About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, Midday Knight faces an intimidating ordeal as Orson interrogates him, determined to gather information about the Sangster family and the Intelligence Bureau. Maria, concerned about Orson's methods, is unaware of the violent actions he has already taken in the past. Despite Orson's lack of experience in interrogation, he successfully extracts some crucial details, including the existence of an independent armed group under the Sangster family. Orson collaborates with Alina, the Acting Secretary-General of the Unified Integration Movement, to cover his tracks and ensure that Maria remains safe from suspicion. Alina, previously a caretaker, has become a skilled infiltrator with enhanced abilities, helping Orson create a red herring to mislead the Sangster family. As they discuss their next steps regarding the complex power dynamics in Kasimir, including various factions like the Commercial Union and the Supervisory Court, Orson realizes the need to leverage the knight competition to gain notoriety and manipulate the situation to their advantage. His thoughts are interrupted when Maria shyly asks him to sleep with her, leading to a humorous yet awkward exchange between them. Maria, anxious and inexperienced in romantic matters, is tentative about her feelings, leading to further comedic misunderstandings. Once inside Maria's room, Orson is surprised to find unexpected items like a bench vise and technical books that reflect her passion for mechanics. Their conversation shifts to the novel "Don Quixote," which resonates with both of them as they contemplate goals and perseverance. The chapter closes with them feeling more at ease in each other's company.
