The Bodyguard's
Inside the Glass House

"Jeez, Carlo ...." Miabella was wide-eyed at the terrifying sight before her eyes.

"Who's bones are these?" Adriano approached the glass cabinet containing the bones earlier. He observed from a very close distance, but dared not touch anything. "It seems like this has been stored for a long time" thought the chairman Tigre Nero.

"I guess Grigori also definitely didn't know the existence of this place, because she never said it at all." Carlo grabbed the handle from the glass cabinet earlier. The man intends to open it.

“Wait!” prevent Adriano. “Cover your nose and mouth first. Organic matter decaying in a tightly sealed place like this, will produce methane and carbon dioxide which are very dangerous if inhaled directly." Adriano turned his head with a serious look at Carlo and also Miabella.

“Where did you find out all that, Daddy Zio?” miabella asked in amazement.

“I did not continue school until a higher level, Principessa. But I keep learning. Science can be obtained from anywhere. Not always from school,” answered Adriano while taking out a white handkerchief from the pocket of a shirt. He then covered half of the face by tying the two ends of the handkerchief to the back of his head.

“I never carry a handkerchief.” Carlo shook his head slowly. But he didn't run out of ideas. Soon the man took off the gray T-shirt he was wearing, then tore it into two pieces. One, he tied it to Miabella so that it covered his nose and mouth. While the others he attached to himself.

Seeing that, Adriano could only cluck softly. “So, you'll be out of here bare-chested like that?” His tone sounded very objecting.

“It's okay, Dad. I'm used to the cold temperatures of Russia,” Carlo replied looking so innocent. He thinks that Adriano is worried about him.

“That's not what I meant. I'm .. ah, that's it. Let's open this closet,” break up Adriano while pulling the glass cabinet door.

With one strong enough blow, the glass door opened. Darling, Adriano's energy is too big, making the old glass cabinet was cracked.

The cracks spread throughout, until finally the cupboard with thick glass was unable to bear the burden and encouragement, from the bones that numbered quite a lot in it. The object also broke and shattered into pieces, removing all contents that immediately fell scattered. Human bones mixed with papers, filling the mossy ceramic floor that was still wet.

“Ouch! Disgusting!” Miabella immediately tiptoed, then dodged and slightly moved away from there. He continued to retreat until his back was attached to the wall of the basement. Accidentally, his hand nudged something similar to a large-sized button.

Suddenly, the wall behind the young lady moved and shifted to the side. Miabella immediately jumped in shock and turned around. Her beautiful gray eyes immediately glared perfectly, when she found another room behind the moving wall earlier.

“What other room is it?” Adriano immediately approached and stood beside the princess.

Likewise with Carlo who walked past the wife, then into the dark room. “Did you bring a mobile phone, How to mia?” he asked with a voice that echoed from within.

“Ah Yes.” Miabella reached into the pocket of her jeans and gave her cell phone to her husband.

Carlo then turned on the flashlight on the back of the phone, and directed it to every corner of the room. He saw the condition of the hollow walls of the room. Each cavity is filled with multiple tapes and video tapes. “What is this case, Father-in-law?” the tananya half muttered.

Adriano, following Carlo's steps, immediately picked up a cassette that looked so ancient. “We can find out by playing this cassette on the player,” Adriano said.

“What does this cassette player look like, Daddy Zio? Yeah, God. What's that thing? I've never seen anything like this in my entire life,” Miabella said.

“What in your place there is a cassette and video player, Carlo?” adriano asked without paying attention to the princess's question.

“Now, I don't know. I think maybe Grigori knows better. He likes to save a lot of things,” replied Carlo who still looks calm.

“Then, we just bring these things,” break off Miabella. Without waiting for the consent of the husband, the young woman immediately took off the jeans she was wearing, then spread them over both hands. “Put the tapes here, Carlo,” tell him.

The leader of the Seriga Merah Clan immediately obeyed what the wife said. Deftly, he moved the entire tape and video onto Miabella's jacket, then wrapped it neatly. After that, they rushed back up the stairs, until they arrived at the surface of the greenhouse that became the entrance earlier.

“What's up, Father-in-law?” Carlo turned around in astonishment.

“Do you think Grigori can be trusted?” adriano asked slowly, but with great emphasis.

“Of course. He was one of the people who helped me from the beginning. Grigori is also a confidant as well as an advisor to my late father first,” replied Carlo reassuringly.

“Well if he can be trusted. Not that I meant to suspect anyone. However, when I see how complicated your father's way of hiding these things is, I am sure that he intends for these things not to be found by just anyone,” explained Adriano while releasing his grip.

"I think it's probably the same as you having a basement in your mansion, Daddy Zio. I'm sure that until now I don't know, that for so long she has lived with several black panthers in that magnificent building" Miabella said lightly.

"Now it's no secret, since you and Adriana knew it" Adriano said, glancing at Miabella for a moment.

"Adriana knew that first. It's good that you recruit her to be a spy" Miabella chirped indifferently.

"Forget it," Adriano replied as she took a slow breath.

While Carlo, just smiling witnessed the intimacy that re-established between Adriano and also Miabella. While continuing to step up, the head of the Red Wolf Clan said again, “Trust me, Father-in-law. Grigori, Ivan, and Igor. They are a triumvirate that can not be separated from my success in reaching this throne,” he explained without releasing a smile that always looks charming. It did not escape the attention of Miabella, who occasionally glanced at her husband.

“Good then.” Adriano nodded and reached out as a gesture for Carlo to walk first through the small door. After that, he directed Miabella. While he came out last.

However, before they left the large glass room, Miabella suddenly held back her husband's steps, until the man turned to her. Without saying anything, the eldest daughter of Mia just kissed the owner of the blue eyes of her heart.

Seeing that, Adriano immediately turned his attention in the other direction. "Suddenly I miss your mother, Bella, so much" he muttered, shaking his head and clucking softly.

While Miabella who had just ended her intimate kiss with Carlo, only laughed spoiledly. He didn't care what Adriano said. The young woman was too focused on Carlo, while admiring the handsome face of the husband. "I love you. You're the most handsome and amazing" he said softly, but still heard clearly by Adriano.

"Those words were mine, Carlo. Is it natural that I would want to beat you up?" Adriano again stepped his feet slightly ahead of the two lovebirds who were drunk romance earlier.

While Carlo did not take Adriano's words seriously towards him. He responded with a laugh. The man also invited Miabella back to continue her steps.

Once inside the palace building, Carlo took his wife and father-in-law to the study. There, he put all his findings on the table. “Look. Your jacket is dirty. Later I will replace it with a better one, Cara mia,” he said full of regrets.

“Don't think about it, Carlo. Bella has a large collection of jackets. Instead of buying her clothes, better give her ...." Adriano paused his words for a moment. He looked at Carlo and Miabella in turn. "I want to hold a grandchild before I get older" continued chairman Tigre Nero, who made the couple look at each other.

"That is what we are working on, Father-in-law," said Carlo, smiling mischievously at Miabella, who blushed in embarrassment. "alright. Then what will we do with these tapes?" carlo asked back to the core.

"Aren't you going to ask the Grigori?" adriano thought, scrunched his forehead.

"Yes, but he's out of town with Ivan. Grigori had to attend a meeting in Moscow. I think he's coming back tonight or maybe tomorrow morning. While I can't wait to know the contents of these tapes," said Carlo.

"Actually, I have a much safer suggestion" Adriano said calmly.

"What is it, Father-in-law?" ask Carlo curiously.

"Seeking Ricci for help. He's an expert in this kind of thing" Adriano replied.
