'Evelyn?'

Ace was pleasantly surprised when he saw Evelyn.

Without waiting for another second, he rose to his feet and approached her.

"I came with my master this time." Evelyn told Captain Noah and the others that Scarlett had given them permission to stay in their city.

"I see." Captain Noah uttered.

When Evelyn caught sight of Ace, her face blossomed into a smile. "Ace…"

A soft smile spread across his face after Ace was in front of Evelyn. "Welcome back."

The duo instantly forgot about everyone when they looked into each other's eyes as if they were alone at the entrance gate.

Captain Noah and the others did not say anything when Ace held Evelyn's hands and smiled at her.

The duo always acted like a couple whenever they were together, so Captain Noah believed their relationship was more than friends.

As Ace and Evelyn were looking into each other's eyes, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Evelyn, is he the one who stole your heart?" Aurelia got out of the carriage after throwing a question at her disciple.

Captain Noah and the others instantly shifted their gaze to Aurelia.

'What a beautiful lady!'

These were the words that suddenly appeared in their minds when they saw Aurelia.

Evelyn came to her senses after hearing her master's question.

She immediately stopped holding Ace's hands and introduced her master. "Everyone, she is my master, Aurelia."

"Hello, everyone. I'm Aurelia Dixon." Aurelia did not tell them that she was the palace mistress of Misty Palace.

Ace shifted his gaze from Evelyn to Aurelia.

'So, she is her master, huh?'

Even though Aurelia was a beauty, he could control himself.

He had seen many beautiful women in his two lives, so he could control himself much better than ordinary people.

Aurelia's lips curled up into a smile when she found out that Ace was not charmed by her beauty.

'Interesting.'

This was the first time a man was not charmed by her beauty instantly.

Usually, the desire to make her theirs or the desire to bed her appeared in their eyes after they saw how attractive she was.

However, Aurelia saw nothing in Ace's eyes.

It was as if she was not a pretty lady but a lady with an average face.

"Welcome to our city, lady Aurelia." Ace said as he smiled softly.

"Now I know why my disciple fell into your arms." Aurelia had seen many good-looking men in her life, but none of them as handsome as Ace.

Not only that, but Ace also had a beautiful smile.

In her eyes, his appearance was perfect.

Ten out of ten!

She believed it was easy for him to get a girlfriend because he was so attractive.

"Hmm?" Ace did not get her words.

Evelyn looked at her master.

'Master, stop it.'

She suddenly felt shy after hearing her master's words.

Of course, she did not show it on her face because there were many people around them.

Even though Evelyn looked at her without saying a single word, Aurelia knew what she had in mind. "Young man, can you guide us to meet the city mistress?"

"Sure." Ace agreed instantly.

"Then please get into the carriage because I still want to talk to you." After saying that, Aurelia got into her golden carriage.

Captain Noah and the others opened the path for them. They knew who they were, so they did not stop them.

As they were heading to the city guard headquarters, Aurelia threw several questions at Ace.

Evelyn was her disciple, so Aurelia wanted to know more about Ace because she really cared about her disciple.

"I see." Aurelia uttered.

Aurelia was currently sitting on Evelyn's right side. As for Ace, he was on the opposite side of them.

"Hmm? Is that your statue?" Aurelia was startled when she saw his statue because he was not the lord of Nightshire City.

"Yes." Ace suddenly felt awkward.

"Master, countless magical beasts attacked his city last month, and he was the reason why they could kill all magical beasts, so the citizens decided to make a statue of him." Evelyn knew about this because the citizens explained everything in detail.

"Evelyn, I'm asking him a question, not you. Why do you keep explaining everything in his place? You look like his girlfriend who always takes care of him, you know?" of course, Aurelia was not angry because she knew how close her disciple was to him.

Evelyn looked at her master in surprise.

'Master…'

She then shifted her gaze from her master to Ace.

When she saw him smiling softly at her, she suddenly felt shy and lowered her head.

"It seems like my disciple is really into you, young man." Aurelia stated.

Ace kept smiling while Evelyn kept lowering her head.

Shortly after that, they arrived at the city guard headquarters.

----

A male wolf was trying to sleep in the Framingburns forest. Unlike the normal wolf, this wolf was huge and had white fur.

If Ace saw this wolf, he would know this wolf immediately because they had met before. Not only that, but Ace also teased this wolf several times when they met.

The name of this wolf was Nova, a descendant of a 6-star magical wolf.

"Damn it, these humans!" Nova retorted. "Why do they make so much noise? Don't they know I'm trying to sleep here?"

He tried to go back to sleep for an hour but failed because the noise of residents cutting down trees echoed throughout the area.

*Crack…Crack…Boom…

The sound of several trees falling to the ground reverberated in the entire area.

Nova, who could not suppress his anger anymore, rose to his feet. "It looks like I have to tell them to quiet, or else I won't be able to sleep."

He had tried to be patient for an hour, so he could not hold back his anger anymore because he was really sleepy.

At the same time, the citizens stopped cutting trees because they were exhausted.

"I'm tired."

"Me too."

"Let me take a rest for a bit."

"My hands hurt."

They sat on the ground and breathed heavily.

To their surprise, Nova suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Human, can't you be quiet?" Nova yelled at them as soon as he saw them.

"Magical beast."

"A magical beast appears."

"Hey, run! Run!"

The citizens instantly put some distance between them.

Colonel Louie instantly stood in front of Nova, trying to protect the citizens.

"Are you their leader?" Nova asked when he saw Colonel Louie.

"No. I'm their protector." Colonel Louie was ready to fight Nova at this moment.

"Can't you cut down a tree without making any noise? I can't sleep if you keep making any noise. I'm sleepy. I want to sleep." Nova told them the reason why he complained to them.

"Sleepy? Sleep?" Colonel Louie and the others found it hard to believe what they were hearing.

They thought Nova wanted to kill them because they cut down the trees, but they were wrong.

They were utterly wrong because Nova only told them not to make any noise.

'Did I hear it right?'

That was the question that suddenly appeared in their minds.

"You can cut trees as much as you like, but don't make any noise. I want to sleep again." After saying that, Nova left.

Colonel Louie and the others were stunned again.

'What?! He only told us not to make any noise. He did not attack us?'
