The Butterfly Trap

The Part 22

" Why is it the same with me? don't know, who lived here first is who?"

" Zeju, I'm serious about it, can't ya say that don't use chili? pedes very, not comparable to your beautiful face"

" Bodo is very" he replied then sat cross-legged on the chair while rolling his eyeballs, his hands on his chest, I shook my head looking at his behavior.

" When is the execution?"

" What about tomorrow?"

" You sure? what about the wounds on your body?"

" It's dry"

He looked at me in disbelief, his eyes down my body from legs to head and then he shrugged and smiled obliquely, even though the way he spoke was always thin, Zeju cared enough for me, he always helps me even though in front of me he will complain and refuse my request, I think he is not the one who can not be honest with himself, always other in the mouth and other in the heart.

On the day that we carried out the plan, the first plan was to get out of the residence through the dog hole in the fence of the wall of the residence, I strolled through the hallway and tried to avoid every passing servant, because Zeju was small and did not attract attention, it was easy for him to find a path that was not passed by the servants.

I followed him to the park by the lake next to which was a high wall, fifty meters from where Zeju's execution stopped and hid behind a large pillar of the residence's support.

" There's...."

" Stttttt" he stopped me before I could ask and he pointed at the two maids.

We waited for them to leave but instead they stopped right near the dog hole we were going to use as a place to escape, they squatted while picking some flowers that grew there.

" Do you think that Miss Sisi was Grand Duke? is she a Duchess candidate?" ask one of them to open the conversation.

" I don't know, but as far as I can see, the Grand Duke seems to care deeply for him".

" Hmmm right too, but if she is indeed the Grand Duke's woman, she should have given him the title, I heard some nobles say that she is a mistress, that she is a mistress, some even say that he's just a Grand Duke toy"

" Stttt what are you talking about? what if someone hears?"

They looked around making sure no one was listening to their talk, I was silent, there was a strange feeling that was gnawing at my chest, it was true that Zurich had once offered the position of Grand Duchess but I refused it, I didn't expect that my refusal would give me any bad rumors about me.

" Nobody's here ".

" Think of being weird too, do you remember when Miss Sisi got hurt? The Grand Duke always accompanied him even he looked very anxious when Miss Sisi had not yet realized even days had passed".

" It's true anyway".

" I think there's something that makes the Grand Duke hasn't given him a title yet".

" Hmm.. if you remember again, at that time Miss Sicily got a lot of letters, right? did he take it?"

" I don't know".

I was still standing in the same place, waiting for the servants to finish their work, they were still chatting and sometimes even heard the joking of one of them until finally their basket was full and passed away.

" Not to be too thoughtful, from his eyes it appears that Zurich cares about you, otherwise it is impossible that he gave you the necklace, right?" zeju said trying to calm me down.

Maybe he thought that the servants' words hurt my feelings.

' Tuh right? he cares about me, but I don't care what they say'.

I chuckled and asked Zeju to continue our action.

" Zeju, we look around, if anyone hits me in the back, okay?" I told him before I crawled into the hole.

He nodded his head.

" What are you doing Sisi?" said that voice that was very familiar.

I immediately pushed my whole body, then quickly stood facing the man, he smiled at me but it was neither a warm smile nor a happy smile but a sarcastic smile.

" Yes.the noble one "answered me with an awkward laugh.

" I........"

" You're what? you want to run away?"

' Yes.I did want to run away'

" No, Your Majesty, I'm hm.." I turned my brain to answer the question.

" I was playing with Zeju, really playing hehe" I added.

" Really?" tanya looked behind me.

" Yes" I answered still with an awkward laugh.

" Where's Zeju then?"

" In bela....."

I looked back, but the white rabbit was not there, meaning that he did not follow through the hole, I bent down to look across the wall but the animal was no longer there.

' Damn rabbit, you traitor, watch out later, I won't let you eat, can you run away at an important time like this?'

" Where was he here, where did he go?" pretend to wander.

Zurich seemed to be dissatisfied with my answer, he stepped forward near me which made me step back until leaning against the wall, I gulped he locked me with his hand on that wall.

" Ap... What are you doing?"

She did not answer, caressing my cheek, holding my breath and closing my eyes, her face was only a few inches away from me.

' Is he going to kiss me? any more? no.....hatiku not ready for this, but I want, kyaaaaaa is not it, am I a pervert huh? stop thinking the no-no'.

" Breathe Lah, do you want to die from suffocation?" the whisper in my ear makes my hair stand up.

Her voice was soft but cold, she sounded worried but also angry, I did not dare to move anything else to open my eyes. We were still in the same position for a split second until Zurich finally pinched my nose.

" Awwww" I murmured as I rubbed my nose, I looked straight into my blue eyes and gulped again but not out of fear but out of nervousness.

' Why is his face so close? it's not good for my heart'.

" I'll never let you go, not again, if you run away from me, I don't know what I'm going to do, I'll always treat you well but please don't go away secretly from me".

I threw away my face, occasionally stealing glances at those pair of blue eyes.

" K.you're too close, Your Majesty, can you let me go first? after that we talk".

" Why?"

' Why? of course it's because I'm not comfortable with this noble position'.

" Because this kind of position is not a comfortable position to talk to and again I'm not trying to escape, actually, it was playing with Zeju near here, out of curiosity why there was a hole here so I tried to enter" I replied trying to convince him.

He still looked at me a long time ago and let go of the hand that had locked me, and he took a few steps back, but his eyes were still staring intently into my eyes.
