Hancocks Pov

It had been 3 days since that.. 'argument'

i've never been this confused especially from a person..

Curse that child. I've never shed a tear, not from a bruise, not from a heartbreak, not from frustration — but to some liar!

i ended up snapping at everyone that night

i'm not bothered ..

if she wants to go on her own path .. then so be it .. i'm in no position to tell her what she cant and can do..

i say that.. yet i cant focus with my own set of duties.

it's really annoying how she kept saying that lo.. lo..ve word to me

it gets my heart racing, it's like having a soon close heart attack

I was lost in my thoughts when i heard a knock on my door

i instantly thought of y/n

i hastily stood up as that person let themselves in

but to my surprise it was Garp

i immediately sat down, feeling somewhat disappointed

"What a heart warming atmosphere here huh Empress Hancock?" Garp sarcastically say, laughing

"What do you want?"

Garp sits down, yawning

"Y/n's parents reached out to me about her attendance and why she had not been attending school lately. Got any idea why?"

What?? Y/n didn't tell her parents where she was off to?

"How would I know? Besides.. she's just missing school for 3 days, nothing bad there"

"3 days are equivalent to 18 lost lessons. That's pretty bad, ain't it Empress?"

i rolled my eyes

"Do you want me to answer that?" Garp say, teasing Hancock with a snarky remark

"Look Garp. We are by no means close. Perhaps she simply left school early?"

"Given how close her graduation is, it is no excuse. You must inform her worried, ill parents if you are aware of any information regarding her disappearance,," He stated, and I hated him because he was right.

"Alright.."

he stands up to leave but he turns around, "Another student disappeared along with Y/n too. Nikushimi is what I believe is the name."

That boy .. that won against y/n.. but i don't see why they would disappear together in the same day .. coincidence perhaps?

I arrived at home in the early afternoon.

"Please get in touch with Reiju Vinsmoke, Marguerite. Tell her that I need to see her right now as the situation is urgent."

"Yes, Empress."

Looks like i'll be a detective for today. Having to find a missing kid— ugh

as much as i hate to see this woman today, she was the last person y/n met up with before she disappeared

-
i waited patiently until it was time to meet up with her ex

"So what made you want to have dinner with me especially with your busy schedule, Empress?"

"Don't have any strange thoughts. I just want to talk about things related to y/n "I say officially.

"Right. Did she share her opinion with you?"
