Chapter 319: Catching the Culprits
Arabella stayed in Ferdinand’s room in Estrella. She focused on doing work from Riva that had been piled up due to the assassination attempt. There was a lot of work to do so she busied herself even though Ferdinand told her to rest.
She didn’t want to be the only one doing nothing while they were busy catching the culprits so she wanted to work hard too. Ferdinand thankfully agreed to let her work, though, only after a lot of convincing.
After she was teleported to Estrella, everyone set out to do their tasks to capture Jacob and Adolfo and rescue the Prudencians they were hiding.
But even though midnight came, there were still no reports so Arabella continued working.
Arabella began to get nervous as another hour passed with nothing. She distracted herself with more work when she began thinking something may have gone wrong. But she soon ran out of work to do. She unbelievably finished all the work that had piled up.
When she had nothing else to do, she got even more on edge.
Rendell and Aletha both told her she should sleep. But with how nervous she was, Arabella was sure she could not sleep.
However, when her eyes, hand, and back hurt from all the work she did, she decided to lie down for a bit and get some shuteye.
Surprisingly, she fell asleep and when she woke up, it was already morning and Ferdinand was beside her. He was watching her sleep as usual.
"What happened?!" Arabella instantly sat up.
"What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Ferdinand was alarmed and sat up as well.
