HE'S NOT HUMAN
CHAPTER 19
Levi stopped the car near a three-story building with many obsolete nameplates hanging unkempt. Even a nameplate of the place has been tilted due to one of the hooks broken.
“Are you sure here?” Arro hesitated a bit to see the condition of the building.
“Info that I got, right here.” Levi himself was also questioning the information he received. Should, if he was an angel from the Upper World, buying a more luxurious building was not a difficult thing.
Arro opened the door and got out of the car while reading one by one the nameplate of the business place that lined there.
A board reading ‘Reading Nasib’ with a creepy made-up writing caught Arro's attention. “Who still believes in such a thing,” Inner Arro ridicules that name.
“That's the place.” Levi pointed at a sign in front, Arro turned to look for where Levi's index finger was. Yes, ‘Reading Fate’ it is the place that Levi pointed to. Arro almost cursed in surprise. Had it been the people of the Kingdom of Vasileion who opened the place, he would have surely dragged that person back to the Upper World. Committing fraud in the Human Mainland includes major crimes.
“What's the name?” arro asked while walking beside Levi.
“Arzeus.”
The sound of bells hanging above the door broke the silence of the place as Arro pushed the entrance. Like the signboard, the atmosphere is also made creepy. The dim lights are red, the posters are attached with strange images, until the smell of burning incense leaves a little smoke to add to the gripping impression.
But strangely enough, Arro and Levi found no one in the room.
“Haloo!” yelled Levi to call out to anyone there.
There's no answer. Levi shouted out a call again, suddenly the sound from the loudspeakers startled Arro and Levi.
“Welcome, say your name and I will read your fate.”
Arro's patience is getting thin. He doesn't like games like this. “Arzeus, if you don't come out now. I'll make sure you won't be able to do business in Human Mainland anymore.”
A door that strongly resembled a wall slowly opened. Someone peeked carefully. “Who are you?” ask the owner of the place.
Levi went forward and straightened his body. He introduced himself formally, “Au Levi, the Chief Commander of the Kingdom of Vasileion. Show your respect to the Prince, His Highness Arro.”
The young man was of course very surprised. He immediately came out of hiding and bowed respectfully. “I'm sorry, Your Grace.”
Arro doesn't want to be so stale for too long. “There's something I want to ask you.”
“What is it, Your Majesty?”
Arro sighed in annoyance, “not with this kind of circumstance.” Arro turned his index finger, showing the atmosphere and the place.
The young man immediately understood and stood up to turn on the light switch until the atmosphere in the place became bright. He immediately locked the main door and closed all the windows tightly. Not to forget, he also turned off the incense that was still burning.
The young man also now shifted a soft chair for Arro to sit in. After that, he knelt down in front of Arro. “Is there anything I can do again, Your Majesty?”
“Stand. I won't be here long.” Arro then occupied the chair.
The young man stood up, but remained lowered to show his respect. He swallowed his saliva to overcome his nervousness. For him, the arrival of the members of the Vasileion Main Kingdom was an almost impossible possibility.
“When did you last visit Aelios Kingdom?” Arro started the question.
“About 10 years ago, Your Grace.”
Arro now glanced at Levi who was standing beside him. They think the same thing. That means, the young man was still in Aelios Kingdom when Bella was born.
“Do you know anything about Queen Camelia?”
The young man did not immediately reply, it was a disgrace from his kingdom. “Ampuni me, Your Majesty, but, Queen Camelia has not been around for a long time.”
“I know, you just have to answer what I asked.”
“What happened?”
“Queen Camelia chose to leave her pragma and marry a human.”
The information was enough to shock Arro. “Is he an angel whose news reached Vasileion Kingdom?” arro asked Levi.
“It seems right, Your Highness,” Levi replied formally.
“Then, what happened?” ask Arro again to Arzeus.
“We don't get much information, Your Majesty. Because we are just ordinary people. Even information on how and what happened in the palace during the rebellion was covered by members of the kingdom. If anyone dares to bring out the news is not true. Then, will immediately get a termite.”
“Rebellion?”
“Pragma The Queen came and destroyed the contents of the palace and ... killed the Queen's husband.”
Arro and Levi were of course very surprised by the information.
“Puni me, Your Majesty. Only that information was shared with the people of Aelios.”
Arro was a little disappointed with that very little information. There was nothing more he could ask. Therefore, Arro got up from his seat and invited Levi to leave the place.
“Your Highness..” call Arzeus.
Arro and Levi turned back.
“Can I know this about what?”
“No, you don't need to know.” Arro was about to turn back and leave before the sentence from Arzeus stopped his steps.
“Is this about the Queen's descent?” asked Arzues very carefully.
Arro and Levi did not reply but the look on their faces waited for Arzeus to continue his own sentence.
“I don't know what happened in the palace back then, but I can read someone's thoughts and memories.”
Levi had now advanced quickly, twisting Arzeus' hand forcing him back to his knees with the hand still in the grip by Levi.
“You know it's a crime, how many people have you trapped?”
Arzeus grimaced as he held his dislocated shoulder, “Though me Sir, those who came and asked me to read their fate. I know it's a crime to do it without their consent.”
“Levi, release,” Arro's now lowered command equalizes his height with Arzeus still kneeling.
Levi let Arzeus off violently.
“Arzeus, I will only ask this once. I'll finish you off at this place if you lie. Understand?” Arro tried to look Arzeus in the eye. Reading his eye movements.
“I can't dare, Your Grace.”
“Good, now answer my question. Have you ever met Argus?”
Arzeus immediately raised his face hearing that name. Arzeus's eyes stared at Arro with a flash of anger and sadness fused in that gaze. “Of course, Your Majesty. I can't forget my first meeting with Argus. The meeting that caused me to lose my wife and child.”
Arro re-enforced his body. Without taking his eyes off Arzeus, who was now weak. “Levi, take Arzeus to Top World Headquarters.”
