Chapter 106 - Remove Your Hand (2) (1/2)

As soon as Kuhn left the building where Mirabelle was, he was found quickly by the Crown Prince’s men nearby. He didn’t know if he would be taken to the Empress without Mirabelle’s protection, but he was safe now that Carlisle’s forces were everywhere.

Carlisle and Elena hurried towards Kuhn, who was in urgent need of emergency treatment. Zenard gave his report and left to deal with the rest of the Empress’ men.

“General…”

Kuhn tried to lift himself to greet him, but Carlisle gently pushed down on his shoulders.

“Are you all right?”

“Yes, I’m fine.”

He didn’t seem to be answering honestly, but his response was calm.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“No. I apologize for not fulfilling my mission.”

“Don’t waste your thoughts and concentrate on getting better now.”

REPORT THIS AD

Kuhn weakly dropped his head. Perhaps he had too much guilt for not completing the mission. Meanwhile, Elena was standing behind Carlisle, confirming with her own eyes that he was safe. At that moment Kuhn’s gray eyes turned towards her.

“Who is this?”

Carlisle’s turned his head back towards Elena, then replied in a casual voice.

“This is my bodyguard.”

Elena offered a light nod instead of answering. Kuhn knew Elena’s voice, and it was possible he could recognize her if she spoke. She didn’t want to say anything in front of him as much as possible.

“…I see.”

Kuhn stared at Elena in her metal armor with an unreadable expression. He didn’t have the same attitude as Zenard, but Kuhn didn’t seem to welcome her presence either.

‘No one welcomes you here.’

Suddenly, Elena remembered Morgan’s face. There was still a long night to go, but she thought she should see him again if she had the chance.

The next day, the sun rose without fail.
