50 So Confusing! (1/2)
After school, as promised, Sofie's waiting to pick up Ania and take her to Old Nicholson's office for a little chat. On the way there, she passed by the hunter's conference room. From the door, she can see how serious and hardworking the recruits were. Being able to hide their identities well while socializing with normal people. Their lives had changed the moment they decided to be a hunter. Everyone's being so dedicated with their work, as one of the founder of, she just want them to enjoy life as it is. Their dream of taking down the Hellgazers becomes the top most priority if they want to have peaceful lives.
”Big sis Sofie, is something the matter?” Ania pulled her sleeve as she doesn't quite know what Sofie's stopping for.
”Nothing, I'm just thinking about a day when we don't have to fight against the Hellgazer and live a happy life.” she then pats Ania's head and holds her little hand on the way to Nicholson's office.
Arriving at the front door of the office, Ania gave a few little knocks and a smiling Carolina opened the door for them.
”The guests have arrived. Oh how I miss this little adorable princess.” Carolina kisses Ania's cheek and also greeted Sofie.
”The little investigator is here. I'm not that ready to be interrogated though. How about we eat a few snacks before getting into the main reason why you suddenly paid a visit.” Nicholson handed over some chips and cookies for Ania to eat.
”Okay, an empty stomach won't get me anywhere though.” Ania giggled.
As Ania's eating her snacks, Carolina sat beside her to accompany her while Nicholson hands over some documents related to Volton's sponsorship on Ania's upcoming school activity.
”This man must be up to something bad again. Sponsoring such event, knowing that Ania's involved here, he must be preparing for some tricks that day.”
”That's why I showed it to you beforehand. Having Ania's connection to us all will put her life in danger. But no worries, I already planted some people as a part of the organizers for the school activity. Also, having all of you there will stir up a lot of attention so I'm asking for the hunter's society's help that day. Being too careful isn't a sin.”
”Thanks a lot Nicholson for the help. So are you ready to answer our little investigator?”
”I just hope she'll be satisfied with it as it will satisfy you for sure.”
”You seem to have found out some good information, I guess.”
”It's not something trivial.” both of them sat right next to Ania who just finished a bag of chips.
”Are we ready now?” Ania wiped off the crumbs and sits properly looking at Nicholson with a smile on her face.
”As you wish your highness.” Nicholson smiled back. ”So what do you want to know Ania?”
”Well, I was just wondering how come the shadows appears and disappears at will?”
”Actually, they follow only one master they see fit.”
”What do you mean? Is big sis Sofie that master?”
”Alright little one listen up. Before the Queen, Sofie's mother passed on the title of ruler, it all started by just a simple pact. A pact made by humans with great minds. Sofie's ancestors were the richest royals the world could ever have. Having been able to support some expensive laboratories in the old times, their wealth was totally unimaginable. Thus, the royal family wants their bloodline to continue amidst the fact that everytime the Queen gave birth, the royal family ended up only having a daughter. Which causes the late royals chaotic argument for the rightful heir in the future. They can't accept having a commoner's blood mixed up.”
