Comfort

Our conversation ended as the sun came to set for the day. Moreover, I've left the three guests to others, which is a terrible thing of me to do as the host. So I wrote some letters for Dragon, explaining why I wouldn't be returning with Sabo once this week ended.

Sphinx is actually not that far away from Mary Goeise. Me, telling them it would take a few weeks was only a simple lie to cover up about my whereabouts. It would only take a week to reach the bottom part of Red Line where Mary Goeise is.

"Meddie! You should come see this!"

My peaceful writing time was disrupted by Izo's sudden arrival in the room. He was so panicked. More than I've ever seen before.

"What is it?"
I followed him outside.

We ran without sparing another word to each other. To the direction of the dining area.

Dinner should be starting in about an hour... but everyone was here already. All with mixed expressions on their faces. But mostly... anger. And they were all holding a newspaper with them.

"A newspaper at night?"
I asked.

For such thing to happen, it must be some kind of emergency...

"Read this."
Was all that Izo said as he handed me the newspaper.

"Discovery of a Missing Tenryuubito"
There has been a discovery that Her Highness, Eris Diemetrich Salvanna, a Tenryuubito that has been missing for the last twenty five years is found dead more than ten years ago, as she kept her identity-

I didn't read anymore of that rotten news.

"Meddie-"

"Don't."
I raised my hand, stopping him from saying anything.

"No, you must read their last words."
He said sternly as he flatten out the scrunched newspaper and hand it back to me.

With much discontent, I decided to do as he said. And that sentence gave me nightmare than anything in my eighteen years of life.

- it has become a discovery that the late Her Highness conceived a child during the period of her missing from Mary Goeise. Now Cipher Pol have moved under the influence of The Five to find the heir and bring them back to Mary Goeise to receive the rightful-

"Meddie!"
Marco bursted the door open in panic.

Of course, with the newspaper in hand.

The heir might possess this royal trait, such as gray hair with white mixed strand and a bright violet eyes, symbolizing the royal-

"They're off to get me, huh?"

"Medeia, you have to calm down..."
Marco and Izo's words no longer reached my head at the moment.

I was too preoccupied by the boiling rage and anger.

How dare they used Mother's death..!!

"Have Pops read the thing?"
I snapped as I rushed angrily outside.

"No, he's resting at the moment."
Marco sighed.

"Good. Let it stay this way, don't let him know."
I grit my teeth tightly to avoid snapping at anyone.

"Where are you going?"
Izo asked worriedly.

"I'll return in the morning."
Was all I said before mounting Viper and went out of their sight underwater.
