I Raised A Black Dragon - Chapter 581

Kyle sat, and then reached and flipped through a thick stack of paperwork. He didn’t even look at Noah and beckoned dryly.

“I told you to sit down. You know that one of the things I hate most is wasting time.”

Noah looked at what was on the desk and bit her lip. There was a pen, some ink, a typewriter, and a small recorder.

She struggled to adapt to the sudden cold attitude of Kyle’s, however, she guessed there must be a reason for the sudden change. Noah took a deep breath and sat on the chair. Kyle glanced at her then he returned to looking through the papers.

“I’m going to investigate your alibi today. Every word, action, and breath is being recorded, so please answer carefully.”

“…Yes.”

“First, what’s your relationship with Lenia Valtayer?”

It wasn’t the question she expected. When Noah hesitated because she had nothing to say, Kyle snapped again.

“What is your motive for threatening Lenia Valtayer on the Angelic ship? “

“What are you talking about…?”

“In addition to Lady Valtayer’s statement, we have completed the on-site verification. You trespassed into Lady Valtayer’s room and tried to harm her. “

Kyle pushed a couple of black-and-white photos towards Noah. One was a picture of the cabin room door knob completely broken, and the other was a picture of the cabin floor completely distorted and wrecked. Noah clenched her fist and stared at Kyle.

“I never did that.”

It was hard to distinguish whether he was genuinely asking, or if it was just a show for the others.

“Why did you try to contact Yulem again?”

“Why did I do what?”

“You were at both scenes, the train attack on Edman and the Angelic ship’s mana storage explosions. You’ve already illegally distributed high-risk chips with built-in self-destruct devices in Yulem. What do you get from stealing the dragon and forming a contract with it? “

“I didn’t! No, I didn’t in the first place. I…”

‘…I didn’t steal Muel! Why is this suspicion established?, damn it!’

Something was heating up in her head again. Noah’s emotions didn’t feel as extreme as when she met Lenia earlier, but she still felt like she wanted to punch the man who sat in front of her.

Muel’s mana that filled her dependably followed her will again this time. The iron desk that was fixed to the floor started to shake.

Noah felt as if something kicked her foot under the desk. She blinked, abruptly coming back to her senses.

“Oh, sorry.”

Kyle calmly apologized and fixed his posture.

“The wall of the imperial defense was dismantled and neutralized. Then you entered and took out the dragon egg, which was stored in the incubator, you then came out again, restored the imperial defense with a central mana device, and went back to Sorrent… .”

“Wait, wait a second.”

In a flash, an alibi for crimes she didn’t even commit was completed. Kyle moved on to the next question without giving her a moment to panic.

“Did you have an accomplice? “

Tap. The strength was weaker than before, but she still felt Kyle kick her leg under the desk again. It was stupid to think it was a mistake at this point so Noah tried to calm down and ignored her anger when she replied with clenched teeth.

“There was no accomplice.”

“So you committed the crime alone. Why did you imprint the dragon?”

“…he’s cute.”

“Yes?”

“Because he’s cute. Because he’s pretty… I wanted to live with him. Why? Can’t I?”

“Let’s write that down.”

Noah leaned against the back of the chair with her arms folded waiting to see how far Kyle would go. Kyle didn’t hesitate and continued with his questioning.

“Was the reason you contacted Yulem to secretly test the dragon’s mana? Is that why you got caught by me on your way to Edman? “

“…Yes.”

Noah struggled to read Kyle’s intentions. It appeared that her crimes were increasing…. she started babbling nonsense, in the hope that things would turn out better.

“It was just for fun…  I just wanted to play with a cute baby. The fact the train broke and the ship stopped working, I swear I didn’t know. I just wanted to spend my life quietly.”

Kyle typed every word of nonsense that she babbled. His eyes were still cold and sharp. 

“Then again, why did you threaten Lenia Valtayer?”

“I didn’t mean to threaten her…”

The feeling of injustice rose within her. Why do you keep overlaying things I didn’t even do? What made you say this when you promised to clear me of the charges? Noah bit her lip till it nearly started to bleed and continued.

“It was just an accident. Since he’s a dragon, there are times when I can’t control him. I’m sorry if she took it as a murder threat. “
