“Good morning, sir!”
Two maids greet as I walk past them in the living room, I simply nod with a smile.
“Good morning, ladies!” I wink at them and they start giggling.
I shake my head and roll my eyes, females.
But don’t get me wrong, I’m not a playboy, I just love fooling around sometimes.
I frown when I see Ian and Brandon rushed into the living room, Ian’s ever serious expression on.
“Good morning, brother!” I greet him.
“Morning!” He simply replies and made to hurry past me.
I ran in front of him and stopped him.
“Where are you rushing off to with your night robe on?”
“Dungeon!”
“Dungeon?!”
He nods.
“Brandon said something happened”
I turn to Brandon with a frown.
“What happened?”
“It’s about Miss Macfarlane’s maid”
“The maid?!”
He nods.
“I’m going to check it out,,,, are you coming?” Ian asked.
I nod, but quickly shake my head when I remember Aurora.
“Why? You usually like stuffs like this!” Ian said.
“Aurora, she should know about this too”
“Who is Aurora?!” He asked.
“The doctor, she’s involved in the case too, so she should know”
Ian narrow his eyes at me.
“Stay away from that doctor!”
“Why?”
“Ah,,,,,,,,” he trails off.
I arch my eyebrows.
“Ah,,,,,,,,,what?”
“She is bad news!”
I roll my eyes.
“Everyone is bad news to you, Ian”
“Whatever,,,,, do as you please!” Then he rushes off.
I take long strides towards Aurora’s room.
I stop at her room and knock on her door.
“Aurora!”
No response.
“Aurora?!”
Still no response.
I push the door open and step in. I look at her bed, it’s empty.
“Aurora!”
Still no response. Where did she go this morning?
I sigh.
I guess I’ll have to visit the dungeon alone. I step out of her room and shut the door, I turn and see her coming with,,,,,,,, Ian’s bedsheets?
She’s murmuring some coherent words that I can hardly comprehend to herself.
“Aurora!” I call her.
She raises her and look at me with her big round eyes, my eyes settled on her pouty pink lips.
“Why are you holding Ian’s bedsheets?”
She scoffs and throws them on the floor and starts stomping on it.
“I hate your brother! I hate him! I hate him!,,,,, Argggg!”
I chuckle and hold her still.
“What happened?”
“Your brother made me give him a massage last night, this morning he wants me to wash his bedsheets,,,,, and ask me what the worse part is”
“What?”
“He wants me to throw it away after washing it!”
I frown.
“Why does he want you to throw it away?”
Her cheeks suddenly turns red, she starts playing with a lock of her hair and chuckling nervously.
“Well,,,,, I,, I kinda,,, you know,,,”
“I don’t know, tell me”
“Ihadmydroolonit!” She said quickly.
I blink rapidly when I couldn’t get what she said.
“Can you say it slowly?”
“I,,, I had my drool on it, buy it’s not my fault though,,,, I got tired and I didn’t know when I fell asleep!”
I laughed lightly and nod.
“Now I get it, Ian is a neat freak and having your drool on his sheets is the last thing he wants,,,, but don’t worry, you don’t have to throw it away”
“Really?”
“Yeah, Ian doesn’t want it, but I do. I’ll use it”
“Great! I will give it to you after I wash it” she said.
“But before then, let’s go to the dungeon”
“Why? I just woke up,,,, your arrogant brother just kick me out of my fairytale land!” She said, exaggerating a little bit.
“Something happened and it’s about Miss Macfarlane’s maid”
She frowns, before realization flashes through her eyes.
“No wonder he left in a hurry!” She mumbled under her breath.
“So,,, let’s get moving”
“Ok,,,but,,,,”
She looks at the sheets on the floor.
“Keep them in your room for now”
“Ok”

We arrive at the dungeon, the General is already there with Brandon.
They stood almost ten feet away from Miss Macfarlane’s maid, she sat on the floor vomiting blood.
“What happened here?” I asked before I could stop myself.
“The guards reported she has been like this since this early morning” Brandon said.
“I told you to dispatch four guards here, Brandon!” The General state.
“Yes, I did General”
“Where are they?”
Four guards quickly come in, their heads bowed, their bodies shaking in fear I guess.
“We are here, General” they report chorusly.
“Can someone explain how this happened?”
“W-we,,,, we don’t,,, know, General”
“You don’t know?!” The General narrow his eyes. “Let me guess, none of you were here when this happened, right?!”
None of them said a word, they look lost rather, lost and scared.
The General shakes his head.
“I will take care of you later” he told them.
Then he turns to me.
“Doctor!”
“Yes?”
“Check what happened to her!” He commands.
I nod, but quickly stopped when I realized what he asked me to do. I’m not a real doctor, I can tell she was p©isoned, but what p©ison it is I definitely can’t tell.
“I,,,, she,,,”
How can I escape from this,,,, I’m gonna get exposed,,,, no, no, no,,,,, miracle must happen.
At that moment, my life saver, Javier speaks up.
“Ian, there’s no need to bother doctor Aurora with this, she obviously ate some p©ison!”
