Kyle remained quiet even in the face of the minister’s demanding gaze. The cases unfolding within the Rendia Annex had to remain a secret—even from the Minister of Investigation and Security himself. Whispers in the bureau spoke of the bond between the minister and Adrian Rossinell—a bond so deep that Kyle knew to be cautious of what information he revealed to his direct superior.
The minister let out a heavy sigh. “Prove that the faith I’ve placed in you is not pure folly. Remain in Edmant for the time being.”
“But Minister—my cases…” Kyle let out a weak protest.
“Relinquish the Noviskosha affair and the Rendia Police Department debacle to your subordinates. Compile everything you have on Yurem and Eleanora Aiselle, then report back to me,” he commanded before letting out one final edict. “Do not dare set foot in the capital until you are recalled, Sir Kyle.”
