The woman's appearance looks unusually seductive, especially under the moonlight.
She stopped beside Nathan and supported her hand on the railings of the balcony.
Nathan just watched everything without saying a word, waiting for an answer to his question.
Looking at the moon above, a smooth and low voice suddenly came out from the woman's mouth.
"Hmm, I'm just here to breathe some air. I didn't expect that there would be someone else here at this time as well." she said, her eyes fixed at the moon up in the sky.
Nathan stared at her for a while before turning his gaze in the distance and said,
"Is that so? It seems like we're here for the same purpose. I really don't like socializing especially when the place is full of strangers."
Hearing his words, the woman slowly turned her head and looked at Nathan.
The corner of her lips raised a little and she said, "I guess we're the same kind of people, huh."
When her voice died down, the woman snapped her finger and an envelope suddenly appeared on her hand.
Without saying a word, she slid the envelope towards Nathan.
'Is that space magic or is the ring on her finger a storage item?'
'Haa, it doesn't matter, why do I even care.' Nathan said, shaking his head.
He turned his eyes on the envelope that the woman gave and raised an eyebrow.
Nathan glanced at the woman and saw her gesturing with her eyes for him to open it.
Picking it up, Nathan opened the envelope and looked at its content.
Seeing a letter inside, Nathan silently read it.
Suddenly, Nathan narrowed his eyes and a cold aura leaked out from his body.
At this time, two photos fell from the envelope.
It was pictures of the 3rd Princess of Leonel Kingdom, Margaux, and the newly introduced Saint, Natalie!
And the letter that Nathan just read is an assassination commission!
Nathan lifted his head and looked at the woman beside him with unbelievably cold eyes.
The woman was stunned.
The pressure coming out from Nathan was a bit too much for the woman to bear and so, she leaned on the balcony for support while looking at Nathan with pitiful eyes.
She was about to open her mouth and say something but Nathan was ahead of her and coldly asked,
"Who are you?"
Even though Nathan's voice sounded calm, if you pay attention, you will feel the anger behind those words.
Knowing that, stopped acting sassy and forced a smile.
Struggling, she said, "U-uhh, can you release your pressure first?"
At this time, Nathan also realized that his pressure is hindering the woman from speaking so he retracted his energy.
Feeling that the heavy weight around has finally disappeared, the woman heaved a sigh of relief and stood back on her feet.
After wiping the imaginary sweat on her forehead, the woman looked at Nathan with an aggrieved expression.
Stretching out her hand, she looked directly in Nathan's eyes and said, "Kazzandra Fernando, Captain of Leonel's Secret Soldiers."
Nathan shook her hand and responded,
"Nathan."
Kazzandra nodded, obviously, she already knew of Nathan.
Well, she wouldn't have approached him in the first place and shown that commission if she didn't know him.
Not caring about that, Nathan looked at Kazzandra solemnly and asked, "Can you tell me why you showed that to me?"
Seeing Nathan getting directly to the point, Kazzandra also became serious.
She said, "Mr. Nathan, the reason that I have approached you this time is to ask for your help."
Hearing that, Nathan frowned, "Help? What would you need my help for?"
"Mr. Nathan, the Secret Soldier Division is to do things for the kingdom that can only remain hidden."
"Right now, we have been issued with another task."
"That is, to protect Her Holiness, Saint Natalie, your sister."
After hearing that Kazzandra is actually protecting Natalie, Nathan's attitude towards her eased a little.
"Hmm, so what kind of help do you need from me?"
With a serious look on her face, Kazzandra respectfully said, "The letter that I just showed you came from the Storm Empire and was intercepted by our people in the Secret Soldier Division not long ago."
"This just shows that Saint Natalie has already entered the eyes of the Storm Empire and wants to eliminate her."
Kazzandra paused for a moment as a frustrated look covered her face, she continued, "I might be unwilling to say it myself but, we are no match for the people of the Storm Empire."
After saying that, Kazzandra fell silent.
Nathan raised an eyebrow, "If you guys are no match for them, how did you manage to intercept this thing?"
Nathan waved the envelope in his hands.
Kazzandra bit her lips, "That… we only manage to get that after a lot of my people sacrificed themselves…"
"The one they fought was one of the Empire's elites, Juryo."
"That was also the reason why they decided to intercept it this time, thinking that this must be something big for an elite to be tasked to deliver it."
"Without surprise, they were no match for Juryo and died."
"Only one of them managed to escape, bringing the letter back to the base."
Nathan felt the sorrow and anger from Kazzandra's voice as she told him everything.
Feeling sympathetic, Nathan subconsciously patted Kazzandra on her shoulder.
Only when his hand touched her head did Nathan come to his senses.
Realizing he did something inappropriate, Nathan was about to retract his hand.
But thinking about it, he just patted her lightly and said, "You guys are strong."
Hearing such words, Kazzandra nodded and said, "Thank you!"
The two remained silent for a while and just stood there looking at the moon above.
After some time, Nathan finally broke the silence.
He looked at Kazzandra again and said, "So the thing that you want my help with, is it dealing with this 'Elite' Juryong or some other thing?"
