It was late at night, and the quiet air filled the house. Recently, the surroundings have become noisy, and the quiet moment has been lost for a long time. Kaiping sat in the study without light, sipping a cup of coffee before going to bed. Looking out the window, the shimmering starry sky made the moment even more beautiful.

However, what is the reason for the loneliness that is drilled into my heart?

It must be because Nia is not around.

In a few days, Nia will reach the foothills of the Misty Mountains.

Will he be uninjured?

Will he feel lonely?

Been thinking about these things lately.

"I haven't grown up either." Kaiping said mockingly, taking a sip of coffee. Then, stare at the starry sky outside the window and try to relax.

The faint glow really calmed the mood, what a beautiful night.

Intoxicated in the longing for Nia, his eyes suddenly moved downwards, and a pair of emerald green eyes appeared in the darkness staring at him.

Kaiping couldn't help spitting out the coffee and coughing. The eyes outside the window disappeared, replaced by Lyot appearing next to Keping.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you."

Kaiping held his throat and waited until he calmed down before looking up at the figure: "Mr. Leot, if you want to come, please come in through the door. I thought my heart was going to stop."

Kaiping's tone intensified, and Leot clasped his hands and apologized sincerely: "Because I don't know who is watching where, I plan to meet quietly."

"I can guess your situation, but this approach -" Before Kaiping could finish speaking, Leot felt a knife light on his neck. That was the spear blade extending from behind, Leot smiled bitterly.

"That's right."

Leot turned around. There, golden eyes stared at Leot.

"As expected of Miss Noel. Even though I had used my power to disappear, Miss Noel still found me." Leot was attracted by Noel's expression.

"What's wrong?" Leot said worriedly.

Noel turned his attention to Keping: "Can you kill him?"

"No. He is the 'Holy Emperor'."

Noel stared at Leot again and put down his halberd in slight surprise.

"You said 'Ah' just now, right?"

"It's too dark to see clearly."

"You're clearly staring at me with your abilities, right?"

"...I'm not good at remembering faces."

"We should see each other often lately, right?"

Noel avoided looking.

"Mr. Leot, please don't bully Noel."

"Well, am I wrong?"

"There's nothing good about a late-night surprise visit, right?"

Hearing the rebuke, Leot apologized dejectedly.

Kaiping put the cup in his hand on the table and asked: "So, what's the matter?"

"Actually, it's about cleanliness in the city."

Keping glanced at Noel. Noel seemed to understand, "There's no one out there," she replied immediately.

Kaiping turned his eyes to Leot: "So?"

"We are now focusing on collecting evidence to attack them once and for all. Didn't you also say that?"

"Yes, I hear you. We will also be alert to the possibility that the Institute may be involved."

"However, it seems that it is still unavoidable to be related to the research institute."

Kaiping tilted his head and asked, "How do you say that?"

"Does any of the researchers have personal relationships with nobles?"

"There are indeed many people. There are also many people who are born into noble families."

"Yeah." Leot shrugged helplessly.

This should have been known from the beginning. After setting out to get things going, Keping offered help.

So why did Leot confirm again?

Keping quickly got the answer: "So that's it. To cover up the evidence, right?"

"Yes, but how likely is that?"

“What about the possibility of outsiders?”

"We have already taken control of the businessman-related matters, and the 'Vice-President' side also has the support of Leonardo."

"Well, the possibility of other guilds also exists, but currently the ones with the largest movement space seem to be those with almost no restrictions."

Kaiping continued: "But..."

"What do you mean?"

"We have arranged for trustworthy people to record our discussions and research with nobles. Although I cannot fully grasp the situation of private contacts..."

Leot narrowed his eyes at Kepin. His gaze was less suspicious than pleading.

Kaiping sighed: "I understand. We will investigate here."

"As expected, it's Mr. Kaiping, thank you so much."

Kaiping replied with a smile, and then said: "But..."

"How did you find out they were conducting covert operations?"

"As soon as I started taking real action, the castle nobles began to behave suspiciously."

Leaks.

"Someone leaked the information?"

"One of the people who told me at that stage, I'm going to find out personally."

Hearing this, Kai Ping showed confusion on his face.

"It's reasonable for them to act in a panic, but it's a little strange."

"you mean?"

"The other party is the 'Holy Emperor', that is, His Majesty the King. They are only acting now. They should realize that it is too late..."

"So they might have other purposes?"

"unconfirmed......"

Kaiping fell into deep thought, and Noel asked: "Are you going to capture the castle?"

"There's no point in that kind of thing, and they'll just end up being kicked out. It might be wiser for them to run away." Kepin crossed his arms, lost in thought again.

Leot also frowned.

However, Kaiping quickly laughed: "I'm sorry, I thought too much."

"The other party is the nobles. They just panicked and started to conceal their actions. In short, we will start looking for suspicious people tomorrow."

Leot smiled back: "Yeah, please."

Three days passed. Kaiping sat in the "director's room" under the setting sun, staring at a stack of papers on Nia's usual seat.

He murmured tiredly: "It's more difficult than imagined."

The institute was originally an institution established by nobles for the famous Raymond Furzbel. Therefore, the traces between the nobility and the institute remain deep.

Although I had expected it, I didn’t expect there to be so many. He looked down at the names listed on the paper, and the screen clicked.

"Come in." Keping responded, and Noel walked in immediately.

"Elsa asked me to help deliver the documents..." Noel said, approaching Keping holding an unbelievably thick stack of documents in his hands.

She placed the file easily on the table in front of Kaiping.

"Thank you." Kaiping said.

"Yeah." Noel replied with a smile.

"But what kind of document is this?" Noel asked this time. Kaiping tore off a corner of the document and raised his face: "The record of recent discussions with the nobles. Check for any omissions."

"Start now?"

"Hahaha, it will be over in about an hour, it's okay."

Noel estimated the number of documents and said to Kaiping naturally. This surprised Keping.
