Nora and Justinâs identities had already been exposed in front of the others, so they headed to the airport together.
However, Justin still wore a black mask and moved like King.
Justin drove while Nora sat in the passenger seat.
After a while, his phone suddenly rang.
This was Black Catâs phone.
When he answered, a womanâs familiar voice came on the other end. âBlack Cat, are you back?â
Nora: â?????â
No, seriously, what was the Queen doing?
She had just called her to ask if Black Cat was back, and now she was calling Black Cat to ask if she was back!
It wasnât as if she was going to disappear, was it?
The corners of her lips tightened and she replied, âYes, Iâm back.â
âOh, thatâs great.â
After saying that, the Queen let out a sigh. âI was worried that you might have been caught and stopped by Nora Smith. Her eyes are really sharp. Youâd better keep your distance from Kingâ¦.. By the way, I forgot to tell you that King and Nora Smith are in a relationship, so youâd better not mess with them. You didnât see how infuriating Nora wasâ¦. She really used me to trap someone! Iâm so angry! If she wanted me to cooperate, couldnât she just say so? Iâm not an unreasonable person, I think sheâs putting me in difficult situations on purpose! Of all people, why was my strongest bodyguard the killer?â
Nora: ââ¦â
The Queen rambled. âAm I bothering you by talking so much?â
Nora was about to answer âYesâ when the Queen continued.
âYou agree with me, donât you? Nora is too pretentious. The way she behaves like sheâs on high itâs like she doesnât take anyone seriously⦠forget it, I wonât complain about her anymore. I used to like complaining about her best, but I find that even complaining about her is boring nowadays. ouch!â
The corners of Noraâs lips tightened. If it was so boring, why was she still talking so much?
The thought had just formed when she suddenly heard the Queen speak again.
âAside from making sure youâre safe, Iâm also calling because Iâd like to confide in you. In fact, Iâm a little sad.â
Nora: â?â
They werenât so close that they could trust each other, were they?
Even though it seemed like an annoyance to her, she asked, âWhy are you feeling sad?â
Nora was definitely not the type to utter that phraseâ¦..
The Queen said, âBarbarian, my bodyguard⦠you know who he is, donât you? Iâve always thought of him as my little brother. Watching him grow up and seeing him become my strongest bodyguard made me very happy. But unexpectedly, he turned out to be a serial killer.
Did you know that? I looked into it just now. I thought if heâd never killed anyone in the UK, then Iâd turn a blind eye. But do you know how many people heâs killed? Heâs killed almost a hundred peopleâ¦with over a dozen of them from the UKâ¦heâs my younger brother, but those people are also my subjects. As an older sister, I can cover up for my younger brother, but as Queen, I cannot allow the murderer to go unpunished, so that those who have died cannot even rest in peace. The two roles, an older sister and a Queen, keep switching back and forth in meâ¦. You know? This is the first time I find something a little difficult to handle. I donât know what to do.
Iâve dealt with ministers who have betrayed me, but I never thought he would betray me too⦠heâs never betrayed me before. No, thatâs not right. Killing my people is no different than betrayalâ¦â
The Queen rambled on and on, making Nora dizzy.
Finally, the Queen asked, âDo you think Iâm right?â.
Nora replied, â⦠Yes, yes, you are.â
âGosh, you understand that Iâve been put on the spot too, donât you? I knew you would understand. Youâre so much better than Nora. Sheâs a heartless woman. I once confided some of my worries to her, but she fell asleep just listening to me. ha, she thinks of my worries as a lullaby?â
Nora, who was falling asleep: â???â
âAll right, I have to go. Thanks for listening, Black Cat.â
When she finished, she hung up immediately, not giving Nora a chance to interrupt her at all.
âWeâve arrived at the airport,â Justin said warmly as he looked at her twitching face.
