Chapter 113 (1/2)

Despite her whines and grumbles, Noah dragged the pen along the blank sheets of paper. Did she have a choice? No, she had to endure to acquire her freedom.

It was never intentional. It wasn’t a premeditated crime, it was just an accidental mistake. I’ve never had contact with Yulem, and I guess there was a conflict as they approached me knowing that I had imprinted the dragon…

“Why do I have to write this!” Noah complained as her fingers were beginning to feel numb, but flinched at Kyle’s glare as she attempted to throw his sixteenth letter of apology away.

“Miss Noah, I told you I was working all night to reduce your sentence. So, how to behave as one at the receiving end of help?” Kyle asked very gently but with menace in his words at the same time. After three seconds of silence, Noah replied, bowing her head.

“I’ll finish it without saying anything…” She wrapped her fingers around the pen again, gliding it across the paper along with her melancholy.

If you forgive me just this once, I will really be reborn as a new person.

A little tired, Kyle blinked slowly as he read Noah’s letter of apology. Her handwriting, which first started straight, became more and more incomprehensible after a few paragraphs. In fact, the last chapter had almost been scrawled.

However, since the Emperor had no plans to read each letter anyway, Kyle inserted the fifteenth reflection in the compilation instead of nagging Noah to write properly. While Noah was writing her sixteenth letter, Kyle took out his case log and checked the list of things he had to deal with.

Eleonora Asil murder.

A mass disappearance in the Noviscosha mine.

A back-up investigation of Lenia Valtalere

Post-op interrogation of the train to Central Edman and the assassins from Yulem on Angelic.

Review after editing the recording.

There was so much Kyle had to do. If Noah’s trial would be completed safely, the case of the egg’s disappearance would be officially closed. However, since the real culprit wasn’t her, Kyle must catch Lenia’s tail and seize the power that controlled her.

In the meantime, something unusual was happening on Noviscosha’s side, so he had to go on a business trip, but he couldn’t handle Tezeba and Noviscosha’s affairs at the same time unless he had two bodies.
