Joseph nodded and said, "Please tell me what you've heard?"
Lavallette replied, "It is believed that Prince Charles is having an affair with an older woman in Berlin, and she seems to have a high status."
Joseph frowned a little but wasn't too surprised. After all, Charles grew up in the Palace of Versailles and it was no surprise that he picked up some "good habits" from the French nobility.
He sighed, "No wonder he said a couple of days ago that he wanted to go to Essen to oversee the military situation there. It seems he wants to stay in Northern Germany a while longer."
He asked Lavallette again, "Do you know who she is?"
"That is not yet clear, Your Highness. But that Baron Mosten hinted that the person holds significant power in the City Palace."
Joseph nodded reluctantly, "Alright, use the time while Charles is in Essen to investigate this matter as soon as possible."
