"We are here to check if there's any suspicious person around."one of the officials announced. The boys stood up and mixed up with the crowd. Maxwell carried the cup of wine on the table and chugged it down in a Go. The three officials went around, staring at the people's faces and staring at the portraits in their hand. One stopped beside them and peered his eyes down at Maxwell. "What's going on?"Laquan spoke up, diverting the official's attention to himself. "Scholar Kim. A man stole some valuables from the minster's house last night. The minister has ordered us to find the man for him."the official replied. Laquan nodded. "Okay. How sure are you that he would still be in the city, though?" "As far as we know,he shouldn't be that far from here. We've blocked all the exits in the city also." "Good luck on finding him then." "Thank you, Scholar."the official bowed a little,glanced at Maxwell before moving away. "They are all corrupts officials. They've refused to attend to
"You guys.."he drawled with a scoff. Teodara glanced at Lucas. Did she said something wrong?. "Follow me."he said and began walking away. Dora gave a relieved sigh before prodding her head towards Lucas and he gave a gentle nod. She tailed behind the guy until they got to a room. "Here."he said to her. Dora nodded and went inside. The door shut behind her and she stared back at it. "Which flavor do you want?"a masculine voice questioned. She faced his direction. He was putting on a black hoodie with its cap on. The bulb in the room was of purple color, making the room dimmed,and his face hard to see. "Flavor?"he grunted out. Dora blinked. Well,she doesn't know that. But,that should..be the type of the drug she wants,right?. "Hmm,strawberry."she said the name of the flavor that came to her mind. "Strawberry?."he scoffed. "Yes."Dora smiled. She could see him gawk at her. "You new here?"he observed. Dora's eyes twitched. How did he figured that out?. "Well..no."she
He turned to them after hanging up the phone."You can meet with the boss today. He will be here in the next one hour."he announced.Teodora camouflaged her excitement by raising her brows up at him in an indifferent look."Really?. Alright."she nodded."My lady,you could drink from your vodka before he comes. After all, you've been craving for it all these while."Lucas uttered.Dora shot her gaze up at him.What the fvck?!!The side of his lips curled up into a smirk."Although, there's a room designed for the consumption of this,I don't mind you taking some snuffs here."the guy said,removed his hoodie cap from his head and sat down on the chair.Dora glared at Lucas.How could he push her into that situation?.He knew, certainly, that she doesn't do drugs.Teodora chuckled, nervously."I like staying in seclusion whenever I wanna do that. It's like meditating.So,you would need to excuse me but it doesn't make sense for you to leave here.I'd just stay still,and till I'm done here.
Teodora's eyes twitched and she cleared her throat."They are many. I am not sure if they are the type of person you could get in touch with also."she scratched her brow."Is that you underestimating me?"he peered his eyes at her."It could be that."Dora shrugged.He scoffed and strides to the chair.He kicked it back and plunked down on it, heavily.Teodora pierced her gaze into his, fiercely.He smirks before dipping his hands in his jacket.He brought out a pack of cigarette and took one out.He put it in his mouth before lighting it up.He released wisps of the smoke in her face and scoffed."Maybe you don't know who you are talking to. I don't give a damn about people. If you appear too gutsy,then I'd pull out your gut."he uttered,hoarsely.Teodara clicked her tongue."I bet you don't know who I am also. I don't like to admit this myself, but I am a powerful woman that can send you back to the ground within seconds."she crossed her legs.He stared at her before laughing, boister
Teodora glide backwards on the floor, lowering her body.The dagger went over her and landed on the wall.She jumped back on her feet and scoffed."You're gonna kill a lawyer?""I don't see any reason to allow you leave here alive."he glared at her.The door opened and Lucas, Oscar and two other cops came inside."What time is it?. Party time?!!"Oscar hollered.He locked the door and jingled the key in the air before dropping it in his pocket."No going back. We dance till we drop dead tonight."he smirked."Come on,don't be so romantic."Lucas chuckled."Tell the other boys to get the hell in here!!"the broken tooth guy yelled at the previous guy."I already had the DJ increase the music insanely loud. Your boys should be busy dancing with girls I matched them with now."Oscar smacked his lips."The room is soundproof too. So, it's a dumb approach."Lucas chipped in."Take them down!"the guy screamed.Lucas rolled his eyes."Why go for such stereotypical statement?."he scoffed.Two men r
"On whose order?"Stephen thundered.He strides inside with Oscar and Lucas behind him.He stopped before the chief and slopes his head to the side."Can you be more noble,officer?"he frowned."You're going to release these criminals out there in the streets?. To harm the harmless citizens?."he pointed his walking staff at him.The chief let's out a jeer and scrunched up his nose."I bet you aren't from here either. Can..can you outsiders stop poking your noses in Edinburgh's problem?."he scoffed.Stephen sighed and slipped his hand into his jacket."I see you're the nutcase type,huh?"he brought his phone out then dialed a number.When the line got connected,he handed the phone over to the chief who collected it reluctantly."Hello?"he said into the phone,his gaze not leaving Stephen."The..the commissioner?.."his eyes widened."I..yes,sir. Yes,sir!!"he saluted before passing the phone back to Stephen."Thank you,friend."Stephen smiled.He exchanged few words with the commissioner befo
The princess committed a murder?The other guard poked the guy that'd said that on his ribs before clearing his throat.Laquan itched his earlobe before staring away."I'll come back another time then,"he uttered and turned back to leave."Did you perhaps heard what he said? You didn't, right?"the guard asked, bringing Quan to a stop in his steps."Huh? What he said? What did he said?"Laquan pretended not to have heard that."Oh, it's nothing, Scholar Kim,"the guard gave an anxious grin.Quan nodded before turning and leaving, finally."Did you meet with them?"Dora asks as Laquan steps inside the room.He shook his head negatively and she snorted."Why, something happened?"Maxwell perched his brows up.Quan nodded with a tired sigh before sitting on the bed."Something scary, but which we can actually use to our own advantage,""What's that?"Max and Dora chorus."One of the princesses murdered someone,"Quan smirks."Isn't this such.."he trailed off as his eyes slowly closed then opene
When darkness had sets in,and everyone had gone to sleep, Laquan left the house, heading to the palace.He got there and the guards stopped him."What brings scholar Kim here tonight?""I have something to discuss with his Majesty,""I believe you can come discuss that with him tomorrow's morning,"Quan scoffs."Can you bear the consequences of this? I have to report the matter at hand to his Majesty as soon as I can.If things get more complicated than it already is,will you man the blames,Head Guard?"Quan slopes his head sideways.Surely,the happenings in the palace might be something really huge for the Head Guard to be out there by the gate,and not staying inside.Must be something bigger than the princess killing someone."What's the matter then? I'll go help you seek audience from--""I'm afraid I don't have such luxury of time,"Laquan interrupted.The guard sighed repeatedly, squeezed his face a little before nodding,rather swiftly."Follow me then,"They both entered the palac
