The Butterfly Trap
The Side Story 5
Zurich racked his brain so he could keep the girl by his side but it seemed that he was so afraid of her that recruiting her as a member of the Taurus faction would not work, he also did not want to tell why he was hiding his strength.
Not yet found the bright spot of the problem Zurich faced with the fact that Aria is indeed an enemy spy who infiltrated his faction not only briefly, Aria has joined for approximately five years.
" Who sent you?" zurich asked, drawing his sword into the neck of the kneeling girl.
She's quiet.
" You don't want to answer? how can you betray when we're like brothers?" claude asked in a disappointed tone.
" I'm sorry sir", that's all that came out of his mouth.
" If you feel guilty tell me who sent you? what's your goal?"
He shook his head, then opened his mouth to reveal his tongue to Zurich and Claude, they were shocked by the seal embedded in his tongue.
" I'm powerless Sir, but I can't fight that guy, you can take a small roll in my shoe, that's all I can do to answer your question".
Claude took four small rolls from the girl's shoe.
" Aaron, you gotta catch her or Miss Butterfly's gonna be fucked".
" What did you say?!" Zurich was provoked by his emotions to hear the Sicilian name spoken from the mouth of the traitor.
" I'm telling you the truth sir, you can kill me now but that doesn't stop them from targeting Miss Butterfly, because she's a bully of their plans"
" Last question, does Aaron have the same seal as you?"
He's nodding.
" You must kill me sir, otherwise I won't be able to break that man's order to finish off Miss Butterfly"
" Who is that you mean?"
He shook his head, "Even if I wanted to tell you, I wouldn't be able to do it, my whole body would be petrified if I mentioned just a little information about it even with writing".
" You must kill me sir so Miss Butterfly will be safe, there will be nothing I can do if my body is already in control".
" Just right Heh" said Zurich, drawing out his sword and slashing Aria's neck with his sword, he felt someone watching him from behind the wall.
" Give her body to the monsters" Zurich said as she wiped her sword to distract from the person stalking them.
Zurich approached the man behind the wall but he was gone, did Aaron spy on us? he thought but he smiled realizing the scent left on the wall was because it came from Sicily.
" How is next Sir? I've ordered Sir Dominic to arrest Aaron, we're just waiting for more news".
" Good job".
" What about Miss Sicily Sir? are you better with him?"
Zurich looked at Claude in surprise.
" You see, lately, whenever I mention the name of Miss Sicily, you immediately become irritated, so I think that you are not better"
Zurich laughed, "It's not like that, ask Chris to guard it quietly, this matter should we inform the crown prince".
" Good sir, there's still a lot of discord in this case, who's that person Aria meant?"
" We'd better go back to my room, we don't know the walls and the plants here have ears or not" Zurich said then rushed to his study.
Once there he and Claude unrolled the small scroll left by Aria.
The Hummingbird Guild knew about the mission!
There's a girl who understands about Garaga Q is she the one we've been looking for?
The girl was known by her name Butterfly among members of the mission and her real name was Sicilian Agatha.
He has ties to Miranda of Huminggbird and Marquis Rafael.
Grand Duke Zurich Daragas is already starting to get suspicious.
Find the Mcgnagal family's last heir, the male gender.
Kill those who know about garaga Q.
Those are some of the writings that are in the small scroll but there is no sender name of the letter so they assume that the letter was written by a different person.
The next day Zurich gets word that Aaron has escaped from the chase, which means Sicily's safety is under threat, Zurich was looking for a way to keep the girl next to him so he could protect her.
" Am I threatening him to let him make a contract with me? no, it won't work, the paper contract won't be able to hold the smart girl" he murmured.
" What if I pretended to be in a berserk condition and framed her for sex with me then I would make temporary marking on her growth so that she would not be able to part from me? no, it's not gonna work, he's never gonna do that with me"
Zurich flipped through the books he had borrowed from William's personal library, books that dealt with imprints and marking on purifiers.
' So imprint and temporary marking are two different things?' I thought Zurich was flipping through the book again, he already had enough knowledge about imprint and marking only he needed other information that could bind Sicily with him if his initial plan did not succeed because asking Sicily to volunteer to be beside him was a matter which is not possible even as a Grand Duchess.
The door of his study was knocked from the outside, Sicily entered his room with a face between eager and anxious, he then faced Zurich quite close but not too, he said, Zurich felt like his heart was going to explode when the girl was already in front of him, wanting to feel like he was pulling the girl's head into his arms but he held back.
