Bab 80: NOT ARROGANCE BUT FACTS

ASTRID felt like his whole body froze when he heard the kid's name.  It's like a huge bob just detonated in front of him.  And he was even the one hugging that bomb.

Grimaldi.  Nicol Grimaldi.  No way, could it be?

This was just their first day at the capital.  They hadn't even gone to his apartment yet!  They not only encounter some crazy hostage taker, they actually even inadvertently met a child with the surname 'Grimaldi'.  The family in which their mother was originally from. 

Could fate really be so cruel as to throw such a curve ball at them right now? 

Well, he was someone who died from choking on a grape.  If he considered that, then it wouldn't be really surprising to encounter this kind of bad luck right now.  Because it seemed like this shitty fate had always enjoyed tormenting him in some kind of form.
