Chapter 1287
Aware that Alan was testing the water, Olivia wore a bright smile.
“If I'm deceived, I'll take it as a lesson.People wise up from experiences.I won't easily trust others
anymore."
He couldn't find anything off from her flawless face.
The series of questions stopped as he began giving her a proper tour of the royal castle.
They headed closer to Royal Hospital, where a field of herbs was planted.
Flowers bloomed into vibrant colors.
“Falham, our national flower.Those bright petals can be taken as medicine after drying them.The fruits
and stems can be eaten too."
She hummed in response.
"I've heard that, 60 years ago, an invasion caused havoc in Carathia, and soldiers filled the streets.

“Falham has a tenacious vitality.It lives through four seasons, and from the petals to the stems, it can
be eaten.It sustained a lot of people through that drought.After that, it was bestowed as the national
flower."
“That's right.You're smart.Things are getting better now.We don't lack money or food.Many youngsters
don't know the history of it.’ He switched the topic.
“Here's Royal Hospital.I heard that you practiced medicine.Would you like to visit the place? Various
herbs are planted inside."
Olivia had guessed that it was coming from him.
If she turned down the offer, it might be too obvious.
Left with no choice, she accepted it, "I did practice medicine, trained to be a surgeon.But I quit school
due to personal issues.I'm afraid I'm not that knowledgeable in traditional medicine."
"Don't worry about it.There are a few traditional practitioners in the Royal Hospital.You can talk to
them."
“Sure."
She was curious about what else Alan had up his sleeves.
There was no way they could still coax her into admitting that she was Ophelia, she believed.
“We made spear-syrup candies today.It's one of our local specialties.Would you like to give it a
try?"
"Yes."
She halted in her tracks, waiting for him to lead the way.
Obviously, it was a test by Alan.
If it was Ophelia, she would've turned toward the restaurant's direction instinctively.
Unbeknownst to him, Olivia had managed to prevail over her reflex action with control.
Aside from being a daring character, being meticulous was one of the criteria to be a S Rank assassin.
“This way, please,"he invited.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter barely taking a few steps, someone called from behind.
"Dr.Ophelia! Dr.Ophelia!"
Olivia almost turned around in response.
Calmly, she initiated a conversation with Alan.
“Are these herbs? If you hadn't told me, I would've thought that they were ordinary plants.Look how
pretty the flowers are! Can we grow it indoors?"
The shouting of the nechoed louder until Marvin patted her shoulder.
He ran to her front, huffing, "Dr.Ophelia, why did you ignore me? I was calling for you! You—Who are
you?"
He stared at the gorgeous woman in a daze.
Alan chided, "Dr.Dooley, what are you doing? This is the Arlandian admiral's wife."
"The admiral's wife?"
Marvin scratched his head, awkward.
“I'm sorry for mistaking you for the wrong person.Your back resembles a doctor from Royal Hospital."
Olivia let out a warm smile.
“It's fine.You were calling for me? I thought you were looking for someone else."
Her pristine smile melted his heart, putting him in a trance.
