Let me ask you one thing. The deal was established, but Noah still held reservations. She grabbed Adrians arm, pointing to the restraint that was fastened to her neck, and asked. This, do I really have to wear it around my neck?

The chains werent thich, but the material was metal, so it was heavy and painful. However, before those, somehow Noah couldnt get rid of the shame of wearing what looked like a dog collar.

Adrian replied, chuckling softly. No, not necessarily. You can have it on both wrists, or you can wear it around your ankles.

But why did you put it on my neck?

Thats what I like. Adrian jiggled his keys playfully. His green orbs, gazing at her neck, darkened for a moment. He then pressed his finger on the chains, causing Noah to cough. When she glanced at him, Adrians lips were almost watering.

And quite handy.

I dont think its a bad idea. What do you think?

Shut up, you pervert. Frustrated and annoyed, Noah kicked Adrian in the shin.

*Kyle wasnt very fond of the chains on her neck. After the chaotic trial, they left and headed to Eleonoras home, and Kyle only glared at her neck the whole time while they were in the car.

However, Noah was preoccupied with another matter, moving on from the shame of her dog collar. What would it be? The little bastard sitting on her lap, staring at her with big, round eyes. As Muell was about to fling his arms around her, Noah coldly refused, looking the other way. Seeing tears brim in his eyes made Noah guilty and weak.

Noah, youre angry?

Silence.

Im sorry

Noah assumed that the childs apologies didnt really mean that he understood his mistakes. She knew it was time to make a change in her teaching methods. No matter how much she said, Dont do this, Dont do that, it was still futile.

So, what do we do She glanced at Kyle, who sat beside her, still staring at her wrists and neck alternately.

Oh, I have a good idea.

You know, sir. Can I ask you a favor?

What is it? asked Kyle, who still hadnt taken his eyes off the chains.

Its about Mu. I dont think my teaching methods work. I want you to help me.

How?

Id like to have him tour around the Bureau of Investigation.

Huh? Kyle asked, finally lifting his head, and looked at Noah.

I thought he couldnt understand because my instructions were only talk. If he needs to learn the rules and laws between humans, hed better see them with his own eyes. The Bureau of Investigation is full of criminals And youre such a principled man. Wouldnt Mu have more to see and listen to when hes next to you?

Thats right.

Noah had already prepared a lame excuse lest he refused her request. But, surprisingly, Kyle agreed without much persuasion.

She stared at Kyle, who had fixed his gaze on her neck once again, and suspected he had answered without listening to her.

Kyle immediately added upon noticing, I think thats better. Mu had been doing some really, really naughty things in the Imperial City for a few days and I was thinking about coming up with a solution.

What did he do?

He destroyed the Majestys office, climbed up the highest spire in the Imperial City and destroyed it, too. On Noahs lap, Muell bowed his head down in shame, sniffing. Then, he spoke softly, his voice almost muffled. Even though I was surrounded by all kinds of things, I was only looking for you all the time, so I went around and asked

Finally, Noah faced the little boy and squeezed his plump cheeks. You troublemaker. Alright, it was a bunch of accidents. If youre good, Ill let you go back to your main body.

Im sorry

No, Im not going to talk anymore. You broke our promise and got into trouble, so you follow Uncle Kyle once a week

Please pay attention to the title, Miss Noah.

Follow Mr. Investigator, see what punishment youre going to get for breaking human laws, and write a letter of apology, okay?

Kyle touched Muells forehead, and the child stuck out his mouth with a puff. Noah pressed her palm on his cheeks, saying, Its no use making such a cute face. You and I, we will have a special training starting today. Do you understand?

Aye!

You answer well. Sighing, Noah played with Muells cheeks. Not long after, the vehicle that carried them entered the heart of Azet District.

Far away, Eleonoras mansion appeared.
