Who Spent the Night with the Tower Master (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 17
Riley was suffering from a high fever.
Despite consistently giving her medicine, the fever wouldn’t subside easily. Still, her complexion looked better than when she was first seen.
Gibnen, though busy with his schedule, stayed by Riley’s side instead of returning to the Mage Tower.
“Shouldn’t we send her back to the Eadallin mansion now? The Ministry of Magic has issued an official notice instructing her to report to them immediately upon returning to Blasstige.”
“What happened to that old man?”
“He was released and ordered to remain at home.”
“As expected.”
“When we arrived, weren’t the assassins just about to assault her? Because of that, Count Ermeintz apparently claimed he never directly harmed her himself, and that the assassins suddenly turned on him, threatening him and committing those acts.”
“And they actually believed that ridiculous excuse?”
“It seems they’re keeping things quiet.”
“Make sure Riley doesn’t find out about this.”
She would be deeply heartbroken if she learned Count Ermeintz received no punishment at all.
“If we’d truly wanted to drag Count Ermeintz to court, we should’ve arrived a bit sooner. The timing was poor. Or perhaps we could’ve deliberately waited even longer…”
Gibnen turned his head to look at Riley’s sleeping face.
She looked much thinner than before—clearly worn down emotionally over that absurd love scandal.
