I dont have anything to say to you.

You should know why youre here. Kyle sighed and loosened his grip on Noah. His hand, which wandered near her shoulders awkwardly, eventually fell to her back, and began to pat softly.

At his embrace, Noah was somehow scared of the familiarity. There was only one person in the world who knew Park Noah other than Muell, and if Kyle didnt take her side Noah didnt even want to think about it.

She didnt even want to make such an assumption. The damn butler didnt even know a grain of his masters unstable state of mind.

I was wrong. I thought you would be alright. Kyle sighed over Noahs head.

Look at me, you dont know! Noah spat out incomprehensible words, holding back tears and hiccups. Betrayal, uh, betrayal, this. Im just a regular Ugh.

Yes, an ordinary person. I forgot for a moment. I shouldve told you beforehand, but I didnt have the time.

Ive never even been inside that Imperial Palace

Of course. How would you get in there? I just needed a statement to be sent to my superiors right now, so I made a plausible alibi. Its okay. Its no big deal.

Kyles black shirt was soaked with tears. There were hundreds of things that swirled in Noahs head, but there were only a few she managed to sputter. Lenia, release Youre trying to get rid of me instead, you son of a b*tch

Kyle managed to understand and answered right away. Its not like that. This is driving me crazy. Why are you so imaginative about this?

Then why are you putting the blame on me!

Its a long story. If you stop crying, Ill tell you. Please stop. Why did this suddenly happen to the one who came down bravely at the bottom of the ship?

The gentle strokes on Noahs hair pacified her emotions, her breathing gradually becoming regular. However, her temper immediately flared at Kyles ignorant murmur.

Ive put away everything thats really dangerous No weapons here.

Shut up, you son of a b*tch! Im just scared of the prison itself!

Kyle laughed as Noah punched him in the shoulder, forgetting to cry. Youre still alive.

If you keep talking, the next is your stomach.

No thanks.

When her tears finally stopped, Kyle held her shoulders and leaned back slightly, looking at her face. Noah snorted and glared at him.

When she first started to cry, she was embarrassed and didnt know what to do, but now she was laughing. Kyle laughed along as he wiped the tears under her eyes with his thumb. Since when have you had so many tears?

Cry more? Would you like to drown in a womans tears today? Noahs nose was so stuffy that an unpleasant nasal sound came out. Kyle looked kind of pitiful, raising her chin a little and wiped her cheeks with a handkerchief.

Thats a cute threat. But I know that was the last of it.

Anyway, its really If youre surprised, you shouldve told me right away. I thought it was okay because the tape recorders were turned off.Do you think Im insensitive to everything? I want you to treat me with care. Youre disqualified as a butler.

Thats good news. Blow your nose, too.

Noah looked at him, proudly blowing her nose into Kyles handkerchief. Since she fell into their world, Noah had shed tears only twice: when Kyle pointed a gun at her and now.

Come to think of it, its both because of this guy?

Noah narrowed her eyes and warned Kyle. Dont make me cry again. If you surprise me one more time, Ill treat you as the main culprit for disturbing my peace and rest. Im going to sign you as my real butler for life.

Ill have to keep that in mind. Look at me. Raise your head. As if he wasnt satisfied yet, Kyle cupped her cheeks and scrutinized her face. In Noahs perspective, he seemed to be assessing the messiness of her appearance.

She opened her squished mouth and asked in a hurry. What happened to Lenia?

Thats a bit of a hassle. Kyle sat her in a chair and seated across her, after he had decided she was a little clean and presentable now.

The light expression he had a while ago disappeared, and with a slightly nervous look on his face, he gave Noah a piece of statement. It belonged to Lenia.

Lenia Valtalere refused to confess. Somehow, when we were on the ship, she never opened her mouth. She was completely consistent.
