บท 242: Pair of Eyes

Thursday, 1st October 1582.

The affluent neighborhood of Calm Springs was as peaceful as ever. The streets were still empty, devoid of any people or steam cars. After all, the sun had yet to rise. It was the time of twilight when the sky was neither dark nor completely lit.

Regardless, it was the beginning of the month, a new beginning so to speak. For the owner of the mansion on 16 Calm Springs, it was definitely a new beginning. Bryan was pacing around in his meditation room on the second floor in sheer nervousness.

From time to time, he would start biting his nails or fidgeting with his fingers. He couldn't remember the last time he was so nervous. It was probably when he had sex for the first time. No, perhaps even then he wasn't this nervous.

And he had every right to be tense. After all, it was the first of the month and only minutes before sunrise. That was the time appointed by the mysterious Lady Fate for the beginning of the gathering.
