The Butterfly Trap

The Part 52

" Are you traveling alone?" ask her with a flat tone.

" Ah, of course not, I am separated from my colleagues because of a circumstance sir" I replied lying but I tried to show my face as innocently as possible.

The man's face turned bright, with a smile he got off his seat and arranged his luggage.

" Rise up, you don't have to pay!" said me.

' Thank God he believed', I thought as I massaged my chest and returned his smile and boarded the train without the roof.

" Where are you going, miss?" I asked when the train was running.

" I'm going to Capital, is this still the territory of Grand Duke Dagaras, sir?" ask me with hesitation.

" Right, the easternmost part of the Dagara region, there aren't many villages around here, if you ask me that means you're a wanderer, do you?"

" That's how you are" I replied with a smile.

" What brings you to Capital?"

" I'm about to sign up for the twelve zodiacs faction!"

" Hmmm right, the future will be brighter if you can join them, but I can't give you a ride until Capital".

" It's okay, sir, you've been very helpful this time".

He chuckled for a moment then in a friendly tone at the back continued his conversation.

" My village is not far from here, you can rest for a while there and then join the group of traders who want to Capital, they will be happy to accept you, they will be happy to accept you, and also you certainly know not soon enough the anniversary of the Dakota kingdom, of course many will go to Capital to celebrate."

" Thank you, sir!"

The train that I was riding took half a day to arrive at the village he meant, the village looked prosperous with its inhabitants knowing each other, he said, the man who gave me the ride introduced me to Marko, the leader of the company who was about to go to Capital.

Marko was very friendly and kind, he also introduced me to his family and asked his daughter who was almost my age to help with all my needs.

The next day Marko's carriage went to Capital together, we traveled by horse-drawn carriage because no one had a teleportation scroll and even if they wanted to use a teleportation portal, they said, only the crew was able to open the portal.

The trip to Capital took several days but because they were so friendly and friendly, I had no difficulties along the way.

" In a moment we'll be at the gate, we'll rest here last night!" firmly Marko.

All the retinue followed his orders and immediately headed for the nearest inn, I did not want to go first even though Capital was in front of my eyes, I did not want them to think that I was a man who did not know thank you.

" Sisi, let's take things to the room before going down for dinner" said Sabrina, Marko's daughter.

I nodded my head and followed her up the stairs to our room, Sabrina a friendly and cheerful child, she always invited me to talk so that I would not feel like a stranger in the midst of their group, she said, without spending a long time, Sabrina and I became very close.

After we put the things in the room, I followed Sabrina back down, there her mother waved from the table in the corner of the room, Sabrina pulled my hand to join them.

" This year there will be a lot of girls who will be heartbroken" said a man sitting at the table next to us.

" Why?" ask his friend curiously.

I swiped my seat close to them so I could hear their conversation clearly, my face flushed red because I did not know that Zurich was busy preparing for our wedding.

' What the fuck? does he intend to surprise me? that's why he didn't let me come to Capital, it turns out he's romantic too'

I tried to hold back my smile because I didn't want the person in front of me to suspect my identity, and the person next to us was still talking about Zurich's wedding and finally their discussion until the twelve zodiac signs were to be held in the next two days.

' I wonder how Zurich reacted when she saw me here, would she just run to hug me and say she misses me so much?kyaaa. oh my god I can't wait to get to Capital'

" Are you sick Miss Sisi? your face is very red" Marko's wife told me.

Sabrina, who was eating, turned her head towards me and immediately touched my forehead to make sure I had a fever or not.

" Ah I'm fine, my face is red because it's so hot in here" I replied trying to hide my excited face and blushing in shame.

" Yes, the body is not hot kok Bu" added Sabrina reassured the woman.

" Maybe you are tired, eat slowly and then go back to the room to rest early, tomorrow we will leave early so we can get to Capital before the procession starts" steam that woman to.

I nodded my head then immediately ate before returning to my room, once in my room I immediately sat on the bed, my heart beating very quickly imagining my meeting with Zurich later.

" At last I could meet you again, I really miss you" I murmured as I stared at the necklace Zurich had given me.

I threw my body on the bed, imagining my meeting with Zurich and his shocked and happy expression would add to the atmosphere of our reunion being very memorable.

" I can't believe she's setting up an engagement party without telling me, kyaaa....."

I blushed and covered my face with both hands, a happy smile did not disappear from my face, so excited I could not even sleep even though I had closed my eyes and the night also felt very long.

The next morning the group immediately went to Capital, my face was radiating bright radiant, I greeted everyone in the entourage with a sweet smile, I was completely unable to hide my happiness.

" You look so happy Sisi, is there any good news you've just heard?" ask Sabrina to me.

" What looks too obvious?" I asked while holding my cheeks with both my hands.

" Obviously, you weren't even this happy yesterday"

" You're right, I did hear some very thrilling news" I replied with a bright laugh.

" I'm happy to see you so cheerful like this, then would you like to watch the procession with me? we went around to see the celebration"

Actually I wanted to turn it down because I couldn't wait to meet with Zurich but because her family has helped me a lot I agreed to her invitation.

We arrived at Kapital while the celebration was going on, the atmosphere there was more crowded than usual, many decorations that adorn the streets and also many traders who sell as well as residents who enjoy the event.

" Come here Sisi, we can see the commander of the twelve zodiac faction clearly from here!" sabrina said as she pulled my hand towards the crowd of spectators.

I followed him while looking towards where the Emperor who led the procession would appear, the residents cheered even though the procession had not started so the atmosphere felt very lively.

" I came here because I wanted to see Grand Duke Dagaras, but who would have thought that the cold, handsome man would soon be hosting his engagement party to coincide with the completion of the royal birthday celebration" a girl next to me complained to her friend.

" Maybe soon, her engagement day will be crowned as a national heartbreak day" replied the friend next door.
