The Rhyme of the Depositary
114 - SEASON 2
Axel returned home in a good mood. Visits to the parlor have made him learn many things, especially about caring and sympathy for others. He became more obedient than usual. Alice believes if Axel is often introduced to social and humanitarian matters, the child's heart will surely be moved in a better direction.
Alice led Axel into the inner room with a little joking around. They hum each other happily. In the living room, Alice passed William who was busy arranging the fireplace according to the temperature he wanted. This home fireplace is an automatic fireplace so there is no need for firewood as the main material. William has arranged everything. The room becomes warm without the need to cause smoke and soot.
"It's late in the afternoon, you guys seem to be having fun all day." William commented with a friendly look. He saw Axel who was more active and energetic than usual.
"Of course, William! Know it? Mom and I just visited the parlor with our school. There I saw many children gathered together and played with each other in fun. Mom said I could visit them again sometime and bring my toys for me to share. He said, something like that can make them happy." Axel chattered at length. Her round eyes were increasingly round and adorable. William who heard it could only nod, feeling happy.
Axel is a child who grows up quickly and is able to understand many things. William is grateful that the child has a good supportive environment so that everything he needs can be fulfilled properly. After all, looking at Axel is like looking at a small version of Anson. Inevitably William has a great sense of protection to protect him.
"good. They'll be happier when you visit them and give them some of your toys. I wish I could come with you, Axel." William said lightly.
"Uhs. You certainly can't. You needed to take care of this house twenty-four hours non stop. If you leave, a lot of people will lose you." Axel said firmly like an adult. Alice who saw him could only chuckle a little. It looks like Axel will inherit the dominant attitude from Anson. Evidently from a small age he is easy to rule someone according to his will.
"Alright, Boss. I'll just stay here, take care of the house, and wait for you to come home!" William raised his hand in a respectful manner and acted formally.
"Well, that's the real William. Mom, I'm gonna take a warm bath. I want to be accompanied by Helena." Axel swept his gaze around the house to look for Helena and snorted in annoyance as he did not find her.
"Helena is behind to help Caterine. Hold on, let me call you." William rushes out of the room to look for Helena's whereabouts. Not long after, the woman walked back and forth towards the living room.
"Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am. I just got Caterine tidying up food supplies. The waiter at home these days is scared every time I go to the kitchen, so I'm forced to intervene to help Caterine." Helena feels guilty and immediately takes over Axel to walk into the boy's room and prepare for the warm bath.
"Oh my God, apparently they are still afraid of the ghost myth after Sila's death some time ago." Alice nodded weakly. He walked up to the stairs, heading to his room to take a shower as soon as possible. Soon the day was evening, he had to hurry before the air temperature dropped and made it uncomfortable to do a lot of activities.
As she arrived at the hallway, Alice saw Jasmine walking towards her in a warm suit suitable for winter. This woman's smile looks cheerful, like a cherry blossom in spring.
"Where have you been, Alice? A full day I was left at home alone," Jasmine grumbled with her mouth slightly bent.
"Accompanying Axel visits the orphanage. You're okay today, aren't you? Your pregnancy has no problem?" ask Alice a little bit.
"Oh my God, don't act so like a shitty old grandma. I'm fine, you don't have to be that chatty. I'm just pregnant, not sickly." Jasmine grumbled back. Alice who heard him could only chuckle, realizing he was starting to be a little chatty and protective.
"I'm sorry, okay? I'm just a little worried about you!" Alice smiled slightly, feeling up.
"It's okay, I understand that." Jasmine patted Alice on the shoulder understandingly. Alice is a person who cares deeply about her friends. Jasmine was grateful that she was met with such a woman.
"I'll take a shower for a second. Meet me in the dining room later at dinner," Alice continued her steps towards the room. Jasmine nodded and passed away going downstairs to look for William.
Jasmine manages to find William in the living room, busy fiddling with the automatic heating device. The man despite his age is no longer young, but his activities are quite solid. He did not allow himself to rest or relax. Though Alice has also advised William to pay more attention to his health condition.
Had Jasmine only gotten such a servant she would not have wasted a person like William. He will notice people like this around him. William is not only loyal, but he is also a figure who is loving towards the people he has served all this time. For example, with Axel he is also very considerate and has genuine affection like a grandfather to his own grandson.
"William, what are you doing?" Ask Jasmine.
"Hello Jasmine, I'm being a little justified about this heating machine. This machine is often problematic. I always seem to control it." William turned to Jasmine and explained what he was doing.
"But it's still wearable, isn't it?" Ask Jasmine.
"It still can, but sometimes the temperature suddenly drops without any sign at all. So, I should always check it every few hours at regular intervals. "William gave a long sigh.
Jasmine looked at William with a look of attention. William is a servant who attaches great importance to many things and gives detailed attention. Jasmine was very impressed with the old man.
"William, if you have to buy a new one, just buy a new one. Alice is a person who does not pay much attention to financial matters. He's not a stingy guy. Aren't you also given the confidence to hold the finances of this household? "
William pondered. What Jasmine said was the truth. Alice is one of the employers who are not too chatty about finances. He is also a very good person, so whatever the needs of the household will always be given or given good facilities. Both for the servant, and for his own family.
