The Butterfly Trap

The Part 37

" Could it be that father and mother are also bound by eternal marking? that's why you also die when you die, and so do your grandparents?"

Zeju nodded his head.

" I think they poisoned the Emperor and the Grand duke was to lure you out, because they knew that there was a descendant of Zhu Yan, but since you didn't show up even though the Pisces faction was busy researching the poison that gnawed at Emperor, they became convinced that you were also killed in the annihilation!"

" So they committed murder against my family, Emperor and Grand Duke Dagaras not because they wanted war? but because I wanted to catch me because I'm a descendant of my grandmother? what kind of plot twist is this?"

" They do want war but not with humans, they want to rule the entire monster world and put all the contents within it under his control".

" I don't understand".

" It is true that if they fight against humans, they will win easily but what if against the combined forces of demons, elves and dwarves? it would not be that easy for them to win, coupled with the condition of their leader who was still severely injured, of course they had to find a way to heal their leader and the way was to consume the heart of the famous lotus spirit".

" Since the assassination of Emperor and Grand Duke it seems they gave up looking for the last descendant of Mcgnagal but it turns out that a girl who has knowledge even able to bid poison garaga Q, but it turns out that there is a girl who has knowledge even able to bargain for poison garaga Q, if you were them would you not suspect that the girl was the last descendant of the Mcgnagal family to inherit Zhu Yan's blood?"

I nodded my head, I understand now that all these things have happened since I left the Marquess Rafael's residence, ever since I began to secretly open my medical practice, that might have been what had arouse their suspicions, that's why they poisoned Red who was going on a mission with Zurich, so that Zurich was looking for me and the spy he placed in the Taurus faction could easily figure out my identity.

" If what you're saying is true, that's why they're always targeting me? wait a minute.." I he for a moment and turned back all the events that happened to me inside my head.

" If Aron is their spy, they should know all the information about me? then why didn't they just arrest me during the attack?"

" I don't think Aron told them about your features, maybe he just said that you were among the people close to Zurich and he didn't tell them about your gender either, that's asumsiku!"

I fell silent, I didn't expect it would all be this complicated and the fact that Zeju had been investigating him for ten years made me doubt his identity.

" Who are you really? and why do you know so much about this? what's your purpose in telling me?"

I looked at him with a suspicious look, in my head I repeatedly hoped that Zeju was not my enemy because of his already important existence in my life.

" Do my intentions look suspicious to you?"

He smiled slantedly, he weaved his fingers together, his eyes looked at the crowd far away from us then he turned his head towards me and sighed.

" Of course, who would give others freely if there was no ulterior intention behind his kindness!".

He did not reply, instead of him standing then facing me, I looked up at the body that covered my gaze, his hand touched my arm then gently stroked my head.

" Because you are the grandson of my best friend Zhu Yan, and I'm a.s.s." he stopped while coughing small.

" I'm afraid you're in danger, which is why I'm telling you all this, I still don't know who the nobles are related to the monster, yet, we still don't know who the enemy is and who the allies are, so I have to go investigate further, it's not just about your safety but the safety of my race as well, my investigation was stalled because my body had turned into a rabbit but now I could control both my human and my rabbit form so I had to hurry before it was too late".

I looked into Zeju's eyes for a long time, he didn't take his eyes off me, I could feel his attentive gaze on me.

" When are you coming back?" ask me with a weak tone.

" So soon, are you going to miss me?" she asked with a seductive smile but I did not answer.

I lowered my head, there was a sense of loss that gnawed at my heart, I felt water welling up on my lower eyelids, I didn't dare look at Zeju, I didn't want my weakness to block his steps.

" Why are you crying?" she asked with a laugh, she gently wiped the water on my cheek.

I sobbed but not a single answer came out of my mouth, for some reason I really felt lost, the days I spent with him seemed like mere memories of the past.

He gently dipped my forehead which made me step back in surprise, seeing my reaction he coughed holding back his laughter.

" I'll definitely be back, so you'll have to keep well the thing I gave you, you'll have to take it wherever you go, okay?"

I nodded my head, but my tears were still pouring down my cheeks, he was still laughing while wiping away my falling tears.

" Sides?" there was a voice calling me not far from our place.

I turned towards the source of the voice, where Zurich stood with sharp eyes staring at us.

" Ah, your lover has come and she looks angry!" zeju laughed.

" What are you guys doing here? why are you crying? did this bastard do it?" asked in an angry tone then pulled the sword from his waist.

" Wait, you misunderstood me!" I said while intercepting him.

Zeju smiled obliquely then stepped near Zurich calmly.

" I leave him to you, so you have to take care of him like your life, don't let him get hurt or cry, if you do, believe me, I will take her away from you so that you will never see a strand of her hair again" Zeju whispered to Zurich, which can be heard clearly by me.

He hit Zurich's shoulder twice, "I'm Going!"

" What!?" yelled Zurich who did not accept Zeju's words.

Zeju just lifted up his shirt and then passed away leaving the two of us waving his hands without looking back, I stared at the strapping back and the hair that glittered by the sunlight until he disappeared in the crowd.

" What are you guys talking about? why did she make you cry?" ask me after Zeju disappeared.

" Nothing, he's just leaving!"

" Why should he kiss you? what kind of relationship do you have actually? are you just gonna let me be like this confused person?" ask her in a tone that sounds disappointed.

" Our family had a good relationship, he was already like my older brother, so when he said he was leaving of course I felt sad, I felt like I was losing my family"

I'm facing towards Zurich.

" Today you said because he saved you a few times, now he's your older brother, tomorrow what else?" with the sarcasm.

I gaped at the unexpected answer from Zurich, I didn't expect him to doubt me like that, he seemed to be holding back his emotions, his eyes explaining everything to me, as if asking me to calm him down and resolve this misunderstanding.

I took a breath and then grabbed her hand, "Let's go back first and I'll tell you everything when we get home".
