Chapter 164 (1/2)

Muell widened his eyes and looked at Kyle. Although the young dragon did not understand well, he followed Kyle’s instructions nonetheless. Kyle then approached Noah and cupped her cheeks with his hands.

“What’s the matter, sir?” Noah asked, blinking as she looked up at him, but Kyle only looked into her eyes without answering. The pupils of her blue orbs, with a tinge of gray, were dark red. Certainly, it was a dreadful sign. Kyle asked as calmly as he could, “When did this happen?”

“What?” Noah was at loss.

“You taught Mu yourself that killing is forbidden. Since when did you take it lightly?” asked Kyle.

“That has nothing to do with this. It was self-defense,” Noah raised her eyebrows as if she were falsely accused, “he tried to attack me from behind. I can’t be that nice to him.”

If the woman before him had been the original Park Noah, she would not have uttered such words without hesitation. Kyle peered into her eyes and scoured his mind for past memories. Was there an instant when Noah was saying anything out of the ordinary? There was once, he thought. It was when Noah was called to the Bureau of Investigation and Security’s underground interrogation room to make a false statement.

“If I had really tried to kill her, would Lenia have been able to make that statement alive?”

Kyle had assumed she was only furious at that time, but now that he thought about it, there had been many strange occurrences. Noah wasn’t a person who used violent words nor actions. In Sorrent, she was lazy, and even replying was tiresome for her. Moreover, she is only an ordinary person caught in the frenzy of another world.

No matter how much she rebelled against Adrian, she wasn’t guilty. Even though she had constantly turned the Imperial Palace into ruins and succumbed to her strange impulses with the risk of inflicting harm to others, she wasn’t remorseful.

Kyle swallowed a groan as his thoughts reached a conclusion. He had formulated a hypothesis for this bizarre situation: the boundary between the two resonant souls was gradually falling apart. He looked down at the young dragon who diverted his eyes away from Kyle’s gaze.

“Did you know?” he asked.

“Um…”

“Tell me,” Kyle turned his attention to Noah, “since when did this happen?”
