THE NOBLES OF NEWLAND (BLOODLINER AND THE TALES OF THE NEW SAGA BOOK 1)

Chapter 20: Dania

"Crocodile."

Yaerf Hotel.

Capitol, Sail City, Republic.

DANIA WOKE UP BY ACCIDENTALLY DREDGING ALDE'S CHIN QUITE HARD AS SHE SAT DOWN SUDDENLY. They both shouted at the same time. The difference is, Dania who sweats cold, while Alde who is in pain.

"Why the hell are you doing that!?" Snapped Alde with pain. "It's not me who dragged your body up here, if you're just looking to find a reason to repay me." He continued with movements such as punching that was restrained.

"Hey, control yourself." Dania said flat. "I'm fine if you were the one who do it." While she was looking for her bag to pick up a handkerchief and a mirror. "Where are we?" Dania asking.

At a glance, Dania could see the room she is in now. Like the security control room in the Security Department, it's just, much more sophisticated. I don't know, I mean, everything is sophisticated now. You know, years 3029. Dania concluded; they were in one of the other secret rooms. Dania actually became relieved precisely because of Alde's reaction just now. It didn't seem as urgent as she had imagined. At least not here. The Marine Cyguard must have overcome whoever the terrorists were.

"The situation is getting worse." Noval said.

Oops, missed away. It turns out that nobody is perfect after all.

Stand in front of the monitor screen. Dania could feel the anxiety in Noval's voice as he continued, "Mama and the white royal family have reached their destination safely. We just have to wait here until Diveboat comes back to pick us up."

"Sorry, what?" Dania asked while continuing to justify her hair and makeup. We must be safe. Take it easy, Dania's mind, even though her own hands were trembling.

"Mini submarine, Princess." A voice that Dania shouldn't have listened to in this place, spoke. Dania looked quickly at the origin of the sound. Marchesca Xhang, standing waist-to-waist in shadow with her green silk embroidered with gold crocodiles. It's only a few meters away from the door. Dania suddenly stood up.

"Who can explain why there is a crocodile here?" Of course, Dania's intention is her permanent haters.

"Enough, Noona." Noval cut Dania. Dania could listen to Marsha echoed something like beautiful pretentious sea mammal with a reduced voice, as he continued his explanation. "I have ordered all the guards to go home and save their families. The building first security stage has been activated. No one can get in or out of here." He added, "If that's what you're asking."

Dania sat back. Grunting at Marsha's triumphant gaze. "Why is she here?" Dania whispered to Alde, not giving up. Which Alde only replied by elbowing. "Fine." Dania put one foot on the other.

The room was filled with blue lighting, iron-walled, and full of computers at the bottom of the big screen, while on Dania's side sat, just a sofa and a mini bar. That large monitor screen became mostly a source of illumination. There is also a rectangular iron table right in the middle of the room, which emits a hologram of the Yaerf Hotel building map. There are only four people inside the hotel, just like a mini hologram that signifies where Dania is located just now: a secret room right next to her family's VVIP room on the top floor of the building. Dania turned to the tightly closed iron-covered door not far from Marsha. Wish she knew where the button was to open it and send the woman out politely.

"How much longer until the next Diveboat?" Marsha asked Noval.

"I don't know, another hour. Maybe." Noval said he wasn't sure. His gaze was glued to the screen, where the radar still showed no sign of anything. He had taken off his black tuxedo and tie, just a white shirt with the length were rolled up to the elbows. Fortunately, his dark hair, which as dark as the night sky, had not been messy.
