Skadi, returning to infinity

"I am worried about Princess Theresa."

Seeing that she had no other choice, Kal'tsit made up an excuse.

Even if Skadi were slow-witted, she wouldn't believe this excuse.

"His Majesty is safe, as you should know."

Skadi pursed her lips, her eyes fixed on her, still not letting go.

Is it safe?

"probably."

"Doctor, you continue with your own work."

"I need to go to the medical department to take care of some things first."

Kal'tsit tried to evade the question, but Skadi's eyes were fixed on her, making her feel a little guilty.

So as they talked, they started thinking about finding an opportunity to run away.

As long as I don't let Skadi ask, she won't know, right?

"Kal'tsit, you can't leave."

As Kal'tsit walked around the table and ran past Skadi, Skadi reached out and grabbed her left hand, stopping her.

"PhD?"

Looking back at her, Kal'tsit, who seemed to show no emotion, actually possessed a wealth of delicate thoughts.

"good…"

He pulled her forcefully into his arms, letting her head rest against his chest.

Skadi soothed her gently, as if she were a child.

"Miss Skadi, are you showing off your figure?"

Kal'tsit was a little confused at first, but she quickly became annoyed.

Is she mocking me for not having as big a chest as her?

This is also something that Kal'tsit is somewhat sensitive about; when her mind is in turmoil, she can't help but think about random things to cover up her chaotic thoughts.

"No, Kal'tsit, I just wanted to hug you."

Skadi whispered something in her ear.

As she said this, she suddenly stuck out her little tongue and licked Kal'tsit's ear.

"Ugh..." Kal'tsit was about to speak, but after being licked like that, her body went limp.

“What…what do you want to do…Miss Skadi, you…you should have some self-respect…”

Kal'tsit's attitude softened this time.

Her assertiveness towards Skadi was based on Skadi not being tough on her.

Once Skadi really hardened her stance, Kal'tsit naturally softened.

After all, she had always harbored feelings for him, but she just wouldn't express them.

Now, faced with Skadi's attitude, and with her ears being gently licked, how could Kal'tsit remain calm?

Chapter Forty: A Gentle Kiss, A Deep Kiss

"Miss Skadi... what... do you want to do?"

Kal'tsit's face was buried against her chest, her warm breath seeping through her clothes onto her skin, tickling and soothing.

She struggled, but she couldn't break free from Skadi's embrace.

While struggling to leave, all her movements looked like she was being coquettish.

Skadi let her struggle for a while, then continued to whisper in her ear:

“My dear Miss Kal'tsit, I am now in charge of our relationship.”

"You can't escape my embrace, just stay put."

She didn't use her arms, but given her physical abilities, Kal'tsit had no way to resist.

Kal'tsit knew this too, so after trying to break free but failing, she sighed softly, turned her head to the side, and allowed herself to breathe properly.

"What do you want, Skadi..."

It's not "Doctor" or "Miss Skadi," but "Skadi."

The change in address, from official matters to personal matters that made her feel bad, and finally to personal matters that she was willing to confront directly, made Kal'tsit's change quite predictable.

Let me hug you.

Skadi said the previous sentence based on Ai's reminder, but this sentence was said by herself.

"Let me hold you."

"I know you're upset, but I don't know how to resolve it."

"So, it would be nice if a warm embrace could make you not have to think about these things."

What do you think...?

She whispered in Kal'tsit's ear, as if it were a murmur.

"Whatever you want, I'm tired anyway."

Kal'tsit wanted to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she couldn't utter a single one.

"My mood seems to have become a bit complicated, but I feel okay..."

"At least I'm okay now."

She said she didn't care about Skadi, but deep down she felt something was off.

It seemed like she was happy, but it also seemed like she was attached to something.

Unlike others, Kal'tsit, who is among the top figures in both Babel and Rhodes Island and is also a core member of the medical department, must demonstrate her fortitude.

Only in this way can she put other people's minds at ease and prevent them from worrying about anything.

Otherwise, if a leader like her cannot remain calm, it will affect the will of those below her.

In the Tower of Babel, Theresa is the true core and face of the organization, the spiritual pillar for everyone.

The "Doctor" is the anchor of the Tower of Babel; as long as the Doctor is there, everything can be solved, and there is no need to worry.

Precyth is the pillar of the Tower of Babel's hidden side, controlling the Tower's intelligence and information.

Kal'tsit is the figure between the three parties, and also in charge of the medical department.

Although she is not responsible for leading troops into battle or for intelligence analysis, she is responsible for handling many things within the Tower of Babel, and the agents all respect her.

Now that it's Rhodes Island, Theresa is nowhere to be found, and Skadi, the Doctor, isn't here either. Kal'tsit is basically taking over most of the things they used to do.

Fortunately, Skadi had been preparing for this day for four years.

None of this happened suddenly; rather, it developed to this point naturally.

Therefore, the decisions Kal'tsit really has to make are mostly about important matters.

The simple tasks were all handled by the administrative team that Skadi and Theresa had trained together.

This administrative team was present in both Babel Tower and Rhodes Island from the beginning, but neither performed very well.

Skadi herself didn't know how to train, but she had a system that allowed her to directly exchange for relevant information and materials.

With just 1000 units of willpower, they possessed what is arguably the most complete and suitable method for training Rhodes Island's administrative team for the future.

The biggest cost in training this team is actually time; they don't care much about anything else.

On the day Babel became Rhodes Island, this administrative team called Silverwing Gauntlets was already in operation.

In addition, there is the [Golden Feather Scimitar] team responsible for military operations, the [Hundred Mile Merchant] team responsible for commerce, the [Iron Wall] team responsible for Rhodes Island's security, and three secret teams that are not yet publicly disclosed.

One is the [Nightwalker] team, which integrates all the intelligence personnel and purge teams from Rhodes Island, and is fully managed by Precys.

One is the [Spirit Cat] team, which is Skadi's direct subordinate and is responsible for cooperating and liaising with forces outside of Rhodes Island.

The last one is the Holy Knights, a team unknown to everyone on Rhodes Island except for Kal'tsit, Prestis, and Theresa. They are Skadi's direct subordinates and are specifically used to do some shady things.

The Holy Knights are scattered throughout Rhodes Island, but none of them know each other's true identities.

Many of the later famous operators joined this team, willing to give everything for the Doctor.

Several other departments are currently being established and will be opened gradually as Rhodes Island's business expands.

With so many departments here, Kal'tsit has nothing to worry about.

She doesn't get tired, and she doesn't need to force herself to do things she can't do.

She could even slack off after drinking coffee and signing some documents in the office every day.

So Kal'tsit was less tired and more shy, and was just making excuses.

“Kal'tsit…”

"Little Kal'tsit".

Skadi didn't say much, she just held her and whispered her name softly.

The more she acted this way, the more shy Kal'tsit became.

If I imagined myself being held in her arms, I wouldn't be able to see my own expression at all.

I reckon Kal'tsit is already considering whether she should find a place to crawl into.

Of course, she didn't expect that Skadi could tell what kind of expression she had just by using her senses.

Perhaps it wasn't that she hadn't thought of it, but rather that she deliberately ignored it.

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing...

"Doctor, if you have nothing else to do, please let me go."

Kal'tsit stayed in her arms for almost twenty minutes, and was almost blushing from the fragrance emanating from her body.
