Chapter 195
Once inside my room, I sought out Macaron first. I presented him with the pastries I’d bought, earning a delighted grin and a flurry of thanks.
With that done, I made my way to the living room. Time to get down to business. I activated my Spectral Seal, feeling the familiar hum of energy as the Noblesee Codex materialized before me. I quickly wrote down questions about Kara Lughen.
The information that appeared was sobering. She was the black sheep of her family, the only one who isn’t an Awakened. Her parents’ disdain had clearly left deep scars.
She tried everything – becoming multi-talented, excelling in various fields – but it was never enough. They always mocked her for her lack of powers. driving her to a desperate act. Offering her soul to a demon god to become an Awakened. Although every deal comes with a price. She did awaken, but at the cost of her true self, becoming a Rogue. The old Kara was gone, replaced by a new, darker identity.
Her family, who had mocked her for so long, suddenly showered her with praise for her newfound, albeit corrupted, power. At first, she seemed to cope, but the darkness within slowly twisted her. She became reckless, ruthless, and became a magnet for trouble.
Now, she was in hiding, protected by her father’s guards and fellow Rogues. The Codex provided her current location: an abandoned warehouse in Nilama, Panja. The place was crawling with not only her family’s awakened guards but also the Rogues she’d allied with.
I closed the Noblesee Codex with a sigh, the golden pages dissolving. This was going to be a tricky situation. The mission required me to eliminate Kara, but I needed to be careful not to harm the humans and if given the chance, eliminate the Rogues.
It’s just sad how Kara decided to sell her soul to the devil in order to be accepted by her family.
Just then, I heard a noise from the room next door. It sounded like someone entering. Kairos must be back. I stood up and headed towards his door, intending to knock and check on Glacier.
"Remillia?" a voice called out from behind me, stopping me in my tracks.
I turned around. My friends were all standing there, watching me with curious expressions.
