Jin : where's she ?

Alex ; she ?

Jin : my wife.

Alex : she's gone for a few days. She'll be back when she's back she said.

Jin : I see. I'll be at Yuri's. Don't come find me unless the sky is falling.

Alex : and Lady Raverie?

Jin : she's not the sky.

Alex : understood. But we should tell you if mistress came back ?

Jin looked to his butler with a look. Then he left.

Lisa , lianari's servant was there " so is that yes or no ?"

Alex : yes. That's a yes. Master only returns with a strong no when he doesn't want something. Silence is a definite yes.

Lisa : are you sure ?

Alex : trust me.

The small business owner returned to his house. Unknowing to him , something bad is about to happen. He pushed open his house door and walked in.

" Wife ! Rex ! I bought the food you wanted ! "

" How nice. "

The man was surprised to hear this voice. A female voice that sounded devious. He turned around to see his wife and son tied up sitting left and right of the chair of this unfamiliar character . Their mouths were plastered over with a tape.

" Who are you !!"

" me ? Hmm... I wonder if you've heard of me. After all , you seem to have quit the army a long time. Soldier Argon . " The character smirked.

Argon ; ... You're from the army. Who are you and what do you want ? I didn't escape. I quit.

" So it seems. I checked. It all seemed legit. I'm Lianari by the way. " She crossed her leg .

Argon moved backwards and collapsed against the couch " You're, the Colonel Lianari. "

Lianari: nice to see I still can put fear into some people.

Argon : release them. Please !! I have nothing you want !! I don't even work for your army.

Lianari: you were in Bino's army.

Argon : yes...

Lianari: you didn't die.

Argon ; so you're here to kill me ?

Lianari: you think I'll let you wait this long ? You're actually smart. Unlike the other one. He couldn't keep the money they gave him. You put in your resignation before you completed the task. You got the money and ran. I had to spend such effort to track you down.

Argon: no one could find me all these years ... How did you ?

Lianari: they didn't try hard enough. Also , no one can stop me if I want to find someone.

Argon kneeled in surrender " let my family go. I'll let you kill me. "

Lianari: you're not stupid. You must have kept those letters that Bino sent out to the capital. As some kind of leverage. Smart people all do.

Argon : I give it to you , you let my family go ? And never tell anyone I'm here.

Lianari: you're not , at liberty to bargain here. Though... I'm not interested to tell people where you are. I just want...

Argon : I'll give it to you. I'll give it to you.

Lianari: and who the hell hired you then ?

Argon: he reached out to me . That guy wore a mask . There is one thing about him. His wrist has a red flower. It has 5 petals.

Lianari: draw me the flower and give me the letters. I will leave you well alone.

Lianari brings the tattoo back to Mr Jura's place the first thing she returned back to the capital. She waited patiently for him for him to return.

Mr Jura returned quite quickly upon hearing her at his place " you found something? Colonel Lianari."

Lianari: I could wait. I understand you have more important things.

Jura : you're all equally important. I was just sorting some things. No judgement today.

Lianari; I see.

Jura : what is it you need me see

Lianari gives him the drawing of the red flower with 5 petals. " Do you know of this ?"

Jura ; hmm... No.

Joyle, Mr Jura's daughter came with a tray of cookies " hi. Lianari. Father. "

Jura : we're talking business.

Joyle ; understand. Hm ? Your business have to do with that ?

 Hm ? Your business have to do with that ?
