บท 9: Secret behind her disguise?
A complete silence got broken by Theo's spoon which made a sound once he put it in front.
"Its.. there are some reasons as to why I lied about your gender. Try to understand, I did everything for your own good," Mr. Castillo said.
He was staring at the dishes but it wasn't because he was hungry, rather, he was trying to hide from Theo's eyes which were looking at him as if trying to penetrate deep inside his thoughts.
Theo sighed, after becoming a vicious killer, she lost the habit to ask twice, but it was different now, cause she had to keep herself calmed in order to repent for her deeds.
"Can't you tell me the reason?" said Theo.
Mr. Castillo glanced at her and nodded slightly, "For now, just know that, there are some powers above your father and those powerful and dangerous people will try to snatch you from me once they found out the truth about you being a girl".
His answers told her to stop asking about those dangerous people and she nodded. "But you know, you can't hide this for eternity," she said.
He nodded with a depressed face.
She took a deep breath and looked down at the soup which smelled nice. Those food were different from what she used to eat before and she kept staring it while thinking something else.
"Perhaps, do you have any further plan for it" she asked.
He shook his head and while looking at her, he replied, "Maybe, I will send you to some foreign company".
"Got it, but if they are so powerful that they can snatch me away, then it will be a piece of cake for them to find my whereabouts. So, don't think to much and leave it on me," as she said those words she slightly looked toward ceiling while thinking hard "Is this can be used as repenting?".
Her father was baffled after hearing his daughter mature words, it was in fact an alluring accent and because of that, he feared that she might end up attracting others from whom she should stay away.
"Well, is there a way to meet Yama, the king of hell, here?" she asked.
Her sudden question was quite unreasonable, but just by hearing the name Yama, he felt a sudden heart throb.
"Why are you asking this stuff?" asked Mr. Castillo. A complete silence got broken by Theo's spoon which made a sound once he put it in front.
She nodded stiffly and her eyes dodged off his spooky stare, "Those man I beat up, said, that they will take me to see Yama, so I was wondering…" she herself founded her words quite weird, but not knowing how this world works, she just stayed put to hear his answers.
He chuckled, his stature relaxed, he was finally getting to see his untaught daughter who didn't understand the world, "There is no way that they could take you to meet such a fictional character, but were you really the one to beat those men?".
During the last sentence his face become serious and he gulped to hear her answer.
She nodded, "They were too weak to be called as a man. Some were quite thin and some were thick, but they didn't had any strength. I just barely pushed them and they fainted down".
Mr. Castillo made a very frail images of those men in his mind and grinned.
She suddenly thought of something and looked toward the door, "I want to meet those two men, who saved my life when I was in danger".
"It is late now, so meet them tomorrow," he said aloofly.
She nodded and pushing her chair back, she stood up. "Then Mr.…." she paused after his hopeful eyes looked at her and shined brightly.
It was tough for her to call someone else as her father but she knew that her body's real father was him and she had to call him that, since she was going to live with him.
Even though she could refuse to, but the wish to quickly repent and go back to hell was more then her ego and finally she opened her mouth.
"Then father, I will be going to have some rest," she said.
He brimmed with smile. He didn't excepted her to call him father because the real Theo stopped calling him like that, ages ago.
Coming back to her room, she took a deep breath. It was hard for her to pretend a cool body since she have gotten habituated as an ill tempered tyrant. She was used to kill people who offended her and no matter what, she killed other just for a single mistake.
It was as if she almost lost her self and become a living dead who could only think of blood.
"Was it a hallucination?" she mumbled while remembering about the things happened inside the car.
The blue wavy light which completely covered them before shattering away was something she was familiar to, and just by its thought, her heart ached.
While she was lying on the bed, she sat down properly as the thoughts started to go wild.
Shutting down her eyes and sitting in a squat position, she completely concentrated. Few minutes later, her eyebrows furrowed while she was still concentrating.
It was the blue bead which was placed near her heart. The world where she used to live, all the people had the blue bead with different divination power, but what made her curious was whether it was only her who had the bead or others living there also had the similar lifestyle as her previous world?
"If the blue bead is here, then that's mean that my life have fixed years left to live. I need to find someone to ask. No, it's better to take that smart phone and ask from it or others will be suspicious of me," she mumbled.
Next day, she didn't got up in the morning because she didn't slept to began with.
"Ugh! This weak body! I am feeling sleepy just by pulling a night. I wonder who is after her," she mumbled and stretched her body.
The whole night she stayed up to acquire knowledge about this world and how it works.
She took a smart phone from Nanny Ai and ran it until its battery went down. After it switched off, she slapped it, bashed it on the bed but it didn't worked and so she kept staring at it while trying to find a solution.
"I know almost everything about this world. It's a relief that I have a sharp memory even in another world, but it's indeed a fact that I will again die after reaching the age 25th if I don't find my soulmate, but I wonder what's this body real age is?"
Her thoughts were running wild and as soon as nanny Ai entered inside the room, she hurriedly asked her to help her get changed.
While getting changed, Theo kept staring at nanny Ai. "I wonder why that phone stopped working, is there something wrong with it?" she asked hesitantly.
It was in her head that as the monarch of her country, there is nothing she needs to ask others, but now that she needed to ask, she felt embarrassing.
"Its battery is down, but young master, you don't have to worry, your father will buy you the best model since your previous one is broken," she replied.
"Previous one is broken? Did I had one?" she asked.
Nanny Ai chuckled and nodded, "You always used to change your cell phone after breaking it down or bashing it on the wall".
Theo ignored her words which were full of embarrassment and asked her to take her to Jasper's place.
The Guest room:
"Sir, Mr. Castillo is the greatest aide to the king. What if he recognizes you," said Gird while being worried.
Jasper was lying on the bed while reading a book. "He won't because he have never seen me," he replied and annoyingly stared at him, "you have your own room, but why are you sticking at my place?".
Gird sighed, "Because I am worried!".
Jasper chuckled and sat down while putting the book behind, "Why are you worrying for me? Don't you know my strength?".
The fresh air in the early morning was entering through the window and Gird glanced at the window with a dismay look, since he can't stare at prince like that.
"I wasn't worried about you rather it was the opposite. I was worried that you might try to infiltrate their mansion and create some sort of trouble," Gird said.
Childishly pointing toward Gird, he said while grinning, "You have learnt to insult me on my face, do you want to get some nice punishment".
Gird took a deep breath while looking at the other side and changed the topic, "Well, what do you think if his majesty finds out that the Castillo heir is not mentally retarded but was acting as one".
Jasper smirked and stood up, he walked toward the window and stared at the flowers in the garden with his lonely eyes.
"I don't think that they were lying rather then that, it was more like, his son got normal after hurting his head," he replied.
It didn't made sense to Gird, "But how can a person who just got better after being living like a mentally retarded, fight and win from ten men?".
"That is something I am curious about, too. But I am sure that he had a wound on his head even before his car got involved in an accident and if I remember it correctly, then he doesn't even remember his father," he said as he smirked and turned back to look at Gird reaction.
He was confused and it seemed that it was too much for him to take anymore knowledge inside his head.
"So, you are saying that, Mr. Castillo son mental state become stable after his head injured in some process and he suddenly become a superhero who walked out from an overturned car and kicked all those men by himself" in one breath he said.
Jasper didn't replied and just smirked.
