After teasing him for almost an hour, the decided to stop because they were disappointed to hear nothing from him. Nilet was already here and the first question she asked was, "Where's Felix?"
Ishou answered her by, "No hurry, he's still changing." While he's playing a video game with Jare.
Thinking that he was changing, Nilet couldn't help but to blushed. "Oh...." She muttered coyly. To not imagine more about Felix changing, she called her friend Zina who's the current girlfriend of Ishou.
When Zina came did Felix came out of his room only to see, three woman and two girls.
He lifted a brow, "Tell me... are you here to celebrate my marriage??" His tone was obviously not serious then his friends begun laughing so as him chuckled.

Istel sat on the chair looking at the couple PDA-ing in front of her, though they are discussing about the case. She just felt like the two are teasing her.
They were talking about 'Protectors'.
"This.... Red, do you have a name to register as one of Protectors?" JinJin asked her as she lean her head to William shoulder. As soon as she saw it, she almost blurted blood, she knew they are in love... but... please not in front of her... otherwise... she'll be sick to death.
Thinking about JinJin question, she wander her eyes through the house and said, "Hmm.... I know. William should find out who's the current president of Protectors. When registering, we shouldn't put our name. There is a rumour going around like, Felix is the President, inquire about it." She seriously said as she link her hands.
William nodded while tapping the table by his fingers then realize something, "Wait, you want us to register too?" He couldn't believe that Istel would command them to register too, he thought she was the only one who needs to register.
Their plan consisted of, investigating, and to complete the puzzle of this case. And Istel as a Princess was also a sudden thing to appear. No one expected that she'd to do something like that.
William frowned at her foolish idea.
She stared at William, "Do I look like kidding to you??"
'Absolutely no! You appear serious like ever, seemingly more solemn than hyenas when hunting for their prey. Her face is very frightening, and her tone just now was... scary... include her mouth not smiling.'
JinJin left speechless by her unexpected question however she didn't said a word.
Istel clapped her hands, "Everyone, work is work, let's focus first on what we are obligated." Feeling that Istel Red turned Black, they couldn't help but to be sullen on discussing the matter still unsolved. They prefer the dignified Istel than the grumpy Istel.
JinJin shook her head, stood up holding a black pen on her hand then in front of the two she started her talk.
"Based on the latest investigation, the gun which used to kill the victim was a silencer. By the survey, no one heard the gun. And generally, this murder was a plan one. Looking at the route the suspect took, he went to the path without CCTV."
"Though it's just one of a guess, this is the only lead that we could lean on."
The case is hard, though are many loopholes, it's still not recommended to jump on conclusions that fast. So to know more about the case, they should star on the beginning and not judge by how it looks like.
William continue what JinJin were saying, "The car has no scratch, no fingertips to start with so that we could discover the criminal. There's no even a hint of drugs that the criminal might used when killing Lino An. So, basically, he was killed face to face. And that's how the possibilities of his close friends involved. If he was killed face to face, then the one who killed him was probably one of his close friends."
It's very puzzling because the way the criminal killed Lino An was a masterpiece! No, it wasn't! Killing is an illegal work to do, but then again, it was done by a human, a human! Truthfully, humans can be more frightening than those ghosts.
"Lino An's friends was.... his fellow directors in Spy Corporation, all of his classmates when he was still studying, and... the last one... was... the.. King of this country." William said as he circle the probability of those people.
"Of course, his cousins and his brother is an exception." William continued. The two girls nodded.
However, Istel is more focusing on how to register as one of Protectors.
Looking at the board with writings and William subsequently, she ask, "Do you know if there are some pledge or promise to do when registering in that Protectors thingy??"
William replied, "Seemingly... based on mu investigation, if you have no particular to be a Protectors you won't be able to be one of them."
JinJin raised her left hand, "Also, apart from that, if you are protecting someone wealthy, you must keep your eyes to that person or else, you might want to prepare for the worse that could happen. ....Oh!... I'm trembling..." She said with her hands hugging herself.
"See this, the King and Queen knew we are the investigators, so if the Third Prince is really the president of Protectors, he'll see our names... and question us. We should think of more accurate plan about this." Pairing up the possibilities, William and JinJin agreed to Istel's sayings.
Istel looked at the couple, "For now, end of the meeting. If you saw some leads, inform me quickly." Hearing their leader say so, the couple smiled foolishly because they are starving to death. "Oh... I'm not in the mood to cook, you William cook." Even after adjourning the meeting she still command him. William narrowed his eyes, feeling so helpless in front of Istel.
She never thought this case holds so many possible situations but actually make sense. If it weren't for her Superior Lino An she'd never risk her life to this. Lino An was her Superior when he was still alive, and when she heard that he was killed by a gun, she was very furious hence decided to take the case, but of course, she thought hard that it'll never easy however, she's determined enough to finish this!
Killing Lino An is very irrational, she knew him very well because, he stood as his second father. Lino An is not a kind of person who does bad things... so it's impossible if he were killed by someone whose close with him, but maybe....

"Felix, are you sure your wife doesn't like the honeymoon thingy?? You didn't scare her right?" Ishou said looking at him. Felix looked at him tired to answer the same questions all over again, it was like, his friends continuously to ask him the same question whenever they have time.
Seeing Felix won't answer, je averyed his eye to the foods on the table.
••••
Their six days staying at their friends house gone smoothly but Istel couldn't believe that six days was so fast as wind. It's jut like a blink of an eye, then se had to meet him again.
Though, certainty, he has good face... it's not like it's for her to compliment... is she really love him, she wouldn't be mad and tired about this marriage thingy... but she just doesn't like him.
Waving goodbye to her teammates, she looked tired and just sigh all the time on the way. Eve the taxi driver got tired of hearing her sigh again and again!
She paid the bill, then directly went to their house because it's cold outside. Surely, she was unwilling to go inside the house but she had to. Gladly, that time she asked Felix the password of the house, if she didn't she'll get cold easily.
As soon as she put her feet inside, she felt that he isn't here, she thought that he probably be sleeping but he still isn't here.
She heated up a water to lessen her coldness.
At the last bit of the warm water, the door unlocked and Felix came in with his luggage. He wore a smile she never seen back then, just now. He is smiling because the six days was worth to leisure.
