The Butterfly Trap

Part 42's

I limply set my feet back in my room, my whole body trembling and cold sweat soaking through the temple, my whole body as if it were boneless, I didn't even have the strength to carry the jewelry box I had in my hand, I slowly felt my body slowly tumble to the hard floor.

" Miss Butterfly!" a man shouted and ran towards me.

He lifted my body and called out my name while ordering the others to call the Grand Duke, my consciousness has not disappeared but I cannot see the man clearly.

" Dear Sicily, what happened to you?" ask a voice so familiar but I still can't see it clearly.

He carried me to the room and assured me that I would be fine, his tone sounding worried and desperate, I also felt water droplets falling on my face.

' Did he cry? who her? Zurich?'.

He laid me on the bed, I vaguely heard a commotion even though I couldn't hear it clearly.

" Why is Penelope so long?" yell out that faint sounding voice.

" His face was even very pale as all the blood disappeared from his body!"

This time it sounded more like a sobbing, there was a huge fear in the voice, then I felt my hand being touched by something and then I didn't hear any more of the noise.

In my sleep I dreamed Zurich was looking at me with a cold face and a deep disappointment adorning her face.

" How could I forgive what your family has done, you don't deserve to live!!"

I begged him but no sound came out of my mouth, I even hung onto his feet so he would listen to my explanation but he kicked me so much that I bounced then without a second thought he drew his sword to my neck.

" DON'TKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!" I shouted like a lost man.

I woke up and got out of bed with a breath of breath then checked my neck which was still connected to my head.

" You finally woke up Sisi" Zurich said beside me, holding my hand.

I was aghast and immediately shook Zurich's hand violently and moved away from him.

" Punish me! don't kill me, please don't kill me!" I shouted while crying to him.

" Ap.. What are you saying, baby? who's gonna kill you? open your eyes! it's me" he said approaching and holding my shoulder but I dodged back and moved away from him.

"Ja..no!" sobbing me while hitting the air.

He pulled my body to his chest, he tried to calm me down while rubbing my back, I was still pounding his chest and trying to break away but he came back tightly, clutching, a few moments later I started to calm down.

" What really happened to you, baby? can't your pain be moved to me alone, my heart is so broken seeing you like this" she wrote, barely audible to me.

I don't know what happened I went back to sleep, this time I could sleep peacefully, I don't know what happened but obviously when I woke up, I was able to think clearly.

" You're aware of Miss? do you feel pain in your body? how's your head? is it no longer sick?"

" Miss Penelope? what the hell is going on here?"

" You don't remember?"

I shook my head and turned my brain back, searching for my last memory before I fell asleep.

" How did I get to my room? as I recall I was on my way to the Grand Duke's study!"

" That was five days ago, is that all you remember?"

" Five days ago? what do you mean? what the hell is going on?"

" According to Sir Gawin, when he came out of the Commander's office he saw you fall to the floor, he immediately approached you to see what was happening yet you did not answer even your face as pale as an undead".

Ak digested Penelope's words and turned back the events before I went to Zurich's room in my head.

" After that the Commander came and immediately took you to the room and asked me to check on you but I did not find a single disease in your body, only that your body showed a depressed and frightened reaction, then you wake up you immediately attack the commander and yell at him, you're like a madman who lost his mind, you're cursing and driving the commander away while yelling hysterically!"

" I. ngak it may be, where may I dare to do that to a Grand Duke", answered I do not believe in the words of Penelope.

" No daring what, at first I could not believe the servant saying that you attacked the commander until I finally saw it for myself with my eyes, I had no choice but to give you a sedative, but thank God you're back as usual now, I don't know what else I should do if you go back on the rampage".

" What's really going on? why would I do that? what about the Grand Duke? where is he now?"

" He has to go to the palace because the festival is so close, you even took the commander's break with your madness!" said Penelope while shaking her head.

" I can't linger here, I'll check your pulse before I say goodbye, I'm sorry for having to leave you, since the festival that is near everyone in the twelve zodiac faction is very busy with various things, I will pass on your condition to the commander, so take a break!"

When Penelope left me and asked the waiter to watch my condition, I stared out the window and thought back to what was really going on, my gaze distracted by the dark blue box beside my bed.

' When I find that last Mcgnagal, I will immediately eliminate him, no matter who it is!'

The voice just popped into my head and the memory of that night rolled back like a show in my head, I felt my chest tight and my breath crashing down my throat, I took a long breath to calm myself down

" Ah it seems like everything is in vain, no matter if she likes me or not, her resentment towards my family is greater than I imagined!" I muttered while holding my head with my hands.

" I'm not going to sacrifice myself just because I love her, I'm not that great, it looks like I have to leave before she finds out who I really am".

I looked out the window and regretted the story of my love meeting at the wrong time even with the right person.

' What kind of love story is this? even romance novels sold in the market have a better plot than this, ahhh why should it happen to me? why would I fall in love with someone who would kill me? now what should I do?'

I huddled up in bed, I never had a mind as clear as this, I steadied my heart to leave a love story that was forced to run aground because of the wrong time.

' It seems like the upcoming festival is the perfect time to leave all this madness behind and move away from my death flag!'.
