Back To the story,
Dork's POV
People comes and go, only thing that's left is the memories that we keep with us until we die, buried deep within our heart. I shall honour your Memory too and keep within myself that's my promise.
I wrote this in my diary and kept it inside my bag while watching sceneries from train with Terr and Mr.Bregs. We are going to Romania to solve his case, beloved Sebastian. We would reach Romania in two days. It would be a wonderous journey for them and a mournful for me. The one whose apprentice I was, have to solve his own murder mystery.
Dunno who and why such a talented person was killed in vain, but I will make sure to get you justice.
2 days later
We reached Bucharest, Romania now we just need to find a carriage to reach the Dutch Estate. Wait a minute there's something wrong in the atmosphere. Looks like something sinister might occur. I just turned my back to see Terr and Mr.Bregs , and saw a man coming forward suspiciously I shouted "watch out" a man with a most probably poisonous needle came forward to hit Terr's neck but due to Terr's awareness and his martial art skills, he dodged it and kicked the man to which the needle slipped from his hand and he fell into ground but before we could instigate something the man took Cyanide that was hidden in his ring and succumbed to his tragic end.
A wholearse of drama, we never got to know who he was but the most appreciative thing is Terr's quick reflex. We decided to inform local authorities of railway camp about the incident, that took another three hours. When we finished It was Dusk and the sun was setting. We quickly called a carriage and went to the Dutch estate, it atleast took 2 more hours for us to reach there.
We could see from a distance the magnificent figures of Miss. Dutch (She insisted to be addressed Miss inspite of being married,So she will be addressed as such throughout the whole chapter) , Her Husband Arthur & her daughter Anastasia, according to rumors Miss Dutch had a brother whom I cannot see welcoming us, which is an unusual thing for such families in Romania. Once the carriage reach to a halt near estate gates, we could see their features clearly. The servants of the estate opened the gate for us to enter. Everything had a gothic and Victorian touch too it. It looks really exquisite and pleasing to eyes. Looks like Dutch family work hard to maintain these structure.
"Welcome to our estate Mr. Celviskin,Mr.Bregs & Mr.Golgen" Said Aruthur Dutch. He has complexion of Latino man and wears Dark clothes with golden ensign to it. In fact, everyone has a darker tone of clothing styles.
"You must have been tired with such a long journey, we insist after having dinner please take some rest, you shall begin your investigation from tomorrow" Said Miss.Dutch.
Before I could utter any more word Terr replied with such enthusiasm which he lacked throughout the journey "yes, yes show the dining room. We're starving and very much sleep deprived. Some rest would be once in a lifetime heaven's boon."
"Speak for yourself I'm very much fine, some rest would suffice me. I'm not a hungry pig disguised as dignified gentleman like you "Said Mr.Bregs.
Everyone laughed at this. I don't know why they fight like Cat and Dog every time they see each other. What goes through their mind?? A answer none could give.
After settling for the night where me and Terr are sharing a ensuite while Mr.Bregs took another guest ensuite that was available at this moment. I started thinking about Sebastian.
Flashbacks(3rd POV)
"Hey sir, why did ya take me home from the streets. You could just gave me some money and let me fend off for myself and be your merry way. I would still have been grateful to you. Now at the time of economic crisis you have to take care of both ourselves, I am sure It's difficult." Young Dork said.
"Firstly don't call me sir, I'm like our friend. I'm just 4 years older than you. Second I had seen your potential, you have quick thinking and you know how to survive in harsh situations, your mind work in such a way that you can bring solutions to the problem no one has thought of, So you're very precious with rarity of never finding someone else like you ever in my lifetime and lastly I have so much wealth that I could keep six more of Dork and still be rich to feed my great grandchildren" Sebastian Said.
Young Dork took a bite of his French baguette and with a pouty face "What you in one sentence said I'm super rare and in the next you said that you can raise six more like me that's not fair"
Sebastian chuckled and said "Okay mistake of words, now eat you breakfast we have more cases to solve. The most Famous Detective of France & his Apprentice does come with lots of responsibilities"
An atmosphere of lovely affection surrounds the household.
A Knock came at the door
End of Flashback Dork"s POV
A startling knock brought me back to reality. I reached to open the door
Affection can sometimes bring us misfortune. Can be the cause of loosing our senses. As much as it provides strength to fight with world it also creates the weakness of mourning for people and taking a step back in life. But we still do take risks knownig the cons because the pros of finding someone of our own weighs all cons. Taking such decision causes pain to heart but also brings the warmth along it that humans crave for in their very least essence even as a spirit our soul. Sorry for leaving in a cliphanger, but that's it for today-missj181
