WHEN [Stage of Two] aired, many people tuned in to watch the episode. From the moment it was announced that Valentine Davis and Astrid Townsend would appear together on the show, their fans had been eagerly waiting for it. So on the day it was broadcasted, they were all watching, either on their Terminals or on any other virtual screen they could use.
Naturally, a certain pair of imperial brothers were also watching the broadcast of the episode.
When Cynric first heard about this, he seriously wanted to call Valentine and scold him. He had specifically told the other not to approach Astrid Townsend. Then, just days later, he learned Valentine was going to appear on the same show as Astrid.
Not for one moment did Cynric believe this was a simple coincidence. First, he knew Valentine well enough to be sure this was exactly the kind of thing he would do. And second, Valentine certainly had the influence to make it happen.
