Chapter 26 - Chapter 23 : The Noble

Lisa was surprised by his serious expression and tone. She thought that he saw something he shouldn't have seen.

Lisa : What do you see?

Mr Brown still in a serious tone : Well,... um,... something that looked like a torture.

Lisa speaks harshly at him with her cold eyes : What do you see? Tell me specifically.

Mr Brown closing his eyes : I saw a lady getting tortured in a really bad way. The man of that place told that is the kindness he will show to female travellers.

He opened his eyes to look at Lisa. She was still with her cold eyes looking at Mr Brown.

Mr Brown scared : That's all. LISA!

Lisa looked like she woke up from her dream : What happened, Mr Brown?

She even forgot what she asked for.

Mr Brown : Are you sure you are fine?

Lisa : Why...?

Mr Brown interrupting : You had those cold eyes which looked so scary. Like you want to kill somebody.

Lisa : Cold eyes? Kill somebody? I guess I was so surprised that I may have done something.

Mr Brown : Did you listen to me?

Lisa remembering : I guess so.

She smiled at Mr Brown as if nothing strange happened.

Lisa playfully : Well, let's go.

Mr Brown : So, you did not hear?

He repeats what he just said. She responds quickly

Lisa : Then, we must save the women.

Mr Brown : Again with recklessness. We too are travellers, especially you are a girl.

Lisa : You forgot, that we have something they don't. We have magic.

Mr Brown : In short, you will disguise yourself as a man.

Lisa playfully : Bingo!! Let's go now!

They knock on the door. Lisa is disguised as a man. She named herself temporarily, as Jake.

Mr Brown shouts : We want help! Can you tell us something?

The noble to the lady : Wait, sweetheart, I will come back after I answer them. If there is a woman, then she will join you.

He goes to the answer the door. He wears his suit and a hat.

The noble : What do you need?

Jake : Well, we want to know if there is a place where we can stay for free. You see we don't have money at the moment.

The noble : Oh, is that right? You can stay here for the time being.

Jake and Brown comes inside.

The noble : One moment please, I will go and clean my living room or if you want to see your rooms I will show you.

Brown : Thank you for your kindness.

The noble : Your welcome.

The house had a staircase right next to the entrance. If you look down you will see a passage. Go straight from the passage, you will see the living room on the left and keep moving straight, you will find the kitchen.

On the top, there were two guest rooms. If you go inside the living room, you will see two divider for the kitchen, living room and bedroom.

The noble : Your guest rooms are on the top.

"Ahhh" "Oooh"

They heard a woman's voice.

Jake : Is that your wife, sir?

The noble : Maybe it must be servant who just got injured.

Brown : Shouldn't we tend to her wounds?

The noble : I guess, you're right. To the servant : Now, where did you get hurt?

The woman : Oh, it's nothing, I just hit my foot to the divider. Thanks for your concern.

Lisa sees a rope on the entrance of the living room. She signalled Mr Brown to look at the rope. He nods indicated to say "Yes, she was tortured by that rope."

The noble : I guess, she's fine.

Brown : Ah, that's a relief.

Jake : The rooms are at the top, right?

The noble : Yes, they are.

Brown : Thank you again.

They go up. Lisa X-rayed the room. She was shocked by the scars she saw on the woman.

Lisa whispered : Mr Brown, this noble is too harsh on the servant.

Mr Brown whispered : We will finish our job by tonight.

Lisa's cold eyes appeared and she looked at the noble. The noble shivered.

Mr Brown tells in a loud voice : Jake, you will sleep in the same room as me, right?

Jake in a deep, serious tone : Yeah.

Brown : Can't hear you?

She woke up and said : Yeah, brother.

They apparently were acting as brothers.

The noble thinking : That man, had a such cold and lifeless eyes. It is as if telling me to stop something. Do they already know that I torture the servant? That's impossible right?

Lisa and Mr Brown spend some time focusing on the servant. They freshened themselves so that the noble won't get suspicious.

The noble comes to them : Dinner is ready if you guys want some.

Brown and Jake : Thank you, we will be right there. They looked at each other.

The noble shocked : I guess you are brothers, right?

Brown : Yes, we are. I am the big brother here.

The noble : Come down for dinner.

Jake smiled : We will gladly.

The noble shivered again, reminding the eyes received by him/her.

They ate the dinner without any difficulty. Since, they ate fish and pork to get used the taste of the food.

Jake : This food is delicious.

Brown : I agree, especially the fish.

The noble : The servant made those since I'm single.

Brown : I see. Where is she at the moment?

The noble : She went back to feed her children. She will come back.

Jake telephatically to Brown : When she comes we will put decoys in our room. We will become invisible to see what he does to her.

As they spoke about her she came.

Servant : I am back, sir.

Noble : Please wait, when my guests are done, you'll clean this place.

Servant : Yes, sir

They quickly finished eating, thanked the servant for this wonderful food and go back to their room.

[After 30 minutes]

They do as planned. They hurry down the stairs with a device in their hands that no one knows except the king of that territory.

Servant : Ahh, Oooh, please sir, it hurts.

They saw the servant's torture. Lisa couldn't handle it anymore. She went upstairs. Mr Brown still had to record that into his device.

When Lisa is alone, her cold eyes and she said in a low, scary voice.

Lisa : I will kill him. I have to. That maid down there is suffering from his actions.

I will do as yesterday as I planned. Let him sleep peacefully and he won't wake from his dream tomorrow. I will also write a letter so it looks like a suicide.

Mr Brown was worried so he wanted to hear what Lisa was doing. When he heard that, he knew that she can't take anymore of this torture.

The next day, the noble never woke up from his sleep and Mr Brown became the new head as written in the letter.
