Lounge

After that, Rudy went back to the castle to see how the renovation was going. He planned to leave for Hel soon after and had no plans of staying in the castle until it was completely renovated.

In the castle, he met Angelica, who was resting in the lounge, alone.

"What's up?" he asked with a smile.

"Just resting."

Rudy sat beside Angelica on the same couch and leaned back.

Angelica quickly changed sides and moved close to Rudy to put her head on his lap.

Rudy chuckled softly and began to caress her head gently.

"What are you planning, Rudy?" she asked.

"Hmm?"

"I know you better than anyone, since I have spent the most time with you. What do you plan to achieve by bringing the lot here?"

Rudy stayed silent for a few seconds but after realizing that Angelica wouldn't give up until he answered her question, he let out a short sigh and muttered,

"I am making allies."

Angelica raised her brows and turned her head to Rudy with a baffled look on her face.