"Sir let's make a deal" said the girl who made her smile.
' I no longer need to think of a way to trap this girl to be by my side, isn't this good?" thought.
He did not immediately agree to the girl's request so that his plan was not known to him, some time later their contract was completed, Zurich was very satisfied to see the sign in his hand, the sign hints that the girl is indeed his destiny, for twenty-two years of his life he had never met anyone who had a fifty percent match with him but this girl was able to make him possessive, he did not want others to know the whereabouts of the girl or they would snatch her from him.
After meeting with Sicily and William and Claude, Zurich contacted Emperor.
" How is Sir Alfred?" ask the voice across after the magic communication tool is connected.
"The poison from his body was gone but to remove the residue left behind he needed a purifier therapy for three months".
" Who is the owner of this great hand? is he from the Aquarius faction?"
" No"
" Hmm can you introduce him to me? I'm curious"
" We put that aside first, your majesty, there's an urgent matter that we have to discuss immediately but not here because we don't know if our communication can be leaked or not and it looks like our mission is delayed first"
" Is it that important?"
" Yes, my majesty, this relates to a large audience".
" Alright, I'm sure you're capable of discerning what's a priority".
" We will leave tomorrow and I will try to reach Capital in three days" Zurich said.
He orders Claude to contact all the people who are participating in the mission and asks them to prepare to return to the Capital, Zurich deliberately speeds up their journey, not only because of the information he got but also because he wanted to put Sicily in a safe place.
Arriving at the Capital he deliberately allowed Sicily to return to his home because he knew that the Hummingbird Guild had always protected him secretly, he went to see Emperor when he arrived at the Capital.
" You look anxious, is the problem that complicated?" felix asked as he was already sitting in the Emperor's study.
" Yes, my majesty, I found some interesting facts" Zurich replied then he sat down after being invited by Felix.
" Does this have anything to do with the case we've been investigating?"
Zurich nodded, "Right, when in the north, there was some information I got, first the poison that killed Emperor and my father was the same poison as Alfred's poison, the two purifiers in the north were also exposed to this toxin after we checked and the strange thing is that only the purifier they targeted".
" So in conclusion someone is planning to finish off the purifiers?"
Zurich nodded, "I think they deliberately got rid of the purifier first because in war strategy, medical and intelligence personnel are the key to a successful war, right?"
" It is also true, will we be faced with a dangerous situation?"
" I don't know, but at least with this information we can be on our guard and plan the next steps that can be taken".
Felix was bearded, there was concern that adorned his face after hearing the explanation from Zurich.
" It seems that slowly we can put together the puzzle that we have been investigating" he said while taking paper and ink.
" First, they destroyed the Mcnagal family which is the power and intelligence of the country, who does not know how good the Mcgnagal family is, in even being able to make cooperation with the demon clans, elves and dwarves, in fact, the Mcgnagal family is able to work together with the clan, plus they also have a strong awakener and purifier power."
" Secondly they killed my father who was the ruler of the kingdom, if the leader dies then it is certain that the moral spirit of the knights will also decrease and then they kill the Grand Duke dagaras which will be the foundation to help the next generation to grow."
" And now they're after healers? didn't they plan this very mature?"
" Right, your majesty, the problem is that we don't know who is our enemy right now, plus they're after Sicily, the medical expert who has an understanding of this poison", zurich replied while taking out the paper scroll left behind by Aria.
Felix read it carefully, "where did you get this?"
" They infiltrated my team, there were two people that one I had killed the other one managed to escape".
" They're also after Mcgnagal's heir, it looks like there's a big secret that only this heiress knows".
" It seems so, your honor".
" Where is this Miss Sicily now? what if I take her to the palace so the knights can protect her".
" You don't have to worry, he'll be safe in my residence" Zurich replied quickly.
Felix laughed, "Why do you sound like a kid whose candy is about to be taken? heh I'm so curious about this Miss Sicily, is she pretty?"
" Your Majesty, there is one more thing Miss Sicily and I am under contract, now my status is my fiancee until our official marriage is held" Zurich said firmly.
Of course it makes Felix shocked, as long as he knows Zurich he never saw his friend was interested in the opposite sex even though his beautiful sister, curiosity increasingly gnawed Felix, the more, he could not wait to meet up with Sicily in person.
