Rebirth Of The Duke's Daughter

Chapter 120

ZH knew that it was about time to get up; he couldn't stay any longer in his room with Mila. Even though he wished that he could, they had duties that needed to be handled. ZH smiled, looking at Mila sleeping in the bed without waking up when he kept lightly rubbing her cheek while she flicked it away with her hand like it was a fly bothering her. Chuckling, he found her still amusing to watch while she slept. Opening his palm, he had a ring appear from thin air and land on his palm. Putting the ring onto Mila's finger, he kissed her hand. "Sleep well, my love." He soon left with Mila keeping herself cuddled in the warm blankets that lay on top of her.

Going ahead, he met with Theo and Noah, who patiently waited for him in his office. "Did you enjoy your little time?~" Theo gave a mischievous smile, seeing how ZH looked satisfied.

ZH looked at him, but if he had to admit that Theo didn't allow Mila to drink, then they wouldn't have resulted in that. "What's the current status with that woman?" ZH sat down at his desk, looking at the two. Going to the main topic, he did not want to talk about his matters with Mila since he did not want them to get in between them both.

"We've used the truth serum, and she had confessed that there was, but only one leader. They do not recall ever hearing about his real name, but he resides alongside the emperor in the Mireraweth kingdom." Noah said, sipping his tea which was placed in front of him while he sat on the couch in ZH's office.

"Tsk! Always has something to do with the Mireraweth kingdom. They probably did something to make their curse already affect them." Theo grabbed a snack to eat that was on a platter on the table. "They brought the trouble on themselves."

"How is the woman now?" ZH didn't know if her mind had gone insane now. He wanted to be able to get more information out of her if she was not insane yet.

"With the after-effects now, she is, after all, insane. There is no way to get any further information." Noah gave him the truthful answer, which ZH did expect sooner or later it would happen.

"Since she is insane now, then there's no more need for her. We need to find out who that leader of theirs is. Since he resides in the Mireraweth kingdom, then we need to go there and find him ourselves. He resides near the emperor, but many are among the emperor of Mireraweth. Any one of them can be the leader, so we will have to be cautious of them." ZH needed to try and find a way into the Mireraweth kingdom once more, even though he had left that kingdom.

"If he is one of the emperor's close men, then the emperor would know about this. We should keep an eye on them. They may be skilled, but their kingdom itself has been crumbling for some time." Theo was clear about how the emperor of the Mireraweth kingdom didn't care about his people. Yet, he had men working with him to 'manage' the people of Mireraweth kingdom. "This is getting troublesome for us. It will be hard to find the information there. This can cause a huge war if we go there as spies."

"Theo, are you able to go there?" ZH looked to Theo, who shook his head since it would not be possible for him. Being from another kingdom, the Mireraweth Emperor would grow suspicious and could kill him, or the leader there could manipulate him like the children.

"I doubt someone like me can go there. We need the emperor's trust, and we cannot do that unless we are from the Mireraweth kingdom. That emperor would do as he pleases since it is in his kingdom. He would do all he can to hurt others from another kingdom which I fear he would not be merciful if one of our own went there." Theo sighed, knowing that it was the sad truth.

"If so, then I may have to go there myself." ZH stood up, looking out his office window, watching the calm morning. He knew that it would become a struggle, but he needed to find the culprit behind it all.
