The Butterfly Trap

The Side Story 13

Thousands of questions raged in his head, anxiety, fear and despair mixed into one, he was also curious how the girl could break out of the barrier of the Under the Sea castle.

Sicily repeatedly asked him questions but Zurich could not answer because he was being watched by Duke Helwise's subordinates, his chest hurt when he saw the water flowing in his eyelids.

Clenched his fists as hard as he could, he had to be patient, he could not be carried away emotionally or Sicily would not be safe, he said, he might be able to finish off Duke Helwise's subordinates all but that would not guarantee the safety of Sicily, never fearing Duke Helwise but he was more afraid of losing his heart.

" The Grand Duke......"

For the first time the girl called with her title after she got used to being called by her first name.

' Yes baby, I miss you' Zurich replied in his head.

" Why did you lock me up in that castle? why did you get engaged to another woman after you said that I was your life? can you give me an answer?"

Those words sounded like desperate screams in Zurich's ears, wanting it to feel like he was embracing the girl and wiping away her tears yet he couldn't because now wasn't the right time for that.

' Dear.I did this to save you, I knew you'd hate me later but I had no other choice'

" I will explain later but now you must return to Capital with me!"

' You'll be safe Sisi, they're desperate to finish you off, I don't want my nightmares to come true, so I beg you'

Zurich's heart screamed, he clenched his hands as hard as he could and tried to be as calm as possible so that no one there knew what he was currently feeling, somehow Zurich's feeling became unpleasant, he did not dare to look at his heart.

" Are you the one who told the nobles about my identity?"

Zurich gasped, he did not expect the sentence to be spoken by the girl, he wondered where the girl had heard the news, Zurich was speechless, not a single word came out of his mouth, he was too afraid of the consequences of every sentence he spoke and he also knew for sure that Sicily would not believe him anymore even though he decided to tell the girl the reason.

" I'm sorry!" only those words could come out of his mouth.

He was determined that after all this he would kneel before the girl and beg her forgiveness but right now the most important thing was to bring her back to Capital and keep her out of Duke Helwise's reach.

He didn't know how to calm his heart, the girl was really angry that even she tried to threaten to kill herself of course it almost made Zurich's heart stop beating even though in the end the girl threw a knife hanging from her neck.

Zurich was really upset, if he did not immediately explain the situation to the girl, he was afraid that the girl would suddenly take extreme measures

' Fuck Duke Helwise, I'd rather go to war with him than lose my lover, well I'll explain it and hopefully he'll understand my intentions'

" I locked you up in the castle of Under the Sea so that you wouldn't go to Capital because it was in capital... SISI'S...."

He saw an arrow stuck right in the chest of the girl, Zurich felt like his heart had stopped beating, he immediately ran towards the girl who slowly fell backwards and immediately grabbed the girl's hand and luckily the girl's body was hanging on the lip of the hill.

" Side hold on!!" he tried to pull the girl's hand.

The girl looked at him with a smile, her mouth was filled with blood and the girl's eyes showed relief, Zurich was desperate and begged the girl to grab his hand but she took Zurich's hand out of his.

" SIDES..............NOKKKKKKKK!!!" he shouted as he no longer felt the weight of the girl in his hands.

Her tears broke, she called the girl's name many times, she could not see the bottom of the hill, he quickly returned to his horse and looked for something he could use to climb down the precipitous cliff but found nothing.

Zurich was sitting limp on the edge of the hill, looking at the precipitous ravine in despair, he was still calling out the name of the girl.

Meanwhile Felix felt a bad premonition after the departure of Zurich, called his assistant and also Claude then after giving some orders he went after Zurich.

Somehow he felt letting Zurich go along with Duke Helwise's subordinates was not a good choice, he was together with Claude, he was, including Penelope and some of her trusted subordinates quickly drove the horse to where Zurich was.

Upon reaching the scene, they were shocked to see Zurich's condition and the many knights lying lifeless on the ground, Zurich like a possessed man, he murmured the name of Sicily but his gaze was blank facing towards the abyss.

" What happened Brother?" asked Felix who was anxious to see Zurich's situation.

" Where is Miss Sicily?"

He did not reply, his mouth still muttering the name of Sicily, face messed with tears and he looked like his spirit had already gone from that body, of course Felix was sad to see his cousin's condition but he could guess what was going on there just that he still did not know where Sicily was.

" So make yourself aware, we must find Miss Sicily immediately!"

He's still quiet.

" BROTHER!!!!" felix shouted at him.

This time Claude also came closer, he was shocked to see the state of Zurich, the first time he saw his commander was like a person who lost his life.

" Sir.." call him in a soft voice.

" You can't keep this up, what really happened to you?" Felix has lost his mind in the face of it.

" Sicily .... already.." he was unable to continue his sentence.

He didn't care how people saw him, his world was already destroyed, he had already lost the single most valuable person in his life, he had already lost, Zurich cried with a roaring voice and everyone there could feel a deep sadness.

Penelope who could not bear to ask approached Zurich, she was actually scared but inside her head she just wanted to know where the girl who had become her friend was.

" Did he die and fall there?" he pointed to the abyss before Zurich.

Zurich froze then he stood up and pulled his sword from his waist and quickly walked towards his horse.

" Sir, where are you going?" claude asked as he followed her.

" I will kill the old man, how dare he take the heart of my heart and kill him, I will make sure he and his descendants will disappear from this kingdom!" he grumbled furiously.

" Brother, you didn't take such a hasty decision!" felix's yelling stopped him but Zurich ignored him.

" Why don't you find out first how Miss Sisi Sir is, we have to save her first even if all we find is her body!" penelope shouted at the bottom of the ravine.
