Chapter 11 - Chapter 11

|Secret Mission|

The sunlight poured through the window. Another day had dawned, bringing with its new hopes and aspirations.

As the light of the sun began to ambles on Lucas's face, he then arouses from sleeping due to its brightness.. Stretching his arms upward after rubbing his eyes.

[Lucas: Hhaaaahhh, I feel a bit dizzy... Gotta go to the toilet.]

Covering his mouth using his hand to stifle a yawn, he went outside his room to go to the bathroom. He walks along the corridor, there are 2 doors on both sides, behind are the rooms of the girls. The first 2 doors on his right were Charlotte's and Lily's room. The first door on the left was Olivia's room, while the other one was Micaela's and Hazel's. There are still enough rooms for them. However, Hazel wants to have someone by her side as she sleeps. Therefore, Micaela decided to sleep with her.

After walking towards the door where the bathroom was, he then opens it before him and went inside, there he sees...

[Lucas: ....?!?!!? (H-how marvelo- I mean.. DAMN IT!!!) Sorry!!! I didn't mean to look at you Micael-!!]

His apprehensive behavior begins to reveal. Gulping, he tried to tell Micaela that it was an accident. Nonetheless, Micaela who's stark naked, directly punches him on the face prior to making an excuse. While Lucas, conversely, started flying out from the bathroom.

[Lucas: Not.. Again...]

He pass out just before Ethan emerges from Lucas's shadow.

[Ethan: Lucas, I have something to tell.. you.... Hey!! What in the world happened here?!?!]

Ethan used his magic to teleport himself to Lucas. He immediately notices Lucas lying on the floor and slaps him hard, hoping and thinking it's the only method to wake Lucas up in the meantime. In search of what's going on, Ethan felt something on his rear. He instantly guarded up and concomitantly turned around out of curiosity.

[Ethan: ?!?... (She's strong, but why-) I see.. Lucas.. You bastard peeping tom.. Earl..y.. Mor..ning...]

Even though he was prepared, he panicked immediately upon seeing Micaela and lowered his defense. Thus, he ends up the same as Lucas.

35 minutes later...

[Lucas: ....]

[Ethan:...]

Both of them are asleep until Lucas opened up his eyes and saw Ethan beside him..

[Lucas: .... WHUAAAHHH!!!]

Out of shock, he deliberately push Ethan out of the bed.

[Ethan: ?!?! It hurts!! What's the matter with you idiot!]

Ethan hits his head on the floor. Shouting to him as he carefully massages it.

The girls hastily sprinted subsequently after hearing that bizarre sound coming from Lucas's room, they open the door in an instant. Seeing Lucas and Ethan sitting on a chair as they face each other. Lucas waves at them, while Ethan nods his head to indicate that nothing important has happened.

[Lucas: Who do you think carried us earlier?]

[Ethan: I feel it would be better not to make assumptions but.. It's obvious who...]

They chat in low voice for the girls not to be able to hear what they're talking about. The girls were sighing and concurrently wondering why Ethan was there in Lucas's room without even making contact with them. Micaela on the contrary, approaches them and asks forgiveness since it was her fault for hitting them unintentionally.

[Lucas: It's fine, it was my fault for opening the door in the first place..(though the door wasn't even locked...)]

[Ethan: Well, you could have just laid me on the sofa or something.. But I humbly commend your strength despite being a woman.]

Ethan didn't even care the fact that he has been hit. He elegantly holds Micaela's hand and shakes it to give some praise.

[Lucas: Why are you here again?...(I think...)]

[Ethan: Oh right! Mind if I borrow Lucas for a little?]

[Lucas: (I ain't a toy, you fool!)]

Ethan asks them and they accepted it. Without further fuss, they went outside to settle things...

[Lily: Hey everyone... Where do you thin-]

[Olivia: Uh huh, not again Lily. I told you not to even think of spying them. Come on Micaela, let's get back to business.. Again Lily, don't even think of doing it.]

[Lily: Y- yeah...]

Lily frowns her eyebrows and forms a pensive mouth, Charlotte comforts Lily and eventually told her that Olivia was right. It was probably something important since, Silhouette Crimson was there the other day. They began to continue their chores in the morning after convincing Lily to stop...

(Lucas's point)

On a sunny morning, the birds were chirping across the sky. The barks of a dog can be heard around the corner as the two pass by. They were walking in a slow pace as they discuss their mission.

[Ethan: There will be a gathering of aristocrats in that brothel this evening. I already made some arrangements this morning. The rest, just do what I say, alright?]

[Lucas: Seriously? Of all the places they can meet, they chose the brothel?? (I guess.. That expensive looking room where the owner and I chatted will be the meeting place...)]

They carry on with their discussion while heading to the brothel as the center of their plans...

At the front of the brothel, Ethan knocks on the door thrice to let them know that they arrive. The owner appeared before them, greeting Lucas and Ethan as they shake hands before going inside.

[Ethan: Ohh, Lucas.. You want to visit someone right? You can go as you please.]

[Lucas: Ahh! Right, I'll excuse myself then.]

The owner let Lucas go and continued to advance towards the room together with Ethan exclusively for nobles. Lucas frantically walks around the place, searching every nook and cranny to find some useful clues.

[Lucas: Hmm... This room...!]

Lucas found a dark storage room that was unlocked for some reasons.. He then went inside to explore the place. After a minute of looking around.. An unexpected visitor came in..

[???: .... Did I open the door this wide?..]

The door was left unlocked because of that person's deed. Lucas heard the footstep that's coming on his way. Hence, he instantly finds a way to escape, but that person turns on the light and directly sees Lucas.

