The Butterfly Trap

Part 6's

“ Aduh”, I stopped and rubbed my nose that hit then looked up to see the person who was fighting with me.

“ What are you doing here?” he said with a flat face, because of our significant height difference, he impressed me with his gaze.

“ Sir Z?” I took a few steps back, “ I just took a walk, spent the boredom because someone did not allow me to return to Capital” I replied the circus but with a smiling face.

I really didn't want to meet him, his personality didn't really suit me, he who always appeared suddenly near me made me uncomfortable lingering around him, well even though his face is very charming still his personality is minus.

He looked at me from the bottom up then stopped on my lips, “ Are you sure you're not a Purifier?”

“ Of course “, I replied quickly while covering my mouth with my hands for feeling uncomfortable with his gaze to my lips.

‘ What is he perverted? why is he staring at my lips like that?’ my thinking.

“ If there is no more I say Sir”, I said as I stepped past him but he confronted me.

“ What perfume do you wear?” he still has a flat face.

“ Why Sir?” I answered while trying to inhale my scent from my hands and even into my armpits.

“ Just answer!” emphatically.

I was about to open my mouth when a man in a knight uniform came up to him and then saluted, then whispered something into his ear, his eyes widened then he glanced at me a while ago went following the knight.

“ We will continue this conversation again later!” he said before leaving me, I raised the tip of my lips and rolled my eyeballs while crossing my arms around my chest.

“ You think I want to talk casually with you, I think your personality is minus it turns out you are also perverted, too pity when your face really captivates” muttered me who saw him away.

Two days later he actually came to see me, he knocked on my door a few times, but I ignored him, with a sense of uneasiness I hid into the closet, afraid that he would suddenly enter, a few minutes later no more knocking on the door, I breathed a sigh of relief and was about to come out of hiding when my bedroom door was opened and then closed violently.

I held my breath, focusing my ears on the sound of steps entering the room.

“ Butterfly? where're you? I know you're in room”, Z's voice calls me.

I remained silent and held my breath, occasionally I exhaled through my mouth slowly, I was afraid to meet her because my intuition told me that she was aware of my strength and that she seemed to suspect me of being a purifier and somehow I felt that she remembered the incident a while ago when I purified her.

“ Do you want to play hide and seek with me?” he said again, this time there was a giggling sound, I was goosebumps.

What's he looking for me? and why am I hiding? I could have pretended to be innocent in front of him and anyway he didn't like it when a woman teased him, I could have used that to get him away, I thought.

“ If you do not come out, I will wait for you until you are tired of playing hide and seek, I am patient, I will not be bored!” added again.

I took a deep breath, letting him linger in my room would only get me negative rumors and it would impact my hard-earned identity, I then exhaled slowly and then came out of the closet, feeling anxious I walked towards him.

“A... a... You are not polite to enter the room of an unmarried woman without her permission” I said stammered, she turned to me.

“ It turns out you are in the room apparently”, he replied sarcastically with a slanted smile, “ I have said that we will continue the conversation yesterday, right?”

“ Pe.... Which conversation?”.

I cleared my throat, threw my face away from her while gulping, she stepped near me, a sly smile graced her face, I retreated away but she kept coming closer.

“ Stop there!” I said while pointing forward with a slightly screaming voice.

“ Say what you want to say from there!”.

He laughed while covering his face, a sight that gave me goosebumps, right, I know what mistake he will accuse me of.

“ Do you really want to hear it from my mouth?”

I go back to swallowing.

“ Men..heard what?”

He's back chuckling, “ Why are you lying?”

“ Lying about what?”

“ That night you came to my room and purified me by kissing me, didn't you?”

‘ Kiss you? I'm not that crazy to do that to you, you who kiss me forcibly, don't turn the facts’ cried me in the head.

“ A.. What are you talking about, I told you that I never went to your room, let alone kiss you without permission, I lo Sir” replied me while holding the back of my neck.

“ Alright”, he said as he walked around me.

“ Then why did you accuse me of kissing you? whereas the truth is you kissed me by force” hiss.

“ Yo” he replied with a happy smile, “ it turns out you did come and purify me that night, even though I was just guessing, considering that in this building there are only three women, but there are only three women, Penelope couldn't possibly purify me because my body would immediately show a rejection reaction to her and she knew that, Aria was a awakener with the power of Fire couldn't possibly have done it either, she said, you're left but the problem is recap your tracks you're not a purifier”.

I'm stuck, I'm out of words, he's approaching me.

“ Now it's time for you to answer me, why are you lying?”.

I just froze, he touched my unraveled long hair and played it with his finger.

“ I forgive you for your illegal medical crimes because you have helped in Red's healing, but lied about the Purifier? you know what the punishment is for someone who has the power but doesn't register it in the state? you must know the rules, right? every society that has the power whether it is a awakener or a purifier must register with the country's statistical center, that's the rule made by the previous emperor, then do you know what the sanctions for the violators are?” tanyanya looked straight at my face, she smiled with satisfaction.

One thing that comes to my head, if they take me to measure my strength level then my identity will be discovered and I already know what will happen to me akhinya, my head will be hung from the town square as a form of warning.

“ I'm sorry Sir” I replied in a clear voice, “ Please, can you pretend not to know this one? let's just say this is a payment for the help I have given when you are almost a monster because of your berserk conditions that have parah”, added me.

