And then she just acted out the sy
Dusk Rose fell right into her trap and even caught her
Big ainst her acupuncture needles with his guard down in such close proxie Are Arht into it
A pri oneself in the foot!
The depth of Elaru’s plans left Dusk stunned It seemed like she was several steps ahead of him every step of the way And worst of all, he had no idea that he was even playing a chess game until check sense of helplessness Like his fate was co to change it Like no led, it would be completely futile

Dusk Rose looked around helplessly, hoping that souardian would finally intervene
“Don’t bother” The redheaded demon chuckled “No one will couardian intervening, you should give up now”
Dusk gritted his teeth and pressed his
“No one is hurt We didn’t even fight Why would the guardian bother with us?” Elaru continued “Do you think that thing would pay attention to the dealings of us ainst its prime directive?”
Dusk’s eyes narrowed “What do you know about the Muni guardian?”
Elaru grinned and shrugged “You don’t really expect me to answer that? All inforot nothing of value to purchase it with Unless…”

“Of course I don’t” Elaru mumbled more to herself “Why would I carry an antidote to the poison I am immune to?”
She looked at her pocket watch and frowned Ti, she needed to hurry, or else Kiel would ht Better make a mental note to train Kiel’s poison immunity in the future At least for the poisons hard to defend against like Fever Touch
Dusk Rose’s eyes glittered with glee “Too bad Even if you take him to the infirmary, they will think it’s just a cold One-touch…I mean Fever Touch is almost undiscoverable And even if they believed you when you tell them he was poisoned, they wouldn’t kno to make the antidote”
She was doomed to fail! Kiel Rroda would most definitely miss his exams!
