"Shhh.. You don't want her to hear you. Besides, who did he sleep with this time?"
"I don't know, don't look at me like that… Ahem, well if you really like to know, I spent my evening with a very rich monsieur yesterday"
"I didn't ask you about that, you idiot"
"Shhhh…. The two of you should keep quiet. If you won't want to watch anymore, the two of you can head back to bed and not disturb the rest of us that want to see the end of this"
"Hmph!!"
"Hmph!!"
...…..
"She's gone...Huff!! Huff!!! I finally lost her" Lucien said as he wiped the sweat off his head while he slowly caught his breath.
"Damn! How could a woman as old as that run that quick" He added.
Even though Lucien had always been caught off guard by the speed of Mrs. Odette, he still manages to always run away from her successfully, but that always came at a price.
A price that always left his muscles twitching in exhaustion after every moment that he manages to successfully escape her.
But he knew that his physic was slightly superior to that of a normal human being, so the fact that she always manages to catch up with him was quite surprising yet frightening at the same time.
"I have told her several times to join the Olympics and leave the brothel to my caring hands, but she just won't listen" Lucien muttered helplessly as he gradually put on his clothes.
He didn't want to arrive late this time. That was why he got up early before even the sun has risen high up into the sky.
"Haa.."
Now, look at him. He had turned into a debtor. A debtor that owes a brothel. What name do they usually give this type of people?
"Hmm…"
He didn't know. But with something like this, how would he have the courage to tell someone that he became a debtor in a brothel?
Putting on his black pants, together with his black leather trench coat and boots. And if it wasn't for his obvious usage of not mixing any other kind of colour, then he wouldn't have to look like someone going to act in a detective movie, except with the various grey strips around it.
Walking out of the alley, Lucien glanced at the empty road ahead of him but couldn't help but sigh at the unfairness of his situation.
"At this time of the day, I am still going to work. Sigh…".
Well considering the things he deals with in his line of work, it wasn't surprising that they had to be hidden from the public eyes.
Walking straight in the direction he was heading which is the Notre-Dame de Paris. To the public, it is the cathedral, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and is also considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture.
But for people like Lucien, the cathedral is nothing more than a workplace.
Now was he a clergy who is working directly within the cathedral itself? No, he isn't.
Is a priest that administers in the cathedral? No, he isn't one either. And besides, what would a priest be doing in a brothel throughout the night that he had to leave before 4 am?
Well, he doesn't know because he isn't a priest, but a simple man with simple desires.
But, if he wasn't any one of those, then who was he?
Well…
"Hey, Lucas. How was your night?"
Walking to the other side at the back of the cathedral, Lucien said with a smile as he saw the old man dressed in a blue security guard uniform matched with black pants and boots with a duty belt wrapped around his waist to complete the getup.
"Oh! It's you Lucien" Lucas said with a blank expression to find the idiot that woke him up early this morning only to find out that it was Lucien who had done so.
"Stop looking at me like that. Aren't you a security guard? Are you even supposed to be at sleep?"
"What would you do if some monster suddenly breaks in here and starts a massacre? I am sure that you would even notice because by then you would also be at sleep" Lucien responded with question upon questions of his own.
Continuously firing them at the old security guard who couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
"Stop talking like that, will you? I am sure that the higher-ups can at least consider a frail old man to get his own resting time" Lucas said with a sigh as though he was getting a little too old for this.
"Tsk!! Tsk!! A frail old man indeed. Then I might as well be called a newborn baby boy" Lucien said with a snicker.
"And besides, if a monster were to break in here, then I might as well feel sorry for it monster than be afraid for you guys' safety. After I am sure that you freaks are waiting for such an event to happen" Lucas added.
"Well, it would cancel the need of going to look for them, and also the profit that would come from selling its parts. Hmm... It would be a troublesome yet oddly satisfying situation"
Lucas could only shake his head helplessly as he saw Lucien was actually considering such a situation.
"Well, shouldn't you start heading inside?"
"I came early today. I think that I can spare a little chat with you" Lucien said with a smirk on his lips.
Meanwhile, Lucas grumbled before he stop to look at Lucien with a smirk of his own.
"Weren't you supposed to meet with Alice yesterday? I heard that she finished late because of you".
"Alice... Alice...Was I supposed to meet up with her yesterday?" Lucien kept asking himself as he pondered about something, thinking that he might have forgotten something.
"Weren't you supposed to meet her after your mission yesterday?" Lucas continued with a smile as he watched Lucien's expression change from surprise to shock.
