The Emperor's Prisoner

48

Broadly speaking the shape of this headquarters like the letter M, the front there are 2 guard posts. Guests are checked in and out. No one can be missed. On the back right of the post there is a building for group guests to stop by, before the start of the meeting or meeting usually they will wait there.

 

The center of the headquarters stands the main hall building, the building stands from 2 floors, the top is used as a place of bookkeeping or other files. While behind the hall was the main residence, on each side was a warehouse as well as space for group members to gather, a weapon room was also there.

 

And the very back is the cottage building not far from there there are small gardens. Lodging cottage is the innermost building of the headquarters. Rarely used, only at certain times if there are group members who stay overnight. Near the warehouse there is a 2-story building, besides the holding room I still do not know the other room there. Ares did not say anything about the building, he also rarely went there.

 

After getting tired of going around, the bed becomes the right choice to relax the body, lunch time has come. So wait for mom to start talking about something serious.

“ in”

It turned out that the waiter was delivering the food this time.

“ why not the mother who delivered?”

“ oh, the mistress is not at the residence, since morning has gone” while putting food on the table.  

“ suddenly once” is a little suspicious of this suspicious news.

“ s, I also do not know miss” the waiter immediately resigned.

 

It's a little annoying to me, maybe mom's avoiding me. I have to find out where mom really went.

“ did you see Ares?” ask the waiter who passed by. Maybe Ares can think of the possibility of which places the mother visited. I deliberately wandered along the residence to ask the waiter there.

“ looks like Mr. Ares is in warehouse”

“ thanks”

 

Because it already knows the direction where the warehouse is, so just walk a little quickly. There were no balconies or windows, so had to enter through the door to find out who was there. But why is this warehouse locked padlock from the outside, there can't be anyone inside.

‘oh, maybe one more warehouse’ stepped into another warehouse that is not far from here. In the middle of the road saw a guard walking from the opposite direction.

“ did you guys see Ares?” the two of them looked at each other and shook their heads slowly.

“ we didn't see it” I stepped past the two of them.

“ miss where to?” one of the guards asked me.

“ warehouse back”

“ but the back shed just got us lock” am I being played here.

 

Their response stopped my steps. I can only go back to the room. It was all so weird that they were hiding something from me. Everyone here is so hard to believe, having to figure out how to meet mom. And asked him to tell me everything, starting from his involvement with this group and why mom hated the kingdom so much, especially Mr. En.

 

Night began to come, since noon I did not eat anything. Wait for my reaction if this way can invite her here. If anything happens to me, maybe mom will come see me.

 

Tok, tock

“ in” now it's dinner time.

“ miss I bring food” waiter again.

“ I'm not feeling well, you bring me back”

“ seems so, the air here is so different. It's so cold that maybe my body can't adapt.

“ I'll sleep, you go” I pulled the blanket made the waiter inevitably go with the food he brought. Actually, my stomach feels hungry, but I have to ask. Can only eat the fruit available on the bedside nightstand, the rest of yesterday.

 

*****

 

Today my mother also did not see me, is it true that she is not in the residence. But why does it seem as if everyone seems frightened if I ask about mom's whereabouts.

“ waiter, is mom back?”

“ b,not miss”

All the servants hesitated when they answered. Ares once said that the chairman rarely goes out of the headquarters. Only a few in a month. That means that the mother also rarely goes out. I'm sure that mom didn't leave.

 

Walk up the stairs to the room. But before that there was a passageway that caught my attention a little. After seeing the situation no servants passed by, just turn there. During this time also do not know where exactly the mother's room is located, likely still in this building. What's at the end of this hallway, I don't know. So now have to ascertain what is at the end of this hallway.

 

Walk slowly lest it make a sound, this hallway is quite deep and dark. There seems to be nothing on the other end, I just saw a candle hanger.

“ what is this? It doesn't seem.”

Starting to feel what might be behind this there is a secret room, like the one in Mr. En's room. There's a secret room where weapons and other stuff. I've been in, of course, without Mr. En's knowledge.

 

Researching every object that exists, from those attached to those on the table. At the end of the hall was only a candle holder on the wall and a large, empty table covered half of the wall. No drawers or vases. This table is completely empty.

 

This big building can't leave a piece of decoration like this table, all the tables have vases of flowers from the bottom floor to the top even my room table also has a vase of flowers, this is strange. Examined every part of the table, but found nothing.

 

‘ is like a footprint’ but why is it on the table.

Is it possible that the waiter rode it when cleaning the roof, it is impossible. This former shoe looks so contrasted with the glossy surface of the table.

Trying to climb up the table it sat on top of her.

Crack

Like the sound of a lever, before long the table moved in a circle down. So this is how it works, there should be a new load can move. The top of the table is not given anything.

The table moves slowly until it reaches the hallway. I went down and followed the direction of this hallway. Everything looks dim, only a small candle on the wall of the hallway that is illuminated here.

 

After a long walk, I could see this passageway leading to the intersection, this passageway branching off. I took a slightly brighter path, there was like a strange room, lots of stuff and there was an offering table complete with large candles and incense.

‘what is this place?’

Not a single thing came to my mind to explain what kind of place this room was.

Tap

Tap

There were footsteps approaching. Panicking, I need to hide. I saw in the corner there was a closet. There is no choice only that place can be used. Opening the door, there were some strange clothes and items inside. Do not want to ignore it now must immediately hide themselves. Once inside, the closet doors did not let the meeting leave a little gap to see who came.

 

Fortunately, shortly after hiding, someone entered the room. Wearing a dark hood covered her face until only her mouth was visible. This guy's back in the closet. Like doing a cult. I looked seriously at what he was really doing.
