“There won’t be another woman who’s as good as you, sweetheart…”
“How are you going to repay me then? Hahaha…”
Aurelia nearly threw up from where she was on the bed.
She could clearly hear the pair make out, and they seemed to have gone out before louder moans came from next
door.
Aurelia’s heart thumped. She carefully removed her blindfold and looked around. The room was on the second
floor.
She did not know the building’s structure, and there might be guards downstairs. She might as well jump down from
here.
A few seconds of hesitation later, she made up her mind with closed eyes and jumped off the window! She sprained

Living 18 years in Melorian, she was long familiar with the streets there, even those anonymous alleys.
Aurelia turned left and right, not daring to look back or stop. She did not know how long she had been running when
she finally arrived at the main road.
It was midnight, but the busy city center was still bustling with life.
Aurelia hid in the crowd and panted harshly, finally able to slow down.
A few steps later, though, a hand suddenly held her shoulder.
Aurelia screamed and felt her heart leaping out. She snapped around and grabbed the hand to bite it.
“Argh!”
She froze and loosened her jaw. Why did the voice… sound so familiar?
She looked up timidly and saw herself being surrounded by bodyguards, who were all staring at her in disbelief.
The man she had bitten was speechless in pain, glaring back at her as he covered the back of his hand.
“U-Uncle!” Aurelia was frozen for a moment before she mewled shakily like a kitten.
Her tense nerves broke down completely as she dove into Neil’s arms and cried heartbrokenly.
“Uncle, uncle, help! They caught me and wanted to launder money…”
Having been bitten by Aurelia, Neil was disgruntled, but he could not help lifting a hand to stroke her hair softly,
saying automatically, “It’s okay, I’m here. Don’t be scared.”
“Uncle!”
Aurelia was bawling and was going to tell him something, but her vision blacked out and she fainted in his arms.
…
Cordelia was outside of Aurelia’s room a long time ago. When Neil came out, he nodded at her with a smile.
After finding out that the bodyguards had lost Aurelia, he had immediately given chase with his men from

Fortunately, those men were skilled in looking for someone, so they soon found Aurelia around the city center.
“Is she okay?” Cordelia asked in worry.
“She’s fine,” said Neil. “She was just frightened and starved for two meals, so her blood sugar was a little low. The
doctor said she’ll be alright after she sleeps and eats something.”
Cordelia breathed out in relief. “Looks like my premonition was right. I just felt that going back this time…”
She stopped mid-sentence and looked up at Neil.
“Actually… Aurelia is a kind and cute girl who’s smart and skilled. If she could have some kind of immigration status,
she’d be able to find a job and make a living. She won’t have to live like this.”
“Mm.” Neil agreed with a hum.
“It’s actually the same wherever she is.” Cordelia continued to probe. “She knows two languages. It wouldn’t be a
problem where she lives, right?”
“What are you getting at, Cordelia?”
“What I want to say is, if Aurelia has some sort of immigration status, you and she will have a different end.”
Neil’s heart jolted as he met Cordelia’s shiny eyes.
