"So you are saying some Cannibals hid themselves in your village after the war ten years ago?" Pablo asked for confirmation.
"Yes. What if the Cannibals are there and they are planning something big? This white mist could be one of their ways to enact revenge from our Kingdom." Socrates said.
"That could be the case. I mean, it’s just a possibility. Maybe the white mist is because of something else entirely."
"And other than the Cannibals, what if someone else is with them as well? Someone that acts like their kind." Socrates wasn’t finished.
"And who could that be?" Pablo asked.
Socrates looked left and right and whispered :
Pablo’s brows shot up.
"Don’t be surprised. Vampires also drink blood, detective. Cannibals eat and Vampires drink. They are the same." Socrates added.
"Okay. But you also mentioned the Demon. What did he have to do with your village?"
"The Demon appeared five years ago and he wreaked havoc in Glory city. And everyone says that the military won that day. But, detective, a Demon isn’t someone who would just lose. What if the military only thought that they killed the Demon? What if he is still alive and hiding in the Village?"
"How are you so sure about that?"
"I am sure you know that the Demon was summoned here to kill the Royals but he wasn’t able to do that. So it means his job is still unfinished. And as you know, Demons can’t go back to the place where they were summoned. And they also can’t go back to Hell without finishing their job. So after getting hurt by the military, he must have gone to the closest place he could find. And the closest place from the Glory city is…"
Socrates paused and Pablo finished the next part.
Socrates moved back from Pablo.
"I leave you with that, detective. Use your brain. We’ll meet tomorrow morning."
Socrates after saying all that stuff walked away.
Now only Sera, Pablo and Pablo’s thoughts were left there.
’What do you think of his deduction?’ Cupid was also there.
’Those were not deductions, Angel. He was trying to get inside my mind. He wants me to think like that.’
’Oh. So will you let him get inside your head?’
’Of course not. It’s just I can’t totally disregard his words. What he said could be true. Cannibals, Vampires and Demon. If it turns out that they are really inside the village then it would mean…’ Pablo watched the back of the chief as he went inside his hut.
’Socrates already knew that beforehand.’
’How can you say that? Isn’t Socrates the chief of the Village? If he would have known about Cannibals staying in the Village then wouldn’t he have complained right away?’ Cupid asked.
’I don’t know. I need to investigate more. Things became more serious. I might even need the help of the King at some point.’
’That’s true. But you should know, Demons can see us Angels.’
’Thanks for the information. And I didn’t know that Demons can’t go back to the place they are summoned from. Socrates told me a nice thing. A very informative thing.’
Pablo turned around. It was Sera.
"Yes. But no touching."
"Finally." Sera crashed on the stone seat. "I was tired from all this standing and keeping quiet."
She laid on the seat.
"You will get a lot more tired in the coming days. Tomorrow we will be visiting the Village and Glory city."
"Ahgnh. Fine. I take it on myself. Just don’t go where I can’t follow you." Sera closed her eyes.
Pablo sighed and watched the sleeping Sera. ’If you follow me everywhere, death will follow you as well.’
"Andrezj, keep an eye. If anyone other than my husband comes near me, kill them." Sera wasn’t asleep yet.
But after that order, Sera didn’t say anything. She was finally asleep.
Pablo also laid on the same stone seat but he was far from Sera. He couldn’t take it easy with her. The amount of horny Sera gets, she could be found above Pablo in the morning.
Pablo shut down his thoughts for the day and closed his eyes.
And in just a few seconds, he drifted to sleep.
Cupid and Andrezj were left alone and the situation was awkward for them.
Goddess Alfida had many Angels with her and Cupid was the youngest and weakest of them while Andrezj was the eldest and strongest.
Cupid never talked to Andrezj and Andrezj didn’t bother with other Angels as well. He only listened to Goddess Alfida and now Sera as well.
Cupid sat beside Pablo, averting her eyes from Andrezj.
Andrezj was behind her.
"Are you his Guardian Angel?" Andrezj spoke and Cupid jerked her head around.
"You talked to me?" Cupid asked with wide eyes.
"Is there anyone else here?"
Andrezj was a strict Angel and other than Sera and Goddess Alfida, he changed for no one.
"Answer the question. Are you his Guardian Angel?"
Cupid frowned. "You don’t know who he is?"
"Was I supposed to know that?"
"Yes. I mean, the Gods must have told you."
"They told me nothing. I have been here for a few years now. No one contacted me."
"That’s strange. If the Gods didn’t tell you then I think they didn’t want to tell you. I will keep quiet as well. I don’t want any problems." Cupid won’t share something if even the Gods didn’t share it.
"Tch. I will ask them myself then."
"Yes. That will be best."
"So you are not his Guardian Angel? At least say yes or no, dammit."
"Y-yes. No. No. I am not his Guardian Angel. Goddess Alfida sent me here. I am not supposed to help him at all. We are not like you and Sera." Cupid flinched by the sudden shout of Andrezj.
"You don’t get to call her Sera."
"Sorry." Cupid could only apologize. Andrezj has become a simp.
"I will talk with you after clearing things up with the Gods tomorrow. Be ready." Andrezj said and went silent. He didn’t speak after that.
Cupid just gave a nod and shut her mouth as well.
Like that, the night continued…
’I am incapable of love. Don’t do this.’
’I will teach you. I love you so much.’
’I am a criminal. I don’t deserve such things.’
’Even Devils wish for love, Pablo. You have suffered enough. Rest with me.’
’Yes. Let’s get married.’
’I am sorry, Pablo. I lied to you.’
’I don’t love you. I am an Agent sent to kill you.’
’What? But I loved you! I love you!’
’I lied, Pablo. You were right. You don’t deserve any love.’
’Target found! Kill himmm!’
’Kill Pablo Castilloooo!!’
"I will burn you allllll!!!"
Like that, after five hours of sleep, Pablo woke up with a scream.
