Chapter 8 - CHAPTER 8: I AM NOT A SPY

I entered my room and search for the light switch. Liam said I need to leave this place early morning so I need to sort my things out. I'm sure I was carrying my backpack when we had the shipwreck. Then I remembered the people on the ship. How about them? Did someone make it aside from me? I guess I'll try to search for one tomorrow.

I tried to look for my gray backpack. My camera, laptop and phone are there as well as my passport and some important stuffs. I tried to open every drawer and closet but found none. I only saw a gentleman's stuffs and I think this is Liam's room. I smiled mischievously at my thoughts.

I laid my body on the bed. I think I will go to sleep first. I'll just look for it tomorrow. I am too tired to do an intensive search for tonight.

"Brother Liam, can you let young miss stay here for a while?" Rika and Sheena was trying to persuade him again.

"My decision is final. Also, she doesn't belong here." Liam sipped his coffee. "Go and wake her up." He ordered.

With a defeated face, Rika and Sheena went to see Diana in her room. they knocked but didn't received an answer so they voluntarily opened the door. But to their surprise, the woman was distraughtly looking for something under the bed. Her bubbly buttocks greeted them.

"Eh? Young miss, what are you doing?!" they exclaimed in unison.

"Ouch!" I bump my head on the bed when I heard two girls called out. I slowly stood up and faced them. A twins?! My jaw dropped.

"Good morning young miss. My name is Rika and this is my twin sister Sheena." They were smiling at me genuinely.

"Hi, nice meeting you Rika and Sheena. I'm Diana, Diana Wilshire." I smiled back then I saw them glance at each other cheerfully.

"Miss Diana, are you perhaps looking for something?" Sheena asked me.

"Ah yes. I'm looking for my bag pack. The gray one. All my important stuffs where all there." I uttered.

"Ah, brother Liam might know where it is. his waiting for you downstairs." Sheena implored.

Eh, Liam? I creased my brow. That handsome yet cold man. how am I going to ask him when he doesn't even talk to me? The twins must have seen my sour face so they came holding me side by side.

"Don't worry big sister, Liam is a good man." Rika smiled sheepishly. A good man? is he? I scowled.

The twin sisters were both hopping and humming an unfamiliar tone. The merry atmosphere around them somehow lifted my spirit and I am now smiling and laughing with them. They are definitely contagious.

We reach the kitchen and I saw Liam again, sitting at the head chair. Then I saw seven young men sitting opposite each other. they were looking at us in awe, except Liam.

"H-Hi. Good morning." I forced a smile. I don't know how to act in front of these gals. They were all wearing some kind of weird knight's outfit. Are they perhaps going to attend a cosplay party? Why am I feeling that they were all wearing some stuffs that I only see on cosplays? They are actually giving me a royalty vibes or perhaps this country is being ruled by a king and the people were not civilized yet? I shrugged that thought off. it's too far from reality.

They smiled back at me and I immediately felt belong. But that momentum died when Liam coughed intentionally and I was like, what a nuisance.

"Sit and eat." I heard him speak coldly. Then the twins pulled me to an empty chair. Then an awkward silence engulfed the place and I can't stand it so I tried to break that atmosphere with a joke.

"What are you wearing guys? Are you going to attend a cosplay tournament? Or maybe you're shooting a movie?" I was smiling when I said that but I found everyone staring at me in confusion.

"Cosplay? What is that big sister?" Rika asked curiously.

"Cosplay. you guys and your outfits. I only see them if not in a movie, then it would be on a cosplay." I laughed hilariously. But once again, they looked at themselves then back at me. Then I suddenly felt Sheena's elbow on my side. I stopped immediately and lowered my head when I realized the situation.

"Sorry." I whispered bashfully.

"Seems like young miss is really new here in our country and that explains why she doesn't know anything about our culture." Rika defended her. "Don't worry young miss, you'll get used to us sooner or later." Rika gave her widest smile.

"Thank you." I whispered at her.

"Young miss, why don't you introduce yourself and where you came from to everyone?" Rika initiated.

Eh? I unintentionally uttered. Then I peeked at Liam's direction to see if he will obstruct but he didn't even look at me nor bat an eyelid. He really doesn't care. Okay.

"Everyone, my name is Diana. Diana Wilshire." I am about to continue when I heard an accusing voice.

"What do you do and why did you come here? Are you perhaps a spy?"

I looked at Liam's direction who is shooting daggers at me. Spy? I am not a spy! how could he think that a gorgeous lady like me is a spy?! I snorted within.
