Chapter 135 - Chapter 24: Torrent (2/2)
In-gong worried about it, but the answer didn’t come out. Then In-gong stopped thinking about that and left the cell.
“Good job.”
He didn’t forget to praise Nayatra, who smiled with red cheeks.
“Thank you.”
She replied gracefully. It was a beautiful smile, and In-gong sensed a gap between the Nayatra of Knight Saga and the Nayatra before him now. The Nayatra of Knight Saga would never smile like she was doing now and was called an ice cold knight. Was it due to the slavery? Or did her attitude harden because of Zephyr?
‘Well, it doesn’t matter since I’m in a good condition right now.’
There was still a lot to be addressed, but it seemed like his relationship with Nayatra was quite good.
‘Although it was forced… I am grateful for her support.’
In-gong sighed with relief as he looked at Nayatra. Then Nayatra, who was sneaking a glance at In-gong, quickly bowed her head.
“Well, I feel quite bad.”
Carack’s complaint was ignored as they left the dungeon, and someone came running up to them. It was Delia.
“Your Highness.”
She had rushed and was out of breath. In-gong ignored Carack, who was smiling at Delia, and asked her,
“What’s going on?”
“6th Princess says there is an urgent message.”
“Felicia noona?”
“She might need to leave Evian for a while. The princess is waiting for Prince in your office.”
In-gong needed to listen to the details of this story, so he sent Nayatra back and moved hastily with Carack and Delia.

“Silvan contacted me. I think he needs my help.”
Felicia sat on the desk in the office In-gong was using. After she finished speaking, In-gong approached the desk and asked,
“Is there a problem on Silvan hyung’s side?”
“Well, a little? It isn’t a big deal. He was tracking down a few ruins, and it seems like he has found a site. He needs my help as a ruins expert.”
In-gong thought about Silvan’s region. If he found something, it was likely In-gong already knew about it.
‘There wasn’t anything dangerous.’
He couldn’t think of anything dangerous in that area.
Felicia saw In-gong’s worried look and said,
“You don’t have to worry. It is just an excuse to look around because I want to see it.”
In-gong thought about Silvan and Felicia’s words and was convinced. Felicia jumped off the desk and said,
“It is unlikely the barbarians will come back again, and Evian’s defense has now stabilized somewhat. Can I go help Silvan for a while?”
In-gong was in charge at Evian. Despite also being a royal child, Felicia needed In-gong’s permission to leave Evian.
In-gong nodded without any worries.
“I understand. Instead, be careful. Please contact me if something happens. I’ll run over straight away.”
“Yes, faster than the wind?”
Felicia winked, and In-gong nodded with a somewhat red face. He was embarrassed about the slogan he had come up with. Felicia laughed at In-gong’s expression.
“Okay, I’ll just tell you something else.”
Felicia reached out to In-gong’s neck and pulled out the Tears of a Dark Elf hanging there.
“Shutra, do you know why I gave you the Tears of a Dark Elf?”
It was a gift Felicia had given to In-gong as a reward for his actions during the Red Lightning tribe mission. Felicia rotated her hand to show In-gong a ring.
“The Tears of a Dark Elf is actually a set of a ring and a necklace. If one of the owners is in a serious crisis, the other one will become aware of it.”
It was the first time he had heard this story. In Knight Saga, he had only been able to get his hands on the necklace after knocking down Felicia.
However, Felicia just waved her hands at his doubts and said,
“So far, I have been right next to In-gong. Of course, it wouldn’t have worked.”
It made a lot of sense. The only time he had been in a crisis without Felicia being there was when he fought Mustafa. After that, Felicia was always with him.
“I gave you the Tears of a Dark Elf to pay off my debt. If Shutra’s in danger, I will show up and rescue you.”
That was the true reason why Felicia had given him the Tears of a Dark Elf.
“Maybe this time, there will be a chance to repay the debt.”
“Hey, isn’t it more likely that Noona will be in a crisis?”
“Let’s see?”
Felicia laughed as she covered her face with a fan and knocked against In-gong’s shoulders.
“Please look after Caitlin.”
“Tell Silvan hyung to look after Noona as well.”
Felicia made a dissatisfied face at In-gong’s words.
“Anyway, I’ve received permission from the leader of the Evian mission. Then I will leave now.”
“Right now?”
“Yes, there is no reason to delay. And you don’t have to see me off. I’ve decided to go to Takar with Caitlin. She is already at the gate.”
As she said this, Felicia was already prepared to leave. In-gong was dumbfounded and asked with narrow eyes,
“Excuse me, did you even need my permission?”
Felicia just laughed instead of answering. She hugged In-gong and said,
“I am going, Shutra.”
“Go well, Felicia.”
Felicia pinched In-gong’s cheeks and left the room. As always, she moved with light and elegant steps.
In-gong looked at her back and said quietly,
“Will nothing really happened?”
He didn’t have a foreboding or ominous feeling, so nothing should happen.
Carack blinked at In-gong’s words and asked him,
“Prince, is this really okay? Should Princess really leave Prince? Is there really no ominous hint?”
“Why are you doing this? Don’t jinx things.”
Both of them were joking around. In-gong moved to the window of the office and gazed outside. He saw Felicia leaving the building.
‘Take care of your body.’
In-gong gave a short prayer as he gazed at the back of Felicia, who was leaving the fourth base.
