Chapter 455 Facing Danger

"Tsk! You don't seem sorry at all!" Nova said in a louder tone as she approached Vicente. "Are you telling me that you wouldn't have told me your secrets if you had the chance?"

"Exactly," Vicente said bluntly.

"You!" She felt like punching the guy in front of her, seeing how bold he was to answer her like that.

"What about Nina? Does she know who you are? Are you hiding the truth from her as well?"

"Of course. Nina is a child. Why should she know who I am? As far as I'm concerned, she will never know my identity as Cesar, just as I wanted it to happen with you. Unfortunately, I couldn't protect you from this information."

"Protect me?" She made a more irritated expression. "I don't want to be protected that way. Besides, if I had known who you were from the beginning, you wouldn't have had half your problems so far!"

Vicente smiled. "Oh? Would you have helped me?"The source of this content can be connected to n0v3lb!n★

"No. I would have put you on the right path. Vicente, with your powers, you don't need to sully your name by acting under Cesar's identity! You'd be successful at anything! Why did you choose this way?"

"I did what I knew how to do. I was successful, so why should I have thought of other things? I'm sorry, Nova, but not everyone wants to or can live to serve others. The things I want to accomplish can only be accomplished if I have my freedom and plenty of resources at my disposal."

She knew this because she had already started investigating the situation of the names Vicente had asked her to look into earlier.

She turned her back on him, not knowing how to debate it. "Then I could have at least advised you. If I'd known everything before, I could have helped you in some situations. Do you know I got you into trouble because of my mistrust of Cesar?"

"I know."

"That wouldn't have happened if I had known who you were." She said.

Part of the trouble she had gotten Cesar into had come from her instincts. She had no proof to make the situation difficult for him. She would still be a fine soldier if she hadn't used her instincts in connection with those incidents.

The Colonel looked in the direction where he had already sensed Vicente and noticed more deeply the young man sitting in a meditation position at the back of the cave.

'This young man is wounded and has only two pentagrams...' He easily understood Vicente's situation.

"Where is his pentagram? Does he have a special storage device?" He asked Nova.

"Yes, that's the case. Fortunately, he managed to kill the beast that left him in this state."

The Sovereign didn't doubt it when he saw that Vicente was dressed in army uniform, which was badly damaged and stained but not bad enough to be unrecognizable to this expert.

'It seems that they really are just soldiers taking the promotion exam...' The Sovereign believed Nova's story, feeling that his senses had led him in the wrong direction.

'It seems that the person behind that other aura is better than I imagined.'

He turned and said before he left. "Captain Bain, well done. Even though this is a competition, we must protect our army colleagues. I won't forget your good deed today."

After these words, the man disappeared, leaving Nova, who didn't know what to do in this situation since she had probably protected an enemy of the army and still gained morale for it.

She turned to Vicente and asked him. "Are you going to explain to me why you're wearing an army uniform?"

"No. I'd better not." He said sincerely.

"Sigh... All right. Start absorbing your pentagram. I'll protect you until you're done. After that, we'll separate."

"What about..."

She said. "We will sort out our situation in the future. For now, just give me some time to think about everything."

With that, Vicente would wait just long enough for the Sovereign not to feel the green pentagram and finally start absorbing his third essence!
