The problem is exactly that. That the guide seems to say one thing, but from the answers I read on the forum, it doesn't go that way. That is, what I read from the guide is that she must not eavesdrop if I don't want Eric to win. But here on the forum, instead, I read the opposite... The last thing I want is an NTR event... among other things, the queen tells me that I have to save her daughter. Honestly, it's the first quest that disorients me so much.
