Chapter 248 (1/2)

“Must be nice for him. To have such a woman like that.”

At those words, Kyle gave Adrian a look. His eyes definitely possessed a different emotion from before, not the indifferent gaze he always had. Seeing that Noah hadn’t let go of his hand, Adrian could tell they had the same feelings for each other.

“…it’s true that I am jealous.”

Perhaps Noah heard him, she stuck her head up from behind Kyle’s back, and then she met Adrian’s gaze. After a long staring contest, Noah grabbed Kyle’s hand and shook it. “I have to tell him something,” she said.

“Never. I know what he’ll try to do.”

“Nothing will happen. I am ten times stronger now,” she insisted.

“Your magic abilities, yes. But your physical strength and agility are depleted, so no.”

“Hey! But still!”

A few quiet scuffles between the two ensued. Adrian tried to place Eleonora’s face over hers. It wasn’t difficult to do. Noah’s languid, indifferent expression was surprisingly similar to hers. Frankly speaking, there were times when he wished Noah, who had only worn Eleonora’s body, was just her. He didn’t have to bring her back to life, all Noah had to do was just pretend she was Eleonora. Then all he had to do was think of her as her… Though Adrian had always protested and expressed his vigilance, Noah was not as cruel to him as Eleonora.

“Then I’ll be with Muell. Going with him will increase my agility by double. Right?”

“How do you expect…”

It would have been nice if Eleonora had looked just half as much as her. Adrian’s head spun like crazy. It hadn’t been that long since the soul division, so the bond between the still unstable soul and the body gradually began to shake. Adrian had a splitting headache and dropped his head down, his sense drifting away.

“Hey, Adrian.”

At the calm voice, his mind returned. Someone was hunkered down next to him. It was Noah and Muell who managed to win the scuffle with Kyle.

“Come have a little chat with me.”
