SURO
Spy actually...

I gasped at Danniel's words. Although brothers, but I do not know Danniel fully. But, seeing how he behaved, I felt he was so cool to be a role model. A really tough brother.

Papa let out a long sigh, walked towards Danniel and patted him on the shoulder until Danniel turned his head up. "Son, for that.. Papa feels very proud of you. But do you know what the consequences are??"

Danniel. "Because I know, that's why I dare to take that risk" he said.

"Before, do you remember the punishment you were about to execute for hiding our family's secret book to your sister's room?" ask papa again.

Danniel immediately fell silent in a thousand languages, from the look on his face, as if he objected to do whatever punishment they had agreed to.

"I.. Willing." he continued in a voice that sounded heavy and deep.

After attending the funeral, I saw my workers starting to disperse from the ranks, as well as my family members.

I saw Danniel, walking in the opposite direction alone from the crowd. I frowned, as he walked towards the garden of jasmine flowers.

I followed him, he sat alone with his stiff body on the grass, with two hands that he held up to his knees. When I stepped on some crisp twigs, Danniel gasped and turned towards me.

"You?" danniel asked, his countenance somewhat surprised. "Why are you here?" ask again.

I walked closer to him. "May I sit here?" I asked while pointing at the empty grass next to him.

He shifted his body without answering, as if to say that I could sit next to him. We sat close to each other, but both were silent and silent.

I looked back at Danniel, while Danniel stole a glance at me. It was awkward, what should I say to him? It seems like he is not the type of person who would want to start a conversation first if not for something important.

"You were cool" I said, obliterating the silence.

He snorted. "What's cool. I just got into a position that nobody wants to fill." he said.

I nodded my head. "But it's cool, because you want to protect the Gasth'anhm race just as they've been protecting us all along. I thought, you are a proud person and hate their race, but it turns out that I was wrong.. Looks like you're not what I expected." I continued.

"Since then, I've never hated them." he said.

I scrunched my forehead. "Then, Dita?"

He was silent for a moment. "I just hate it."

"But why? You have to know him first and then be able to judge what kind of person he is. He's good." I guess.

Danniel glanced at me from the corner of her eye. "Your mother is too young to judge someone's bad qualities. You're still plain, like a white paper that hasn't been etched in black pen ink. This world is not the same as what you see. If you want to, in this world.. Everyone wears a mask, but.. You're the only one wearing your real face in front of everyone."

I cringe. "meaning?"

"You hear me, I have a reason to hate or dislike someone. So, you don't have to teach me about it. Because before I hate, I've been figuring out how and who that person really is."

Danniel's words caused me to interrupt looking at her. "Then why is it?"

"He's bad for you."

"He's not bad!" my bell.

"But.. I can feel it, if he really loves me." I said slowly, as if losing faith.

"Maybe the initial intention wasn't that good, but I don't know. Maybe her little heart was touched when she knew you. Did you know that his mother died because of our family? If you were him, what would you do when your mother died, to the family that killed her?" I'm speechless. "You want to come, and get revenge, right?" he continued, making my eyes wide. "He also wanted to do something similar. Him, revenge on us."

I blinked. "But.. I don't think he is."

"If he really is, how is it?" danniel asked, making me fall silent again. "I'm your brother, so I don't want anything bad to happen to you. In any case, I try hard to always guard and protect you from afar. I've always been there for you, even if you didn't realize that."

I was speechless, completely silent every time he put out his words.

"Are you aware of this little thing?" he asked, and I just frowned to answer him. "Before Dita, nothing like this ever happened in our house. But, after the girl showed up..." Danniel looked at me sharply. "Difficulties come and go." he continued.

I'm speechless. Danniel was right, before.. Nothing bad ever happened in my family. There was no assault or murder. There really is no such thing. But after Dita came, things got complicated. Continuous attacks happen endlessly, and make all of this happen.

"You remember when you got caught by a hunter named Viktor? You met him a few times before that, right? Then there's one thing I want to ask. Where's the.. You met Viktor for the first time?" danniel asked, making me blink my eyes to remember.

"In the restaurant, when I went with Mr. Saipul and Dita." I said.

"Continue to meet? Or, intentionally found?"

I gasp. "you mean? Me, I met Viktor on purpose?" terka.

"It should make more sense if you don't think naively." said Danniel. "Then, the incident where Dita attended a security meeting, she.. Carrying a wiretap on his body, right?" danniel asked and I nodded. "Where's the device located?"

"If it's not wrong, behind his body" I replied.

"Absolutely so, Viktor whom he accuses of sticking a wiretap sticker, stuck it on Dita's body covered in her shirt and hair? Except that.. He put it up himself."

I blinked in disbelief. But the longer it takes, the more it makes sense.

"He installed a bugging device, because he was a spy who provided information to the hunters, who attacked Mr. Roxi's room afterwards. He was the one who was observing the situation and condition of this house, and he too... Who put the intruder, who attacked you in your own room. Acting to help you, when in fact.. He's the wolf in sheep's hair."

I flinched, completely unexpected for what Danniel said to me. But damn, it all sounds reasonable.

"But wait a minute. I also want to ask you one thing." Danniel raised both eyebrows quickly. "If it's true that it was the culprit, why are you.. Which is always there in every bad event that happens to me. Is it true that you're turning the facts around?"

Danniel frowned hearing that. "You're accusing me?" ask, as if not accept.

"I'm not accusing you. I'm just asking for clarity." I said.

Danniel took a deep breath while looking at me. "So you should know this.. You and I are connected. So, when your consciousness is gone.. Then I'll figure it out, and I can track where you are."

I shook my head. "Where is it possible."

"So you trust Dita more than your own sister?" he asked with a disappointed face. "It seems, he has brainwashed you too clean, to make you defend him so much."

Seriate...
