Chapter 182
I returned to my room and reviewed Gabriel’s story.
’Gabriel failed to fulfill his duty and lost the first family he ever had.’
Because of that, Gabriel didn’t return to Akbaran and instead wandered around Border City. It seemed like he had even cut off contact with Gilda.
’He must have felt too ashamed to go back to the company.’
Whatever the circumstances, Gabriel had abandoned his post at a crucial moment.
’Gabriel was a more competent bodyguard than I expected.’
Even after becoming a wreck, flashes of his former self still surfaced. It was thanks to his training, education, and accumulated experience.
’Gilda and Giselle have grown apart. That means their relationship isn’t what it used to be. They might even be outright hostile to each other.’
If Gilda had changed that much, approaching her would be extremely dangerous. If she revealed my whereabouts to the upper echelons of the Empire, it would become much harder for me to move freely.
’Giselle...’
I tried not to let my mind wander beyond that name.
