POV Tantri
I arrived in front of mevrouw's house , got out of the car and rang the bell several times, a few moments later, a man with slender body, wearing casual butler clothes came out and headed for the gate, standing behind it.
"I'm sorry, who are you and what are you doing here?" he asked.
"I am Tantri Annie Dekker, daughter of mr. Erwin Dekker, second inspector of the cybersecurity division. I want to meet mevrouw Sofia, this is an emergency, this is about mr. Lodewijk Engels." I told him to give an explanation.
"Wait, I want to call someone first." he said then turned around, took out his smartphone while walking away from the gate then stopped and started talking to someone until he finished the conversation, turned around and walked back to where he was.
"Do you have a gun?" he asked, I nodded.
"Give me your gun to me first then you can enter." he asked.
I turned around, opened the car door, got in and took my gun from the dashboard, then got out of the car and handed it to the man.
"Wait a minute, I'll open the gate, you'd better get your car inside." said the man then opened the gate.
I put my car in, then got out and waited for the man to finish closing the gate. After that, he opened the door of the house and asked me to come inside.
"Please, come in."
When I entered, I saw a blonde haired woman with a slightly petite body wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and dark orange long skirt sitting on a chair. She looked charming, elegant and beautiful but tough. Is this Princess Sofia?
She rose from her chair and walked to me then stopped, her head looked up to my face and she introduced herself.
"I'm Sofia van Amsberg, the owner of this residence, welcome to my house, come, have a seat."
She asked me to sit on the guest bench while she returned to her seat."What would you like to drink?" she asked.
"Ah, just water, thank you." I answered.
"Mr. Wisnu, a glass of water for her, please." she asked the man, ah apparently the man was his servant.
"Yes, mevrouw." he replied and then left us.
"So, what do you want to tell?" she asked me with a serious look.
"I want to tell you about mr. Lodewijk Engels." hearing that name made his facial expression change, he looked uneasy.
"What's wrong? What happened to brother Lodewijk?" she asked in a worried tone. Her butler who had brought water for me and placed it on the table, he remained standing beside her with his cold gaze at me. I feel uneasy about wanting to tell this but no matter what the circumstances, I have to tell it because there is no point in keeping this story for myself either.
I started explaining about what happened to Lodewijk in sequence, starting from me who contacted Lodewijk, to our meeting at the tower viewer area until he was trapped and the part of the story where I took back my hard disk and his smartphone.
After seeing Lodewijk's smartphone, her eyes seemed watery, she stood up from her chair and said to me.
"Pardon me but please allow me to excuse myself for a moment, I want to tell someone about this, maybe he can help us find brother Lodewijk's location." she turned and walked towards the stairs, going upstairs.
I'm still sitting here awkwardly because her butler's cold gaze seems to say that I was the reason Lodewijk was trapped even though I didn't know anything.
