Prince From Another World
Seek Information

My eyes returned to my friends in front. An idea just comes to mind. I stood alone to everyone.

"Sorry, excuse me for a second!"

"Where are you going?" ask Sienna immediately.

"There's a little business!" my answer.

Then I left them. Sienna and Alex's gaze followed the direction I was going. But I don't care, I stepped closer to Mr. Mark is standing in front of the mini van.

"Mrs. Mark!" is!" my greeting so far in front of him.

"Oh, Miss Eriza can I help you?" ask Mr. Mark was smoking a cigarette.

"There's something I want to ask you. It is still connected to the area we visited yesterday. I was wondering how long you been a tour guide?" ask me politely.

"Emc ... Less than 15 years. What's wrong, Miss?" answer Mr. Mark's.

"Oh, then you must know the story about Lucent Inn in Dixie Holly?!" guess me.

"Lucent Inn, huh? The building is not so famous. Because it is at the end of the road. In addition, the inn is prohibited from entering by tourists. According to the story of the inn was very haunted, anyone who entered there would not be able to go outside. Oh, wait a minute!" obviously Mr. Mark then goes into the van looking for something. I watched him from behind.

"I think I've seen it before" he murmured as he continued to search. "Well, here we go!"

He gave me a piece of old, outdated newspaper. I accept it confused. Only after I noticed the writing in the paper did I understand. It tore up the front page of an old newspaper with a picture of the Lucent Inn as the headline. The Lucent Inn building that is plastered has not changed its shape until now.

"Take it! Maybe this can give a little explanation," said Mr. Mark's.

"Thank you!" my reply. 

Then fold the old newspaper and put it in my little bag.

"You can go to the Wanted store in St. Barbara to find out more about the history of this city. If you want I can take you there too!" Mr. Mark offers.

I-i refused. " Oh, no need to bother. Thank you! For the info as well."

"No problem. If you need a ride there I'm ready to drop you off!" said.

I smile. "Trims. I'll go back inside first!" I said as I left her.

I went back to the cafe and sat where I was.

"What are you talking to him about?" sienna asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, just a little information about this city!" reply relax.

Sienna did not ask anymore. He was busy with Justin. While Alex is still trying to steal my attention.

...****...

As soon as I entered the hotel room I immediately dropped myself on the bed. I feel so tired after walking all day. Somehow with Sienna, because he's still in the lobby with Justin. I got up to take my diary on the table. Then write a few sentences on a new page.

┌──❀*̥˚──◌──────────◌──❀*̥˚─┐

...1 June 2013,...

...Lucent Inn that leaves a mystery. I'm very curious....

└◌───❀*̥˚───────────◌───❀*̥˚┘

I wasn't done with another sentence when my phone suddenly went off.

'Oh, a message, ' I muttered as I opened the contents of the message.

📨(Hello ... Eriza, I hope I didn't interrupt your break. It's me Alex. I just wanted to let you know that my party is going to St. Barbara tomorrow, so .. if you have no other activities will you come with us? We gathered at 8am in front of the hotel entrance.)

Alex? How does he know my cell phone number? Hmm .. Sienna must have told him. I thought for a moment before replying to Alex's message. St. Barbara?! It was just this afternoon Mr. Mark took me there. But, yeah ... I started typing a message back from Alex then sent it. After that I took a shower.

...***...

The clock is 06:30. I woke up and was preparing while waiting for the breakfast I ordered over the phone to arrive. Sienna just came out of the bathroom with her wet hair.

"You came at last" he said.

"Yes. Did you give Alex my phone number?" my many.

Sienna did not answer and instead nodded.

"I guessed it!" muttered. That means the answer is yes.

"He asked for it. It seems like he is very interested in you," Sienna said.

" Yes, Vanessa must be so unhappy to hear that!" I said with cynicism.

Sienna laughed again.

"Who cares? Vanessa and Alex are just regular friends" Sienna said casually.

"Oh yes .... How has your relationship with Justin developed?" my many. I am also interested in the stories of both of them.

"good. There is a positive signal from him. He gave me his cell phone number," Sienna replied excitedly.

"Good," I said.

"Darling, they already have to go home tomorrow afternoon," Sienne said sadly.

"It's okay. From Losa to Jackville, it only takes 3 hours. Sometimes you can also visit each other," I comfort Sienna.

"Yes indeed. I hope he still wants to see me" Sienna hoped.

I smiled at him.

The door was knocked, I went to open the door. It was the waiter who delivered our breakfast. After breakfast we went down.

Arriving in front of the hotel entrance Alex's entourage was waiting. Alex saw our arrival and waved his hand. Vannesa who seemed excited to talk to Alex was immediately put on a stale face.

" Eriza, you've finally come too" Alex said excitedly.

"Yes, rather than getting bored by yourself in a hotel room. By the way what is St. Barbara's a haunted place like Dixie Holly?" I was half curious and half seductive.

"Oh, no. Take it easy, today we want to go shopping. So, will not go to spooky places," replied Alex grinning.

"Good!"

Mr Van. Mark came later. Like yesterday, without Roger. Mr. Mark got out of the van and greeted us.

"After, guys! Are you ready to go shopping today? Oh ... there is Miss Eriza and Sienna as well apparently," said Mr. Mark is warm.

"Morning, Mr. Mark's. We still got a free ride, didn't we?" my joke.

"Of course, for two ladies as beautiful as you are" replied Mr. Mark's.

