Leap Dream (Love From Another World)
HITMAN
It has been more than a week since the hot incident in my room, the upset Maura now no longer stayed silent. He would harass people around me, including Calista and even Poko, who was a cat, just because he often saw Poko walking after me.
“This cat has stolen!” a waiter stared at Poko who was walking with me.
“What do you mean?” I asked while eating the apples I got from the kitchen.
“We often lose foodstuffs especially raw fish” explained a kitchen waiter with an unhappy look.
“What is this?” Maura came along with the servants behind her.
“Celebrate Maura.. This cat is often seen stealing groceries in the kitchen”
Maura glanced at me with her demeaning gaze “Binatang sagiaran same employer, just like steal”
‘so clear this kitchen waiter is Maura's subordinate and deliberately wants to make trouble with me’
“You have proof?” ask the kitchen waiter.
“We see this black cat always in and out of the kitchen and bring groceries including raw fish”
“Then what's the problem?”
“What's not a problem? Your cat has become a thief in this palace.” Maura still wants to say if Poko is guilty. ‘basis what's wrong with Poko who just kept quiet without bothering her?’
“Haa.. It looks like you guys saw wrong, it might be another cat, because my cat doesn't like raw food”
“What if we prove it? Is it true that a cat does not like raw fish?” Maura glanced at the kitchen maid as a code.
“Baik”
Two plates were facing toward Poko, one containing a mouth-watering raw fish for a cat and one containing an apple.
‘They must have deliberately compared it to an apple, thinking a cat would not have possibly chosen to eat an apple and prefer raw fish, but you are wrong. My cat is a strange cat since the beginning.’
I only saw Poko standing between the two plates, and ignored the fresh fish in sight and ate the apple on the plate next to her.
“Show?” I smiled winning.
“There's no way you're gonna be on purpose.” Maura did not accept his defeat.
“Meow.. (toxic raw fish)!”
‘What? What's the glance for the waiter to kill Poko?’
“You put poison in the fish didn't you?” ask me to the kitchen waiter who served the raw fish earlier.
“A.what do you mean miss, there's no way I'm doing it! Miss has no proof!” elaknya and Maura just silent, ‘of course he was afraid of being caught, because not his displeasure’
“Alright, how do we all see this fish going to be fried in front of you, and you have to eat it in front of me!
“A.what it is.”
“Why? Not that you provide this fresh fish directly why are you afraid if there is no poison in it?” I smiled obliquely “Unless you did put poison into it”
“This Mona...” The servant glanced towards Maura as if asking for help, of course being ignored by the little devil.
“Supervisor!” my screams followed the way Sen called out to the bodyguards, and two bodyguards who had come out of nowhere approached me.
“Drag him, and cut off his hand for putting poison to kill my cute cat!” my word and instantly the servant's face was pale not much different from the tense Maura.
‘Cruel? Of course maybe because it has coexisted with the Devils, my cruel soul was formed by itself’
“Isn't it outrageous just because of a pet you want to cut off a servant's hand?!” Maura spoke up.
“Don't I have to teach this waiter? could it be that this was left not only wanting to poison the animals, but maybe he would poison his master?”
“Bring him!” my orders to the guards.
“Good Nona” said they were in unison and took the kitchen maid away.
“Nona forgive me miss. I admit I was wrong miss..” The waiter who was dragged was asking for forgiveness to me who did not care about his screams.
“Do you want to explain to me Maura?” ask him who is still stuck.
I deliberately didn't take this matter all the way to the trial, because I wanted to see Maura do something even crazier in order to get kicked out of the palace.
To upset Maura I purposely walked side by side while embracing Sen's friendly hand in front of her, and it worked to upset her greatly. Those are the days I spent with little pleasure playing an actor.
*****
I haven't said hello to Bear for a long time, the last time I saw him fell from a waterfall. Today I intend to skip Vero's madam class by begging him to let me rest for a day, although it is not easy but finally madam allows with the offer to read her ancient book.
“Poko let's go to the forest to meet Bear!” take me
“Meow.. (You're sneaking out the palace again?)”
“Well of course, we will settle through the back, can be critical if caught, especially by Sen”
“Meow (you want to escape?)”
“Where can I escape from Devil”
“Meow (You always say he's a Devil)”
“Of course, where does a human behave like him? Make me always be bait, and put me in a dangerous place.”
“Meow... (and you'll soon be the Devil's intercessor!)”
The fact that got me slapped, it's true that the Devil is going to be my husband. Haa actually what my sin after being betrayed so often is now even caught by Satan.
We ended up going into the woods through the back road of the prison, Poko of course came with me, however she kept faithfully following me.
When we arrived in the forest to the cave where Bear lived, why did I start to feel bad.
“Poko.”
“Meow? (what?)”
“Didn't you feel weird?”
“Meow (You mean?)”
“Isn't this too quiet?”
“Meow.. (Of course this is in the forest)”
“I also know this in the forest!” my annoyance. “I mean even the sound of crickets and birds is not heard”
Poko stopped her steps after realizing what I said, “Meow (you're right, we're being watched)
“What?” talk me start whispering “So should we run?”
“Meow (no, we don't know who they are, if they know where they are known they might act. Act as usual)”
“They? You mean more than one person? Two people?” I whispered while continuing to move.
“Meow (They have 6 people)”
“What are they hitmen?”
“Meow (It's possible, and it looks like they've already suspected us)”
“So you mean?” I started to speed up my footsteps.
“Meow! (Of course Run and hide!)”
Poko's exclamation made my feet run reflex, sure enough the six people followed us, running and jumping from tree to tree.
‘why in this world should I run, escape, and hide. Moreover, it happens every time it reaches the forest.’
“Stop!!” two men blocked our way and pointed a sword at me.
“Tu..wait, who are you?” now it is clear that those who follow me wear all-black clothes ‘ are really hit men!’
