　The truth is, the real story is the one at the beginning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In a less-than-praiseable way ...... it was necessary to instill the seeds of distrust in Eve Speed now, even if it meant making up a story. Against the Duke of Zuan and the Mercenary Guild, you know.
