What did I have to be afraid of when the strongest being in the world was sitting contently on my lap? Beyond that, there was also the man smoothly edging back into his seat in front of me, flipping through incident reports with a bored face as if he hadn’t just threatened to kill someone a few moments ago.
Although I was petrified at what might be waiting for me in the capital, the most dangerous beings in this world were already sitting right here with me.
“Turn off the fire while I am still asking you nicely, Miu,” Kyle spoke coldly, his gaze unmoving from the papers in front of him. With a pointed glance, his attention turned in my direction. “Miss Noa, will you tell me your secret now or not?”
I sighed, knowing I couldn’t put off the inevitable any longer. “I’ll tell you. But you have to promise not to treat me like a raving madwoman after.”
