Chapter 17: Training[1]
"Lady Ericka, about the information gathering, young Master Noctis suggested a few days ago an idea of his," having remembered his talk with Noctis back at the restaurant.
Brad reported everything he heard from Noctis and included his own suggestions in the plan.
"Hmm, I suppose that would help in some way; you can go ahead and buy that auction business. It should cost a couple of bits." Holding her chin, she nodded as she thought about it.
"Okay, both of you are dismissed. I will be on my way to the training room." Stretching her hands back, she walked away while gesturing with her hand for them to leave.
A few minutes had passed since she instructed Nox to run around the training room. Walking in the hallway, she glanced around, feeling a little nostalgic.
'Adric is dead, Lily has vanished, and now Grace has left as well; where and how did this tragic sequence of events even begin?' Only the sound of her heels clicking was heard as she made her way, her head staring at the ground, feeling melancholy.
'Grace, you must have found some leads to Lily, right? or else you wouldn't have left little Nox here. '
'For the past few months, I couldn't find the perpetrator who was behind this little assassin group, but now that I have a few leads, I'll make sure to pay them back as much as possible for what they've done to your family, Grace.' Ericka's face tensed for each second, clenching her fists so hard they started to turn white, her mana rioting inside her, responding to her intense rage.
Having nearly arrived at her destination, she let out a deep sigh, calming herself. She entered inside.
The training room of the Nightryn's family was quite large; she spotted a small figure running slowly, breathing heavily as if he was deprived of oxygen.
"Oh boy, this is a little worse than I thought." Murmuring to herself, she rubbed her temples while making some quick adjustments to her training plan.
