Kapitel 117: Airheads- A Necklace and Past.
Rage opened the door and let the little girl wait outside in. Edward was too stunned to speak anything at the moment.
"What were you two talking about?", Dia asked out of curiosity.
" Well, your father was giving a lecture about, I should quit my current job and start doing something new."
"Hmmm..."
Dia fell into deep thought after hearing Rage's words.
" I don't know why but Adults always tell me about I should do other things than write my story, like learn how to sew and everything."
" Don't worry, it's their job to try to guide us but remember to always do what your heart desires, Okay?"
With these words, Rage put his fist in front of Dia, who struck it with her own. It was their friendship act as a 'Fist bomb'.
" Hey, Dia your necklace looks nice on you, glad you found it."
"!!!"
Hearing about the necklace, Edward escaped his stunned mind and came back to reality.
" Come on. I wanted to surprise him with it."
Edward took a necklace, with his eyes focusing on the tiniest details of design he could remember.
"It's the same."
" Huh?"
" Sorry, I was lost in my world. What are you talking about?"
Edward quickly made an excuse as he should've had no idea about the necklace from Dia's perspective.
"Hey, Father. Look at my necklace. "
Feeling Edward didn't see it earlier, Dia dashed towards him, holding the necklace in her hand.
" Ahh... I look really beautiful."
Edward said, without even giving a good look, it was a silver and gold fused necklace, with a bright coating. Some small diamonds pierced through the heart at the head of the necklace.
Anyone could give one look at it and belove it belonged to a royal lady.
"Well, I would not like to disturb your time together so, I will be leaving."
Rage said, as he slowly brought in two suitcases which belonged to Dia.
" So, Rage are you planning on taking my advice and quitting your job? It isn't worth working so much for nothing."
Rage stopped in their tracks and looked at Edward who was sitting alongside, a concerned Dia.
" Why are asking him to quit his job? He looks happy working here."
" Well, don't worry. I won't quit my job. Your father's suggestion is quite good but I can't follow it."
" So are taking a vacation for now?"
" Yes, I am quite tired of working here."
Dia looked as the two exchanged words, she didn't understand everything but decided not to interfere.
" Goodbye, for now, We will surely meet again. Take this as a parting gift."
Rage tossed a silver coin towards Edward.
" See you soon."
Dia gave Rage a goodbye as he closed the door with a smile. Edward understood what was Rage doing.
"A parting gift."
Rage was going to vanish from this place,
"Maybe he will jump from the window into the sea or maybe he'll hide in public and escape... Well, it wasn't my business thinking about that."
"Huh?"
" Sorry again. Looks like, I am lost in my world today."
" It happens to me too. I just like to think about flowers and the sky sometimes."
Well, looks like Dia is an airhead.
" Dia, I can see your necklace. I want to get a closer look at it."
" Yes, sure. Everybody who sees always asks to do so."
Dia removed her necklace and gave it to Edward,
" Dia, the necklace looks expensive. How did you get it?"
Edward knew Dia wouldn't possess the necklace at an early age because it reached the black market. That allowed Lucius to reach Dia, but the question remained, " Who did she get it back?"
" This. It was given to me 5 years ago. Sir, Foal Zestus visited our orphanage and brought a lot of gifts with him for all of us. He was the one who gave us the piano I used to listen to."
" Foal Zestus?..."
Edward never thought about it earlier, Foal has only died recently, he must have known about Dia's presence and her connection with Edward.
"Why didn't he ever use me?"
Edward that fact, Foal was a twisted man, he used and manipulated all the people around. Why didn't he ever call Edward, he could use him to his wish but he didn't... Why?
"Hello?!"
Dia again called Edward to the real world,
" Don't just get lost so easily. We were talking about the necklace."
" Amm. It looks great, Dia. Why don't you always wear it? It will look pretty on you."
Edward tied the necklace around Dia's neck, causing her to blush a bit.
"A.. umm... I think this necklace is too good for me to wear and it looks so expensive. What if someone stole it?"
Dia averted her gaze and moved a bit back.
"!"
Edward realised he got too close, Dia was still unfamiliar with him, she must have gotten uncomfortable.
" Dia, I think it's time. Let's get going should we?"
Instead of comforting Dia, Edward chooses to quickly make progress and leave the place behind.
"But, I wanted to meet Miss Mary before we go. She should be free by now."
" I don't think you'll be able to meet her."
" Why?!!!"
Dia made a sad face, upset about Edward's words.
" She is already off from the area. She also forgot to take her stuff. She will return tomorrow morning but we can't stay until then."
It was the best excuse Edward could make, he couldn't just say, "She is dead. Rage killed her because she poisoned our food."
"..."
Noticing Dia's upset face, Edward picked up her suitcases and came back to her.
" Don't worry. You can visit the orphanage once again..."
" Really!!"
"Yeah, You can meet her once again, meet your old friends once again."

"Okay, Let's go."
With a smile, Edward and his daughter exited the room.
