As soon as Park Noah opened her mouth, both spoke at the same time. It took her a little time to understand the situation, but first, she pointed at Adrian with her finger.
âMinister of magic?â
âDid you go with me without knowing it? I am the current head of the Ministry of Magic.â
The conversation she had with the staff earlier in the morning crossed her mind.
âI donât know. They says heâs on a long vacation. Iâve heard theyâve lost contact.â
ââ¦â¦â
So, the sound of the clock that kept poking on my nerves, was that an emergency call to the minister over the railroad attack? Park Noah was dumbfounded and stared at him. His gaze guiltily shifted to the floor.
âWow⦠What a neglect of dutyâ¦â She muttered in astonishment.
âI was on vacation. I wasnât on duty.â
âI canât believe the stalker is the minister of the empireâ¦â
Park Noah knew he would be an extraordinary figure, but she never dreamed that he would be a civil servant of the highest rank in the Empire. Laurent, are you okay?
She then immediately grabbed Kyle Leonard by the arm and began to tell all the blondâs misdeeds.
âSir, he stalked me. He followed me from the train to Battuanu, barged in my compartment, attempted to strike me, followed me when we arrived, and last night he even unlocked the door while I was asleep!â
âYou took my milk, too!â
Beside her, Muell gave a sharp yelp. When they looked up at each other with our eyes full of resentment, Kyle Leonard nodded tiredly.
âYes, yes. I see. Heâs a little⦠Wait. Where did he open the door last night?â
Alert quickly appeared in the investigatorâs face. He grabbed one of her shoulders and turned her around. Park Noah circled in place once and then stopped again, completely dizzy. Only then did she realize he was searching her and said quickly.
âNothing happened.â
His stiff expression relaxed a little. Kyle Leonard tilted her robe a little and asked in a low voice.
âWhat did you tell the officers about your identity? Iâm sure Park Noah isnâtâ¦â
âI said I had an amnesia. They seemed to believe it.â
Kyle Leonard sighed, taking his arm off her.
âI was going to catch that leech and hand it over to the security forces and call you, but suddenly that security chief caught me. I didnât crawl in on my own feet, blowing my identity.â
âYou seem to have a lot of things piled up.â Kyle Leonard muttered and somehow, seemed to be satisfied. Finding it a little strange, Park Noah stared at his face, and Adrian interrupted in agitation.
âSince when have you two been so close? As far as I remember, you were off at each otherâs necks.â
âWeâre not close.â
Kyle Leonard replied immediately while Park Noah nodded her head profusely. Soon, she realized her mistake. While recording a voice message earlier, she had called the investigator âdarlingâ. Adrian shrugged his shoulders.
âA new lover was born, was he that guy? Yesterdayâs enemies become todayâs lovers? Thatâs amazing.â It was pure sarcasm.
When Park Noah glanced at Adrian, she felt quite offended as she saw his bitter eyes. Is this⦠the old boyfriendâs nasty lingering feelings of seeing his new girlfriend?
However, it was none of her business. Park Noah smiled innocently at Adrian. âMr. Stalker, who is best at neglect of duty. If I tell you, would you go to work now?â
âWhat am I supposed to do here, Ellie?â
âWhy are you asking me that?â
Adrianâs green eyes turned to the curly-haired boy. Oh, thatâs right. Park Noah recalled a fact she had forgotten for a moment: one of the reasons Adrian stalked her. He knows Mu is a dragon. If he goes to the imperial city and tell the emperor about itâ¦
Park Noah quickly handed the child onto Kyle Leonard and walked towards Adrian. She grabbed him by the collar, pulling him close to her.
âMr. Stalker. You blow it and Iâll tell Mu to burn you to the ground.â
âItâs cute to threaten. But you canât.â
âYouâve been saying that since last time, why are you so sure?â
âOur Eleonora, youâve become so gentle since you lost your memory. You would have killed me the moment I got on you last night.â
Park Noahâs gangster temper reached its peak. She was fuming. Whether or not Adrian noticed her expression had become grim, Adrian hurriedly spoke in a gentle tone.
âJust promise me one thing and Iâll keep my mouth shut. I mean it.â
ââ¦What promise?â
âWhen you come to Tezeba, keep meeting with me.â