The maid starts coughing non-stop, coughing and vomiting. Suddenly bl©©d start coming from her nose and ears.
Then it occurred to me, she’s with Miss Macfarlane and she delivered the food, she must know something.
I rushed forward and grab her shoulder. Javier tries to pull me away, but I didn’t let him.
“Aurora, what are you doing? Get up”
“She knows something,,, if she dies we won’t find the real murderer!” I said.
The maid’s eyes open weakly.
“T-they,,,” coughs. “T-they,,, killed her” continue coughing.
“They killed her?” I asked and she nods but didn’t stop coughing.
“Who are they?” The General asked.
“H-he se,,, sent people,,,” she grabs my hand and pulls me closer to her ear. “He killed your parents too” she whispers slowly.
I look at her in surprise, how does she knows I’m here to look for my parents murderer.
And more importantly, who is the he?
“Can you tell us who he is?” Javier asked.
She start coughing again but shakes her head in denial.
Then a question pop in my mind.
“Miss Wasn’t sick, why did she pretends to be?”
She points at the General.
“Him” she mutters.
I frown.
“Him?” She nods. “How?”
“The-General-barely-visit-her-she-wanted-to-get-his-attention” she manage to squeeze out as she clung on her stomach tightly.
Now I understand why she was lying about her health,,,, she wanted the General to visit her.
I can’t imagine getting engaged to this cold-blooded animal,,,, oops sorry,,,, cold-hearted human.
Because even though she lied about her health, this stone heart still didn’t visit her,,,, he just sends doctors over, he doesn’t care at all.
I feel something drop from my hand and I hear a soft thud, I look down and noticed it’s the maid. I bend down and listen to her heartbeat, it’s gone.
She’s dead.
I stand up and step away from her body.
“She’s dead!” I announced.
“Now that she’s dead, how can we find the real killer? She didn’t give us any useful information” Brandon said.
The General’s eyes settled on me,,, I involuntarily hide behind Javier,,,, please don’t let it be what I’m thinking.
“We’ll detain her until we find the murderer!” He said.
“No!” I blunt out. “The maid just made it clear, I have nothing to do with Miss Macfarlane’s death”
“She is right, Ian, she is innocent” Javier adds.
The General stays silent for a moment, clenching and unclenching his fists.
“Fine! You can get out of my mansion now!” He gritted out.
Leave? No, I can’t leave,,,I have found my parents murderer,,,, I must find a way to make him let me say.
“No, General!” Brandon objects.
We turn our gaze to him, he step closer to the General and whisper something in his ear.
The General grind his teeth against each other before he speaks.
“Until we find the person behind all these,,,, you will stay in the mansion!”
I almost jump in joy,,,, maybe by then I’d have completed my mission.
“She will stay in the mansion?” Javier ask, his voice sounds kinda,,,,happy?, I guess.
“Yes!” The General replies.
“W-what is she gonna do here?”
“She will be my personal doctor!”
His personal doctor? Oh no! That is what will get me killed.
The General turns to me.
“You’ll receive $2000 as monthly payment” he told me.
My eyes grows wide,,,,, $2000 that a whole lotta money.
I’m gonna be rich, I’m so gonna be rich.
“Yes! Yes! I will stay!”
Just then, a guard comes in.
“General, the mayor has heard about Miss Macfarlane’s death, he sent someone over!” He reports.
The General and Javier exchange looks and nod at each other.
“Brandon, have some guards take care of this mess!” He orders Brandon and turns to leave.
“Wait!” I hold his arm.
He looks at me with a deep frown.
“What?!” He growls.
“Aren’t you gonna give her a normal burial?”
“No!”
“Why?”
“None of your business!” He snatch his arm from me.
“Let’s go!” He said to the guard and they left.
Javier throws his arm around my shoulders, he turns my face to himself.
“Don’t worry, he was just joking. Brandon will have some guards bury her!” He said.
“That was a joke?”
“Yeah,,,,,maybe,,,,,it should be,,,,I guess”
“Your brother sure knows how to tell a joke”
I stare at the maid’s body and nod.
“Now, what should we do next?” He asked.
“How about we wash the sheets together?” I suggest.
“That’s a great idea, let’s go!”
We walk out of the dungeon and head towards my room.
“I have never seen your brother laugh or smile, why?”
“I don’t know, maybe nothing amuses him”
I huffed.
“Don’t worry, he’s my special patient now, I will make him laugh sooner or later”
He looks at me as if I’m speaking the impossible.
“I bet you can’t, nothing ever makes him laugh, I’ve tried. He rarely smile at me, so don’t think you’ll see his teeth”
“I’ll take this as I challenge”
“Oh? Then what if you lose?”
I put my forefinger under my chin and did a little thinking.
“You can do whatever you please to me”
He smirks.
“Fine, it’s a deal”
I stretched out my hand and we shook hands.
“It’s a deal!” I said.
“I wish you luck then!”
General! General!
It’s me and you in this mansion,,,,hehehehe!
