The Butterfly Trap
The Part 20
" It seems like the Grand Duke really likes you" Miranda said as she visited my place, she noticed the necklace hanging around my neck and touched it.
" Madam, don't tell me you want me and him together?" many wonder.
" What's the connection?"
" Because....."
" Cause of what I just said?" ask her while laughing.
I'm nodding.
" That's not what Si means, you wear a very rare necklace and I'm sure he gave it to you, so where do you have the money to buy a necklace like this?"
I held the necklace around my neck and watched it closely.
" What good is this necklace? the gem is also not too shiny, the color is also not beautiful"
Miranda laughed a little.
" You know, the necklace itself is a very, very rare magic artifact, it can protect the user from any attack, and it's a core of monster power, the darker the color means the monster that has it is also very strong"
" really? is it that good? how much is it sold for?"
" I don't know, probably about a billion gold coins".
": Sa...... A billion gold coins? oh my god, how could he give this precious thing to me? if one billion gold coins means that's enough to buy one island and it can still bear my family some descendants?"
I'm gawking.
When Zurich gave the necklace to me, I thought he only intended to give me a bridle so that I could not escape or if he was truly sincere, this necklace only contains her power so that I can protect myself yet she can still spy on my whereabouts.
" So that's why you said she likes me so much?"
He's nodding.
" Which man will give a woman something of great value if she is not interested in that person? moreover, he was Grand Duke Dagaras, a man with a cold personality, even many girls who did various tricks to attract his attention but none of them succeeded".
" How do you know?"
He chuckles.
" Sisi, who do you think I am? what kind of information don't I get?"
" Ah right too, the Humingbird Guild is being resisted" replied with a laugh.
He smiled at me hearing my words.
" Nih, a tool that can fool detection devices" he said while handing over a square object with maroon color.
" Are you sure this tool works?" I'm not sure about the shape.
" Oh come on Sisi, a Guild Master like me is giving away any tools? sure enough, before I give it to you, I've tested it first, and getting this thing isn't easy".
" Alright, thank you very much Madam" I replied with a bow.
He stopped me immediately, because he didn't want the wound on my back to open again.
" The wound is dry madam, at least in some hearts I can already do activities again".
She smiled as she stroked my hair, her gaze still filled with worry even though she spoke resolutely but she always treated me like her own daughter.
" There's not much I can do for you, I just hope you don't get involved in the upper social world, but remember Sisi, I always support whatever decisions you make"
I smiled and hugged the woman.
Miranda then left the residence, before she left of course she again warned me not to fall in love with Zurich but whatever the force, I could not control my heart, the more I tried to get him out of my memory the more I thought about him.
I took Zeju for a walk to the park, all looking for a way out that I could use when I ran away from here, of course Zeju refused but after I seduced her with my blood she finally followed me.
We arrived at the gazebo which is above the surface of the artificial lake, a suitable place to enjoy the beauty of the lake and also the beauty of this residence.
" So how? have you found a place to escape?"
" Hmm there are a few ways I think about it"
" Really?" i sparkle.
He looked at me for a second.
' True, life here is fun, I can do whatever I want, life is idle but not dizzy thinking of ways to meet the needs of life, is there nothing better than this? but if I'm used to it, I don't know what it would be like if Zurich knew that I was the son of the family that killed his father'
" Hey, why daydream?" zeju shouted while hitting my hand with her foot which brought me back to the real world.
" Zeju....... You are so heartless of humanity, you think being hit by your pretty legs doesn't hurt what?" I grunt while rubbing my hand that he hit.
" I'm an animal, how can mana serve humanity" he replied casually.
" Zeju.."
" Sisi, what are you doing here?" zurich's voice approached.
I turned to the source of the voice, Zurich walked with a bright smile towards me in a black uniform and golden accessories added to her charisma, she looked like she was surrounded by flowers and her steps looked slow.
' An angel, he must be an angel, it can't be a human being like that! Kyaaaaa I can not choose between Zurich and Zeju, ah beautiful can see the visual-studded scenery, what have I done in the past so that I am so lucky?'
I was completely blown away, my heart was beating rapidly and pumping blood firmly into my face so that my face was warming up, I closed my open mouth with my hand and followed it with my eyes until he sat down before me.
" Are you taking your rabbit for a walk?" she asked with a bright smile.
' It's too glare, it's really not good for my heart'.
" ah yes, I want to show this beautiful sight to Zeju" I replied with an awkward smile.
' All find a way to get out of your residence'
" Zeju? who?"
" Him" pointed me to the white rabbit sitting on the table.
He chuckles.
" The rabbit's name is Zeju? what mean?"
" That............".
I swallowed spit.
He was smiling waiting for my answer.
" Since it's your gift and his attitude is the same as yours, so I give Z Junior's name, so if I'm shortened to Zeju" I replied still with an awkward smile.
" But I'm giving you that name not because I hate you "add me while waving my hand.
I'm afraid he'll think badly of me.
" Hmmm so you like me?" goda.
" Ap..what? ma'am.not so noble".
" So you hate me?"
" No, I.." I was a drunk, plus his seductive gaze made my face even hotter.
He laughed, then gently hit my nose with his finger.
' What the fuck is he? why are you doing this to me, Your Majesty? you want to make my heart explode from seeing your beautiful laughter?'
I lowered my head, not daring to look into the man's eyes, I didn't want to like him any more so I was reluctant to leave him later, he stroked my hair gently.
" I bought a cake from La Creme's pastry shop, do you want to try it with me?"
" You bought it for me?"
He nodded with a smile.
" La Creme, isn't that the most famous cake shop in Dakota? even to get one slice it takes a queue for days".
" Right, that La Crema" he replied.
" His Highness the Grand Duke, you are truly extraordinary" I said giving my thumbs up to him.
" What dream was I last night? to the extent that I can enjoy the cake from such a famous shop? even if I give you all my savings, I can't enjoy it" I chuckled as I closed my cheeks with my fingers and smiled brightly at him.
He was stunned for a moment then he chuckled softly at my words while holding my hand towards the main building.