My eyes began to feel wet, I bowed my head, I did not expect that the purification that I had done for humanity would lead me into trouble, I shouldn't have taken the initiative that night and I should have called Claude first.

“ I never thought to harm the country with my strength, I.” I sobbed, “ I have a reason why I hid it”.

My tears began to fall, I knelt while holding her hand, my wet eyes begged her, she looked at her hand that I was holding then turned to my face that was already messed up by tears.

“ You realize this is all a big thing, right?” ask her with a cold voice, not least the smile and rasp that painted her face.

I'm nodding.

“ Explain the reason to me!” his orders firmly.

I shook my head, still sobbing, I closed my mouth tightly, my head bowed back then he held my chin and forced to look straight into his eyes but I avoided his gaze.

“ SICILIA” yells that makes me shocked and reflexive looking at him because this is the first time he called me by my real name, his face looks serious.

“ Do you realize what happens if you don't want to tell me? uh huh? just think about the people who will be dragged because of your actions, do you want their heads hung in the city square on the charge of collaborators who hide the existence of an unregistered purifier?”

“ I can't tell you” I replied, this time my cry grew louder, then I approached him and pleaded with my hand.

“ I will do whatever you want, but please do not involve them, they are innocent, all this is my act alone, they do not know anything, please Sir, huh?”

“ Why should I help you?” he said as he walked to the sofa near my bedroom window.

“ You don't even want to tell me why”, he added while sitting facing me.

I did not answer, only a sobbing sounded from my mouth, the room sounded silent, he did not say a word, I fell down and knelt while covering my face with my hands.

“ Please” my whisper finally interrupted my cry, the time I walked using my knees towards him, I did not dare to look into his eyes because I knew he was a person who did not have the slightest pity.

“ I beg Sir” said I weld with a hoarse voice, he did not reply and there was also no movement from him as if he was frozen.

“ I will give you time until the poison in Red's body is gone, until then you should keep your attitude and prepare your answer” he finally voiced out, he stood up from his seat and stared at me a few minutes later leaving me still sobbing.

I sat down, tears still running down my cheeks, I didn't know what to do, I regretted myself not listening to Miranda's words, I regret that I am kind enough to purify him who is already in a state of almost berserk.

“ If only I had not met them, no, if only I had rejected the patient who came that day” whispered me then I shook my head, “ If only the events of that day had not happened”, then I would not have, my sobs closed my face with my hands, my memory goes back to eight years ago when my family was still intact.

The family of Marquis Noah Mcgnagal, a noble family that is highly respected for its contribution in driving out monsters and demons from the Dakota kingdom, not only that they are also famous for their ingenuity, so Emperor named him as the leader of the Pisces faction, the faction in charge of research and development, even the fraction can produce a variety of tools and drugs that are very beneficial to the country.

In addition they are also very strong, they have a reliable intelligence team, a very strong Awakener and also a painstaking purifier, but everything that has glory will bring envy and envy from those who do not have the ability.

I still remember how my family was destroyed, when I was a child, my father did not tell the world about my whereabouts, only a few subordinates only knew of my whereabouts because at that time I had not been able to manifest my powers, they're worried that hit men will target me.

And sure enough, all of a sudden the entire family members were experiencing the condition of the fourth tier, they were maligned to have developed drugs and planned to ally with the demon race to destroy the kingdom, he said, because of the good relationship between the demon and my kakeh after he successfully made an expedition to the stealth region, but the drug development facility exploded causing their bodies to become berserk stage four, he said, The Emperor, who had been worried about the power of the Mcgnagalpun family, believed the rumors so much that he ordered the extermination of all members of the Mcgnagal family and their followers, only a few are forgiven, one of them is the family Morcant who currently does not have the power that can threaten the country other than the title Baron inherited by his family, which he inherited, in addition, the Emperor needs their great skills in topography.

“ Listen to my dear son's father, I apologize for having to leave you first, go meet a woman named Miranda, she lives in the district near the town square, and she lives in the city square, look for a cake shop called Miranda Cake Shop then give this key to him, he will tell you everything you want to know, baby don't cry ya”, he said, she stroked my hair gently amidst the intense pain as she tried not to lose her wits.

“ Go before they come, never tell anyone about us and live in peace, dear maybe you can no longer be beside you, and if you later understand and know the truth, don't even think about doing something stupid, okay?”

“ You must promise to live quietly and age peacefully, promise?” she shakily raised her little finger, I did not reply, only holding back my tears from coming out.

“ Come...sa...yang”, he is still smiling, black veins have reached his neck, he looks pain-resistant, by biting my lips reach out to his little finger with my hand, then he pushes me.

“ per..gi..lah, ja...ngan...sam.....pai... me...re..ka... tau....si.....a..... ka........mu.. se.be....nar.nya...”.

Those were the last words I heard before I ran out of the residence, I watched the house where my body was burned before my eyes, my tears flowed but no sound or sobbing came out of my mouth, only a look full of sadness watching the flames devour the mansion, the night darkness within the forest behind the mansion was cold and silent, until the fire was extinguished I was still sitting with tears there until Miranda finally found me and took me away from that place before the royal knights found me.
