Kapitel 148: Carry Me Like a Princess (IV)
Even Tart and Moca were also considered powerful, and all the servants inside the castle listened to them unconditionally. Not even once did they step out of line, and I knew they had quite a few fan clubs surrounding each one of them.
Moca had the older maids and butlers, who looked up to him with awe and respect. Then we got the serious mid to young maids that followed Coco perfectly without any flaws. I swear I thought they were doing some kind of military drill on how precise they were. While Tart had flocks of young females trailing behind him in an excited chatter. Especially in town, the number of fan clubs he had was terrified that I was almost trampled upon by them in my human form.
I had to think for a moment when she said that Coco is kidnapped. It just didn't click in my head. For Coco to be kidnapped was seriously unheard of, and the only thing that made sense was only if she let them take her.
"Can you say that one more time?" I asked for clarification, hoping that I heard things.
"Coco has been kidnapped, young mistress!" The group of maids started to chatter in unison in fear and worry.
"It's not like her to get easily kidnapped, but she's been taken by that monster!" Another chortled at the word monster and shivered.
"We don't know what to do..." They stared at me as if I had the answer.
I was so stunned that I didn't have a single word to say. Coco kidnapped. Completely unheard of.
"How did you find this out?" I asked, hoping that this was all a lie.
One of the maids quickly rushed over towards the bed. I got up and slid my feet against the cold stone floor, shocking me awake. She handed me a slip of parchment paper, all wrinkled up with smear spots. Even the end of the paper had an ugly tinge of burnt black as if someone tried to burn it but stopped half way. I took it and examined it closer and noticed that they were dried up blood spots. Even my nose told me that this was Coco's blood, and I knew her scent anywhere without a single doubt.
"Blood?" I asked, my eyes becoming wide. I turned a bit too slowly, making the maids flinch when they saw my heavy expression.
"Y-y-yes, young mistress." The maid stuttered.
I opened up the paper and saw a scribble of Coco's elegant handwriting. Even her penmanship was first class, making me wonder when she had the time to scribble the words down, especially if she was caught.
The words written down on the paper were only a few words: Caught by Titan. My hand dropped as the paper slid out of my hand.
Phil had caught it in midair and read the content of the letter.
"Caught by Titan?" Phil read it out loud, jolting me awake. "Are you sure this is her's?" He had the paper in his hands still crinkled as he examined it, then glanced toward the maid.
"Yes." The maid nodded hard to the point where I thought she was going to lose her head. "It arrived through one of our birds last night, though…." Her voice trailed off as she glanced away as if she couldn't say anything else. She bit her lower lips and looked down.
"There's more?" Phil gave a commanding tone of voice, making the other squeak out loud, while a couple of them shuffled backward in fright.
"Y-y-yes."
"Such as?" I asked. I got up fast, clenching my fist in worry. The thought of something worse happening to Coco wasn't something that I wanted. She was family, and I was for sure, going to go out and save her.
"Mo…"
"Mo?"
A deep inhale of breath could be heard as the maid eventually stood up straight and looked dead in my eye. "Moca had left last night to go and free her."
"What?!" I yelped; the thought of Moca going out by himself made me even more worried. This was a Titan that we were talking about, and Moca can't kill him. The only thing I could think of was that he probably went to do a quick in and out.
"We-e-e have a couple more messages to give you as well." The maid tried her best to calm her nerves. "Moca told us not to tell you because it's not a serious issue and that he can extract her out without much problem, but that wasn't the issue. We believe that Moca can sneak Coco out. It's just…" She came over to hand me an envelope.
The first thing that hit me was the rancid smell. I instantly felt my stomach whirl. All the other maids took a step backward as they held their hands up to their nose. I thought the envelope that she gave me fell into the old milk that had gone bad mixed in with garbage.
My nose scrunched up, I held the envelope as if it was the most dangerous product in the world by its edge. The thought of opening it made me want to chuck it out the window, but I knew that I needed to read the content. Taking in a deep breath, I held it as I brought it towards me.
Examining the envelope, I noticed that it was haphazardly closed with an ugly seal that wasn't perfectly sealed. I could even see the piece of paper peeking out from the edge, and with a simple flick of my nails, I broke off the seal and brought out the paper. The moment I did, the maids all shuffled backward even further away from me, looking terribly pale. They were quite a few of them stepping out the door and waited in the hallway.
Even Phil was standing away from me, holding his breath. I knew instantly that the smell of this letter was horrid. I quickly opened it up and read it so fast that I had to go over it one more time. Just as quickly as I read it, I stuffed it back into the envelope and ready to burn the unholy mail with fire, when everyone jumped up and screamed, NO! I was suddenly concerned with the influx of voices that seemed to tell me it was a bad idea. So, I motioned one of the maids to take it from my hand.
Almost all of them didn't come forward from the wretched smell until I stomped my feet angrily and motioned them over so I could breathe. One of them eventually came scuttling over, I had to let out my breath to speak.
"Quickly, take it away and burn it!" I spoke those words so fast that I was out of breath.
The maid furiously nodded and scurried away with the envelope in her hand as if it was a live bomb. Finally, I was able to breathe, panting as I took large gulps of air.
"I swear that letter could've killed me by destroying my nose!" I was furious at the sender, knowing full well that it was sent for me specifically.
"What did it say?" Phil was able to breathe as he stepped forward right next to me. The handful of maids that were left were also curious about the content of the letter.