[Lucas: Wait! This isn't what you think!]

[???: What are ya doing here?!?! This is off limit other than us. Wait... I think I saw ya recently...]

A woman discovered Lucas trying to force himself to go between a cramped space. She seems to know him but can't remember when. Contrarily, he makes some excuse to avoid his own danger. Howbeit, she grasps his hand to take him out and thinking of reporting him.

[Evelyn: Huff.. Huff.. Gianna.. I told you I prefer not to wear any of them..]

Evelyn was there outside catching her breath since she ran quickly to stop Gianna. She went inside to find Lucas sighing a lot.

[Evelyn: Eh... Lucas? What are you doing here?]

[Gianna: Ohhh, That's right! I remember now. Ya're the man I saw yesterday. My bad, there are way too many customers here after all. Can't remember all of their faces in one shot lol.]

[Lucas: Hahaha...(I suppose I'm safe?...)]

Gianna has a caramel-colored skin. Her V-cut hair was the brown of aged mahogany, rich and deep, yet with the subtle hues only time brings. Her light teal eyes differs from her aspect as she laughs out loud while tapping Lucas's left shoulder.

[Gianna: Evelyn keeps talking about ya, Say... We're already here so.. What do ya want Evelyn to wear?]

[Lucas: Huh? I guess... Uhm.. Bunn- I mean Maid?(Shucks, I just saw that bunny costume earlier and I can't forget about it)...]

The storage room is filled with costumes as this boost the mood of the customers. They usually pick those thin fabric to get easily excited... Evelyn is having a rough time deciding whether she'd choose to wear it or not.

[Lucas: Y- you don't need to force yourself if you don't like...]

[Evelyn: N- no! If that's what you want, then I'll wear it!.]

Thus, Gianna kicks Lucas out the room immediately upon hearing Evelyn's resolved. Lucas sighs as he whistles in the hallway. Although he can hear some weird moaning inside, he keeps on whistling and at the same time, he covered his both ears to prevent his imagination go wild as it is.

[Gianna: Yo, come out here!]

[Evelyn: Yes, coming...]

Gianna comes out from the room while telling Evelyn to go out. Lucas gulps down to prepare for his food-.. To prepare his self to see her rather...

[Evelyn: This is.. uhhm... A bit.. Short, Gianna....]

[Lucas: ....]

Lucas was left speechless, deep in admiration as he attentively looks to Evelyn. He was absorbed by her alluring charm. Her blue hair and the shyness of her face is a perfect combination of the maid costume she wears... But the very reason Lucas was in awe is because of her pureness as she tries to adjust the skirt down to her lithe thighs.

[Lucas: E.. Evelyn? Arhm... (Arghh! I want to steal and bring her to the mansion)]

[Gianna: Hohh?.. What's this Lucas? Are ya feeling it now? hihihihi.]

[Lucas: Huh!?! Fe- feeling what?!]

Gianna smirks at Lucas, lightly hitting his right flank with her left elbow as she teases him. Lucas keeps averting his eyes towards Evelyn, yet even his own eyes are betraying him.

[Lucas: KAAHHH!! I'm gonna say it, Evelyn! You're way too beautiful with that outfit! Th- That's all!]

He approached and complimented her. Seeing her up close is enough to make his heart beats explode.

[Evelyn: Tha.. Thank you!]

[Gianna: Oh my... What do we have here? Am I being a third wheel or something?]

[Of course not!]

The both of them shouted simultaneously. Lucas accidentally gazes at Evelyn and he saw her staring back at him. They each averted their eyes the moment they made contact. Lucas scratches his cheek while Evelyn holds her arm as she looks downward.

[Ethan: Lucas, are you done?]

[Lucas: (Thank goodness you're here.)]

[Ethan: ?.. The heck is wrong with you? Come on let's go, we have many things to do.. Ladies, please excuse us.]

Ethan went to get him and greeted Evelyn and Gianna. Lucas made a contented face as he goes closer to him. They bid farewell to each of them afterwards.

[Gianna: Ahhh, Ethan is so handsome alright! I wonder if I could seduce him.]

[Evelyn: Uhmm... Come on Gianna, I'll change now..]

[Gianna: Nopeee, let our friends see you like this.]

Gianna grabs her hand and force her to come. Evelyn has no other choice but to listen to her and show her appearance before them.....

(Lucas's point)

[Ethan: So? What did you learn?]

[Lucas: Well... A lot of costumes...]

[Ethan: Idiot, I'm not talking about that. What I need to know is the layout of the floors.]

[Lucas: Aw.. That..]

Lucas elucidates the layout of the floors to Ethan. They each wander around and marks the corner of the places he'll be using for his magic in the near future. With his magic implanted in a certain location, he can feel whether something is happening in that place whatever it is.

[Lucas: What did you talk about with the owner?]

[Ethan: Some useless information, no need for you to know.]

[Lucas: Yeah yeah.]

They wander around the place, looking for another good spot to implant Ethan's magic. There are some personnel going outside the rooms, they are the one who arrange and clean the place...

[Lucas: Hey.. How about inside the rooms?]

[Ethan: Fool, I have no reasons to know their activities inside during the night.]

[Lucas: My bad, I totally forgot that this is for adults only..]

After marking the places, they began to go outside and directly went to their residence. Ethan gives a roll call for his squad to come and settle.

[Ethan: I'll devise a route for you to take in, just raise your hand if you want to help me. This mission is utterly dangerous, if ever we fail... I can't guarantee your safety for this will be an act of treason in the eyes of them..]

The pressure inside has become tense as he tells them the consequences they'd acquire if ever the plan failed..

To be continued...
