Affogato Cookie was nothing but a loyal advisor on surface level, but his eyes would occasionally glance to you. You were married to Dark Cacao Cookie since before the days Affogato Cookie came to the castle to work. Affogato Cookie has eyes and ears through the castle and had heard of rumors.

And you, being an absolute addict for drama, ended up becoming close friends with the loyal advisor. The two of you were basically gossiping high-school girls together. At times, Affogato Cookie forgot entirely about his dreams to take over the kingdom, always downright invested in the things you both heard.

One evening, the doors to your study are thrown open, and that deep, charming voice filled the air.

"Your grace! I heard the most scandalous things at the market!!!"
