Chapter 165 (1/2)

Noah bit her lips and muttered, “I don’t have any more restraints, but if I say something weird again, please hit me on the head.”

“I won’t hit you. I’m not crazy. Stop talking nonsense and get a hold of yourself. Don’t bite your lips, look at me.” Kyle cupped Noah’s cheeks, who was trying to avoid his gaze and turned her face towards himself. “When I’m done with my work, I’ll go down to Sorrent and take care of you. You shouldn’t cry over anything, Miss Noah. You’re not even a child.”

In other words, Kyle had just declared a vow not to take his eyes off Noah for at least the next few years. He cannot completely manage her; he has no choice but to observe from the sidelines and run to her aid whenever she spirals out of control. Fortunately, Noah seemed to like his proposal to return to Sorrent and recuperate.

“Would you like to go on a trip with me?” she asked.

“Of course,” Kyle replied with a smile.

“Clean for me?” Noah blinked several times.

“Don’t think about taking advantage of this opportunity. You must be feeling better now that you’re trying to play with words.”

At last, the brazen Noah returns. Kyle stretched her cheeks to both sides in exasperation, but inwardly, he felt relieved. “Don’t scare people. How many more times do I have to say ‘please’?”

“I’m sorry, sir.”

“No, sorry won’t make up for it.” Of course, his grudge fell apart as soon as Noah apologized again. While Kyle was tending and soothing Noah, Muell was listening to the stories told by the creatures hiding in the opposite side of the cave.

[This is the land where Sailor left for the dragon to inhabit.]

[And then humans found it.]

[When I opened my eyes, it was like this.]

Upon entering the entrance to the Maobiana mine, the young dragon had heard voices of fairies that fluttered their wings underground. The fairies’ eggs, which belonged to the dragon that had settled in this cradle, hatched the same moment Muell hatched in Sorrent. Fairies with golden wings circled around the little dragon and whispered stories.

[Humans keep tearing down the nest containing the magic of Sailor. I don’t know what they’re going to use it for.]

[I hate it.]

“So where are they all?” asked the little dragon.

[I locked it up.]

[I often see a man trying to get away with it.]
