone of them being the traitor
Yvaine
I am exhausted. There is a traitor on the run amongst us and I have to take care of Koen's princess too
Yvaine
Yet I am hardly progressing on either front
There is a slight knock on the door
Firo
It's Firo Erehn, the new recruit you called for Mrs Consigliere
Yvaine
(Oh yea, I still have to interview all the new recruits personally)
Firo
*enters the room and sits on the sofa*
Firo
*fiddles his fingers nervously*
Yvaine
Am I that scary to you? I haven't even spoken a word yet
Firo
*shakes his hands* Of course not! I just get nervous easily
Yvaine
I expected a yes though
Firo
Aaa-ah! (Now this is awkward)
Firo
Well why was I summoned now?
Yvaine
Why did you join the Mafia?
Firo
To provide for my family
Yvaine
*raises an eye* You didn't hesitate for a second even. Did you practice these questions before?
Firo
*flinches* Not really...
Yvaine
How many years have you spent in the Mafia already?
Firo
Isn't that information already with you?
Firo
I have been in the field since 2 years
Yvaine
Huh? The paper says you have been working since 5 years
Firo
Can I see it? There could be a mistyping
Yvaine
(Contrary to his naive looks, he is rather prepared for the situations)
Yvaine
No, I just read it wrong
Firo
Is there anything else?
Yvaine
Nothing more, you are dismissed
Firo
*walks out of the door*
Yvaine
(That ticks out another one of them. It seems like I am going in circles continuously)
Yvaine
*sighs* All this time I have only been counting the recruits
Yvaine
What about the higher ups? The ones who are against Irene's succession? There is an endless list of suspects now
Yvaine
And most importantly.....what about Koen?
Yvaine
What's to say he isn't the "traitor"?
Yvaine
Even though I took the utmost care in monitoring his activities, someone as crafty as him can always betray me
Yvaine
Huh? I don't have any more recruits to deal with today
Irene
*opens the door and enters*
Yvaine
What are you doing here?
Irene
*smiles* It's my work space also
Irene
Of course I have to be here
Yvaine
The pressure of work is getting to me it seems
Yvaine
(I should hide the files about Lethia)
Yvaine
Nothing much, just sniffing out the rat
Irene
*eyes her hand movements*
Irene
All those documents laid out, they are regarding that?
Yvaine
*hands over Firo's biodata* Take a look all you like
Irene
(Firo? Oh! he must be the man I met then. So he is a man like this) *reads intently*
Yvaine
You are reading keenly, found anything suspicious?
Irene
I was just going through the details about the newbie
Yvaine
(Something definitely feels out of place here. She never showed this much interest in her people)
Yvaine
(Wait, could it be that?!)
Yvaine
Think he is handsome?~
Irene
He isn't half bad in looks
Irene
Stop that. You know I am not 🙄
Yvaine
Sure if you say so 😏
Irene
Wipe that look off your face or el-
Yvaine
*speaks with astonishment* It's Rouxi. She completed the task.....unscathed
Irene
She killed him, escaped and now is returning without a scratch?!
