Guang quickly closed his eyes as his body shuddered more and more as his heart accelerated. But not because you have a sword pointed at you. And yes, because she was even closer to that boy.
The one she thought she got rid of when she hid behind a tree and saw her cousin saying goodbye at the gate. But, who for some unknown reason returned, to the place where before he had been practically treated badly.
And seeing Guang shaking like that, the four guards walked away and, after kneeling down, said "Pardon Srt! It wasn't our intention to hurt her."
The leader bowed and said politely "I apologize for what they did Srt. But if it's to punish someone, please punish me."
Noah, on the other hand, pushed the sword with his two fingers and made that guard who was holding it. It was pushed back and held by its leader.
Annoyed, that guard again raised his sword "How dare you..." And when he was about to attack him again, Guang exclaimed "I thought I said STOP!"
Quickly lowering his weapon, the man walked behind his leader. And after kneeling down beside the others, he lowered his head and said "I'm sorry Srt, I won't do this again."
"Everything is fine. Only…"
"What the hell are you doing?" asked Noah.
Guang turned around and, while trembling, walked slowly backwards "What… do you mean by that?"
"I was doing this on purpose. Just to test these guards. Although I very much doubt that, that overprotective father would leave someone useless, taking care of his daughter's safety."
"So why are you getting into this?" Noah looked straight at Guang's face and body. And as he approached her calmly, "Just like the last time I saw you, you're still shaking a lot. But why? Since I don't…"
"Noah?"
Hearing his name being called by that strangely familiar voice, he turned around. And with a sudden change in his expression, smiling he said "O himself!"
Sophia approached. And as she looked him up and down, she asked "What… happened to your hair?"
Noah took a small strand of hair from his forehead and as he looked up to try and see it, he replied, "I don't really know. Some things happened and for some reason I ended up like this."
'Do not know? What do you mean you don't know? Such an obvious change, even the slowest person would notice and try to find the cause. But how can you be so calm about it?' Guang thought.
Sophia didn't quite believe that answer, but what could she do besides accept it? It's not like they were best friends or anything, so there was no point in her insisting on knowing the truth about it.
She kept approaching "And what are you doing here?"
"Like this? Hadn't I said I'd come back to see her? So I came."
"But why are you here in my room? If I asked any of the employees, they would know where I was."
"Well I…"
"He came all the way here to see the killer they sent after you, Srt." said the team leader.
'And look, we've got another busybody here!'
Standing right in front of Noah, confused Sophia asked, "See murderer? But hadn't you come here to see me?"
"Wait! Because I think there is some confusion going on here."
"Confusion?"
"Well I…"
"Well, while you guys convert, I'm going to go into the kitchen for a bit." said Guang as he quickly left that place.
"Oh yes of course." Sophia said smiling.
'What happened? She seemed to be in quite a hurry, but…'
"So, as I was saying. I came here to see you. But when I spoke to the guards at the gate, they told me that someone had tried to do something to you. And for this reason I came here. I wanted to know who the person was."
"And why, do you want to know about this?" asked the team leader.
Noah turned around and, as he looked directly into his eyes, he replied, "I don't know sir. Maybe it's… curiosity?"
"Curiosity? Did you really think you could…"
"It is not alright. You can let him pass." Sophia looked at the guards who were kneeling "And by the way, why are you like this?"
They all got up quickly and one of them replied "It's no big deal, Srt."
After receiving her permission, Noah walked to the door and waited for one of the guards to open it with the key. Then, after it was opened, he calmly entered the room.
After Noah entered the room, they locked the door again. The team leader bowed to Sophia and then asked "…Sorry for my intrusion Srt, I know it's none of my business, but… Why did you let that boy in so easily? What if he's an accomplice to the killer?"
She sighed, and said "I've told you several times, I don't like it when you do this..." After hearing what she said, the team leader straightened her body and, bending down again said "I'm sorry Srt, I won't do it again."
Sophia put a hand to her face "Yeah, but you did it again…" She sighed and as she looked at the door to the room where Noah was, she replied, "I owe him a lot, my life to be exact. So I guess that was nothing."
"You owe your life…" the leader muttered.
'Ah, so it was this boy who helped Srt last time… I see…'
*********
Two candles on small tables, which were each in each corner of the room, and a bed. That's what was inside the room.
And of course, there was also the boy who was lying in bed while staring at the ceiling.
As he approached the bed slowly, Noah looked at that boy who was clearly younger than him. "So, it was…" And as he approached, he got a big surprise coming from the system.
[Danger!]
[A possible enemy is close!]
Even surprised he smiled 'Interesting…'
