“Sorry I am late. It took me a little time to understand the meaning of that last test. But I hope I am not too late to come to your side, Mistress Rui.”
A tense silence followed Yohan’s announcement and no one knew what to say all of a sudden. Everyone could only look on in shock as Yohan walked into the room.
Especially the head butler and Hobbit looked like they were looking at a ghost. And that had to be given after where they had sent Yohan to. No person was supposed to come back alive from that place.
“You are Yohan Strout? You are a daring man, willing to come late on your first day itself.”
Lady Rui sounded off. She was often described as a ‘gentle’ and ‘kind’ lady who was easy to manipulate.
And she did look like a native fool who did not know how to care about herself at first glance. But there was something sinister hidden behind her innocent face. Yohan saw a familiar darkness and hunger in this lady.
