Chapter 708 - Nightfall (VI) (1/2)

Lize scuttled down the stairs and arrived at the first floor of the palace. She knitted her brows, scanned the surroundings, and let out a long sigh. At this moment, a calm voice sounded.

“Is anything the matter, Madam Lize?”

“Miss Agatha.”

Lize turned toward Agatha and the latter appeared as apathetic as always. In fact, almost everyone was rather fearful toward her, where even Marlene grumbled that Agatha was stricter and more terrifying than her etiquette trainer. However, she was still full of respect toward Agatha. On the other hand, Lize couldn’t help but feel uneasy every time she gazed at her wiggling tentacles.

“Ah. I’m looking for Mr. Rhode, but he isn’t in his room…”

“Master is out at the moment.”

Agatha extended her left, glossy tentacle forward and picked up a cleaning rag.

“Master said he has something important to attend to and Miss Bubble and Miss Canary have accompanied him. He also said that if there isn’t anything critical, don’t bother him.”

“Huh?”

Lize was baffled. This was the first time that she had heard Rhode giving such a stern order. Even though he had behaved this way in the past, he was usually tactful and gentle. This left her dubious… What is Mr. Rhode up to?

“Huu…”

Mini Bubble Gum chuckled behind her tiny hand. She rubbed her hands together at the sight of the white smoke.

“This day has finally come…”

She muttered under her breath and turned to Canary beside her.

“Big Sister, what do you think of Leader’s character?”

“I don’t know.”

Canary shook her head slightly. Then, she looked at Rhode with warm, gentle gazes.

At this moment, Rhode stood on the vast open field with a solemn expression. Snow fluttered, descended from the sky, and piled up around his feet. Not only that, but there was also snow on his shoulder and head, which proved that he had stood there for a long time. However, he wasn’t mindful at all. In fact, perhaps an ordinary human would have frozen to death or one like Christie who had weak constitution might fall sick. But this was nothing to Rhode. On the contrary, he enjoyed the breeze cooling his heart and mind.

There was only one reason. He was nervous.
