Chapter 105 (1/2)

The faces of the people paled in an instant, their eyes as wide as their mouths. At that moment, their vague contempt for Eleonora Asil transformed into fear.

However, there was nothing more amusing than commanding the same people to be polite to her. Noah spat out rather intimidatingly, “I told the General Manager over there that I was willing to collaborate, but I wouldn’t know what I’m going to do if you keep treating me like this. Sir Leonard realized these past couple of days that you shouldn’t provoke me. Would you like me to make you understand you in a similar way?”

This time, everyone’s gaze shifted to Kyle, who was patting Muell’s back with a tired face. He looked rather pitiful in their eyes.

There was a stifling silence, and soon the Emperor opened his mouth to speak. “Alright. I apologize for the minister’s mistake. He didn’t mean to insult you. Isn’t that right, Finance Minister?”

“…..”

“Your words tend to be a bit harsh. Admit it and apologize. Come on.”

“…Sorry, Lady Asil.” The Finance Minister apologized with a disgruntled face. As the Emperor offered an apology himself, Noah decided to not press the matter further anymore, and nodded with the same contorted expression.

The Emperor gave a good laugh. “What a lovely sight. Now, Lady, you already know. I believe you will keep your promise to cooperate with the Imperial Family.”

“…Yes.” Now, it was time to prove her willingness to cooperate, and there was also only one way to gain the confidence of the Emperor of Laurent while simultaneously lowering the risks she posed.

“Mu, would you like to go to the Imperial City first?” Noah asked the little child, who was hugging Kyle.

“First?” His round eyes blinked in confusion.

“Yes. A few days… No, just a week ahead.”

That way, Noah would be apart from the dragon for a little while. It had been confirmed that it was possible to consciously control the mana if the physical distance from the source was great. It was good for Noah to be kept away from Muell until she somehow became used to the potent force.

“No…”

But, of course, the boy wouldn’t easily get away from his master. Feeling like Noah was leaving him behind, Muell began to flap his arms and legs, attempting to get out of Kyle’s grip.

“I’ll be with Noah, old man.”

“I’m not an old man.”
