Jean rushed to the window.
Finished
She reached out and pushed it open; almost immediately a gust of wind blew past her. A blurry shadow darted in like lightning. Jean blinked, momentarily stunned.
She instinctively closed the window and turned around; Ludwig was already standing calmly in her bedroom.
Dressed all in black, his hair dark as ink, the sharp ends of his bangs accentuating his porcelain. skin, making it look even paler.
The boy parted his lips slightly, a flicker of light shining in his dark eyes. “Jean, I’m here.”
“You got here so fast… Jean’s eyes widened in awe.
Ludwig tilted his head lazily like a sleek black cat. “Because I felt you were in a hurry.”
“You didn’t seriously climb down from the roof, did you?” Jean asked, pointing to the window.
He nodded. “Something like that.”
“You’re really…” Jean stopped mid–sentence.
She was about to say he’s really matuch with the name “Rebel Sprout,” but then she decided to let it go.
“Aren’t you curious why I asked you to come over all of a sudden?” Jean asked, noticing that Ludwig didn’t seem to care or question her at all.
He stood there expressionless. “I don’t need to know.”
Then he gave her a rare smile, a strange contrast to his cold, pale face. “My job is to protect you.”
Loyal enough.
She couldn’t help but wonder what kind of spell the Abyssal Choir had cast on Ludwig.
He obviously had terrifying powers, but he willingly let himself be used by the organization to protect someone as insignificant as me…
Jean shook off the thought and came straight to the point. “I need to go abroad. To Northara.”
She pressed her lips together, her forehead furrowed in concern. Her voice became serious. “I’m really worried. This trip won’t be easy. It might even be…
Controlled by someone behind the scenes.

But it wasn’t.
This was man–made.
There is a hidden force operating from the shadows, something I don’t fully understand.
I don’t know if going to Northara with Sienna will attract the attention of that force.
But if it does, we will be in unimaginable danger.
That’s why I want Ludwig to come with her.
Only with him by my side can I feel a little bit safer.
At least, I will not be completely helpless.
“So you want me to go with you?” Ludwig raised his eyebrows, his eyes dark and deep.
Jean nodded seriously. “I need you to protect me.”
Finished
He met her eyes, deep and sincere. He reached up and ran a finger through his hair, his cold lips curling slightly. “Of course. I will even if you hadn’t asked.”
Just then, voices echoed from below. It sounded like someone arguing.
Jean frowned and walked over to her door, leaning sideways to listen more closely.
She recognized Sienna’s voice.
And Matheo’s.
He came back?
Jean turned to Ludwig and lowered her voice. “I’ll go check. Stay here and be careful not to be
Scen
Ludwig found her warning amusing. His sharp eyes glittered with playful defiance. “I’m not the kind to get caught.”
Jean said nothing further. She opened the door and stepped out.
She stopped at the top of the stairs instead of going down.
From here she could clearly hear the fight between Matheo and Sienna.
“Why can’t I go?” Sienna’s voice was tight with anger, her rage practically burning in her eyes. “Do you even care if our son is alive or dead?”
Matheo let out a deep sigh and tried to sound reasonable. “Sienna, it’s not that I don’t care. I just don’t think it’s necessary for you to go. You can send someone else‘

I’d never heard of anyone surviving a plane crash.
To put it bluntly, going there is just to pick up the body.
And that isn’t something either of us should be involved in.
Too morbid. Too unlucky.
Going overseas just for a dead person? Not worth it.
Finished
“Send someone else?” Sienna scoffed coldly. Her eyes shone with unshed tears. “He’s my son. My flesh and blood!”
She narrowed her eyes and clenched her fists. “Matheo, I never realized how cold you really are…”
Matheo’s eyes widened slightly.
A tremor ran through his chest. Panic crept
Not now, not yet.
- in.
I really didn’t care about these children. Even if they died, I wouldn’t feel a thing.
But I couldn’t let Sienna see that
Her words right now were thick with emotion and suspicion.
I had to be careful, or she’d figure me out.
“I didn’t mean it that way, Sienna.” Matheo’s voice softened instantly. He lowered his eyes and pretended to be sorry. “I’m just worried about you….”
He tugged at the corner of his

His message was clear, Sienna could go on her own. He had no intention of going with her.
Sienna’s expression didn’t change much. Her lips were pressed together, her face tense. She stared at Matheo, her gaze deep and icy, hiding a frost he couldn’t see.
If I weren’t so tied up with everything right now, if the timing weren’t better, I would have ripped off his fake, disgusting mask right then and there
Sienna took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
She bit her lip. Once her emotions had settled, she looked at Matheo calmly and said, “You don’t have to worry about the company. I’ve arranged everything. As for the house…” She paused.
A thought suddenly struck her.

A flash of icy light crossed her eyes.
If he dared, then he better be ready for hell.
