Chapter 12
Dmitri still couldn't believe that the King would call and resolve his earlier punishment and instead tasked him to let the new force do anything it wanted to do, as long as it did not step over the boundaries of the Spartan. When he couldn't control his curiosity and asked about his wisdom behind it, his unbelievable words almost made him cough blood.
"I heard the King let you off this time." Came in the voluptuous Chynna. One of the squadron leaders of the Spartan. Despite the hierarchy between him and the squadron leaders, at the end of the day, they were but still, good comrades.
"Not necessarily. More like I have to thank someone because of it." "Oh? Who?"
"The lady boss."
This time, Chynna's eyes turned deadly but she recovered and hid it right away but that didn't escape Dmitri's sight. He just hopes that this won't lead to her own downfall.
"Oh, you must be joking. It's been five years, has there been lead now? About the Future lady boss?"
"I haven't asked Ryan yet. But I surely will."
"Hmm, but what's the relationship of the Future lady boss with the new force?" Chynna couldn't hide her loathing just because that force was the reason why their Spartan force was humiliated to such a degree. And now it is such a wonder that their King would just rather leave that force alone. And what about it being related to that woman. Just thinking of her and how she and her comrades suffered gravely because of their King's pursuit to find her made her hate her even more. And that also for another selfish reason.
"We'll come to know about that soon enough." Dmitri stared at her directly before walking ahead, leaving Chynna seething in jealousy.
Elitista Hotel
It's been two days since the food delivery incident and things with Baelforce have surprisingly gone well and stable now. Veronica was already thinking of going back to Country R as she already missed her family and much especially her most precious twins.
She thought she'd be staying longer than a month but it turned out that a week will do. And maybe she will from time to time visit her force in Country P to check personally. What held her back from going back home in Country R was Zero who, in her delight, was seriously investigating his origin. She knows that he had already found some trace but she'll be patient for
him to report things to her all at once. Since she already finished things that she was supposed to do for a day, she decided to video call to talk to her twins.
After a while....
"Mommy!" Baelfair's lively voice first sounded right away. Veronica saw her youngest twin as usual wearing her flower dress and her hair was in a cute updo. Veronica must admit that this four years old daughter of hers is a little fashionista and excited to learn a lot about proper etiquette as a lady. On the other hand, her eldest twin was just there watching her on the screen, polite and intelligent as ever. And much more mature compared to his younger twin. As usual, he was wearing a cute 3/4 cut sleeve with a bow tie.
She can't see what pants he was wearing but she knows it's the usual black slack. Sometimes if she feels like it, she would have to persuade Baelfire to give up his usual style and let her as his mom, dress him up like what a four years old boy was supposed to wear.
"How are you babies?" Veronica's gentle and soft voice made the twins almost cry as they've already missed her very much. It was Baelfair who sobbed right away. "We mish you mommy! Pish come hewm shewn!" Veronica right that instant wanted to call her personal pilot and manned her private plane back to Country R.
"Baelfair, hush now. Didn't you promise Mommy that you'll be good? Mom's gonna be back soon. Hush now." Seeing Baelfire trying to console his younger sister hurts Veronica's heart so bad she had to control herself from crying as well.
"It's okay, babies. Mom's gonna be back soon, okaya?"
"Mommy did you see daddeh dehh? Ah you bwinging him back hehh to see us?"
Veronica was speechless after hearing Baelfair's plea. Oh goodness. After all those years, she never did expect that her twins would still crave for their own father in spite of being spoiled both by her fathe and uncle Bien and additionally by her three younger brothers.
"Fair!" Baelfire looked expectant just a while ago but seeing their mother's conflicted expression made him feel guilty. Their mom raised the two of them all by herself. He knew that it's not what a traditional family was supposed to be but Fire came to a conclusion that there might be a reason as to why their father wasn't around with them.
"What? Awen't you happy that we've finewy (finally) see daddeh even just in pitchah (picture)?! We both wooked (looked) eggzacyy (exactly) wike (like) him!" Fair seemed to have lost it and laid in bare her promised secret with her older twin brother earlier. Before she realized it, it was all too late now.
She had spilled everything now! It won't be too long for their mother to know that Fire hacked the most formidable company in Country P as he was curious about it and the country their mother went to.
But what he discovered was rather surprising after seeing private information about the CEO and owner of Sy International. Fire wasn't supposed to tell it to Fair for he knows too well of how much of a blabber mouth his younger twin sister is but what he didn't realize is that she was sneakily watching behind him and he only found out about it when she gasped after seeing the picture of Rawlf Sy.
He made her promise not to tell anyone, even their mom for the meantime as they were both not sure of it but well.. Right now, Fire had finally realized to what extent Fair's blabber mouth could endangered them both.
