Chapter 183 (1/2)

“I was wondering why you weren’t coming…” Kyle, who took the luggage lightly, fumbled inside the locker and pulled out a note.

The baggage was secretly sent to Kyle from the Tezeba branch, filled with documents he had left behind in the capital. Of course, it also contained his weapons. Kyle sighed as he read the note left by Penelope. “The information that you’re missing out on volunteer work has already reached the Imperial Family.”

“I see.”

Since she abandoned her supposed responsibilities and managed to slip past her guardian, it was only expected that another crime would add to Eleonora’s almost ceaseless list. However, Noah was now relieved of such burden. She was no longer bearing the shell of the infamous witch, and no one is aware of her true identity excluding Kyle and the little boy. At last, Noah was liberated from the chains of the witch’s name.

“Maybe there’s news in Secretary Rossinell’s ear, too. According to the personal schedule I had in advance, he’s been down to Homed since a week ago. Just in case, he slipped back like someone else,”Kyle uttered.

“Like me?”

“And like me. We need to think about whether we should hurry, or we should look at the situation and move carefully.” Kyle glanced out of the window where a carriage drawn by a horse could be seen. It was a freight carriage with a rough tent spread over the cart. Inside, the dealers from Yulem were binded by a rope, which was especially sealed with dragon’s magic.

The dealers’ train from the simple station in Noviscosha stopped short as they left the mountain range. Instead, a freight wagon was waiting in front of the severed railway. Although Laurent is said to be having remarkable progress, horses and carriages were still the main means of transportation in rural areas instead of cars and trains running on engines. With no ticket reservation records and no passenger list left, it was also perfect for secretly siphoning off illegal items.

Of course, the travel speed was much slower than the train. Hence, Noah and Kyle, along with Muell, moved at ease.

“Miss Noah, have you ever done anything suspicious to the Minister before coming down to Noviscosha?” asked Kyle.

“No, not really.”
