118 Lisa; Sooner or Later, I Will Find The Truth! (3)
(Jane’s PoV)
As I was still mulling over the fact that none of what they were talking about made sense, both of them had continued talking. I was sure I paid attention to them, but I couldn’t make a head or tail to what they were talking about. I could only catch so words such as ‘the chosen one’ being repeated and ‘the world is changing’.
By the ti I ca to my senses, they had concluded their conversation and sohow I got a ‘token of acceptance’ from the elder.
“My na is Guntur Bharata. The girl you t before is my great-great-granddaughter, our dearest descendant who possesses the ability to inherit the family but refuses to do so. Since her father had closed her ability, we have no way to persuade her to accept her fate.” The old man sighed.
Her father closed her ability? She is the sa as , then!
But, mine was locked, not closed by my father. It also had a ti limit and when I turned seventeen, I had started to ‘feel’ them. I also accepted my ability, even though I was not excited to do so but things happened and I didn’t have the chance to refuse it.
Besides, I didn’t know what exactly happened to Lisa that made her refused her fate to inherit the family. I guessed I just needed to find the right ti to ask her about it.
“You don’t need to introduce your na. Number Seven had told about you.” He waved his hand impatiently before I could even produce any sound. This old man was quite sassy, huh? “Take this. This world will be shaken in a while but I hope you can calm it down later.” The old man tossed a long white silk scarf which was almost as light as feather.
I held the scarf in my hands in confusion. What is it for?
.....
As if sensing my confusion, the old man sneered. His eyes reflected his mocking towards . “You’ll need it when you et that old woman under the water.”
Old Woman under the water? Did he an the Queen of South Sea?
By the ti I ca to my senses, the old man had walked out of the house and disappeared in the dark night. Since the source of my answer had gone, I could only turn to the second person who was involved in the previous conversation.
“Milady, your eyes scared .” Siji stepped back as my eyes t his. It was so rare to see him getting flustered but I wouldn’t back down. Not now.
“Speak. What do you know?”
“About what?”
I smiled. “Don’t play dumb with .”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about, Milady.” He smiled nervously.
“Oh really?” He must have known that I was being sarcastic with him as he grew anxious.
“The Elders are calling for . I need to go!” With that, he turned around and disappeared.
Running away, huh? I smirked. Seeing he was getting so flustered over a simple question from , I guessed it was not sothing he could divulge so freely to . There must be a rule to that. But, sooner or later, I would know everything I needed to know.
There’s no need to be overly anxious about it, then.
As I thought so, I walked into my bedroom and let the dream fairy took to my dream.
After that night visit, Sir Guntur had not co to my house again. However, Siji would disappear occasionally. Compared with the hidden information of that they had talked about before, I was more curious about Siji’s past.
I shook my head. I was distracted again. Right now, my priority was Lisa. I needed to know about her. I had known that the powerful figures behind her was probably being tied down by Sir Guntur and it would be related to his identity which was hard for to find out, but as I was seeing her more and more these days, I noticed a Shadow was following her.
But, the old man and his n didn’t take any movent towards that Shadow which only led to two options; first, they didn’t know about the Shadow existence or it could the Shadow was not invading their range of protection, and second, the Shadow was related to them.
I was more inclined towards the first option, actually.
At first I thought it was a lost Shadow, or a Shadow without Master. But as I kept seeing it every ti I t Lisa, I noticed that this Shadow had its eyes on Lisa. But, with the protection of her ancestors, I doubt this thing would ever lay its fingers on her.
Still, I was curious. To have a Shadow followed like this was not sothing good. It was mostly because the person the shadow was following was cursed by soone and surely the intention was either to kill the person or just torturing him/her.
I thought, Lisa must have been in contact with so dark magic before. But that thought went as soon as it ca because I had no proof that she was involved in dark magic.
So, what was the problem?
It wouldn’t take long for to find the answer. Behind her bright smile, Lisa was hiding a deep scar that would always haunt her whenever and wherever.
