Chapter 138

The moment he entered the room, he was greeted by a sonorous melody .

Noah stopped for a short moment before he entered the room . He closed the doors and he turned his gaze towards one corner of the room .

As usual, Seitens.h.i.+ wore a white dress that looked like a bridal gown as she sat in front of the piano . She churned out divine notes with closed eyes . Her faint smile can reduce the stress of anyone who saw her . Her gloves-covered dainty little fingers, dancing across the piano keys as she emitted notes after notes of trained perfection .

Noah’s tense expression softened up when he saw this scene . Without making a sound, he leaned against the door as he enjoyed the music with crossed arms . He found his heart slowly calming down .

Seitens.h.i.+’s piano skills could use improvements .

At least, she’s not on par with musicians who honed their skills throughout their lives .

But, compared to the average piano player, her melody carried a sense of refinement that would turn heads if she played in the public .

This might be due to her nature, she loved peace and her saintess soul could be seen in her soothing music .

The scores turned into something beautiful when they are paid by this stunning beauty with the heart of a s.h.i.+ning star . It’s also easy for others to resonate with her .

Noah was also caught by her soft magic .

Noah can feel her love for the world and her unbending will to realize her idealistic world . Her music managed to pacify his boiling emotions which was something he found rather surprising .

The music played on .

When the music stopped echoing in this room, Noah who was listening intently opened his eyes .

The man and the woman stared at each other as their gazes met .

In this rather luxurious room, the warm mood turned into hotter as the perceived temperature increased the longer the two stared at each other .

Noah looked a bit awkward while Seitens.h.i.+ blushed red in response . Their cute responses around each other destroyed the pink mood from before .

Seitens.h.i.+ got up from her seat and she greeted him with a wide smile .

“This is the tune composed by the same composer of the piece you played last time . ”

“Yeah, I know . ”

Noah chuckled .

“Your skills have grown since the last time I saw you . I dare say you might even better than me already . ”

“That’s because I have a great teacher . ”

Seitens.h.i.+ replied with an elegant smile .

“I am just happy I can finish one piece of music . ”

Noah can empathize with her . Like Seitens.h.i.+, he only honed his skills to a level where he can proficiently play the pieces he liked .

They played piano for fun, they weren’t serious about it in the first place .

After all, they had more important affairs to attend to .

After chatting for a bit, Seitens.h.i.+ stored her smile away as she got down to bra.s.s tacks .

“I saw the fight between you and President Saitake . ”

“Really?”

Noah sighed and he bowed towards Seitens.h.i.+ .

“Sorry, I went ahead of myself here . I apologize for making you cover for me . You have my thanks for that . ”

“You told me to trust you, no?”

“Rather than me, you are the perfect counter to someone as ambitious as Saitake . Plus, you saved me from the sniper before this . It was only natural that both of us clashed in the meeting room, our ideals are way too different . ”

“You were thinking about that?”

Noah knitted his brows .

“I am going to say this to you straight . Saitake is as you have seen, he wants to eliminate you so he can rule all the regions and install a world order . Meanwhile, you want to create an era of peace in this chaotic world . So long as he is alive, there will come another when the two of you will b.u.t.t heads again . ”

“I know, that’s why I am very grateful to you . ”

Seitens.h.i.+ said with an earnest heart .

With your forceful actions, that ambitious guy should go into hiding for quite some time . He will also be too afraid to do anything to Tokyo Area for now, buying precious time for me . ”

“Yeah, these measures are only temporary . ”

Noah looked at Seitens.h.i.+ .

“Anyway, I caused you a lot of trouble by moving on my own . This is a fact that I am ready to admit and apologize for . ”
