The Butterfly Trap

The Side Story 9

Zurich arrived at Capital at dawn, he went straight to the palace even though he was tired of gnawing, with steady steps he headed to Felix's study, incidentally Felix's assistant had met him first, arriving in the room, Zurich was shocked to see a familiar face sitting on the sofa near Felix's desk.

" What are you doing here?" asked Zurich unceremoniously with a sour face to the man.

The man turned to him, his face flat but his charming face was enough to make Zurich upset and angry, he really did not want to see him again considering the last time he met the man peeked at his lover's forehead.

" Isn't this Grand Duke Dagaras, nice to meet you here!" he answered with a small smile but it was neither a friendly smile nor a friendly smile.

" Your face looks unhappy!"

" Thank God you know it" she replied with the same smile.

" Do you know each other?" asked Felix who suddenly appeared at the door.

" I can even hear your voice from the hallway".

" No!"

" Yes!"

Their answer was almost the same that made Felix frown, he did not understand why his cousin saw his guest like he was looking at a mortal enemy.

" Cih" snorted Zurich then threw himself on the sofa opposite the man, his face clearly showing his dissatisfaction with the presence of the man.

" Alright let's postpone the matter between the two of you, now we'll focus on the information brought by master Fengyin!"

Zurich looked at Felix in disbelief, wondering why Felix was so relaxed in front of the man who thought he was very cunning.

" When have you been working together?" ask Zurich.

" Oh come on Grand Duke, if it wasn't for Sicily being under your protection, I would never have shared this information I've worked so hard to gather!" replied Fengyin.

Zurich only snorted but he still positioned himself to hear the words of the man he did not like.

" As I have said before, Your Majesty, this information is half that I got from the guild Master Hummingbird, I will first discuss the higher-ups in the monster territory.

Felix and Zurich focused themselves on listening to Fengyin's explanation carefully, they also shared the information they got.

" Before I explain my latest findings, I would like to ask the Grand Duke of Dagaras, is Sicily in a safe place right now?"

" Why should I tell you?"

" If you can't ensure its security then I'm not willing to share information with you, my condition of information is that Sicily is in a safe and comfortable place".

" He's my lover, how could I possibly leave him in danger?" ketus Zurich's.

Felix glanced at the two men who seemed to be in dispute, he could not help but ask.

" What exactly is your relationship with Miss Sicily Sir Fengyin? why do you sound so worried? It is certain that Grand Duke Dagaras will guarantee his safety, right? then why do you look so incredulous?"

Hearing that, Zurich's face warmed up, he did not expect Sicily to hide the fact that he already had a fiancee from him but even so he never had any intention of releasing Sicily and even if he had the chance to repeat himself he would still choosing Sicily.

" How can Miss Sisi's name appear in this important discussion of ours?" Felix is still confused by the current situation.

The two of them looked at each other before then turning their faces away, Zurich coughed a little then hesitantly he replied.

" Sicily is the last Mcgnagal heir we're looking for"

" What!?"

Felix seemed to be very surprised, he turned his head towards Fengying, the man nodded his head then he said.

" The leader of the monster kingdom is Homunullus and when a great war occurs, she has severe injuries that have not healed to date, according to Zhi yan who is the wife of Mcganal, he was after her because she was from the lotus spirit clan that had incredible healing power, she said, he once asked Zhi yan for help but Zhi yan rejected him because his destructive nature made Zhi yan think that there was no meaning to him saving the Homunullus"

" then?"

" Because of that refusal he finally intended to take Zhi yan by force, that's why he targeted the Mcganagal residence and killed all of its inhabitants, but Zhi yan wasn't at the residence when the explosion happened, he said, he was furious then attacked the territory of the lotus clan that was in the demon territory"

" But if Mcganal's incident was a monster then why don't we find any trace of them?"

" Right, it's because they don't do it directly, there's an accomplice that helps, you know, and if this accomplice knows who Sicily really is then I'm sure we won't be able to guarantee Sisi's safety, not even a second major war will be able to avoid"

" Is that why Sisi is hiding his identity?" ask Zurich.

" Right, Sisi was the only survivor of the incident, after which Sisi could not remember what happened, only in recent years his memory returned and according to Miranda, he said, Sisi sees the perpetrator performing the act, just because of trauma he doesn't remember who it is, every time Miranda asks him he just says the person or the uncle"

" It makes sense, I've heard that Mcgnagal's granddaughter is Prisillia Mcgnagal and she has great purifier power but all of a sudden it's gone, that's why the research section concluded that his strength was unstable" Felix's times explained.

" So do you know who that guy is meant by Sicily?" ask Zurich

" Already, it's just that I don't yet have solid evidence to confirm that he is a monster spy who is in the government of this kingdom" Fengyin replied.

" You guys remember the sudden opening of the monster portal? that wouldn't be possible if no one opened the portal from inside the city would it? as the portal was almost closed I saw the suspicious movement of people and as I followed him silently, he was lost behind the gates of the Virgo faction".

Zuric and Felix were both shocked, they couldn't believe what they had just heard, although politically the Virgo faction was the Opposition, they never showed any signs of dissatisfaction with Felix's rule.

" Do you not know that he is the high noble of this kingdom? if you say something that cannot be accounted for like that then it's the same as you defame it and legally, you've committed a grave offense"

Felix still does not believe Fengyin's explanation, the Helwise Family is the only family that dominates the Virgo faction, so Fengyin accuses the Virgo faction as much as he accuses Duke Helwise.

" pffs.... Come on, your Majesty, we all know that Duke Helwise wants your throne, it's a secret, isn't it? and you also realize how powerful he is, which is why the palace has never interfered with the crimes he has committed so much".

Zurich who heard Fengyin's words drew his sword and swung at Fengyin's neck, he was already prepared to fight with it.

" Wow.wow calm down brother, why are you being so rude?" said Fengyin nimbly avoiding him.
