After Rain's
Episode 25: Searching for Information
Sirius dialed a number on the remote to change his various television channels, filling it almost entirely with Breaking News about the shootout that occurred on the streets.
What happened to this country to ordinary people could easily get a gun, he thought.
For a moment he looked at his watch as he muttered, “it's almost five."
He thought about calling Polaris to let him know if he was waiting for him in the lobby later. He got up from his couch to his room to pick up a cell phone that was being refilled.
“What he can't wait to see me,” while smiling pick up the phone.
He didn't give his phone a vote because in this country he really wanted to spend time alone and Bryan had taken care of his company there.
“To.. toloong..please me,” voice Polaris.
“What happened? Do not hesitate to joke..” is not finished he spoke, he heard a loud voice like banged very clearly.
“Heiii... haloo... halooo... say what happened?”
Tuuuttt….
The call suddenly broke. He tried to contact Polaris again but was not removed and repeatedly did so but was not active.
“How could it have been connected now instead of dead, huh!!!” his yell.
“Sial.” He sat down at the end of his bed and then he hurriedly took his phone hoping it was Polaris but it turned out to be this call from Aquila. It just so happened, he thought.
“Iya..”
“Hai... do you have time?”
Sirius pensively weighed whether he would ask about Polaris or keep quiet, “Halo..” Aquila tried to call Sirius.
“Ah yes..Possibly any event,” the answer is doubtful.
“So yes..” from his voice sounds disappointed.
“Is there anything important?” Sirius tries to get attention.
“Ah... no, just papa invited you to attend the Crown Prince banquet,” Aquila explained.
“I'll think about whether I can attend or not.”
“Alright then if you intend to attend just contact me. I'll pick you up,” her voice is a little bit cheerful back.
“Oke.”
He sat down again thinking about the word “tolong” Polaris in his phone earlier, is it true he is in danger. But if so why the palace is still holding a banquet or maybe they have helped Polaris.
All the speculative things he tried to raise in his mind even the possibility of the royal family hiding this from the public also appeared in his speculation.
Whatever it is, if it's almost six o'clock Polaris hasn't shown up yet and the number is still off, the only way to find out about what's going on with Polaris is to go to the palace in person.
Minute by minute he waited it was not nearly six o'clock. Rather than make him curious it was better to attend the palace banquet. He grabbed his phone, dialed Aquila's number and it didn't take long for Aquila to pick up her phone, “Halo.
“Ah. Yes, I changed my mind. I can attend the banquet today,” he said rather clumsy.
“Alright, wait a minute I'll pick up,” said Aquila sounded happy.
“Sorry to trouble you.”
Then he prepared to dress formally as usual in his fancy suit and black pantofel shoes. It only took a moment for him to prepare like this.
He almost forgot, tomorrow he also had to attend dinner with the family of Prince Regulus.
This time is not an ordinary dinner because both parents will also be present and if not mistaken will likely discuss the issue of engagement. She looks all over her body in the mirror, “perfect,” while tidying up her hair.
“Attomance only. Nothing to worry about, can be canceled at any time,” said himself while looking in the mirror.

In a dark and stuffy room even to the sound of drops of water is also able to be heard by his sense of hearing. Me where?
His head was very dizzy like circling let alone the limitations of the air he inhaled for some time he felt he was not in this world but if so how could he still feel his body that felt all pain.
Several times he heard a door opened, perhaps the door of the room he is currently occupying or another door. The footsteps of people who walk back and forth, the voice of men who are chatting or laughing loudly, all he can hear although faint but he can not see anything.
His body curled up in coldness with a rope that shackled his hands and feet even his mouth seemed to be gagged with duct tape that was firmly stuck.
The feeble groans of him did not help much but if they wanted to finish him off and eliminate him they should not hesitate and leave him for too long.
Perhaps God was kind enough to let him breathe to see what they had planned or God was showing him to his own death in plain sight.
Again, he heard the footsteps of shoes seemed to be more than one, “how is it?” ask a man in a clear voice.
“You want to see it? We left it in this room.” Another man with a hoarse voice. If his guess was right the one with the clear voice was the one who had a lot of money and power, hearing the man in a cold voice speak formally to him.
Huh.it's cold.
If he is still in his country Magellan means he is feeling the cold floor because of the rainy season. Maybe they had deliberately let it slowly vanish from the cold.
“I'll show you,” sounds the key playing, a few footsteps popping in. He tried to stay still so as not to make them suspect he was aware and could hear their conversation.
One of them felt stepped forward and smelled the aroma of fresh mint perfume. If they hadn't covered his face, he'd have opened his eyes so he could've cursed the man who kidnapped him.
If only his mouth was not covered he could scream for help or at least bite them until they bleed. But now he chose to be quiet waiting for them to make another sound to each other.
“Support it out of the country. Tomorrow morning I'll set up the ship for you.”
Whahuh? They want to sell it?

“What are you trying to plan? You want to go back to that woman?” victoria shouted, she followed wherever Saga's footsteps went.
This King type room is quite spacious and complete almost like an apartment, “stop ignoring me Saga!! I'm your wife,” Victoria grabbed Saga's wrist who was busy putting her tie on.
“What do you want Victoria? You're jealous of Polaris it's your own problem,” said Saga coldly.
“You must want to see him again, right?”
“Victoria, what is your business I met with whom. I told you that you could marry me and have the position of queen. But he could never have a king. Don't make me explain it again,” explained Saga while wearing her suit in front of a large mirror regardless of Victoria who continued to follow her.
They're used to it like this. No day without a fight when they were both, Saga never started a fight first but Victoria with her spoiled nature can never think of adulthood so usually just sue Saga.
“Don't dodge every time I get angry! Act like a man, Saga!!” Victoria screamed again.
Saga exhaled violently, looked at Victoria and got close to her ear, “and be the Queen I can be proud of. You always humiliated me, being around you never made me feel comfortable, ” whispered he then left Victoria.
