He was surprised for a moment , then , he pulled himself together . "Ahem", he cleared his throat .
"Then , what is the information that you need from us?" he asked me politely by placing his hands on the table.
"I need information about the outbreak of plague in the outskirts." I said by folding my arms on my waist . I think he's already surprised enough to expect this from me. He thought for while by rubbing his hands .
"It's indeed a big job , Miss Daisy . Are you confident , that your information will be really valuable to me?" he raising his brow in suspicion , which I can see through the mask .
"I'm confident , I'm not someone,who's playing without a full deck. You can be rest assured ". I smiled .I think he just let out a sigh of relief after hearing me. It's quite dangerous for them to find top information . I guess , this level verification won't affect.
"Then , when do you need this information.? So , I can make preparations."he asked . I don't have much time to think about this.
"I need it as early as possible. I know you're capable of it". I smiled , his eyes widened as hearing my reply . I know the source of his information , that's why I'm confident .
"Then , I will inform you through a messenger. You can come and collect the details." he said and stood up to send me off at his door .I went out of the room , Brian is still waiting for me in the reception .I picked him up and went out of the trading house.
On the other side :
"I've never expected to see her here , how does she know about the passcode ?", Oliver asked to himself ,by removing his mask and ran his fingers on his hair while sitting on the chair.
"She become more interesting and daring in a few years", he chuckled and removed his top two buttons ; He made two cups of coffee and placed it in the table.
(thud *)
"You're late ", he smiled to the man in front of him .
"Do you think , I'm unoccupied like you , I'm the crown prince of this Kingdom . Naturally,I'm busy", Theo said and took the cup that placed in front of him and took a sip.
"It's not like I'm unoccupied , it's just I had a meeting with a intriguing customer ", Oliver chuckled and sipped his coffee.
"I've never thought , you're finding someone intriguing in your old age ", Theo said with straight face and took a sip.
"What do you mean by old age , I'm just 23 . You kid", Oliver shouted at him in his annoyed voice.
"My grandfather also likes to call me kid ," Theo said with a Smiling face . Theo is just adding insult to his injury .
"I don't want to continue this , I don't want to beat around a bush , I need information about outbreak of plague", Oliver said by massaging his temples with his fingers .
"What..? (splattered his coffee over Oliver's hands) Why do you want a top information?" he asking him while taking tissues and wiping his lips.
"Don't people usually apologize as a basic courtesy? and What's the thing with splattering like a fountain? Don't tell anyone you're Royal ." Oliver said with a disgusted look and took tissues and wiped his hand .
"I was just surprised ", Theo saying while shrugging his shoulders .
"Indeed , I was also surprised by hearing it "he smiled .
"Tell me , Who asked about this ? it's a top information . there isn't even a rumour about it." Theo leaned towards him and asked him.
"Customer's information are confidential , don't pry into this further." he said with a stern voice and leaned back in his seat.
"Then , What are the information they need about it?", Theo asked with a serious look.
"All the information about the plague , without missing a single details", Oliver said in a calm and firm voice .
"Then , what's the deal for the information? " Theo asked as he crossed his legs.
"A valuable information about the plaque ", He said lowly yet clear.
"What if it's already on my information ?" Theo asked him by raising his brow in suspicion.
"They seemed confident , that no one can get the information other than them . Either way, We're going to see , so don't worry . If it's a really a valuable information , we can control the situation. it's better than nothing" . Oliver explained the situation calmly.
"You're correct , We have to be patient. I'll give you information in one week . I hope it all goes well." He said with a saddened look in his face .
*******************************************.
After we left the trading house , I went to the market visited a book shop , to see if My novels are selling well . But fortunately, it seems my novels are sold out . it's a good thing indeed .
Then , I did a window shopping , because there's no need for me to buy anything (her father is the richest man and she's stingy too). We went to home early .
"Miss , welcome back. Shall I prepare you a bath?" Ash asked me in the hallway.
"Yes ,It would be nice. Ash" I went upstairs to my room .I saw a letter placed in my table .
"Ash , did anyone sent a letter to me?" I asked her.
"Yes , Miss , it's from house Anemone." she replied while carrying water for the bath and went to the bathroom.
The seal is indeed from house Anemone. I opened the letter , it's from Daman .
'Due to the preparations for tomorrow's visit , I can't visit you tonight . Sorry for informing this through a letter. I'll pick you up tomorrow . - by your fangirl Daman'
I have to stop this , I mean the word 'fangirl'. I'll tell him tomorrow. It seems I've to sleep alone tonight.
"Miss , Bath is ready ", Ash informed me . I sent her back , because I want to bath alone .But the sad thing is, I slept in the bath and got nagged by Ash . In the first place, it is her mistake to wake me up so early in the morning .( the so called early is 9pm).
Then , I prepared some handy medicine and holy water ,it costs an arm and a leg ,because it's rare and has healing abilities. Even , in the church only few Pope and prophets has holy magic . it's only used for Royals and higher nobles.
I prepared the things as much as possible , I hope this visit will be helpful. I'm tired , I went to my bed and laid down . This bed is so big , I've never thought about this before . I'm feeling rather lonely now without him.
"Miss , it's time to wake...." Ash stopped in mid sentence and gave me a gape look after looking that I woke up before her call and washed up.
"Don't worry , I'm not under the weather". I smiled hesitantly. I feel like I'm insulting myself to make her accept. I just can't fall sleep , when I'm alone.
"I see. ", Ash said in a confused voice. I'll change the topic.
"Ash , help me to arrange this , I'm going out today ." I said and as soon as she heard she hurriedly helped me with everything . I wore a commoner's dress , so they won't be wary of me .
"Ash , inform my family , I can't attend today's breakfast." I said and took my things and went outside .
There was a tall man , outwardly handsome waiting for me. it's nice.
"I'm sorry ,Did you wait for me so long?" I rushed over him . He smiled at me .
"No , I just came here ." he stroked my hair and gave me a alluring smile. I'm bewitched by him . Come to your senses , Emy.
"There's no carriage ,how do we go to the area?" I asked him tilting my head .
"We're going to teleported , it's time consuming and you won't feel uncomfortable like carriage ." he said and took out an amulet and cape . He used the cape to cover me and pinned the amulet near my chest in the cape.
"it's the magic Device , it'll protect you and I've already done a surveillance near the river , to see if there's anything dangerous. So you don't have to worry about other things , I'll teleport to the nearby village , so you can see the condition of the people."he said.
He showed his hands to hold . He told me to close my eyes ,so I won't feel dizzy . I closed my eyes and placed my hands into his.
"Open your eyes ,Emy", he whispered softly ; So soon , I just opened one eye to see if we really came . Then my eyes widened , we really teleported in Milli seconds. Magic is cool.
I turned around and looked the village . The place where I'm standing is still green , while if I take a few steps , it's complete opposite .
The plants are decaying and few more steps ,the soil lost its fertility , the village look like an abandoned area . it's like surrounded in a dark air above the village .I can't see people from here . I have to get into the village to know about their condition .
"Daman , Let's get in ,"I looked at him and he nodded .
