章節 738: The Observer

The Light Commander, Barbora Hoarfrost, was the name and title she used to introduce herself. Arthur shook his head when asked for a name, and it was enough for the old woman to understand. Babo was the name that Li Xue and Little Yin called her.

"I never imagined that she likes you enough to protect you using her body," said Babo, and Arthur agreed. "The thing that happened here should remain a secret, as everything else you saw."

"That is a part of the job," nodded Arthur. "I won't pry either."

"Appreciated, but it seems that foolish girl is infatuated with you, so it will be hard to keep you away. How about we go for a walk?" said the old woman before taking Arthur out of the guest room and through the gardens of her mansion.

The two were silent until reaching a riverbank. The stream was powerful, pouring directly into the ocean. Old Babo strolled to sit on a stone bench before glancing at Arthur to sit beside her.
