"Something has happened to Mr. Kooper."
Kisa noticed the blood stain on Davian's shoulder while he was speaking.
"You're hurt?" she asked, alarmed.
Davian glanced at his shoulder hastily and said, "It's just a small injury. Come with me, ma'am."
"To... To where? What happened to Gilbert?"
'Since Davian is Gilbert's personal assistant, something terrible must have happened for him to be in so much panic. But he's the Gilbert Kooper; who'd dare to lay a finger on him?' she wondered.
"Let's leave the questions for later, ma'am. Come with me and leave for Cathon right this instant, " Davian said with worry.
"How about Gilbert?"
She thought of Gilbert's warning before he left.
Then, she said hesitantly, "I think I'll wait till Gilbert gets back."
"Mr. Kooper has already returned to Calthon."
"What?"
Kisa instantly felt an inexplicable sense of dreadfulness and unjust.
'If Davian didn't come to me, I would've been waiting for Gilbert here like an idiot,' she thought.
Davian tugged Kisa toward the door, "Let's go, ma'am."
Once again, Kisa broke free from his grasp.
"Gilbert said he'd be back! What's happened to him?"
"This all happened because Anthony Mullen kidnapped Miss Case! Mr. Kooper got hurt while saving Miss Case. Thankfully, he managed to escape with Miss Case; they're currently on the way back to Calthon."
