Chapter 552

The car drove smoothly down the paved road to Ajet, the center of Tezeba.

Noah followed Kyle into the Security Department without much thought. The gray exterior created a sense of intimidation, and there were unusual stone statues on either side of the entrance as if they looked down on the people that entered and exited the building.

A red carpet that didn’t fit in with the heavy atmosphere and scarlet petals scattered over it and a group of servants were lined up along the carpet.

At the end of the red carpet stood a small chubby man with a cape. His cape was such a similar red to the carpet that at first glance it looked like he had it draped over his shoulders.

‘Who is that person?’

While Noah was making a strange face, the people that stood next to the man, all turned their heads towards them at the same time. She felt a little nervous by the serious looks in their eyes.

Even if Noah looked over there, she did not know anyone but everyone hated her.

‘Noah Park, I’m sure you’ll live a long life this time.’

A person who watched from the side with burning eyes strode forward to meet them.

“Long time no see, Baroness Asil. You too, General Manager of the Investigation Security.”

As the approaching man greeted him, Kyle looked frustrated and annoyed. But that was only for a short moment, Kyle greeted the man in front of them in a measured manner. Kyle mouthed a word in her direction and she read his lips.

“The Minister of fi…ce?”

‘Oh, he’s the finance minister. That’s why he seemed extremely strict.’

The finance minister gave Kyle a look and glanced down at her. Noah could see by how he looked at her over his glasses that he held a deep hatred for her.

“You’re still very aggressive.”

He seemed to be eager to start a fight. He clicked his tongue and frowned when she tried to bow.

“If you felt shame you wouldn’t have come back to the capital, but in a sense, that’s great, Baroness. I’d like to be as audacious as you. If I was you, instead of staring at me, I’d at least pretend to be ashamed. Anyway, you’re not infectious.”

The minister’s voice was filled with sarcasm. He was talking about when she fought with Adrian in front of the ministry building.

Nothing was damaged because she didn’t go through with it, but she still felt bad. 

‘I am not infectious? Why do I have to be ashamed?’

While Noah contemplated whether to reply or not, an unexpected person approached them. It was a man wearing a scarlet cloak, who caught everyone off guard as soon as he entered.

Kyle bowed much more genuinely than he had just done to the finance minister.

“Greetings, Your Majesty.”

Who? Shocked by Kyle’s greeting, Noah looked at the man in front of her. The gentleman looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, with soft brown hair and gentle eyes, with a mild and warm impression. He did not seem to have any charisma at all.

“I was just about to go and report, I didn’t know you had already reached the Imperial city.”

“It’s an important matter. I came as soon as I heard that the car had reached the Bureau.”

‘The King? Laurent’s King? Noah gazed blankly at the king as he spoke to Kyle.’

“Oh… no wonder. “

From the moment Noah stepped at the Bureau of Investigation, there was something strange. She wondered why there were so many people that wore the same clothes. They seemed to be a group of servants brought by the king. The fact that he did not summon her directly to the Imperial castle, but that he walked to the investigation and security office himself, means that he was in a hurry.

“Are you the one who hatched the dragon egg?”

“Oh, well…”

Noah missed the right time to answer the king’s words because she was thinking of a reply. The minister got angry right away.

“Baroness! What do you think you are doing? Don’t ignore His Majesty! Answer His Majesty’s question immediately!”

At this point, Noah got angry. She thought that this man would find fault with her no matter what she did, even if she bowed down to the emperor here. Naturally, her answer was abrupt.

“I’m trying to figure out what to answer, Minister, and your wig is crooked.”

“Well, what…”

“You need to move it a little to the right.”

As Noah tapped her forehead, the minister hurriedly moved the wig to the right. It was a lie that it was twisted to the right and in fact, it was tilted to the left, so when he moved it to the right, the wig fell to the floor.

“Oh my God, you’re right.”

The minister’s face became pale and then suddenly blushed red. Unable to find anything to say, he turned around and quickly sorted out his wig.

Kyle grabbed her arm. Noah shot him a glare.

That man again. If she acted like Eleonora, no matter how powerful she is in this country, she wouldn’t be able to do anything recklessly.

To be like Eleonora she would have had to be arrogant and bossy. But Noah didn’t have the talent to imitate her elegance, so she gave up early and decided to take a different path.

She is Park Noah, the queen of destruction.

Noah glanced at the biggest and thickest entrance pillar in the hall. With one glance, she could see the mana was twisted like a rope, wrapped around the pillar, and tightened.

It was a movement that was only clearly visible to Noah and Muel’s eyes but invisible to others.

‘Awesome.’

There was a large crack in the pillar, seemed to be wider than they could have stretched to hold even if they spread their arms wide open.
