章 106: [Evalyn Meadow Skye]

"So it was just a concussion to the top of her skull. That's it?" Kaze asked after hearing the story.

"Yes." Jake confirmed, looking at Veronica hesitantly.

"It doesn't seem like there's permanent damage." The emperor commented.

"It's just a normal attack that instantly healed. These things happen, so we should just be thankful it didn't require drastic action, as it would be dangerous."

"These things happen." The regent chuckled bitterly, "You mean like turning Veronica against me for a test?

I know that's what that was, and that test almost killed her.

Is your lack of trust so great that you'd risk Veronica's life to test it?"

Veronica turned away from Jake, ashamed because she was the guilty party that accepted the job.

Kaze frowned and reached out to touch the man's shoulder but drew his hand back, seeing his regent preparing to slap it out of the way.
