The Engineer's Obsession

Chapter 5

"You'll be fine" he reassured me as he injected me with something.

"You're not going to starve to death if you have this" he explained. So that's why even though I haven't eaten anything, I'm not hungry.

"Umm... Thank you" I murmured. He's rough sometimes but he's taking care of me. Bringing in some new sheets and clothes for me to wear, even this supplement that he's giving me.

He smiled, it's the first time I saw him smile genuinely.

"You need not to thank me. Besides, that's something I snooped around somewhere in that lady super-sized bitch's castle" he what?

"I will get you proper clothes later. You can come out now, just don't stray too far from the vicinity" he got up to clean the things he used to feed my body.

"Why do you trust me?" I asked without thinking.

He froze for a few seconds and sighed. He sat beside me on the bed.

"I definitely don't trust you but, you didn't escaped when I told you I'll kill you if you did. And I didn't want to kill you" though the last words are whispered, I still heard it clearly. I don't know why but my heart melted and I smiled.

"Come with me" he lend his hand in front of me and I didn't hesitate to grab it.

He led me outside and put his arms around my waist, my cheeks burned.

"Hold on to me tight" I did what he told me to do. Metals of sorts came flying around and built a stair.

We start to walk up but stopped midway. The platform we're standing at started moving on its own without any mechanism. I got scared and grabbed his neck to burrow my head on his chest.

He didn't complained and he just let me do it. After some time, I mustered up my courage to see. It's actually amazing, we're in midair floating, how does he do that?

"H-how come?" I asked in a little shaky voice.

"Well, my body was experimented by Mirander when I was just a kid. I acquired the ability of magnetism" he explained. Surprisingly, he's calm while explaining. I know he has a temper the first time I saw him with the other lords.

"Here we are" we dropped off at some place. It looks like a factory, for what?

We entered the place, it's all metals and lots of experimented bodies who have drills and other shits. It makes me feel nauseous just by seeing it. It could've been me, you know.

He noticed that I was a bit hesitant to enter the place, he covered my eyes and helped me walk. I just put my trust into him.

"Don't worry, they're all dead bodies when I experimented on them" he reassured me. That doesn't do anything but, alright.

"Well, if it isn't Lord Heisenberg. It's nice to see you, my Lord. And who do we have here?" He has lots of wares. Is he a merchant?

"She is NONE of your business, Fatso. You cannot say any words to Mirander or any of my sucker siblings" Heisenberg warned the poor man.

"Very well then. I am but a merchant of the village after all" despite Heisenberg lashing out his anger to the poor man, the merchant seems unfazed by his actions.

"I might just call her Lady Heisenberg" I blushed as the merchant tease me.

"Fine, whatever you say, just shut the fuck up" said Heisenberg but the merchant chuckled.

"Show the bitch— I mean the lady some of your wares" Heisenberg ordered. That got on my nerves but I'd rather shut my mouth than to be killed.

"Feel free to look around, I have the finest wares" the merchant suggested.
