บท 24: Chapter 24: Stalker-ception (1)
A poor maid in the Kaiser estate lamented yet again today. It was the lifestyle of a young lady that did not suit her at all, she wasn't to be blamed.
No, maybe she was.
She would never have had to live under so much pressure had it not been for her black hair that was cut in the same style as Kristine's.
She still remembered the young lady's words as she was forced into her clothes, had her own clothes stripped off, and threatened to no end.
"From today, you are Kristine," she had said. "Do not leave this room, no matter what. Do you get it?"
"Yes! Yes!"
"I'll be back in the nights, till then make sure to keep up the farce."
Those words that seemed to have been like a knife, those eyes that seemed to want to shove that knife down her throat, the poor maid wanted to cry everyday.
She didn't know nobles could be this scary.
"I am quitting next month…"
Her job only lasted a month and a day.

Kristine's teeth sank into the trunk of a tree as she stared at the office down in the magic tower.
She couldn't see!
Those damned magicians, stupid prudes. Priggish, annoying, hassle some, nosy magicians! Those damned scraggly twigs that would make even a stick-bug feel fat and a sloth feel athletic!Why did they have to make a magic tower of hundreds of floors? No! Why did they have to give her Isaac an office on the top most floors?
Did they have no consideration? Were stalkers like her not to be counted for?
"Democracy! This is a crime in the name of democracy. Such underrepresentation and exploitation of minorities. Just because I am stalking him, do I have no rights?"
It wasn't a democracy.
And she did lose her rights if she stalked.
The fiery hot knight was in no mood to listen, now, though. She deeply considered climbing up the tower, but the last time she did it, the defenses activated. She could have also strode right in through the doors, but.
"What if I run into Lord Isaac. Aaah, how can I just stride in. He'll not like me if I am so bold hehehe!"
"Who is that?"
"I don't know, looks like a creep. Should we tell the guards?"
"Police, I say, we inform the police."
A cough left Kristine as she adjusted her head cap and shook her body straight. In the drabs she had borrowed from one of her kind-hearted maids that readily supported her excursion and volunteered to stay in her room to hide her leave from everyone else in the estate.
But now, she wasn't able to confirm if someone was truly with her Lord Isaac or not.
If someone was, what would she do?
Kristine lowered her head and thought.
"Hm, death is the only option."
"Hey go call the police right now!"
Her mumbles seemed to have escaped! Kristine adjusted her own personal stalking sunglasses and masks and dashed away from the place before any guard could come around. For a knight, just kicking off with a slight amount of aura was enough to leave behind those magicians like a hare could leave behind turtles.
Night started inching closer and in the end, Kristine's excursion proved to be futile. With gloom hanging on her head, she made her way back to the estate, she wanted to grumble and roll around on the bed right away with all her Isaac pillows.
Just how annoying was it to imagine someone else with him?
Was this… love?
Kristine's cheeks flushed red as she started fanning her face and looked away. Her breath got hot as she moved her mask away and sighed.
"Hoof, not love, not at all, it's just some… admiration. Yes, a little bit of infatuation… There's nothing more."
And yet today, Kristine did not admit her own feelings despite acting on them more impulsively than a toddler would.
It was when she neared the turn back to her house, did she notice someone on a tree in the window next to her house. The man in a lion mask donned long drabs as he peered toward the window, trying his best to peek beyond the curtains that had been draped down.
"What is this?" She muttered and lowered her gaze, there, hiding behind a car and against a tree at the cafe next to her estate, there was yet another man in long drabs and a neck gaiter hiding his face.
