‘What the… How could she come back so soon…’

Nainiae found Riley as about to lie down on the bed She showed Priesia, the one she abducted

"Young Master, first, as you requested, I abducted… her"

Perhaps it was to do the abduction right Priesia had blind on her eyes, and her hands were tied by a rope Nainiae pointed the them off with pride Nainiae took off herpraise from Riley

Nainiae explained that she co Nainiae pointed at Priesia as shaking in fear Priesia carefully said,

"W… Who are you? What happened? I don’t knohy you are doing this all of sudden, but I a careless to me…"

Riley looked at Priesia Duuys friends?’

It see in fear Instead, Nainiae was like a puppy waiting for her master to praise her

"First… untie this"

Riley pointed at Priesia’s wrist and pluht me here, but if you need h Priesia was currently abducted and could not see or hear, she was trying to negotiate with the kidnappers Finding it to be ridiculous, Riley approached Nainiae

"You were not discovered?"

"There were a few guards watching her, but I didn’t want to resort to violence, so… I handled it bytheed her shoulders and said it was nothing Riley looked like he was impressed He looked at her and said,

"It ht you would be waiting, so…"

"You are saying that you abducted ht"

Priesia th in her shoulders and asked,

"What do you want?"

"Miss, it looks like we understand each other Instead of saying things like ‘save ht to the point I like that"

Listening to the belittling voice, Priesia bit her lips and warned Riley

"I’ll tell you this first If you are afterave hi heard what Priesia just said, he stared at her face for a ured out what it was about and said,

"Are you talking about reward placed on you at Solia, Ansyrium and other places? There is no need to worry I am not interested in money"

Riley covered his head with the mask and put his hand on the blind on Priesia’s eyes

"… Ah?"

"Hold still"

Someone’s hand touched her face and her shoulders flinched because of that Priesia was petrified after hearing the threatening words froh the blind was re in fear and had her eyes closed She slowly opened her eyes
