The Chapter 54 Steyfano Marcues

We got home later. The car entered my yard. I got out of the car while carrying Karel. And Eliza followed.

"You want to go in first?" I tried to offer him to come into my house. Even though I don't want to.

"Can" said.

The door was opened by Eliz, and everyone entered the old house. That guy, or maybe I'll call him Thony now. He sat on the sofa with an astonished face. What should be amazed?

"I didn't expect. This old building is full of beautiful memories. All the super expensive antiques are in this house. Edward was very smart to choose a design."

Your eye.

I don't heed his words. I went up the stairs to go to Karel's room. I heard Eliza say with her.

"What do you want to drink?" So ask politely.

"Ah.... You're Marcues' daughter too? I never saw you. You're so pretty. But the color of your skin is very different from all the descendants of Marcues. Are you the kid Marcues picked up?" What kind of question is that? The foul eyes of the know-how.

I immediately went down and found Eliza who was just speechless. Millions of languages disappeared from his mind. The atmosphere of the room was very quiet.

"Take care of your words." I said.

Everyone looks towards me.

"Sorry." Said the guy named Thony.

"Eliza, make us tea." I said.

Eliza immediately left the room and now the room is quiet again. I sat on one of the sofas.

"How close are you to the Marcues?" I started the pleasantries.

"Ah. You don't like your dad?"

"What?"

"Usually, people if asked so would use the word 'father' for their conversation. But not with you."

I was silent for a while.

"How close are you to the Marcues?"

He just smiled knot.

"We're not close enough. He's just a really troublesome boss. He never gave us a day off. For weeks we were given the task by him to accompany him to make a variety of baby tubes with a variety of different DNA." Her speech.

"Baby tube?"

"Yes. At that time he was really angry. His secret files were stolen. I don't know what it is I don't know. But he's really mad, Steyf. To the point that he really let us work or not. He was really angry, to inject various kinds of liquid in the experiment baby tube. All the things that stand in his way will be kicked. Bludgeoned. He was determined to kill the thief."

"Who's the thief?"

"Nobody knows. To this day, no one knows who the thief was.

"But by the time the baby was born. Baby girl. He was a baby, but he was already raging. Like monsters. He gritted a nurse until her skin was peeled off. Weird right? He is still a newborn baby. Her mother,... I don't know. But after the Marcues came in, everything died down. The baby was turned into a normal baby in general. The baby was taken to the lab. We are asked to test. Very sweet baby girl."

Surprising.

"Then?"

"Eliza's not a tube baby. He was not Edward's son. But the son of Marcues' grandmother who remarried a Spanish man."

The moment Eliza reached the room and offered two cups of tea.

"Ah. So anyway. Sorry if I was so sassy. Because I thought that she was that baby girl."

"Well what about the baby monster that destroyed that lab?"

"Don't know. But he's a real monster."

"How did you survive?"

"Ah. My body was hit by the ruins of that building. My legs are broken. After I realized I was in the hospital. My leg has been amputated. Then suddenly Edward Marcues came and said that he would be responsible to the staff about the accident at that time. He also made artificial legs for me. And make it the other one who might have the same problem for the surviving staff. For some of the dead staff, he gave some money for their family's living expenses."

He sipped tea in that glass. I just stared at his feet. Closed by trousers and black shoes.

"Who's the baby girl's name?" Ask me then.

"That's it, Steyf. In the lab we just call it 'The baby belongs to Marcues' but after the time the baby was born, Edward called her 'Cast'. But when we were going to test the baby, he said 'Help me test Viona's abilities, ' he said as he ordered us."

I still feel disbelief.

"All I know is that the castle is the name for the daughter of the king's descendants." Saying later.

"Well, maybe it's called Viona Castle. Or maybe Viona Castle. Strange name is that."

I'm speechless. Suddenly Karel was crying. Maybe he's awake. Again and again. Eliza swiftly ran from the kitchen up the stairs. Standby is right.

"Ah. I have to go home now. There's something I need to do." Said.

Then he stood up. And walk towards the doorway. I followed him from behind. He approached the car and opened the door. Stopped the steps for a moment to notice me standing in the doorway.

"Thank you for the ride." I told him.

He just smiled.

"Thank you for the tea." Said.

Then the car walked away leaving my spacious yard. The page was empty again.

I'll be right inside the house. Then lock the door.

"Squeaky. Where can a newborn be like that?" Eliza commented after being silent for so long.

"Everything could have happened. Whatever it is, for Marcues it makes perfect sense and is easy." I said back to Marcues' words when he was teaching me how to make my own oxygen. But actually at that time I did not even understand anything about the theories of how a human being can make artificial oxygen as it is always received in the hospital. I don't know.

Eliza was silent again.

"If it's true that baby monster existed as he told me just now, he would still be alive today, right? Shot 50 bullets he didn't die. It looks like he is an eternal man-made creature despite being hit by the apocalypse." Eliza said.

I took a long breath.

"Stop it. I also felt that it was all a lie. I read about baby tubes in Marcues' journal. But I never found any writing that said anything about that baby monster. Or maybe I haven't found it."

"Well, all this makes me want to be a detective."
