145 The One and Only Sun

THE SUN was almost up when Kiho finished "interrogating" the people who tried to attack the mansion last night. When he was done, the basement where he imprisoned the assailants was painted with blood. He hated that he had to come back to this kind of job. But he would do anything to protect his family.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: I'm willing to become a bad guy for Tilly. And now, for Winter, too.

"I'll take care of the rest, Your Grace," Captain Denver told him. "Please take a rest. You must be exhausted."

"I'm fine, Captain Denver. Thank you for worrying about me," he said while wiping off the blood in his hand using a white handkerchief. Then, he tapped the captain's shoulder. "I'll leave the rest to you, Captain Denver. I'll ask Miss Luna to assist you."

"That would be helpful, Your Grace."

"After I check on Tilly and Winter, I'll come back so the two of you could rest."
