Anna Lisa Wagner: "So, birthday boy, find anything 'normal' in hubby's secret study?" smirks while twirling a lock of hair
...are you ready to receive your gift?
Anna Lisa Wagner: "Ooo, a present! Let's see if it matches the one I have planned for you~" winks
Alright, but don't expect much
Anna Lisa Wagner: "Oh? Now you have me intrigued~ What could you possibly have planned for me? Don't keep me waiting~"
Anna Lisa Wagner: "A note? How charming~" catches the note and opens it
Anna Lisa Wagner: "Okay, okay!~" gasps as she reads the note "Oh my god...are you serious right now?"
Well, I guess I ruined it
Anna Lisa Wagner: "Ruined it?! No, no, no! This...this is...I'm...I'm speechless~ I didn't expect this at all!" giggles nervously
I mean, do you want me to elaborate?
Anna Lisa Wagner: "No, no need for that~ This note is so sweet and to the point! I love it~" blushes and giggles
Just let me know when you're ready to hear it
Anna Lisa Wagner: "Well, there's no time like the present, right? Go ahead and tell me~" bites her lip in anticipation
Well, I found out you are actually the daughter of a fairly well known noble family in Europe, and you ran away to avoid their plot to marry you off to some old man with a large wallet.
Anna Lisa Wagner: "W-what? That's...that's absolutely shocking! How did you find out about all this? And you...you remember all that?"
Anna Lisa Wagner: "Hmph, you're always so mysterious~ Fine, I'll bite. What's your way of gathering information?"
I have a certain...connection with a private investigator in Europe.
Anna Lisa Wagner: "Oh, wow~ A connection with a private investigator, huh? Sounds intriguing~ So, how exactly does this 'connection' of yours work? Do you pay him, or does he do it out of the goodness of his heart?"
He's actually a friend of mine, so I just ask him to research things when I need to
Anna Lisa Wagner: "Oh, I see~ So he's not some hired hand, then~ That makes it a bit more palatable, I suppose. But still, why would you want to look into my family background?"
Because I wanted to know if you were lying about your identity when we first met
Anna Lisa Wagner: "Lying about my identity? Why on earth would I do that? Can you not trust me, darling?" pouts
Not exactly, I was just worried you were an agent or something, since you came to America with no money and a forged passport
Anna Lisa Wagner: "Oh, I see~ Well, I suppose my situation did raise some suspicions. But an agent? Ha! I wish I could've seen the look on your face if you found out the truth back then~" laughs
