The Butterfly Trap

The Part 41

It seems like Felix really wanted to pry me about my relationship with Zurich, even though he was joking but I could see that he was interrogating me, during the conversation with him I kept my breath and was careful in choosing the words I was about to say, fortunately a servant came and told me that someone had come looking for me, I told them and rushed to the guest.

" Thank God I finally get to meet you" said the guest, who looks like a man almost my age, wearing a neat and clean suit.

" Do I know you?"

" I'm sorry for coming unannounced, I'm Edward and I'm the messenger of the Huminnbird Guild!", she said, bowing and then sitting down after I had invited her.

He then took out an identification tag from his pocket and I immediately recognized him as one of the members of the Hummingbird Guild, he looked at the waiter who was serving drinks but he was silent as if asking me to talk alone with him.

I asked the waiter to leave us and asked that no one come in while I was talking to my guests, they nodded and left us.

" So?"

" I came because I brought an important message from the Guild Master, he emphasized that the message should be delivered directly to you", he said, taking out a letter and a compass needle-shaped object and giving it to me.

I opened the sealed letter so neatly and immediately read it.

Dear my sweetheart Sicily

Dear, I currently cannot meet you because there is something important that I have to investigate.

You must be wondering where I'm going and not telling me, but believe me I will take good care of myself, I am very worried about your choice to be on the side of the Grand Duke.

I've been informed that Hommuculus is after you and he's on the move, Oleander's country is under his control, although Dakota is not yet aware of this fact.

Sisi, do you think being next to the Grand Duke is the right choice?

Before everything goes haywire you should stay away at least until we have proven that the homemaker was the real culprit of the murder of Emperor Muller and his father.

If you have decided to leave the Grand Duke's residence, use this to open the portal on the hill near Oliga Bay, the portal is indeed located near a steep cliff but you will be safe because no one will suspect you will use it.

Ps. It can also open all kinds of doors and barriers.

I closed the letter again and let out a long sigh, I glanced back at the man who delivered the letter.

" Where is Miranda now Sir.um?"

" Edward!"

" O Sir Edward, do you know where Miranda is?"

" I don't know if I can say this or not but I can say that right now he's not in Dakota"

" Well, do you know where Oliga bay he's referring to? I mean, why would he send me there if he didn't give me a map for directions?"

" Oliga Bay is in the City of Mali, it is quite close from here but to get there you have to pass through the port of Owen if you want to quickly get there", he then took a cup of tea and sipped it into his mouth.

" Is there any other message besides this letter and compass needle?"

" Oh, Master said you should not be in contact with the Hummingbird Guild for a while, it seems like there is someone who is watching the movements of the Guild insiders but because I am a member in the Elfwine branch, it seems like there is someone who is watching over the movements of the Guild insiders but because I am a member in the Elfwine branch, so they won't know me".

" Elfwine? you mean the Elf territory?"

He nodded, "I am a mixture of Elves and humans, so my look is more human-like than elves even though in strength I inherited the abilities of elves".

" For what sake? " cry me while closing my mouth.

" Why can I meet an elf? I greatly admire their race, besides they are endowed with beautiful faces, their healing abilities are also amazing, even they are also fighters who are able to make the monster king of the Hommunculus seriously injured, wow" I said excitedly which made her laugh.

" I'm so glad you like my race, and I'd really like to discuss it further with you, but unfortunately I have to get back to my post right away, the increasingly chaotic circumstances make our meeting very short".

He stood up and tidied up his clothes, at first I thought he was the same age as me but judging from his carrier it seemed like he was much older than me but because his hereditary race made his face look youthful.

' Elves are awesome!'

" I'm sorry for holding you here for so long, please tell Miranda that she doesn't have to worry because I will definitely consider everything she says!"

" Okay, I'm saying goodbye!"

He bowed then I asked the waiter to escort him away, I stared at the carriage away from the window, my hand still holding the letter and the compass needle left by Miranda.

I walked to the porch to breathe in the wind as my head was dizzy thinking about what Miranda said in her letter.

" So right, what if I tell Zurich everything? I'm sure he'll understand, I mean he's crazy about me, can't he kill the man he loves? there's no way she's that cold" I said, looking deep into the night sky.

" What the hell is Sisi, are we talking about Zurich lo? the cold-blooded mad monster, couldn't it be that the title just appeared if he had never done anything, right?"

I closed my eyes, considering which choice I should make, sacrificing myself for love was not the way I lived, I was even dying to survive, now I'm back in the face of choice.

" Oh my head hurts!"

I went back to my room and threw my body on the bed, I breathed many times but my eyes were distracted by the jewelry box on the table where the lamp was.

I looked at the box for a long time, there were many possibilities that I imagined when I looked at the dark blue object.

" I'd better give this gift to him and then I'll slowly tell him everything" I whispered.

Then I got out of bed immediately.

" Right, he would have listened to me if I had told him slowly, let alone me also give him a gift, yes, yes, I better tell him so that we can determine what to do later, if the Hommunculus targets me then Zurich will definitely protect me".

I smiled brightly then took a robe to cover my nightgown and jewelry box and stepped excitedly out of the room.

" Oftentimes if Zurich's clock is still in his study, let's go there while giving a surprise" I said tracing the corridor.

The distance between my room and Zurich's study is quite far, so it took me a few minutes to get there, I climbed the stairs quickly, I even imagined Zurich's face as she received a gift from me.

Her smile would decorate her beautiful face, a red hue would appear on my cheek and her shocked face would not be able to hide, she would try to find sweet words for me then would hug me warmly.

' Kyiaaaaa is truly a sight worth imagining'.

I got to his study, the door of the room was not tightly closed so as to make light come out of the cracks, I approached and held the doorknob about to open it but I was distracted by the person talking to Zurich.

" What will you do when you find it?" ask that voice.

I peeked out of the doorway, where Zurich stood facing the window with his hands on his back and the man he spoke to was Gawin.

" What do you mean? when I find Mcgnagal's last successor, I'm going to get rid of him right away, no matter who it is!"

My whole body felt frozen and my breath felt stopped, I could even hear my heart beating rapidly.
