"Thank you for your assistance, sir." I rubbed my hand and embraced the heat of the bonfire.

"You don't need to thank us miss. You are one of us and you were a student of our ancestor." The middle-aged man said, outstretching his hand towards someone, gesturing to come here.

A woman came shortly with a towel and a cup of noodles. "Thanks," I answered back. I turned to face Mr.Devito who took his seat across me. "Do you still use the pigeon system?"

He gave a fatherly chuckle, "Yes miss. That's a family tradition. We ought not to eliminate it from our lifestyle but we also ought to catch up with time, If you are looking for a telephone we have it too."

"No, No Pigeon system will be fine." I don't know Alexander's phone number, I hate myself.

"Just wait a second."

"Carmen, you have been off lately What's the matter?" My eyes widened to the sudden appearance of my father.

"Nothing father, It's just-" I halted abruptly, "I don't know. I just don't know."

"Is it Peter?" He asked with his arms folded over his chest.

"No."

"I am your father, I know when you all too well, you don't conceal anything from me. I know that you two were something more because I was once your age too." I didn't reply, I just kept my gaze downwards. "What Peter did is immoral but it's not his negligence entirely. He lost his mother, she was the only thing he had."

"Father. You are the King, aren't you? then why didn't you interrupt them?" My eyes held a pity for that boy.  I don't know what this is but I feel angry when someone says something to him. I feel unhappy when he is unhappy. I feel cheerful when he is cheerful.

"It was the villager's judgment and I was solely helpless."

"Of Course," I mumbled, with my gaze fixed towards my fingers.

"Okay! Enough of this silence, I truly expect you to concentrate on something."

'Strange'

I raised my eyebrows. "I want you to embrace your true nature."

"My true nature."

"You do realize, you have two marks, right?"

"Indeed but I don't know their valid meaning."
