The clock shows three in the morning. Fa'i already asleep. He fell asleep in his mother's arms. And as if waiting for him, Jes'ka came and carried him to the room. Although his mother had refused, Jes'ka was so insistent. As a result, Rose. Fa'i mother is now alone in the park since it.
She remembered their Happy days. when their family was still complete. Not like now. Left only three of them. She remembered what the three of them were going to do, waiting for his father to come home. Playing a game together.
Then, she saw a shadowy figure she recognized. She saw it so clearly. As could not believe what she saw. She rubbed his eyes to make sure. But what she saw seemed so real. The shadow went out of the residence. Since the garden and the entrance to the residence were quite close, you could see it clearly.
She closed his mouth in disbelief. "Ir'ha?" call her. But the figure who called did not respond and just keeps on going without care. She called him repeatedly. And remain unnoticed. She went to follow him. Chase him fast.

Elsewhere, Nar'u is investigating his father's death. His death was so short. Without something painful. As if to really kill someone with a plan that is so ripe. However, why the father? why when he Together with the old man. While he was my teacher. And also taught by the same person as my father and aunt Rose. What this killer planned.
She was sitting in his study. Struggling with a scrawled book in front of him. Nothing related. Even how he got poisoned by the tea he made and brewed himself. She was very confused. Various clues had she tried, until she finds a dead end.
The phone ringing next to him took her by surprise. She picked up the phone. Wish there was hope. And it turns out that the way is already open, although just a little.
"There is a passive poison contained in your father's body. It is estimated that he is several days old. It was like having a small stab wound on his index finger."
"a small stab wound? the size of a needle?"
"Uh yes you could say that. I can tell the type of poison but I can not figure out how he got into the victim's body"
"okay thanks doc" replied Nar'u then hung up the phone.
He got up from the chair. Then, leave the room. He looked at the clock on the wall. It was half past four in the morning. In half an hour the servants will wake up. He also rushed to the hallway at the west end of the residence. A place that a waiter never touched.
In the hallway, it is quite quiet. And there is only one small room. With glass windows facing directly towards the fish pond in the middle of the residence. The place her mother used to love. She took out a key from his pocket. Keys are only owned by her father and him. She inserted the key, then rotate the knob. And the door swung open.
It was just a small room. The room where her mother used to live. Indeed, her mother slept in the same bed with her father. But they sleep on this bed. Not in her father's bed. Since this is her favorite place. The smell of peonies was so sweet.
Her mother's favorite flower, perched in a small vase beside her mother's bed. A room containing only one medium bed at the end of the room. With a small table and a small vase of peonies on it. Then there is a small wardrobe with her mother's favorite clothes. Clothing that is now often used by Nar'u. and another table across from the wardrobe she used to make up herself.
Nar'u went in and took the flower. Shockingly, this flower has thorns. These are not peonies. This is a roleanea flower. Flowers found in the west. This flower looks like an ordinary peony, but the thorns contain a liquid that contains passive poison. And the only thing that can make it active is sugar. Nar'u knows this, because he had already found it when he came down on the battlefield. He who still holds the position as one of the state troops, should know this.
The problem now is that this flower doesn't originate in this area. Even in the southern forest there were no flowers like this. He also brought the flower. Trying to find the origin.

"Ir'ha. Where are you going?" shouted Rose
The figure went towards the city park bridge. And Rose followed continuously from the residence. Once over the city bridge, the figure looked at Rose and then jumped to the bottom of the river. Suddenly Rose was also surprised, she also jumped towards the river. And without realizing it, the figure she had been participating in was just a black shadow. The figure was looked at Rose and smiled and said, "Here, you're going to die" with a scary voice.
Then the figure disappeared, leaving Rose alone in the river. The river was shallow enough only two and a half meters deep, it is easy to swim to the surface. However, not at the moment. The water in the river felt like it was pulling Rose deeper. She tried desperately to get out of the river. His breath began to choke. However, the more he tried, the more the river water pulled him. He even tried to use his magic but it didn't work. And half an hour later. All that can be found in the river is Rose's lifeless body
*
"How did it go?"
"How did you know ?"
"Because the day my father died was the day my mother disappeared. He always put peonies in my mother's room on the day my mother died"
"I'm sorry"
"Never mind. So the result is positive?"
"Yes. The result is positive"
"Alright. At this rate, the puzzle starts to run"

Then, Nar'u heard someone knocking on the door. She also hung up, walked over and asked "who's there?". which turned out to be Fa'I. She opened the door and saw her who was confused.
"What is it?"
"uh, have you seen mama?"
"Aunt Rose? no I didn't see her. What time is it anyway? Isn't she still sleeping?"
"He's not in his room, and I'm used to getting up at this time. Just to go to the kitchen and see the menu I'm going to eat"
"There you actually want to see what or who?"
'Mean? "
"forget it. Let's just find her"
"Ah, you dont have to, I'll find it myself" he said then left.
Nar'u went back inside, she hadn't slept all night and his body began to feel tired. She also brewed the cold coffee into a glass and drank the thing she hated the most. Each time he swallowed a sip he stuck out his tongue. "bitter" he said. Then, she went to the bathroom, cleaned himself.
As soon as she finished, she heard someone knocking on the door again. She also approached and opened it. However, no one was there. Then,
Wow!
She retreated to avoid an attack aimed at her neck. She did not see where the enemy was. She was immediately put to square off ready to fight. Various attacks shot towards him and none of them were hit. She then used his wind magic, making waves quite hard trying to find out where the enemy was. And she found it. As soon ass he was about to attack, her vision darkened. She was startled and staggered forward, then ...
Cklek.
"Miss, there ... wait, what are you doing?"
