Chapter 628: Are you really a pervert...?

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

An awkward silence followed the elder's statement as Noelle just stared back at their group blankly, looking neither embarrassed nor apologetic.

Had it been any other 'junior' from their clan, they would have definitely been crying and begging on their knees to be forgiven by now, and the elders would have still been unforgiving, but Noelle wasn't someone who could be measured with the same stick.

After all, she was the ray of hope who might be able to lead them out of the dark quagmire their clan was currently trapped in, and that alone gave her the right to do as she pleased so long as it didn't cross their bottom line. Not to mention, if they really pissed her off, there was no telling how Emilia would react.

Compared to jumping off a cliff that they couldn't even see the bottom of, wasn't it better to simply continue riding this ship peacefully, even if it was a bit wobbly and unstable?
