Selva hopped off the carriage as it halted at the cargo docks before the Finder could assist her out from the carriage. Her hair and coat swayed along as the wind blew. Surveying her surroundings, she took note of three gentlemen standing across her, who seemed to be waiting for her to arrive.

"Miss LeStrag, you should have waited for me to help you get down from the carriage." The Finder looked down from the driver seat, with an irritated look plastered on his face. He was upset that Selva was not letting him to perform his job properly. The Finder turned his attention to where Selva laid her eyes on. He saw three gentlemen in their opposite direction and spotted Tyki Mikk, a Noah within the gentlemen.

The Finder was appalled by the sight of the younger Noah. Cold sweat started to form on both his palms and feet. He warned Selva about the Noah family as suspected that the two other gentlemen could also be a Noah or they're affiliated with them. He also added how vulnerable they are in their current situation, without her Innocence with her, she was incapable of defending herself. Not only Selva did not heed the Finder's advice, she instructed the Finder to park the carriage somewhere else and stay put until everything was over.

"Please, it's my job protect the General away from harm!" The Finder begged Selva to let him stay by her side, to protect her.

"It's just a small business talk. If anything happens, I can activate my innocence. I'm pretty sure it is inside one of these cargo boxes. Now, move!" Selva shooed off the Finder whom reluctantly followed her order and rode off to away with the carriage. Her intention was to remove the Finder away from the conversation she was going to have with the Duke, just in case the Finder informed the higher ups at the Order about her conversation between her and the Duke. She had a plan. Once the carriage was not in sight, Selve shove her hands into her pockets and approached the three gentlemen with forethought.

From distant, the Earl saw a figure approaching towards their direction, he mentally identified that it was Selva and informed the Noah brothers that their guest has arrived, alone as promised. With each step Selva took, Tyki was restless. It was only a matter of time before his identity would be exposed. And if she managed to get out of this meeting alive, she might informed the Order about Momo, Clarke and Eeze relation to him, to the Noah Family. Tyki bit his bottom lip nervously. The Black Order do not treat those related to the Noahs with kindness. He avoided as much eye contact as possible with Selva, silently hoping that she would not recognise him.

Weird. Why aren't they armed? The first question that came to her mind as she scrutinised the three gentlemen. Soon, her eyes were darting around the cargo boxes, searching for any opportunity for ambush. While Selva was surveying the environment the Earl was watching her behaviour and concluded that she was indeed, cautious. Her train of thoughts was broken by a husky sound, apologised to her for a last minute meeting at an unfitting place for a lady like her.

"I'm sorry this was on such a short notice, Miss LeStrag. Thank you for coming." The Earl curtsied to Selva as she was in his sight.

"Please don't worry about it, Duke." Selva curtsied back to the Duke.

"Don't take it the wrong way, but are you armed?" Selva questioned the Earl as she locked her grey eyes on the Earl.

"Armed? Oh, please. I'm not planning on "teaching you a harsh lesson" or anything similar to that. Don't worry." The Earl spread his arms to show what he meant. To the Earl, the lady who stood ahead of him looked as though she posed no threat. Yet, she managed, not only to buy all of his stocks and his brokers' stocks, but also push them back to their country all in one night. He couldn't fathom out how she managed to do it.

Bullshit. She thought as she squinted her eyes at the Earl's previous sarcastic gesture. The Earl was obviously fooling around with her. She knew by his gaze that he was just toying with her, like a puppeteer with strings.

"This is the Minister, Sheryl Kamelot. I'm pretty sure you know him. And to my right is…" The Earl continued by introducing the next gentleman to Selva. Tyki's heart was racing. This was it, he was hoping for an opportunity to kill her. Tyki did not care if she was the one who helped him find Eeze. As long she she posed a threat to any of his family members, he was prepared. Prepared to even kill her.

"Tyki Mikk. He is the younger brother of Sheryl."The Earl finished his introduction. Tyki swallowed his saliva, causing his Adam's apple to bob up and down. He averted his gaze as Selva was glancing at him. I see. Now that explains why he seems to be avoiding me. Something clicked in her head as she continued to stare at Tyki. A small grin formed on her face.

"It was a pleasure to meet the two young gentlemen. But I fear I have to warn you. Suspicion developments will be answered in kind." Selva placed her hand on her chest, mimicking the Earl's previous sarcastic gesture. "You're dead if you don't obey", huh? Selva thought the Earl was ungentlemanly for bringing two backups with him and one of them was a famous assassin for the Noah Family who was also a guardian of a kid. She could not wrap her head around Tyki Mikk about this behaviour and character. Why was he acting differently?

"Don't be so stiff, Miss Lestrag. By the way, may I asked why a pretty young lady like you would doing this on the Order's behalf?" This was the only bit that the Earl was curious about Selva. And also the only bit why the Earl kept her alive until now. The Earl was also able to understand why Tyki had troubles with her. No matter what he said, her guard was strong and up. No signs of falter. Selva answered the Earl that she simply volunteered herself to do it because following the Order's "normal" mission was a bore to her, but the Earl did not buy that.

"I should have realised when we first met. That face of yours, is a mask." The moment the Earl spoke that sentence, Selva's grin immediately turned into a frown.

"Then I assume that you know what are my intentions when I drive your supporters back to their country. I would expect nothing less from The Earl of Millennium. Or should I say, Adam?" At that, both the younger Noahs were on edge when the they heard Selva spoke of the Earl's true name. Meanwhile, Sheryl was aching to break every single of her bones for disrespecting the Earl. It was disrespectful, unacceptable. Tyki bared his teeth, poised to attack but The Earl raised his hand up to signalled for the younger Noahs to calm down.
