Let the Right One In

Chapter 5

Chapter 5: The Hussein's Palace

"Dulce..."

A felt something touching my shoulders, slightly shaking it.

"Milady, we're here. In my home," Holy cow! It brought me back to life.

"Uh, yeah," I can't think of any answer. I still can't absorb all of this things. I just enter the tribe of Picaresque, and now. Hussein's Palace.

Just wow! I think I'll be dead already. To much information for me to swallow.

"Be, ready. We are going to enter, anytime by now," he informed me.

I unconsciously, touch my face and make sure that no dirt will be there, or anything that they'll surely notice.

I'm a newcomer. I'm sure they will be curious and inspect me, or worst investigate me! I don't know how to answer properly!

I'm doomed. Earth please, eat me. Right now! I'm wishing some impossible things to be able to happen.

Am I really sinful, in my very past life? If not, why this tremendous things happening to me! Can someone explain? Why?

I'm hopefully asking, as if there will be someone will explain why this things happening to me.

'It's destined to happen'.

A voice suddenly, invade me. I thought it's from Noire, but when I look at him. He's only looking at the way where were heading to.

He suddenly look at me." Do you need something, milady?" so it's not him.

"Did you heard, something? Or someone?" I'm asking him if heard it too. I hope he does.

"No, I didn't hear anything, milady. Why? You did?" but in my surprise, he didn't hear anything.

I shake my head, and give him a complicated smile. I thought it's him. Am I hallucinating?

W-what? Did someone talk to me? Did you hear it too? Shit, I'm hallucinating again. But I'm really sure, that I heard someone saying something to me.

The cracks of opening gate, take me back to where we're really is. The Palace of Hussein's. Noire's home.

It suddenly make my heart feel nervous again. Every new things bombarded me and leave an aftershock. I'm shaking and nervous again.

It's tiring to feel nervous everytime, new things comes out of nowhere and slap in my face surprisingly.

I need to get ready and prepare myself, for a new battle that I will face. Let's just pray, that Noire's parents are kind. And don't belong to those scumbags.

Dulcenea... Breath. You can do this! I cheer myself up. This is insane, really insane.

We already reach the edge of their tall and giants gates. The guards bowed their heads to us, maybe to mister Noire only.

The guards seems to be strong and can kill me anytime if I do something crazy and cause danger to their master, which is Noire Hussein.

The built of their bodies, are insanely amazing! They also have a uniform, that's perfectly hugging their well-toned arms and body. Their sexy but dangerous.

Ready to kill mercilessly at anytime by now. So I make myself quiet and compose as possible as I can do.

"We are glad that, you're already back. And came hope safely, Your Highness," greet by one of those guards. He's all smile, and proud at the same time. He's maybe the captain of those guards.

I unconsciously look towards Noire, and to my surprise, he also smile and pay the greetings of his guards.

"It's really good to be back, Zanto. You miss me?" a chuckles suddenly surround us. They are laughing. All of them.
