Continue. When the judges permission was given, Adrians lips thinned into a line. His green orbs were fixed exactly on Noah. For about five days from May 2nd to May 7th, I have been next to Eleonora Asil, watching her, confessed Adrian.

What? Hey, when did you Noah trailed off. Oh. Yes, he was. He and I had taken the same train from Lunazel to Battuanu While she was at a loss for words, words flowed from Adrians lips smoothly.

The effect when the pure and unparalleled magic of the dragon is fused with Eleonora Asils own unique powerful magic, in a negative direction, seems immeasurable. Even the defendant herself doesnt know how to handle the dragons mana.

Noah stared at him in incredulity while Adrian only shrugged his shoulders.

I think shes had problems with her magical powers over the past two years. So, she tried to steal the dragons egg and make up for it, but it didnt work out the way she wanted. Oh, like now.

Noah lifted her arms off the desk, startled, and a crack formed on the surface exactly where her hands rested. Moreover, as she glanced at the crowd above as gasps and murmurs erupted throughout the courtroom, the chandelier began to sway dangerously.

Terrified, Noah attempted to pacify herself. Dont think about anything. Dont break anything, dont get into trouble Relax. Calm down. She struggled to empty her restless mind, recalling her beautiful, lazy life back in Sorrent.

But her effort shattered in a snap when Muell, who sensed her emotions, began to stir.

!

The railing which he had been holding onto turned into fine dust and disappeared into the air. The Emperor behind the child gasped, his eyes widening. While the guards rushed to surround the Emperor, Muell immediately jumped from his seat.Clang! An incredible roar resounded throughout the entire room, sending vibrations that shook both walls and floors.

A reporter, who had been sitting in the middle of the courtroom, panicked and fled with a typewriter. At a distance, shock was written all over Kyles face. However, Adrian was as calm as a still lake.

Mu! Without further thought, Noah climbed over the desk and ran to the center of the judges court. She pulled Muell into her arms, embracing him tightly, and at the same time, Adrian also began to move.

Quiet, quiet! The cry of the presiding judge was buried at the screams of the audience trying to escape. As Kyle was about to approach her, Noah frowned in disapproval. She then turned to Adrian. Stalker, what the hell is this? Are you going to put me in jail?

No way.

Muells mana began to spin in the air menacingly. Looking at Adrians unbothered expression, something stirred within Noah. A few days ago, a similar wave of emotion aroused in her when she ran into Lenia in the underground prison at the Bureau of Investigation and Security, and it was annoying.

Do you want me to kill him? Muell, who clung his arms around Noahs neck, whispered to her ear. Indeed, it was a sweet and tempting option. Adrian approached her, still wearing a smile on his lips. Then, he pressed her forehead with his finger. Im on the verge of feeding the dragon.What?

His words froze her momentarily. Taking advantage of her stupor, Adrian threw something beneath her feet, which bounced to her fingers. The next moment, there was an intangible barrier that surrounded them, and Noahs back was pushed against the invisible wall.

Ah!

Adrian grabbed Noahs shoulders and forced her to sit down. Noah hissed, gritting her teeth. What is it, this? What did you do?

A temporary solution. And what Im gonna do now is Adrian pressed his knee to her shoulder to stop Noahs protest and snatched her wrist. With a gruesome click of a lock, a heavy weight clasped on Noahs wrist. The black threads that originated from Muells mana, which was crawling toward Adrians back, shook for a moment and scratched the floor next to Noah instead of him.

Adrian whispered, clutching Noahs neck with his hand. By any chance, have you heard of Obelith Chains?

Hey, you bastard!

This is also your invention, Eleonora.

Cold metal touched her neck. Noah instantly recognized the feeling. What did you put on my neck?

Dont worry. Its not something that would harm you. Adrian stood up, smiling at her one more time.
