“You're sure the girl died in the dark forest?”
“Iya, Madame. I am very sure.”
The middle-aged woman with the glamorous retro style dress looked speechless. Although using retro style dress adapted from the era of the 70s to the 90s, the appearance of the middle-aged woman was truly arguably glamorous from head to toe. It uses a maroon color v-neck dress model that was in trend in the 1940s. The appearance is equipped with black gloves with bright floral motifs, as well as matching handbags.
“Then where are those two hitmen?” tanyakanya.
“Come, Madam. After completing the task you gave them, they also disappear.”
Madam Gie, Lucciane's stepmother, seemed to be frowning while touching the edges of the ceramic glass used to serve hot oolong tea. The tea is fermented and semi-oxidized, giving it a taste between black and green tea.
It's been a week since the premeditated murder of Lucciane was committed. Until now there has been no news from the two hitmen, including news about Lucciane. The three of them seemed to have completely disappeared after entering into the dark forest.
“Then what makes you sure if the girl is dead? He could have survived and been hiding somewhere.”
“Must be safe after entering the dark forest, Madam. I have also visited the village by the river which borders the area of dark forest to ensure.”
Madam Gie fell silent again as she lifted the ceramic cup into the air. Bring it right to the front of the lips that are daubed dark red color.
True also the words of his right hand, no one can survive if they enter the forest of darkness. The famous forest is very dangerous because it is filled with wild animals and rare plants that are toxic are also dangerous. Even in some locations installed police lines so that civilians do not carelessly enter the forest of darkness. The forest of darkness is somewhat similar to the Aokigahara forest that is northwest of Mount Fuji, Yamanashi prefecture, Japan. The forest is famous haunted and often used as a place to commit suicide.
“Then, make sure everyone who knows of the incident shut up.”
“Good, Madam,” says his right hand, before resigning. Leaving Madam Gie alone.
“Why is Alexandro here, Mom?”
Madam Gie turned her gaze toward the voice of her pride. The soft voice belonged to his beloved daughter, Gwen Garcia. The young chef, whose name is currently on the rise after winning a cooking championship. His daughter's name is also increasingly prominent after entering the newspaper with the title ‘New Owner La Vie En Rose’. Pastry shop that has captivated many hearts is now owned by the princess.
The loss of her stepson has paved the way for her daughter to shine and become known to the public. Losing Lucciane a week ago attracted public attention and sympathy. Lucciane is the daughter of the late famous Chef Michellin Star Chef and the official owner of La Vie En Rose’ after the first owner died.
Madam Gie also made a report to the police about the disappearance of Lucciane. However, before that he of course first made Lana— the only eyewitness to keep his mouth shut. Only the plan that has been prepared has been carried out. Since there were no witnesses, moreover the two hitmen on the execution side also disappeared, Madam Gie could breathe a sigh of relief. The plan so far has gone smoothly without a hitch.
“What does Alexandro bring to you about the girl?” the question was thrown by Gwen after taking a seat in front of her mother.
“No, sweetheart.” Madam Gie replied calmly.
“And then?”
“Just a little extra work for Alexandro,” replied Madam Gie while smiling knot.
“So that girl really died horribly?”
“Slow down your voice, baby. Do not let the wall hear the evil words out of your pretty lips,” Madam Gie warned.
Madam Gie smiled knots as she lifted the cup containing hot oolong tea. Inhale the aroma created for a while before sipping it. Let the unique flavor that is present from the warm drink soaks the throat. His lips spoke. “Most likely his body has been torn apart by wild animals.”
The knot smile is now contagious to the princess. The owner of the golden blonde mane looked satisfied with the mother's answer. “I got down sad to hear it. However, I also wish that was the case for Lucciane. My dear sister.”

“Luc, come here.”
The instructions were given the owner of a golden red mane that was so beautiful when struck by light to a red fox that could move agilely again. the hairy creature was currently playing with a roll of woolen thread. Counted five days Lucciane took care of Lucy—the red fox she was helping.
It turns out that fluffy furry animals are easily tamed in the hands of Lucciane. His echoes sometimes resemble a puppy, sometimes a cat. Lucy is truly an entertainment unto Lucciane.
Ever since Lucy, Lucciane has been busy. He no longer needed to follow La’ti here and there, or disturb Marry in the kitchen. He spends more time in the room and garden with Lucy. During that time, Luccane did not return from London. Though Lucciane was eager to say thank you, so that there is no more feeling stuck in the heart.
Luccane and Sebastian's recent departure to London has made it easier for Lucciane to find out. What's hidden behind Luccane The Palace. So far he has not found anything, other than the irregularities that are increasingly popping up. One example, the residents of Luccane The Palace have characteristics that are almost there. Starting from being rigid, minimal expression and always looking cold. However, when spoken to, they will respond well. In addition, Lucciane also rarely see them doing routines like normal humans, one of which is a routine of eating and drinking.
During his stay at Luccane The Palace, Lucciane had only ever seen Luccane eat once during a morning banquet. While the other residents he never saw them eat or drink. La’ti and Marry are exceptions, because they still want to eat in front of Lucciane when Lucciane thrust her homemade cake a few days ago. In addition, there are still some other things that Lucciane deserves to suspect.
“Luc, did you hear it?” lucciane asked as Lucy approached and climbed onto her lap.
Lucciane again heard the same sound as the previous nights. The sound of night predators.
The sounds were heard so close from the outside of the window. I don't know where his voice came from, but Lucciane could hear it so clearly. That means the animals are not far from the Luccane region of The Palace. In addition to the sounds of night predators, Lucciane also often smell fresh blood in some places. The smell was common at night, especially when Lucciane came out to fetch water or something.
“What is the voice of the wolf herd?” lirih Lucciane stroked Lucy's red fluffy fur. “Or your flock?” this time the question was asked for Lucy. “From what I know, the red fox can emit various types of sounds. Can be up to twenty-eight sound types even more.”
Lucciane is not so sure, but the hypothesis is not without reason. Foxes have a wide vocal range. That's why they can issue a variety of different types of sounds to communicate with their friends. However, that does not mean they can mimic the sounds of other animals.
“That means it's not the voice of your flock, Luc,” concluded Lucciane with her hand still stroking Lucy. In the midst of these activities, the smell of fresh blood re-smelled. This time it smells so bad. “Where did this smell come from?”
Lucy seemed to be fidgeting in her lap. Lucciane realized this. “You kissed her too, Luc? Should we find out?”
Is Lucciane bothered by that pungent smell? the answer is yes, of course. The smell of blood greatly disturbs the sense of smell. Over time even able to make Lucciane dizzy and nauseous.
“Should I find out where this smell comes from?” thought once more.
