Even though hardly anyone came up here, the place was kept remarkably clean. There was even a swing set on the small platform, large enough for two or three people to sit on together.
However, there were no guardrails, and the entire platform lacked any kind of barrier. If the swing swung out too far and the person on it couldn't hold on tight, they could easily fall off.
Violet invited Jaina to sit on the swing and began to gently rock it back and forth, facing the river view.
Jaina felt a flutter of fear in her heart. Her martial arts skills weren't very good, and her Lightfoot Skill was mediocre at best. She clutched the rope next to her in a death grip.
"When I met you at Grovehill Estate, you didn't know my identity. How could you be so sure afterward?" Jaina was puzzled. Everything felt too coincidental, as if it had been carefully orchestrated.
Violet replied, "That day, you seemed somewhat familiar to me because of the mole on your lip. The Hell Monarch's princess consort's mother also had a mole at the corner of her mouth. Plus, you bear a resemblance to the Hell Monarch's wife, and there were some familiar mannerisms about you. I felt I knew you, but I couldn't quite place who you reminded me of. Now I realize—it was Jacob."
"Jacob?" Jaina repeated the name, feeling a strange sense of unfamiliarity. She vaguely recalled a boy who once brought her pound cakes under an apple tree. The sunlight shone on his face, and his smile was broad and bright.
Yet, she couldn't recall what he looked like. And now, that boy had grown up and became the head archivist at Hell Monarch Estate.
"You still haven't told me how you knew I was Jaina," Jaina said again.
Violet continued, "Actually, we already knew that Eleanor intended to betroth someone to Thomas, who happens to be my godbrother. They want to place their people within the military. I imagine she didn't keep that from you. If she wanted you to carry out a task, she'd naturally need to inform you."
Jaina nodded. "Yes, you're right about that."
"From the moment I laid eyes on you, something felt off. You've lived in Harmony Palace for so long, right? Have you seen any women there who bear a resemblance to you? Those concubines of Henry's?"
