Beautiful Thief

Chap8

(Jericho)

"Dinner is served."

We ate at Mrs Tinna's dining room. I've known her ever since I was a young boy, I used to come to her house back then. She was my personal nurse. So, when I saw Black all wounded and weak I immediately brought her to the nicest nurse on the planet.

"your salad is still the best, Mrs Tinna.. this never grow old.." I credited her

"mama never cook me this many food very often, brother.. you should come here always then" 4 year old Flenn said as he took some of his chocolate milk.

"hahahhh.. then I should be back, Flenn.."

"there, there.. don't promise to Flenn, Jericho.. he will make you really do it, you know.."

"hahhahha.. I will do it.."

"but you're too busy.."

"I still got time to enjoy my life with your foods, Mrs Tinna.."

"hahahhahh.. still a playful boy, Jericho.. still a playful boy.."

Then, Flenn suddenly said something. "why are you not eating?" he asked Black who was beside her mother and across me.

"I don't like the food."

"w-what?!!"

"h-hey, Flenn!!" I cut the conversation before it becomes trouble "do you want to come with me to the palace tomorrow?.. I could show you around there.."

It's a very mean thing to say in front of the people who prepared it. Black is indeed someone who still needs to learn some manners.

"I'll just stay to the room.." she stood and went back to the room

I don't know her. I've searched a lot, but I couldn't find any record of her in the kingdom. She's very mysterious.

"I'm so sorry.." I apologized to them.

"knowing you, Jericho... I know, you're planning something.. whatever it is.. please do be careful .." Mrs Tinna warned "that wound she got... it was very deep.. the people who did that are not to be taken for granted at all.. I could see that they really wanted to kill her.."

"yes.. I know..."

Someone wanted to kill Black. But, I'm sure it's not guards from our kingdom. It must be from the other places, or it must be someone like her—thieves.

I sat beside her looking at the stars by the window.

"how are you feeling now?.."

"the same.."

"you'll feel better soon.."

"I know"

This girl is really bad mannered, eh. No one has ever talked to me like this, not even my spoiled sister Jessica.

"you know..." I told her " I really think that you're really good in stealing.."

"hah.. yeah right.. good in stealing? I didn't even succeeded in that good for nothing crown.. how can you say that?.."

I smiled. "that day when we met.. you didn't successfully took that crown, alright.. ahhah.." then I told her "but you stole my heart instead.."
