The Butterfly Trap

The Part 55

A few hours later I heard the prison door where I was opened, I turned to the sound, where a beautiful and graceful girl walked up to me with a slanted smile, she was not wearing a dress but a Virgo faction uniform that perfectly matched her tall body.

" Who is this?" he said while chuckling.

" Who would have thought we'd meet again Miss Sicily, ah not Miss Mcgnagal"

I chuckled then rolled my eyeballs before turning back to look at her, the girl looked at me sharply and a mocking look that emerged from the aura of her face.

" What do you want? what is the evidence that I am the last heir to the Mcgnagal family? how could you carelessly arrest someone just for your personal grudge against me? isn't that called using power?"

He chuckled at my words, and with a mocking smile he held his hand on his chest and rolled his eyeballs.

" I.Have a personal vendetta against you? really, why should I have a personal grudge against you? you don't even have anything".

" You think I don't know how you saw me when I was next to the Grand Duke?"

He chuckles back.

" Didn't you read the paper? ah I think a fugitive like you might have time to bring a newspaper, but since I'm not a bad person then I'll gladly tell you"

He raised the back of his hand right in front of my face, on his ring finger hanging a sparkling ring of jewels.

" You see this, don't you? " he said while pointing to his ring finger.

" This is proof of my engagement to Grand Duke Zurich Dagaras, all this time he's been kind to you to keep you stuck and reveal your true identity to him"

My heart immediately thumped quickly as the sentence came out of Castella's mouth, it was a sentence that I wanted to avoid even I didn't dare to just think about it.

" You think I'll believe your provocation? don't make me laugh!" I answered trying as quietly as possible.

Even so, I hid my clenched hand to endure the growing pain of gnawing at my chest.

' Is my suspicion of Zurich true? no Sisi, let's go fishing to tell me who revealed my identity'

" Don't be so strong, I know that you're holding back your anger and crying right now, but don't you believe my words?"

I didn't answer, instead of throwing my face away from him.

" Miss Mcgnagal, please, I know you're trying to convince yourself that Zurich loves you and will never betray you but do you know that it was he who gathered the nobles together and told you about your identity and even your portrait?"

" What? you think I'm stupid? stop your bullshit, it's not funny!" answer me with anger.

It seems that my patience was lost when the name Zurich came back from the girl's mouth, she laughed out loud at my words and touched my chin, she stared straight into my retina.

" You think a fugitive like you can conquer the heart of a man like him? stop dreaming, you're just the son of the family who killed his father!"

He slammed my chin to the side, his gaze no longer mocked me even more to the angry look, his cornea enlarged and his face reddened to look at me.

" Cih sucks!" said cursing.

" You really don't believe my words in the least huh? well that's okay, I actually don't have any more problems with you considering now that I'm already her fiance"

" Why did you arrest me and lock me up here?"

" The truth is, you're under arrest for your identity, don't you already know that? the feeling we've been talking about this, are you stupid? what exactly did the Grand Duke see of you?"

" Do you still believe that it wasn't Zurich who revealed your identity?"

I just kept quiet and threw away my face.

" It's funny, if Zurich does care about you, do you think he'll let you languish in a damp prison like this? even though the news of your arrest has been met throughout Capital".

" As for you, I'll never believe anything that comes out of your mouth!"

" Let's bet then!"

" Why should I bet with you, what will I get?" answer me with annoyance.

" It should be my word! well I am not a vile man who will kill others for his sake, though I will remove the barrier before my eyes at all costs but not with my father, he will definitely kill you mercilessly as well as those close to you".

" What do you mean?"

" As I said, let's bet, I'll let you get out of here, so you don't have to worry about the people around you, but you have to go as far as possible to the point that Zurich can't find you, I hear you've done it, even Zurich is looking for you like crazy in Capital".

" Stop rambling, you just mention the stakes!"

" You're so impatient!" grunts.

" When you get out of here, let's bet Zurich's gonna catch you or somebody else?"

" You think I'm stupid? this kind of bet? you know the answer!"

" Of course, but you don't know yet? because you believe Zurich will never hurt you".

" What's in it for me?"

" I'm going to return this bag and these things, you must really appreciate these things, right?"

I was shocked to see the bag of cloth and the compass needle hanging in his hand, I wanted the objects still in the wooden box in the inn.

" What's in it for you?"

" No, I just want you to know that Zurich never took you in its heart, and I'm sure you'll believe it when you see it"

I fell silent, Castella's words were indeed very comforting but I can't believe she'll let me get away with it, there must be something she was planning to do, I know he's not a good person considering there aren't one or two rumors about him I've heard.

I was wondering what choice I was going to make, but first I had to get out of this prison and then if Zurich would catch me later I would think about it on the street.

" How can I trust you if you won't let anyone know about my escape?"

" It's up to you if you don't believe me, but I can help you escape until you get out of this base, after that it's up to you how to avoid the eyes of the knights in capital, but isn't this more than keeping silent inside here while waiting for your punishment?"

I looked at her a long time ago, I was still trying to figure out what the girl was planning, she said, there's no way he's turned into a good person just like that but I justify his remark about the better of getting out of this prison first.

" All right, I'll take your bet!" my words in the end were responded with a slanted smile by the girl.

" Follow me!" he led in front of me.
