"Anything?" Duke Lune quickly stood up and asked when he saw his personal bodyguards, Henry came in.

"Forgive this servant, master. There's no news about miss yet." Henry answered while bowing.

Those words is like a thunder to Duke Lune, he sat back down heavily and massaged his temple, heavy sighed could be heard.

"Okay, leave me alone." Duke Lune speak softly and Henry leave the room after giving a respectful bow.

Duke Lune take out a picture of a woman from a drawer of his study table. The woman in the picture looked like Clair but appeared more mature, her eyes sparkled as if there is light, in her arms is a baby girl with a laughing cheerful face.

"Rose, our child left home, she looked angry when I met her this morning, did I do anything wrong? Is she angry with me? Rose, tell me what should I do, you leave us suddenly like that, I don't even know how to take care of our child."

Duke Lune hugged the picture and a sad tears slowly flowed , damping his cheeks. Suddenly, an owl flew to his window and called out.

Duke Lune stared at the owl curiously and realize a container with a symbol attached to it's leg. He get up and untied the container from the owl's leg.

The owl immediately flew away after the container is untied from it's leg. Duke Lune sat back down and observed the symbol on the container.

'Isn't this the most powerful and mysterious informants guild?' He thought, then immediately open the container , a note came out and he read the sentence in it. 'She's safe, don't worry.'

Duke Lune stared at the sentence blankly, he felt relieved but at the same time he is confused. 'I didn't ask for their help, so why... Is it because she is with them?'

Duke Lune become more and more certain with his thought and immediately felt relieved as she is safe. He called in his guards and told them to stop searching, just obtain information secretly to know her whereabout.

Kyle smiled and slowly tugged her hair to the back of her ear and lean in, their distance immediately closed up making Clair slightly flinched.

"You're cute, your face is alluring and your reaction is seducing me." Kyle whispered. Clair shivered when she felt the warm air blew to her ears making them redder.

Clair accidentally made eye contact with Kyle and her body went soft, she looked down and bumped her head to his shoulder. Her heart thumped loudly like it was about the burst out.

"Stop.. You're making me crazy, I might died because of excessive blood rush." She spoked weakly, her voice sounded hoarse and alluring, making Kyle enticed and blood started to rush to a certain part at his lower body.
