Justin stood in the middle of the bridge, feeling the confusion flowing through him, his heart full of bewilderment and disorientation. He had just been pulled into a world he was not familiar with, a world where unfamiliar faces seemed strangely familiar. He suddenly realized that everything around him was strange and filled with hidden meanings.When Leona appeared, Justin's heart nearly stopped. The young man with bright eyes and a warm smile recognized him immediately. "Justin!" Leona called his name, his voice full of joy and surprise.Justin was even more astonished when he realized that Leona was the person who had appeared in his dreams for many nights. "Leona? Is it you?" he asked, his voice trembling.Leona stepped closer, gently patting his shoulder, with a gentle smile. "There are things you will understand later, Justin. For now, come with me to the base. Everything will become clear."Justin stood there, hesitant. Leona's words were like a mysterious promise, making him c
Mrs. Eleanor caught his surprised look and smiled as she explained. "Yes, Justin. This car is equipped with a special bulletproof exterior. During times of war and conflict, having a safe vehicle is extremely important."Julie ran up from afar, holding a helmet, her eyes bright with excitement. "Dad, I'll ride the motorcycle ahead and lead the way! You follow behind, okay?""You can ride a motorcycle, Julie?" Justin turned to his daughter, unable to hide his astonishment."Yes, I learned a long time ago. Don't worry, I'll lead the way safely." Julie smiled brightly and nodded firmly."Alright, I trust you." Faced with Julie's determination and confidence, Justin could only smile and nod.Julie put on the helmet, started the motorcycle, and sped ahead. Mrs. Eleanor got into the car, signaling Justin to sit in the passenger seat. "We'll follow Julie."On the road to the base, Justin and Mrs. Eleanor talked about the past, about what had happened, and the unknowns. Mrs. Eleanor shared
Justin smiled, gently patting his daughter's head. This was a kind of affection that a lord like him had never experienced before.As night fell, the entire base was bathed in the warm glow of lights. Everyone gathered together, sharing stories and laughter. Justin felt as if he had found a part of himself that he thought he had lost forever.Mrs. Eleanor sat beside him, her eyes gentle. "Justin, I know there are many things you still need to learn and discover," she said. "But don't worry, we are here to help you. To me, you are family."Justin took a deep breath and nodded firmly. "Thank you. I don't know how many times I've said this, but..." Justin hesitated, unable to finish his sentence."Oh, don't worry about it! You don't need to be formal with me!" Mrs. Eleanor replied warmly.A peaceful day passed by.The next morning, Leona took Justin on a tour around the base. As they walked, Leona reminisced about past memories. Suddenly, Leona stopped by a large ancient tree. "Justin, do
The reactions of those around him hit Justin like a powerful blow, leaving him frozen in place, unable to believe what he had just heard. The worried and pained expressions on everyone's faces only deepened his confusion."What did you say?" Justin stammered, fear evident in his voice. "The King is not my father?"Leona, Monica, Caesar, and Julie's expressions changed immediately. Leona stepped closer to Justin. Monica and Caesar exchanged glances before Caesar approached, gripping Justin's shoulders firmly, his eyes filled with determination."Justin, listen to me carefully," Caesar said, his voice strong and resolute. "The King is not your father. He is your enemy, the one who kidnapped you and brainwashed you."The shock hit Justin like an electric current. He felt his mind spinning and his heart being squeezed. "No... that can't be true," he uttered, his voice nearly breaking. "That can't be true."His head began to throb intensely, and faint memories started to surface, but they w
At that moment, he passed by Mrs. Eleanor's room. The door was not fully closed, only ajar, and from inside, her voice could be heard explaining about poisons and medicine to Joy. Justin paused for a moment, listening to the conversation."Joy, you must remember that each type of poison has different effects and dosages. Incorrect combinations can lead to serious consequences," Mrs. Eleanor said, her voice warm and full of experience. "Medicine is not just about treating illnesses but also understanding the body and what can affect it."Justin had walked past the room, but suddenly he remembered something and turned back. He gently knocked on the door, feeling a bit intrusive. "I'm sorry to interrupt," he said, his voice hesitant.Mrs. Eleanor looked up and smiled. "It's alright, Justin. Come in."Justin stepped into the room, feeling a bit awkward. "I... I heard you talking about medicine. Do you have knowledge in this field?" he asked, his voice still hesitant.Mrs. Eleanor nodded, h
Justin decided that the only way to verify everything was to return to Mozzafiato. He needed to confront the King and confirm the truth about his identity. However, he knew that returning wouldn’t be that simple. He couldn’t just show up without a legitimate reason. To ensure his plan, he needed to stage a kidnapping in which he would be the victim.This thought gave Justin a headache. Who would play the role of the kidnapper? How could everything look as real as possible without putting himself in danger? He returned to his room and paced back and forth, trying to find a solution.His room was dark and quiet, with only the sound of his footsteps echoing. The pictures on the wall were like silent witnesses, observing his confusion and tension. He knew that this plan had to be perfect, with no room for error.Justin felt tense, and his mind began to ache. The headache seemed to tear through each thought, making it even harder to concentrate. To relieve some pressure, he decided to turn
"The prey has taken the bait."A sly smile played on Justin's lips, but he quickly hid it behind his mask of sorrow, restoring his face to one of pain and distress as he turned back.Justin's eyes were filled with tears, streams running down his cheeks, pooling on his chin. His nose was red, and he sniffled between choking sobs."Oh, why are you crying like this? Did something terrible happen to you?" In front of him stood a tall man, wearing a wide-brimmed hat that concealed most of his face. The man was dressed in a thick coat, with gloves on his hands and a scarf wrapped around his neck, his entire figure shrouded in heavy clothing. But despite the man's efforts to hide, Justin recognized him immediately. It was Mars, the serial killer he was hunting."There's nothing wrong, just a little sadness," Justin said, trying to keep his voice gentle and feminine, like a real woman. His plan was to disguise himself as a woman to trap Mars, and he couldn't afford to give anything away.Mars
Even though Justin had a steady psychological disposition, having faced countless battles, hearing Mars sing that way and feeling his rhythmic pats on his shoulder sent shivers down his spine, making him feel extremely uneasy. Justin tried to maintain a steady breath to give the impression he was unconscious. Mars stood beside him, observing for a while before bending down to check. He smiled in satisfaction, his cold eyes filled with calculation.Mars then dragged Justin in another direction. At this moment, Justin “let go” of his body, releasing all his strength, making his body limp like a truly unconscious person. Mars staggered as if “shocked by the weight,” his right foot stepping back two or three times before regaining balance. At this close range, Justin could hear Mars' breathing becoming erratic. Mars adjusted his grip, finding a “more comfortable” position before starting to pull Justin along."This girl looks light, but why is she so heavy?" Mars mumbled as he began draggi
