"What are you doing here?"
That voice instantly sent Gwen to a sound source just behind her. Her eyes were dull and her facial expressions were unable to hide her surprise.
The figure of a man in a neat suit seemed to stand firmly, his countenance so firmly with his hair so neatly combed.
The man was well-built and brunette. When viewed from the top of his hair to the toe, the man looked perfect.
"I-i..." Gwen stammered, but she got right out of her seat.
The man looked closely at Gwen. His brow furrowed a little as if he had asked Gwen for an answer to his question.
Gwen swallowed her saliva with great difficulty, the man's vibe seemed to affect her deeply. Gwen kept herself calm inside.
"I-i'm sorry, I'm just resting here," Gwen was able to utter the words out of her mouth.
"Although it's a holiday, I suggest you don't wander around outside." The man said firmly.
Gwen was quite confused and also surprised at the man's remark since Cecil had never said this before. Cecil just said not to go anywhere in this place. But, according to her, the park she's in right now is secure. Because Cecil herself brought her here yesterday.
"I-i'm sorry, I don't know because I've been here not too long," Gwen replies.
The man's forehead grew wrinkled, "You've been here for nearly a month, didn't Marry tell you? " The man asked.
Gwen wondered, 'How will he know how long I have been here? 'Gwen murmured in her heart.
'Who is he? ' ask herself again in the heart.
There's a slight anomaly because Gwen thinks this guy seems to have some kind of power here. Since he seems so accustomed to calling Marry, the other workers here have the respect for Marry while only mentioning her name since Marry is a chief attendant here and the trust of Lord Theodoric.
"M-marry has told me not to go anywhere near here. I'm sorry, I thought this would be okay, "Gwen explained.
"It does have strict rules, I must tell you, don't be out there too long on your own. If you have no urgent business, you should go back to your room, " the man said.
Gwen doesn't want to argue, except she's new here, she doesn't know who this man is either. Gwen must be careful not to make the same mistake as before when she does not recognize Theodoric Sir.
Gwen nodded, "Thank you very much."
The man did not give back but a small nod. Gwen felt so small in front of him, but, of course, he was as tall as Sir Theodoric, as if she were hypnotized by his charisma, so that she could easily comply.
"I said, thank you very much," Gwen said, nodding her head as a sign of respect, and then walking away from the man still standing silent.
Gwen's mind churned with each step. Thinking about who the guy is.
As Gwen took about seven steps from where she had come. Suddenly another man came to the man. But Gwen could not turn her back to look at him. But Gwen could hear the footsteps as well as the words of the man.
"Mr. Philip, Sir Theodoric is calling you to his Chambers," and the words of a man who has just arrived shocked Gwen and instantly stopped in her step.
'Philip?' Gwen exclaimed within herself and immediately turned her face to the two men.
From where she was now, Gwen could see that the man who had just nodded his head at the man who had just arrived. "I'll be right there! " He said.
Then the man who had just come back went away leaving the man with the previous one giving a small nod in respect.
And when the man was about to step off his feet, Gwen called out to him with whatever courage, "Sir, hold on! " She exclaimed as she stepped forward to get back to him.
In the man's cold face, Gwen could see a well-camouflaged look of confusion. However, the man said nothing, just stopped his pace. The other guys are getting further away from where they are now.
Gwen now stood back in front of the man and looked at him hesitantly.
"A-are you Mr. Philip? "Gwen feared. she thought to herself that the man should know how long he was here because he was Mr. Philip, whom Lord Theodoric thought was the one who brought her here from the woods when she fainted.
The man still didn't say a word to her, he just nodded.
"I-i..." Gwen paused her speech, but she shook her head quickly. Somehow this man's charisma has spooked her a little.
The guy named Philip just stared at him.
"I must see Theodoric Lord immediately, if you have something to say, say it immediately! "Philip said firmly.
"F-forgive me, I just wanted to thank you, Mr. Philip, for bringing me here," Gwen said at the end.
"I was only doing what Lord Theodoric ordered me to do, but your thanks I accept," said Philip shortly. Before Gwen came back, Philip said some more.
"You should go back to your room, Theodoric Lord does not like to wait. I must leave at once!" Finish saying Philip took his feet and left Gwen in the wind.
Gwen was still standing in her spot and gazing at the broad back of Philip that was now drawing away from her.
Gwen decided to return to her room, as ordered by Mr. Philip, she chose not to go looking for trouble. Let alone he knows if Mr. Philip is a confidant of Theodoric's pour and also a second-in-command in this place after Lord Theodoric. At least she's thanking him right now.
But in Gwen's heart, there were still questions left unanswered.
'Mr. Philip and Mr. Theodoric have almost the same charisma, and for some reason, they scare me deeply' she says in her heart.
Gwen must admit that the two men had beautiful faces. They also had perfect bodies, and the aroma from their bodies was so fragrant. It's just something that gave her the creeps, but somehow Gwen had no idea what was going on.
'This place is a bit strange, I don't know why I thought of it. I don't know why, but there's just such a strange thing '
Upon seeing the two men, Mr. Theodoric and Mr. Philip. Gwen feels weird.
Gwen shook her head softly, "Don't think about it, Gwen! You'd better go back to your room, or you'll be in trouble! " She exclaimed slowly as she made her way toward the building where she lived. She would wait for her lunch in the bedroom.
