Chapter 117:
It's Not Impossible
In the evening, Aiden, accompanied by Franda, inspected the core area.
"Come at me, you waste! Watch how I skin you alive!"
"Trash boss, crawl for me!"
"Strongly demand more food in the cafeteria!"
Tonight, Veronica was not on duty, and after Aiden had spoken to Carmilla before, she had not paid much attention to this matter. The core area had once again returned to its chaotic state.
But today, Aiden wasn't concerned about them.
"Has Priscilla been moved to the prison cell?" Aiden asked Franda beside him.
"Yes, in the evening, the medical office said there was no need for her to continue lying there, so we followed the procedure and brought her to the cell. As you instructed earlier, we placed her in room number twelve," Franda replied.
Aiden strode through the corridor and arrived directly at room twelve.
"Ah, Warden, good evening," Dailey greeted Aiden as he stood at the door.
"Where is Priscilla?" Aiden asked Dailey, noticing only her leaning against the gate.
"She..." Dailey hesitated, turning aside to let Aiden see deep into the cell. "She's still curled up inside."
Aiden fixed his gaze and saw Priscilla huddled on her bed at the back of the cell, staring warily at Dailey, her eyes full of hostility.
However, upon seeing Aiden, her gaze noticeably softened.
"I don't know why, but since she arrived, she doesn't want me near her. No matter how I try to comfort her, it doesn't work," Dailey said helplessly.
"she has no memory after all. Suddenly being locked up in the core area from the infirmary, and sharing a room with strangers, it's normal for her to be nervous. She'll get used to it," Franda remarked calmly.
Perhaps it's not just for this reason... Aiden thought to himself.
Dailey was an S-class wanted criminal that the Inquisition Bureau had spent considerable resources to capture, and Rebecca, had also been involved in the operation to capture Dailey in the past, so she naturally knew Dailey.
If the person inside Priscilla now was the Rebecca who had lost her memory, and if deep down in her consciousness, impressions of certain people and things still lingered, then in Rebecca's eyes, Dailey would undoubtedly be someone to be wary of.
"It's not impossible. Should I let you out now?" Aiden suddenly responded.
"Exactly!" Franda instinctively agreed, then paused, "Huh?"
"Warden!?" She turned abruptly to look at Aiden, with a look full of surprise on her face.
"It's fine, go ahead and let her out," Aiden signaled for Franda to open the door.
Franda hesitated for a while but eventually opened the cell door as instructed, allowing Priscilla to step out.
"Warden, what are you..." Even Dailey was a bit stunned.
"Don't worry, for today, I'll take charge of her," Aiden reassured them with a wave of his hand.
"Wow! Lord Aiden, you've finally come around!" a surprised exclamation came from room thirteen across the corridor.
The Succubus Fei leaned against the bars, gazing intently at Aiden, her tail wagging excitedly.
"Lord Aiden, I want to come too! Let me join in!! Since you've found one already, why not add me too!!" She grabbed the bars, bouncing up and down enthusiastically, urging Aiden.
Aiden turned his head, "Well, I was just about to call you. Come out as well."
"Oh, don't say that..." Fei habitually tried to be persuasive, but then realized something was off, "Huh?"
She stared at Aiden in disbelief, her expression one of astonishment.
"I said you come out too, Franda, open the door for her," Aiden instructed his subordinate.
"Warden? Are you serious!?" Franda sought confirmation from Aiden.
"No problem, open the door for her," Aiden insisted.
Franda, with a head full of question marks, opened the cell door, and Fei immediately sprang out like an arrow, "Lord Aiden!!"
Aiden swiftly maneuvered behind Priscilla as Fei lunged forward and embraced a bewildered Priscilla.
"Tsk! Wrong target!" Fei realized her mistake and roughly pushed Priscilla away.
"Behave yourself!" Aiden warned Fei timely, pressing down on her as she tried to lunge forward again.
"Got it, got it, let's wait till we are in your office, right?" Fei said eagerly, "No problem! I can hold back a little!"
