Chapter 367: Not that far

[Main Mission: Escort Mary to the imperial city within 30 days, 0/30]

[Note 1: Discovered key item to main mission, rating greatly increased]

[Note 2: Extra rating boost if Mary arrives at the imperial city unharmed]

...

The words piled up in Kieran's vision.

Kieran was looking at the goatskin scroll that was sealed with a heavy layer of wax in surprise. It piqued Kieran's curiosity; he wanted to see what was written inside, but he knew what he should do at that moment.

He grabbed a side of the secret order and handed it to Mary.

Whether it was her mother's death or the high tower that was set ablaze, it was all because of this scroll. Kieran understood that Mary should be the one to open the secret order.

Even more so, the main mission from there onwards was directly related to her.

Kieran was not willing to protect a little girl that he had estranged feelings against.

Who knew what outrageous deeds her childish nature would commit?