"Trims," reply.

"You want to sit in front with me, Miss Eriza?" Mr. Mark offers.

I saw Sienna sitting in the back seat with Justin. Vanessa in the middle seat. Alex and Mandy wait their turn in.

"May also."

I accepted Mr.'s offer. Mark's. Alex was disappointed.

Mr. Mark let me in. After all already being in Mr.'s van. Mark started running it.

"How long is the trip to St. Barbara, Mister?" my many.

"About an hour. I hope you're not bored, Miss Eriza!" he answered with a smile that could not be separated from his face.

"Of course not" I said.

"Mister. Why do you drive yourself? Shouldn't you let there be an empty seat?" tanyaku later.

"Indeed. But that doesn't happen if I drive it myself. Roger is busy anyway" replied Mr. Mark's.

"Oh."

"Eriza, want some candy?" Alex slugs from behind the chair while offering candy.

"No. Thanks," reject me.

"Brown?" bargained again.

"No."

"Snacks?" Alex kept making offers.

"No," reject me again. I really don't want to eat anything.

Vanessa looks furious at Alex's futile efforts. He said with a sniffle.

"Alex, stop offering her something. He won't take anything from you!"

"Sorry Alex, I really don't want to eat anything. My digestion is a little slower so my stomach still feels very full" I explained subtly to Alex. Not wanting to justify what Vanessa said just now.

"I understand" Alex finally gave up.

After an hour of travel we finally arrived. True as Alex said, nothing looks haunted or scary here. Everything here seems normal. The bustling atmosphere, the shops along the street, is just like a shopping area in general.

Mr. Mark pulls the van over in front of a shophouse. We're all down. Alex approaches. But Mr. Mark asked me a question first.

"Shall I take you to a place, Miss Eriza?"

I thought for a second. Looks like Mr. Mark knows what I'm here for. I accepted Mr.'s offer. Mark's.

"Can" I replied.

Mr. Mark smiled and said to all the people.

"Friends, we regroup here at 12pm for lunch."

"Okay, Mr," replied the others.

"Come, Miss Eriza," asked Mr. Mark's.

I also left the group. I saw Alex disappointed.

...★━━━━━━PoV2━━━━━...

"It seems your friend is more interested in om-om than a teenager her age" Vanessa said with a cynical laugh at Sienna.

"Vanessa, stop talking like that!" reprimand Alex while passing in annoyance. Vanessa immediately chased him.

"He must be planning something" Mandy said suddenly.

"Plan what?" ask Sienna curiously.

"Either. Let's see later" Mandy replied casually. Then leave Sienna and Justin.

The two teenagers decided to leave.

...★━━━━━━━━━━━━★...

"You're still curious about the Lucent Inn, aren't you?" ask Mr. Mark is on his way.

I'm nodding. I have not been able to dampen my curiosity towards the mysterious inn.

"What's so exciting about that place, miss?" ask Mr. Mark wanted to know too.

"Call Riza, Mr. You must remember the night we went there when I chose to leave the Maera Mansion" I said. Mr. Mark nodded.

I went back on.

"Without purposely I walked all the way to the end of Dixie Street and saw the inn. As I approached suddenly came an old man who was out of nowhere preventing me from getting close to it. Well, I'm leaving too. But before that, I looked up at the window. There was someone standing upstairs in the inn. But when I turned to look again, he disappeared. Do you think what I saw was a ghost?"

"Rem .... What an interesting story. But I salute you brave enough to get close to it. I also do not dare to make sure that you see a ghost or not, because as long as I guide tourists there, I have never seen a ghost figure there," said Mr. Mark's.

"I know very little about Dixie Holly. Where the Dixie Holly area was once a dead kingdom left by its people. But many do not believe and consider the story a lie that is only to attract tourists to this city alone. Because there is no evidence of the relics of the kingdom. The area even seems very modern although uninhabited," Mr. Mark continued.

"Kingdom? Far from the impression of a government. Where's the palace?" ask me who doesn't believe it either.

"Indeed right. Oh yeah, didn't I promise to take you to the Wanted store. Come on, this way!" bring Mr. Mark's.

I followed him into a plaza filled with stalls selling various kinds of goods. Very crowded and complete, whatever you are looking for is all here. It's really a shopping paradise.

Me and Mr. Mark arrived at a fairly large store with a large signboard that read Wanted. We're entering. From books, eye injuries, accessories, decorations to miniatures everything is typical of the city of New Angeles. If you want to buy souvenirs that characterize this city, this is the place. But I'm still confused as to why Mr. Mark brought me here. I haven't thought of buying souvenirs myself. Because there's still a week until my vacation and Sienna run out.

"Sorry Mr. Mark, I don't understand why we're here" I said.

"Try looking through the collection of books here, there may be good books" he said calmly. While he himself was busy looking at the collection of miniature Glosy Tower.

I don't want to ask much more questions and head straight for the bookshelf. Read every title in the book. My attention stopped when I saw a book with a yellow cover that read 'New Angeles: A City Full of Mysteries'. Then some distance next to it was another book with the title 'The Secret Behind Beautiful New Angeles'. I decided to buy a second title book. Put the first book back in its place. Then to the cashier after paying I went back to see Mr. Mark's.

"Well, you found what you were looking for!" said Mr. Mark saw me carrying a book.

"Hopefully. Thank you for coming with me" I said.

"Together," he replied.
