The King's Obsession

C431 - People at the doorstep- Part 1

The sound of the gunshot was loud enough to wake up Lisa who had been fast asleep. She quickly ran into the room, "What happened?!"     

"The Salvete Mortem was here with the axe in its hand," answered Jungkook, staring at Momo before he turned around to look at Lisa with a bright smile on his face. "It disappeared after hearing the gunshot."      

Lisa looked around the room, then looked at Momo who was awake, "Are you alright? Did it harm you?"      

Momo didn't know what to say because she didn't know what was going on again. Before she could say something, Jungkook said,     

"Don't worry, my sweet. Until I am here, I will make sure your sister will be safe."     

Momo had a look of shock on her face because of the bullet that hit next to her. Jungkook had aimed the gun straight at her before he had pulled the trigger, and she had flinched back in fear, not realizing that Jungkook had moved his hand one second before pulling the trigger, missing the aim at her to shoot right behind the headboard of the bed. She was sure she would die, but now that she was still alive, she stared at Jungkook in disbelief, who stared back at her.      

"Do you think it will come back?" questioned Lisa. Momo, who had no idea of who this Salvete Mortem was, looked at them with a puzzled look on her face.      

 "Not for a while at least. You can stay here with her," suggested Jungkook and Lisa nodded her head.      

 Momo looked more than disoriented. Jungkook had not killed her and had let her live. Then why did he pull the trigger? She couldn't believe when Jungkook suggested Lisa to stay in here with her?     

Jungkook's gaze had not left Momo, and he continued to stare at her. "With the second greeter of death who showed up here, you can keep an eye on it if it appears again because I doubt your sister can see it."     

Lisa sighed, "Momo, don't worry. I won't let anything bad happen to you, okay?" She walked to her sister and sat down on the bed. "I will be right here with you." Right now, Momo needed Lisa around her more than anyone else. She didn't know if the King had let her off the hook for now, but if there was someone who wanted her alive, it was Lisa.      

"I will be back soon," informed Jungkook, and Lisa gave him a nod.      

Sparing one more look at his sister-in-law, Jungkook stepped out of the room. He found Raphael sitting in the same place where he had been sitting earlier. The card reader stared at the King, and a faint smile appeared on his face.      

"Did you get the answers which you were looking for?" asked Raphael. He had heard the entire conversation that took place in the room while making sure not to interrupt Jungkook.     

"She is a human," replied Jungkook, making his way away from the room, and Raphael stood up to follow him closely. "Their grandmother must have messed with her memories many times, because of which she must have turned immune to the woman's spells after a point. Or it must be a possible blockage."      

Raphael, who kept his feet with Jungkook, raised his eyebrows in question, "Blockage?"      

Torches on the walls lit up as they walked in the empty and dark corridor every time when Jungkook's feet stepped near the torches on the walls, and they exhausted themselves when he walked past them.      

"Apart from losing memories and having a reset where you start from where the intruder last visited the memory, there are times where memories changes. Every time a spell is put on the person, it builds a wall to hide the memory, and the wall builds so much that there is no more space left to hide the memories. But I believe there is a slight modification when it comes to Miss Momo's case," explained Jungkook, "As much as her actions were driven through emotions that were filled in by her grandparents, the old memories have stayed intact. After seeing what happened to Lisa, she must have created a block that caused the spell to not have any effect on her. She has probably turned immune to it."
