The Butterfly Trap

Side story 6

Zurich looked at the ceiling of his room, his mind penetrating deep into the past when he first met the Sicilian, the only person who helped him when he experienced a double awakener, he was sure his life would not survive then but his encounter with the innocent girl changed his life.

The innocent girl who chased after the butterfly with her carefree, her smile as bright as the morning sun and as sweet as the sweets she always hid from her father's eyes, the, he did not expect the little girl to be a purifier but from then on his eyes were only on the girl even though he did not know her real name.

He always took the time to meet the sweet girl on the hill full of wildflowers, but one day the teacher's residence was ravaged by the fire that devoured the building and its contents, and the, Zurich found out too late because he was not in Capital.

He believes the girl he met was the son of one of the Mcgnagal family's top brass, when he reached the residence he fell to the ground looking at the corpses that were lying and there were children among them, the first time he felt the agony left behind by the person who had already filled his heart.

That day she cried so much, she did not even shed her tears when her mother died so people said that she was a cold-blooded monster, he sat for a long time staring at the ruins that had become charcoal, he regretted going outside the city that day because the price was that he had to lose a person valuable to him.

" I thought you died in that fire, but who would have thought I'd see you again in such good health" he murmured, raising his hand back to make a pillow.

" Now I will never again let you disappear from my sight Sisi, even if it means I have to trick you into being by my side"

He took a deep breath then got up from his bed towards the veranda, he accidentally saw a shadow entering his residence, he watched the shadow for a very long time until he finally realized that it was his heart.

Zurich did various ways to attract the Sicilian heart but the girl did not seem to be interested in him even though she was protecting the girl from all the threats that came to her, he also caught the girl trying to escape from her residence.

" When are you going to lock her up in your house? you better clarify his status or the nobility will start spreading bad rumors about him" Felix said as Zurich visited him at the palace.

" I didn't want to do it just that I didn't want to impose my will on him, I had forced him to be by my side and now I forced him to marry me, I'm sure if I do that he'll definitely disappear again"

" again? so you've known her before?"

" Right, about ten years ago I met him on a hill near Mcgnagal's residence"

" Pff.... So he's your first love you thought was dead?" asked Felix while he laughed.

Zurich did not answer but seeing the bright smile that decorated his face Felix had already gotten a clear answer from his cousin.

" How did the Purifiers get affected by the poison garaga Q?"

" We've been conducting blood tests in secret and also quarantining those who are infected"

" Do you think there's an enemy from within that we don't know about?"

" You're right, it seems we have to play a big charade to find out who's siding with us and who's the opposition"

Felix and Zurich agreed to work with the Humingbird Guild, which is a guild that can provide reliable information even though they know it is not easy to make their leaders work together but to maintain the peace of the kingdom they must be able to convince the guild master.

Zurich really should be able to divide his time between convincing Sicily to always be by his side with work that is increasingly piling up, even so Zurich felt everything was comparable because he could see the smile of his heart adoration.

One day he goes to the Humingbird Guild to ask Miranda to cooperate with him, but the middle-aged woman neither approves nor rejects him.

" In fact I am reluctant to cooperate with you, because as you know, this Guild is neutral but because Now my adopted son is in your protection, my, I will seek to collect the information you need, not because I agree to this agreement but this is all solely because I want my child to be safe"

The woman firmly expressed her opinion even though she knew in front of him there was a high royal noble, for her the safety of her adopted daughter was more important than anything.

" As long as I live, I will ensure the safety of Sicily, I say this not because I want you to agree to my agreement, he said, but because I love my daughter and she is a very important person in my life"

" Alright, I'll hold your word but. if anything happens to him while he's with you, I will definitely make a calculation with you even if I have to deal with everyone in this kingdom!"

" Out very well!" zurich answered, shaking Miranda's hand.

As Miranda said, the spy letters began to arrive at Zurich headquarters even information that was impossible to obtain reached his hands, Zurich felt he was getting closer to his goal but unexpected events sprung up like suddenly opened portals and monsters raging in various places and also one more event that made Zurich even more anxious it is a fact that the girl was walking casually with another man in her territory.

Seeing this Zurich's blood rising to his head, he was troubled by the presence of the man who had long hair and had such a handsome face.

' Since when was Sicily so close to a man other than me? and why are they having such fun?'

Actually Zurich was eager to swing his sword cut off the handsome man's head but his intention of breaking it because being a good image in front of Sicily was the most important thing for him.

Sicily seemed unperturbed by her anger, the girl did not understand the pain and fear that gnawed at Zurich's chest, she said, that's why Zurich wanted to lock her up somewhere so that only she could enjoy the beauty of the girl.

Fortunately the meeting and the man did not last long and Zurich was quite relieved when they returned to Capital, which meant Sicily would not meet the man again but she was wrong, the man followed Sicily to Capital and even kissed the girl on the forehead, which led Zurich to a blackboard.

It was like he was chopping up the man with his sword and burning him with his black flame but It seemed like he was an important person to Sicily who made him undo his intentions but fortunately afterwards the girl was willing to tell him who the real man is.
