The Butterfly Trap

The Part 15

" Don't equate us with you, even if our race isn't as much as yours, we'll never betray our race!" grunts sharp.

' No need to answer Zeju, as he hated the same race of men'.

" Why does it sound like you hate Zeju humans so much?" I wondered at the attitude he always showed me.

He just ignored me and jumped back on the couch and then left his body and showed me his hairy belly, I refrained from touching the belly of the adorable animal but it seemed like my brain and hands were out of sync, slowly my hands started to feel her stomach, she said, he was startled and immediately kicked my hand with his foot then he turned around and looked at me savagely.

" Your stomach is adorable"

" What? you want to die, huh?" the grunt was upset which made me laugh.

" By the way Sisi, why do you call him Zeju?" ask Miranda.

" Zeju is short for Z Junior, his arrogant attitude is the same as Zurich's and because he gave it to me so I gave the same name as that annoying guy".

" Sucks? did he do anything to you? didn't you say he was protecting you?"

' Fuck, I was wrong again' I thought.

I laughed awkwardly, "That's what her handsome face meant was too bothering me, Madam knew that I was a girl who was still in her infancy, seeing her cold demeanor so incompatible with her alluring face".

" Is that right?"

" Of course", I answered quickly while throwing my face away from him.

" If just admiring him is okay, but don't fall in love with him Si, he's the first one who will finish you off if he finds out you're Mcgnagal's descendant, considering his father was killed by a poison that your family is developing".

I nodded, I knew exactly what the end of my life story would be if I fell in love with her, maybe I would die in disappointment, if she knew who I really was, the warmth that is now bound to disappear, being near him is very risky, I have to think of a way to escape the man.

I spent half my day at Miranda's, we did an investigation in the basement just below Miranda's bakery, reopening old documents and relics from my grandfather but I found nothing about the Hommunculus except the fact that he was a terrible creature that could threaten the balance of the world.

We take a breath, then put together all the information that has been collected, there are still many pieces of the puzzle that have not been connected, he said, although we already know that the deaths of my family and Emperor Muller and the previous Grand duke Dagaras are related to each other, but who , how and why they did that we still cannot draw conclusions.

As I was about to return to the Zurich residence, not forgetting that I brought Zeju with me, I hoped that he would give me some information if I could make him believe me, I hope, Marie and Gawin were patiently waiting for me outside the store.

All the way home I just had a light conversation with Marie, Zeju just stayed on my lap, even though he said that only people with demon blood could hear him but I still asked him not to talk to me if I was with someone else.

Every now and then Marie joked with me, the girl seemed comfortable talking to me but she kept her manners even though my status in Zurich was unclear, she looked like someone who did not judge someone from the outside, that's what made me like the girl, still coolly laughing suddenly the horse carriage I was riding stopped.

" Sir Gawin, is there a problem?" marie asked, looking at the window, Gawin was seen standing by on his horse.

" We were ambushed, Miss Marie stay inside and protect Miss Butterfly" he said before leaving us.

Outside of the fierce fight, Marie looked agitated, she looked out the window many times.

" Miss, stay here, I'll help Gawin, it looks like he's overwhelmed with them alone"

I nodded, then Marie got out of the carriage and immediately joined Gawin, I looked towards those who were still fighting, there were some people who were in black robes, and there were some people in black, looks like a hit man who tried to kill me last night.

I shudder in horror.

' Did they come because they targeted me? damn it, is this the reward I received for not listening to the words of the old man?'

I was still preoccupied with panaroid thoughts when the carriage I was carrying was hit by a hard object that made me bounce out, he said, Marie who saw the incident shouted out my name and immediately ran towards me but she was blocked by some people.

I got up to stand up, my waist ached, I glanced at the Zeju I held tightly.

" It's lucky you're okay", I said with a smile and then tried to get up to hide behind the trees but one of the attackers grabbed my waist and disappeared with me leaving Marie and Gawin in the fight.

We arrived at a cabin of hunter relics, the area looked strange to me, I turned my gaze around which was only filled with lush trees, it seemed like we were in the middle of the middle of the middle of nowhere forest.

" Let go of me, who are you", I cried writhing and thrashing.

" Long silence***** goddamn*", he replied still holding my waist rudely, I kept struggling to get away from the man but the more I tried the harder he treated me, I bit her shoulder hard, she suffocated and took her hand off me so I fell to the ground.

Without a second thought I tried to run into the dark forest, but he pulled my long hair from behind.

" ****** fuck, how dare you bite me", the grunt then she slapped into my cheek.

I slammed, my cheek was hot and sore, there was fresh blood coming out from the side of my lips that indicated the inside of my mouth was injured by his slap, not waiting for long for him to pull my arm roughly towards the cabin.

" Let go of me damn it" I shouted still trying to get away from him.

" What do you want? " my words tremble.

" Don't bacot you shit!" he replied then hit me hard on the shoulder, I felt a tremendous pain on my shoulder and my consciousness slowly disappeared.

*****

I opened my eyes but I could not see anything, only a dark room with sunlight entering the room from the cracks of the wall so that I could see faintly the cover of my eyes, I seemed to be sitting on a chair with my hands and feet tied, I tried to pull my hand but in vain, the rope bond was so strong that I could feel my skin being injured by the bond.

" Where is he?" there was a heavy voice of a man but because my eyes were closed I could not tell who it was, no other voice could be heard answering the man's question.

I could hear the door being opened and there were several pairs of feet stepping into the room I was in, one of them stepped near me, I could feel his hand on my chin, then he violently pushed my chin up.

" This girl?" tanyakanya.

" Yes sir, based on the information we have received it is indeed the one" replied another.

" Cih, bug bully!", he replied as he slammed my chin to the left.

" Who are you? what do you want from me?" I try to make the sound sound as quiet as possible.

I heard giggling laughter.

" How did you find out about garaga Q?" ask without further ado.

I'm silent.

" Do we need to let him live sir? wouldn't we rather finish him here?" ask another voice cruelly.

" Don't be in a hurry" replied the man called Sir in front of me, "Let's have some fun first".

" You won't answer me, huh ******?" ask me again, "Tell me all the information about Zurich Dagaras or are you going to die here?" he threatens.

" I don't know"

"Huh, don't you know?"

I felt a sharp object coming into contact with the skin of my wrist, he laughed grinning.

" What is this? Temporary Marking?" he scratched the mark on my wrist, I was suffocating with the pain.

" Heh, stop lying******* goddamn!" it was the scream that made my whole body tremble.

" I don't know", I sobbed, I could no longer endure the fear and pain that ran through my body.

He laughed out loud.

" You're his girlfriend and you said you didn't know? who are you trying to fool here, huh?"

" I'm not her boyfriend, seriously! I'm not lying"

" Not her lover but you have the same marking markings as her? are you tired of living, huh?" his yell.

" i......I'm not..he's..no" I sobbed.

" It looks like he won't open his mouth sir" another voice sounded.

" It's okay if you don't want to, maybe you'd rather have this whip rain down on your beautiful body".

" Oh right, if your body becomes ugly, she won't want to be with you anymore, then what? you'll be treated like wasted trash, too bad" he caressed my cheek, I dodged.

" What do you really want?"

She laughs.

" I'm not until the heart tortures a woman, my gentleman soul will be torn to shreds, huh what a pity when you're beautiful like this"

He sounded away from me.

" Are we going to let him just like that sir?"

" Just leave it, fear will open its mouth!" said the man called sir, away from me, and moments later only silence could be heard from the room.