However, William was a person who was very concerned about financial matters. If he thought the items in this house could still be repaired, then he would prefer to repair them. Instead, buy a new one and spend a lot of money just for things like that.
" Jasmine, dear if we squander money only for things that actually can still be fixed by ourselves."
"All right, I'm just suggesting. If you're thinking of fixing it, go ahead, William." Jasmine shrugged, a sign of giving up to provide a solution towards William.
William only silently responded to Jasmine's chatter and resumed his pending work. After a while, William finished with his busy schedule and sat down on a chair not far from Jasmine. The two of them were silent for a long time, staring at the corners of the room in silence.
"William, I feel like there's been someone watching Alice's house lately. Do you feel the same way?" ask Jasmine.
At first Jasmine felt that what she felt was only her worry. But after he researched further, there were indeed some people in black-and-black clothes who came to pass this house with a curious look. Even from them, there are those who look at the entire building and use hidden cameras to capture this house.
With Jasmine's observant eyes, she could catch any suspicious actions. His eyes are well trained. He is very good at assessing the situation. Ordinary people cannot go to the same house many times at different times just to see it and observe it. They must be people who have their own goals.
"You feel it too? Good though. It's not just me."
William nodded small. His brain started to spin thinking about many things. About two months ago, William had bought a set of security tools from Daniel for him to install in this house. He felt what Jasmine felt. There are people who pass by suspiciously to observe the condition of the house. Daniel was able to watch her from CCTV cameras installed outside the house.
"What do you think those people's goals are?" jasmine asked worriedly. He began to feel his brain turn on the danger sign. Flickering red lights remind you to be more alert.
"Come, Jasmine. Those people are very foreign to me. I'm trying to find information about them. It seems they don't have good intentions."
If until Jasmine caught the same suspicion as William, it meant that they all needed to be more vigilant. Klayver is away to finish business. William is afraid that some party who hunt Klayver began to know Klayver's identity and plans to use this family as an object to provoke Klayver's existence. He was afraid that Alice and Axel were in danger.
"So far, what have you done?" jasmine asked began to measure the circumstances.
"I'm just 1ngamati. I haven't done anything." William answered what it was.
Jasmine tapped on the tip of the footwear she was wearing on the floor. This situation is starting to get precarious. He could not stay silent, waiting for the other party, whoever it was, to act first. Jasmine should make good use of the situation. He needs to attack those who harm Alice before they all attack them.
"We have to take action, William." Jasmine said firmly. He looked at William who was beginning to think the same thing.
"You're right, we have to take control. What are you planning?" ask William seriously.
Although the age of Jasmine and William was far adrift, but William was very appreciative of her knowledge and prowess. As a paid woman, Jasmine was a great person who could camouflage into a strong and formidable figure.
"What if you learn the actions of these people? Whenever they come to this house and how long do they keep an eye out?" moan Jasmine. To know the opponent's movements, one must understand the enemy's movements and how the models they use in attacking.
"I've been watching that. These people come to this house every two days. Usually in the evening. But these two weeks, they come here every three days. It looks like the weather factor so they are forced to reduce the frequency." explained William at length.
Jasmine nodded in understanding. He started to create a new plan. It seemed, Jasmine was going to follow them silently. He wanted to know which organizations and what their goals were. If it's too dangerous to follow, it's good to have Jasmine immobilize those people and hold him back so he's willing to open his mouth about who's the boss behind it.
Only, the second possibility was extremely difficult. People in dark organizations are usually notorious for the act of silence. They knew if they were to be caught and willing to divulge the mission, then his family would be at stake.
Dark organizations can usually be very violent. Famous for their high loyalty. No wonder if one of their members is caught, forced in such a way they do not necessarily want to open their mouths. For them, abstain from revealing secrets.
"I'll follow him." Jasmine said firmly. He looked at William, forcing the man to agree to his actions.
"Are you sure it's harmless to you?" ask William a little unsure.
Following people who are members of a dark organization is a risky act. If unsuccessful, Jasmine could be directed towards the headquarters and be caught by them in a miserable manner.
Believe this. Being in the hands of a dark organization as an enemy and as a prisoner is not a good thing. They can torture you with many methods and leave you in helplessness and despair.
Many people are then reported to have suffered from psychosis after being kidnapped and detained by a group of crime-oriented dark organizations. They were usually tortured in such a way that his soul was disturbed and felt chaotic inside out. Even some of these prisoners were used as an experiment against the use of new types of narcotics and what effects were given.
As a result, when these captives were powerless and overdosed, they were simply thrown away like trash. William could not imagine this happening to Jasmine.
"You're young, Jasmine. Let me follow them. Just decide the time. I can still move fast." William smiled slightly, feeling this was a better move.
"No. Just let me. Let you stay here to look after Alice. Everything's gonna be okay, William. You just have to trust me. Don't worry too much." Jasmine looked at both of William's eyes with determination. He was very confident in the decision he made. William will not shake his decision this time.
"Jasmine, I don't think that's a good idea, so—"
"No. I will still do it!'
