Chapter 71 - 72. My Instinct (1/2)

”Should we chain him or something so that he will not run? I am not sure he will not run away once we get him out. That person is still very cunning before and after his death, even in someone else's body!” Said Azalea annoyed while slamming Antonie's notebook.

Miss Anty seemed to understand her hot-tempered friend. She patted Azalea's shoulder to calm her down, ”Calm down. We will not treat his body, but his heart. We make him believe that we will not hurt him, but will help him recollect his past,” She said slowly.

”Sometimes not everything can be solved by fighting. We will approach him, seek information from all the things he still remembers. I am sure he eventually will believe us,” The entire room seemed to be listening seriously, not to mention Azalea who turned out to be a little calmer..

”When we take him to that place and make it happen in front of him, he may gain memory by itself. For now, let him remember all the things he still can,” After saying that Miss Anty returned to the notebook Antonie gave to me.

”It is a good idea for you for ask him to write whatever he still remembers,” I just nodded in response to her compliment. Then Miss Anty turned to gaze at Azalea, ”Be a little gentle with him. We will take his heart, and then take him to that place,”

...

After the banquet, we all said goodbye. The light in the sky had gone. It meant that it was night now. I started to get used to this place so I didn't ask too many questions about things that were still strange to me.

Azalea and I were sitting face to face in the carriage because Yoru did not go home with us. He said he had things to do there, especially about how to take Antonie out and prevent him from escaping.

Azalea asked me to discuss further during our trip home, ”Can you approach him?” She asked, feeling doubtful about my capacity.

”I will do my best,” I replied convincingly. ”He has been in that cage, not a day or two. If it happened to me, I would not trust anyone so easily. I need time to approach him and gain his trust, and all the information about what he still remembers,” I tried to explain to Azalea what was in my mind, and asked her patience to get a maximum outcome.

”I hope you can do it faster,” Azalea looked into me with a serious gaze, ”I tell you one thing, that spell doesn't last forever. If we cannot get it in time, your friend is in danger. Hi s spirit will be lost, and he cannot go back to Kerberos place, then,---”She paused for a moment.

”You are smart enough, aren't you? To be able to guess what will happen next if the spirit does not go back to its place,” Without being defined, I understood what Azalea means.

Naar and I went back to the city square as we both agreed. Its atmosphere was pretty different from the first time we went there. We were quiet to each other and feeling a. I did not take Kerberos along with it as I said yesterday.

I was not too innocent and naïve a woman who did not know the characteristics when my opposite sex had a special interest in me. My instinct said that Naar personally had an interest in me. I felt so much sorry for him for behaving too nice to him and gave a response to him. I should have ignored him and acted normally so that I did not have to feel like I had cheated him and played with his feelings. Honestly, the meeting at Miss Anty's home was very unexpected.

”Could I ask you something?” Naar's voice stopped my footsteps. I turned and faced him, ”I am sorry but I keep thinking about this,” He was awkward, ”Who is that guy? I mean..”  He paused and looked at me deeply. Perhaps he was confused about how to express what was bothering his mind, ”So, so long you work for Azalea for the sake of that person?”
