After Katerina's surrender was completed, Shadow was ushered back to the mansion he had previously attended with the Falcon. He was also placed in the same room as before. Now, the question of this mansion, is getting stronger in his head.

“You can clean yourself. Dinner will be prepared in ten minutes,” said the waiter who drove him to the room.

“Oh, fine. Thank you.” Shadow really felt the need to take a shower now. He felt his body was very dirty, sticky and sweaty.

Shadow was wearing again the clothes he was wearing when he came. The clothes are clean and fragrant. Hanged neatly near a large mirror. He felt fresh and hungry too. So he went back down to the dining room downstairs.

The dining room was empty, but the door was open. A waiter was waiting for him to come. As soon as Shadow sat down, warm and appetizing dishes were instantly served before him. A bowl of butter-smelling cream soup immediately made his hand grab the spoon and enjoy the soft warmth that soothed his tummy that had been turbulent since.

The waiter returned just in time to deliver the main course, as Shadow put down the spoon after finishing a bowl of creamy soup. Shadow was happy to see there was a steak on his plate. He went back to enjoying his food.

“These rich people, have they ever tasted Falcon cuisine in the forest?” Shadow smiled with that thought. The porridge that I don't know what the Falcon cooked into one. It feels very strange will definitely be rejected by anyone if not hungry.

After finishing the dessert, Shadow could no longer hold back her curiosity.

“Who is the owner of this house?” tanyakanya.

“You don't know?” The waiter was confused. Shadow shakes.

“Mr Chester Moriarty,” said the waiter finally.

“Oh? Where is Lord Moriarty now? I want to thank him for accepting me while Falcon is gone.” Shadow tried to be polite.

The waiter was a little surprised, but then replied as well. “Unfortunately our Master is away. We are only required to serve you until he returns.”

The waiter left while carrying a dirty dish from Shadow's meal.

“Ah .. alright. Now it's time to sleep.” Shadow returned to his room on the second floor. And forget about wanting to see Mr. Chester Moriaty.

Two days later, the Falcon returned. The old man looked tired. Shadow who saw it from the window of the reading room, had no intention of bothering him for a while. “Let the Falcon rest for a while,” thought.

Afternoon.

“Nona, you invited Mr. Moriarty to enjoy afternoon tea in the garden.” The waiter delivered the invitation in his room.

“Oh, of course. Come!” In spirit, Shadow immediately followed the servant down and walked to another garden she had just seen.

He saw a man wearing a relaxed house robe, sitting on his back beside a small round table. On the other side of the table, there is one other chair that may be reserved for him.

“Miss Shadow has arrived, Sir,” the waiter told, after their distance of three steps behind the man.

“Oh, Shadow .. please sit down,” he said please.

Shadow was surprised to hear that familiar voice.

“You?”

The man twisted his body and looked towards Shadow. He smiled before sipping on the tea he was holding.

“How bi---”

“Make him tea too.” The man gave the servant orders. The waiter went around the table and poured tea into the empty cup that was already there.

“Sit,” command the man. Shadow followed.

“What do you want to ask?” tanyakanya.

“Nothing. I just feel stupid,” said Shadow.

The man laughed. Shadow sipped the tea. But he's still pouting.

“How is Lyon?’ shadow asked after a moment of silence.

“Operation succeeded. He'll be safe. It's just, his kidney lives one.”

“Can't he be on the team again, if he loses a kidney?” ask Shadow.

“Who said that? As long as they still want to participate, still have the ability, and there are still lives, then they can always join the team!”

Shadow nodded. Either he understands or is just a response to the conversation. “Falcon, if you have a house this grand, why did you choose to stay in the forest for months?”

“I like to train there. Practice sensory acuity in the wild, practice patience. Do you think the soldiers no longer need to train after he joins the force?” The Falcon turned the question around.

“Hemmm .. I don't know about it.” Shadow pressed his shoulders.

“So, when can I go get my revenge on Hugo?” ask Shadow.

“You've seen what Lyon has experienced. Are you ready to take a bigger risk than that?” ask Falcon.  “I have to make sure you don't regret this decision.”

“Why do you think I'll regret it? Killing him is my life goal, now this!” resolute Shadow.

Falcon nodded. His gaze was cast towards the beautifully manicured garden in front of them. “Because, once you try to kill a human, you can lose some of your conscience. Your life will not be the same again!”

Shadow was stunned to hear it. I didn't think killing could have such an effect. “I must avenge and take my son! Whatever the consequences, I accept!”

The Falcon did not nod again this time. He looked seriously at Shadow. “You can't approach it with a look like this.”

“What do you mean? Then how to?”

“You must change the shape of your face so that you do not recognize it,” replied Falcon.

“I can wear makeup so she doesn't recognize me,” Shadow said quickly.

Falcon. “Too risky. You could've been caught like that.”

“Then how?”

“How about you undergo a plastic surgery procedure to change some parts of your face?” bargain Falcon.

Shadow bought eyes. I didn't think the Falcon had any ideas that far. “I have no money for the procedure,” reject Shadow.

“I can help you with the cost, but on one condition,” mysterious Falcon.

Shadow was silent for a long time. Trying to guess what this old man in front of him wanted. “Do he want me to be his wife?” hesitated.

He looked back at the man next to him. The Falcon is getting old. But he was still very handsome and his good looks mature.

“Don't think of anything!” sergeant Falcon while knocking on his forehead. The man stood up and stepped into the house. The dark began to fall in the sky.

 Shadow followed him inside while rubbing his forehead. “What's your terms!” chase Shadow.

“Cute me!” falcon commands while continuing to walk into the house. A servant bowed respectfully as he passed by, accompanied by Shadow.

They entered the room that Shadow thought was formal. The Falcon sits behind a large table of shiny, well-preserved red wood.

“Sit.” He let Shadow sit on the chair in front of him. The young woman obeyed and obeyed. He's ready to listen now.

“I need an heir. Are you willing to be my adopted daughter?” ask Falcon without waiting.

“What!” Shadow obviously jumped from his seat. The offer was very unexpected.

“That's a very big thing. Have you thought about it?” tanya Shadow convinced the Falcon.

“I've been thinking about it since a month ago,” Falcon replied.

Shadow's expression now changed. Didn't think the Falcon would think of himself to that extent.

The Falcon's hand swayed to the left right in front of Shadow. “Don't think I pity you. I just don't want my investment not to come back. I'm not a person who likes to waste money on things that don't make a profit!” ketus.

Shadow was a little surprised, but then he smiled faintly. “How long have you been course to say such spicy words?”
