Outside the office of Gate Keeper, Zach stood up and glanced inside and then turned and walked towards the city. "Information about the incident should not be leaked. If not, the same event will occur" Zach sweats cold.
On the city road, Zach looked straight while walking casually. After a few moments, from the dark alley on the side, a little girl ran and crashed into Zach. Zach, who was no longer distracted quickly caught the little woman so as not to fall.
The little girl did not fall, but one book from her cardboard fell and opened facing up. Zach glanced at the book, the same page as he read before.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" The little girl looked down while apologizing.
Zach looked at the book for a few moments and grabbed a falling book. "It's okay, hmm, by the way, the little lady is this book for sale?" Zach closed the book and briefly read the title of the book on the brown -head.
The little girl widened her eyes, "Are you interested? Actually this is my private book, but because I am an adult, my father told me to throw it away because I did not understand the contents"
"Throw away?"
The little girl lowered the corner of her lips as She looked sadly at the box containing the book. "Well, you know, not everyone likes the writer of this book. People associate it with bad things because of its controversial contents"
"But if you want it, I can give you the book" The girl smiled.
Zach fixed his hat position and grabbed his pants pocket. Take out a silver coin and hand it over to the little girl. "This, as a payment. I will bring this book"
The little girl looked at the silver coin in front of her with a passionate look. But do not dare to accept it and instead refuse, "You can have it without having to pay, it is a book that I should throw away. My father said that I could not take advantage of bad things to get profits"
Zach grabbed the palm of the little girl's hand and put a silver coin on his palm. "Then, I'll pay this for losses because it almost makes you fall"
The little girl could not hold the temptation of the silver coin in front of her and grabbed it while grateful. After a while, Zach left the place and returned to his house.
...
Zach arrived at his house, opened the door and stepped inside. As before, Emma looks serious staring at the book on the table and holding a pen while taking a record at a certain time.
Then Her attention was diverted to Zach that appeared.
Zach took off his hat and sat near his wife. Emma looks a little difficult with what she learned, to the point where Emma sighed and leaned against the chair.
"Book?" Emma accidentally glanced at the brown book held by Zach.
Zach raised his eyebrows when he said slowly, "I bought it from a girl on the road.
Zach showed the book to Emma. Emma grabbed it and saw the brown book cover that was rather dull.
"Astral exterminator ... Dwayne Clourfuss ..." Emma tilted her head trying to remember the familiar name.
"Ah, controversial historian!" Emma looks very satisfied when remembering it clearly.
Zach frowned, his heart seemed injured when he saw his wife's reaction he had seen before.
Then he repeated the same question, "Controversial? How does that mean?" The same incident repeated, Zach chatted the exact same thing as before. And in the end offers about a trip to the city of Amethyst.
A few moments later, Zach who had a neat appearance held a black suitcase in his right hand. Emma who wears a pink dress and is rather fluffy wearing a wide hat.
Zach went to his in -laws' house. Time passed and they arrived quickly. Chat again occurs and is no different from before. With the help of Diana, and Violet as a reason, Leonard agreed to that.
On the horse -drawn carriage before passing the gate. Zach pondered for a few seconds, his gaze was empty as if thinking about something complicated.
His expression did not show any enthusiasm at all, even though this was a trip to be enjoyed. Emma realized it and asked slowly, "Is there a problem?"
Zach glanced at Emma and sighed, "Nothing, this trip might take hours ... It must be very tiring" Zach shows a depressed face.
After passing through the gate, the view of the large forest area immediately filled Zach's vision. But it looks like a normal thing, a path with rocks that sometimes make horse -drawn carriages sway.
Emma's expressionVery radiant like a child who gets a candy prize. Seeing that, Zach lowered the corner of his lips while remembering Dellon's words.
"A gate keeper is a strong and admired figure ..."
Zach felt that it wasn't in accordance with what was happening right now. He looked at Emma as he told himself, "How do I protect that smile?"
He saw for a few seconds then closed his eyes that began to turn red. "No, it should be safe now. I didn't divulge what I knew to the captain. Vilion won't know about that. Even though I can't stop the terrible incident, but at least I can keep my family away from it all"
Zach rubbed his eyes when he returned to think, "The detectives will survive the incident, if they can think clearly at that time then they should not try to stop it and choose to report to other cities or the Empire" Zach feels relieved but not yet completely.
...
The day began to get dark, Zach sighed as they passed the point where Vilion appeared before. That means there is no more danger, now it is safe.
When night falls, after five hours of travel which made Zach almost uneasy. They arrived in the city of Amethyst. Welcomed with a view of the lights that are lined up. The fragrance of flowers and salt smells from close beaches makes the mood as if calmer.
The horse -drawn carriage is checked by Gate Keeper Amethyst City. And there is nothing strange, they are invited to enter the city without any problems.
Then they rented two different lodgings for Zach and his in -laws. Lodging chosen by Zach is a strategic lodging. In the back window we can immediately see the beautiful views of the endless oceans, while in front there is a vast flower garden.
Although in the end the one who paid everything was his in -laws. The price of one gold coin for one night is beyond Zach's estimates. A few years earlier, he was quite confident that the price of lodging was still dozens of silver coins.
On a dark night, where stars hide behind clouds. Zach tidied up his belongings, he put his large black suitcase next to the wardrobe. Emma cleans herself first.
The condition of the city of Amethyst is very crowded, various kinds of people are in this city. Called a free city, the city of flowers, or the city of dreams is not excessive.
Mayor of Amethyst City is a famous person because of his bloodline directly related to war heroes in the past.
After cleaning himself, Emma came out with a nightgown and rubbed her soft black hair with a towel. Zach is busy tidying goods.
"Come in, this is your turn" Emma said giving Zach the opportunity to clean himself.
Zach glanced and then entered the bathroom to clean his body.
