Jonathan layed me on his chest and patted my head til I slep as a child.
In the next morning, I thought everything was only a dream, but I found myself wrapped up in his arms, he was also asleep peacefully like a little angel. I pawed his face to assure that he's right here with me, but I couldn't remove my fingers from his cheeks until I woke him up..
"Oh.. Princess.." he chuckled "Taking advantage of me while I'm asleep?"
"I.. I didn't mean to wake you up" I spoke "Good morning, dear"
"Morning.. Let's get our breakfast and prepare the luggage.. We will be back today!"
What did I just hear? All the progress I made would be fruitless, I can't go back now.. I have to uncover the secrets hear.. I have to know everything!
"Don't be late" he whispered "I'm waiting for you downstairs."
"Wait!" I exclaimed "We can't be back right now!"
"Why?"
"I.. I have some business to do.."
"What business?"
"I need to discover more! I have to know the truth!"
"Oh, come on, Lilian.. Be realistic, don't play the detective game. What if something bad was to happen to you!"
"I have to, Jon.. Please understand me"
"I will never ever approve this action!!"
Shrieked loudly and got wildly out of the room.. I guess I inflamed him. Nevertheless, I will unfold the truth and find the logical answer to these issues. No matter what it costs me..
After the breakfast, I went to the library to figure out more, as a new clue was enlisted into the others...
"It makes the all together... Six clues in hand.." I sussurated all alone "Yet I can't find out the relation between all of them.. I need more.. I need to find the tip of the thread.."
Meanwhile, when I was thinking alone in the library, Jonathan was in the living room with the servants..
"Mister!" said Christie "Can you tell us how you met miss?"
"You want to know how?" he giggled "Hehe.. Better if you know from her"
"She already told me, but I want to know from you, too. She told me that you were a thug! But I see you more like a gentleman"
"She said so? How cruel.. Actually, I was a thug.."
"Oh.. Why would a handsome young man be so?"
"Well.. I was raised in a very rich house, my mother died from by a burglary when I was young. So, my father spoiled me as I was his only child and an orphan.. I grew up to be a reckless and lunatic teen. Then, I registered into a high class university where I met her. We were so different, I was a live, outgoing and extroverted person, I loved to be surrounded by cute girls, I stayed out of my home til late nights, I hid behind the building to smoke tobacco and I skipped many sessions... "
"Woah, mister, you were so different from now"
"Well.. Yes.. Ehem.. On the other hand, she was a very calm young lady, a mysterious one. She used to sit alone in the garden or spend her break in the library.. She was addicted to Sherlock Holmes, that she adopted some of his traits.. She loved to solve cases or read thoroughly about crimes and mysteries. Lilian was an angel, a beauty who resided in the same class as mine, and I lost my mind for her.. I followed her from a place to another, I read about crimes only to share her, I loved Sherlock Holmes to attract her and I became a different person to be her ideal man!"
"So, you really loved her.. Was she really this special?"
"And even more than that.. She was the smartest girl in the class, a nerd! A bookworm! I used to call her these nicknames whenever she tells me she was studying.. She was the genius one, who can achieve whatever goal she seeks for.."
"So.." interrupted Flori ".. She was a real genius.."
"Yes!" giggled Jonathan "She might have been a great detective.. She can solve any mystery.. She will totally unveil the truth and know all the secrets behind this mansion! I trust her"
"Ohhh, dear... So, this girl will solve our deals."
"She will! Simply, because, SHE IS THE GENIUS ONE!"
"Yes.. Yes.."
...
After an hour of working, I finally got more answers and clues..
First of all, the meaning of the words: Oro, Argento, Rame and Diamante was finally revealed thanks to the large dictionary in the library.
If we refer to the Italian language we can find that: Oro means Gold, Argento means Silver, Rame means Copper and finally, Diamante means Diamond.
A great coincidence shows that Zilar also means Argento, silver. If I think it right, then the other servants names refers to those four words.
So, if Zilar is a Basque word, might the other names also be Basque? But.. I only have three names no more.. Zilar, Flori and Cobre.. Then who's the fourth one?
A second important thing that has been bugging me lately, is the silhouette that appeared yesterday, it had a large body, most like my bodyguard, Hannes. Could it be him? What did he want? To kill me??
The moment I was deep in my questions, I noticed the existence of someone around. I heard a deep breathing in the room.. Exhaling and inhaling the same air as mine..
"Good afternoon, mademoiselle!" someone said from behind "Stop working and drink with me!"
"Jon!" I asked "It was only you.."
"Who were you expecting?"
"No.. No one.. I just thought someone's here.."
"I told you to stop thinking about these stuff.. Come on, let's drink!"
"Jonathan, please take me seriously, I'm busy now.. I'm reading.. I'm thinking.. I don't know!"
"Oh you little bookworm.. You're always the genius one.. I'll be with you, no matter what you do. Take a break now"
