 "You are a guard. All I am asking for is for you to be a guard without questioning me," Isabella crossed her arms before turning her back on Krone. "I am the Mistress of the house and you're just an Assistant."

!!!

Those words were the exact words that the child told me.

Krone couldn't hide the shock in her face when she heard it. She almost lost her facade. It wasn't only the words that are similar to what Conny told to her, even the actions and the facial expression is exactly similar to that child!

She's indeed Isabella's child.

"I will give you an appropriate authority..." Isabella paused before turning her head a little to glance at Krone. A mysterious expression appeared on her face which bothered Krone a little. "But you will obey my instructions."

"Understand? Sister Krone."

If Isabella is truly a formidable foe, then I'll have to follow the orders of that brat! 

No, it can't be, there's no way that this woman is that formidable. If I manage to strike her down from her throne, then I'll be...

Krone stopped thinking when she remembered her conversation with Conny. Her eyes went to the youngest Mom.  

'You won't be able to snatch the throne from my Mom. If I were you, you should stay still.'

Krone clenches her fist secretly when she remembers what Conny told her in the facility.  She can't just ignore what that child told to her. If the warning is the truth, then her true goal will have to collapse.

Not now! She reached this far! 

She has to be careful.

She can't fall. 

A smirk formed on Krone's lips before placing her right hand on her chest. "Yes, Ma'am Isabella," she answered carefully with a respectful tone. 

That's right, she'll have observed first. Who knows if Conny is just bluffing? That child is clever anyway.

Isabella placed her hand in her pocket as she took out a familiar handkerchief. She carefully caressed it before glancing back in Krone's direction. Her lips curled in a mysterious smile when she noticed Krone's expression.

Krone's eyes darted at the handkerchief in Isabella's hand. It was the embroidery of Conny that she asked Krone to give to 'Carol' as a gift. 

She knows that Conny has another intention of giving that gift to Carol, but she has to do it to gather the information that she needed.

After all, Krone was also blackmailed by Conny.

'I know that pen, Sister Krone.' 

Conny told her using her most innocent smile, and for some reason. Krone just found herself doing things according to Conny's bidding. If the child told Grandma about that Pen, she'll be dead.

Those words were a warning. Krone doesn't know how, but for some reason, that child seemed to know something grand. 

Krone had been keeping that Pen with her, yet that child knows her secret. It also seems that Conny knows the function of that pen. No one knows how terrified Krone was when that child snatched and opened the Pen in front of her.

How did she know? 

How could a child know? 

Does she have connections?
