The Butterfly Trap

The Part 23

" In any case if you intend to run away it will not be easy" he said with a smile and took my hand to the horse carriage parked not far from where we were.

" I told you I wasn't planning on escaping, anyways this sign can allow you to know where I am, so what's the point of me trying to escape from here" I replied evasively.

We stopped right at the door of the carriage, he caught a glimpse of me then stroked my hair with a smile.

" Smart!"

' Fuck, ck anyway my second plan I have to succeed, ya have to succeed'

" Why dream? let's go up" he said, extending a hand.

I shook the hand that had the long, thin fingers, my female soul whimpered at the more beautiful hand of mine, we sat face to face, my female soul whimpered at the sight of her hand that was more beautiful than mine, actually the distance we were at with the residence was not far but I was reluctant to take her on foot, I couldn't wait to get to the residence and make a calculation with Zeju.

" I heard, there are many letters addressed to me, did you receive them?" ask me to open the conversation.

I don't want the awkwardness of making that short trip feel long.

" Oh, there's no important letter!"

" But it was directed at me!".

" If you want to debut in the social world then I'll give you all those letters, but you debut as my fiancee, you want that?"

" It's the right choice you didn't give it to me" I replied with an awkward smile.

Arriving at the residence, he helped me get off the carriage and clasped my hand into the building, although I had tried many times to pull my hand out of his grasp but he tightly knit his fingers with mine.

" By the way, we've caught the mastermind behind your kidnapping".

I who was upset turned to him.

" Really?"

He's nodding.

" It's just that before we had time to pry for information, someone had already killed him first".

" So he's not the mastermind?"

" He's the mastermind"

" Why was he killed? Wasn't he killed to silence his mouth?"

" You're right, but he's just a chess piece from a game that somebody's playing behind the scenes, seeing you wandering around my house makes him believe that you're my lover, even if it's true" he said with a small laugh.

" Oh, let's talk seriously, Your Majesty".

" What? I'm serious too!"

" So you already know who's playing the chess?"

He shook his head, "We are still investigating, but we certainly have managed to find out the enemy's plan, which means that if suddenly war breaks out we have prepared ourselves first, this is also thanks to information from you".

She looked at me with a smile that made my face red.

" A..I'm only helping as much as I can" I muttered then walked quickly ahead of him.

" I'll go back to my room!" I said then quickly up the stairs to my room without even looking back.

I slammed the door hard when I got to my room, where Zeju was sitting by the window, closing his eyes.

" You..... You traitor!" I shouted at him while pointing and walked quickly to where he was.

" What the hell" he replied casually.

" Zeju, we're partners in crime, you could've left me there when you promised to help me".

She laughs.

" Who told you to be so bego, you should have seen the condition across before crawling into the hole, have a brain but not in use"

" Oh come on, it's related to our happiness together, why don't you compromise that?"

" Why are you so determined to get out of here?"

" Of course it's dangerous here".

" Don't you like that Zurich guy?"

" What!? su...su.who else likes him, I. I am just fascinated by his handsome face, just like I like your handsome face", I stammered and then threw my face away from him.

" Ehm this time I'll forgive you but if you still betray me later, I'll never give you my blood again, instead I'll poison you with garaga Q, instead, let's mute!"

He laughed loudly for a while then wiped the tears that came out from the side of his eyes from laughing at me.

' This freak why else? is there something funny about my words? threatened instead of afraid, even laugh ck ck, too bad though cute'

" What are your plans for next?"

" For now delay our plan B, let's pretend to be a good boy and obey his orders".

" It's up to you!"

" Why are you sitting there? what if someone sees you from the outside?"

" Why is that?"

" You're kidding me, aren't you? what people say when they see a man in a woman's room, moreover the woman is rumored to be Grand Duke Dagaras' woman, you have the intention to defame me" I said smiling sarcastically while hiding my irritation.

He lazily climbed out of the window and moved to the sofa by the bed, then collapsed there using both hands as pillows.

' This damn rabbit is just lazy'

****

A few days ago, after my attempted escape failed, the Prophet sent me a letter and asked me to meet at our usual meeting place, but this time we met for a picnic and a celebration of the completion of her and Stella's orientation.

I rushed to meet the two friends I rarely met, we never had another meeting to gossip after they joined the Taurus faction, plus I can no longer go anywhere as I please.

" This is the candidate for the Grand Duchess has come" said the Prophet when he arrived at their place.

" Oh come on Girls, it's just a rumor" I replied as I hugged them.

" It's been a long time since we've seen you like this" Stella said, replying to my embrace, "How did you hurt?"

" It's nothing, just say the former, that's if you can".

" Did you always take him everywhere?" stella asked pointing at the rabbit beside me.

" Any, you guys haven't met yet? this is the rabbit that Zurich loves, I brought it because he's smart".

" Smart?" the Prophet asked curiously about the white rabbit, he reached out his hand to hold Zeju but was patted hard by her small legs.

" Ow".

" He's shy and grumpy, so don't just touch him" I said lifting Zeju into my lap.

" You should have said that from earlier Si" Stella said with a laugh looking at the expression of pain of the Prophet.

We laughed together, it has been a long time like this does not happen again, starting from when I was arrested by members of Zurich, he said, come to think of it maybe almost five months ago we didn't get together like this.

" How does it feel to live in the residence of the ideal men of women in Capital?" ask Prophet.

" Yes Si, I was also curious how it felt to be at home with Grand Duke Dagaras, imagining being able to see his face every day had made me satisfied to live" added Stella.

" Aren't you members of his faction? you should meet him every day at headquarters, right?"

" Meeting what, he was almost never there" replied Stella who was accompanied by a nod of the head by the Prophet.

" Rather? I rarely even met him at the residence".

" Aren't you the imprint partner? did he never ask you to purify him?" ask the Prophet in wonder.

I shook my head, as long as I was in the Zurich residence, I had never seen him in a berserk condition even though it was stage one, let alone asking me to purify him, he said, even before I was kidnapped I rarely met him at the residence, only after that incident did he begin to diligently visit and take me for a walk in the park.
