Chapter 23

Gulp.

Judiel swallowed harshly.

'Why? Why is that boy here...?'

She couldn't understand why Raon Zieghart, who should've been sleeping, was standing behind her with a sword pointed in her direction.

'Ugh...'

She wanted to try and grasp the situation, but she couldn't even breathe-let alone try to think-when she saw the red eyes reflected in the lake.

She felt like her heart was being crushed, as if she was meeting the eyes of a murderer that had taken hundreds and thousands of lives.

"I know someone has been observing me since the day I returned to the annex building."

"Hup..."

Since the day he returned... That meant that he'd noticed her gaze from the very beginning.

'No. No way.'

She had been trained as a spy since childhood. That was why she was confident in her ability to hide her presence better than anyone else.

There was no way a mere child had discovered her identity and caught her off guard.

"Open your mouth."

"Ahh..."

Raon's words weren't a suggestion, but an order. Judiel trembled and opened her mouth.

"Guk..."

His finger pushed past her parted lips and forced something down her throat.

"Kyah!"

She screamed. A pain-like an awl piercing her esophagus and stomach-shot through her.

She sniffled. Her stomach felt like she had just swallowed flames, to a point that she felt the urge to peel away her belly.

Splash.

Leaving Judiel, who was writhing in pain, Raon entered the lake and brought back the dark blue paper.

Rustle.

Raon's eyes darkened as he unfolded the paper.

"This isn't normal paper."

"Hup..."

Judiel shut her mouth. Despite the agonizing pain, she wasn't going to yield. Her pride as a spy wouldn't allow it.

"..."

Raon Zieghart nodded after staring into her eyes for a while.

"Water. Earth. Fire. Wind."

He suddenly started naming the different elements. He appeared to be looking for a way to investigate the paper's content, but she couldn't understand why he was speaking aloud.

"...Sunlight. Moonlight."

"..."

The answer was moonlight, but Judiel didn't react. Biting her tongue, she endured the stomach-rending pain.

"So, it was moonlight."

"Huh...?"

She felt like her heart was jumping out of her mouth. Raon Zieghart had said the correct answer immediately after meeting her eyes.
