C273: Tension

Phy got summoned by his step mother. Her features were of an angel but her actions and motive are the exact opposite of how she looks. Phy stood straight and waited for the woman with wavy blue hair to advance toward his location. When her scarlet gaze met his Phy diverted his eyes and bowed his head.

"You called for me, mother." Phy politely inquired.

"Ah yes, I want you to bath me. Your father left for his meeting." The woman invited.

"I am sorry but I have to decline. As of the moment, I am your son and it's a disgrace if it ever reach the crowds ear." Phy formally explained.

The woman clicked her tongue and whispered.

"If you know those kind of things then isn't that it's improper as well to disobey and talk back to your mother."

Phy felt her icy voice. Her hands reach out to his chest. Instead of getting excited, His flesh shivered for pain.

"Yes, but as your son, since your my father's wife. It's wrong to obey what you desires." Phy couragesly replied.

The woman removed her ring and drop her robe and spoke

"I have removed the proof that I am married to your father."

"That ring is not a proof. It's a symbol. Even if you remove it the meaning it bear does not change. Please excuse me." Phy muttured.

After Kish lead out the prayer. The ribbon cutting got push through. Fur kept on checking the sidelines if Phy would show up.

The whole gang already spread out and monitored the whole area. Ain cut the space as he trailed Phy's household. It was too late for him to escape when the woman suddenly appeared. Ole and Nimrod studied most of the sculpture.

Sycamore, Cherith and Urchin intruded the house while it's empty. They entered the same room where they ventured with Ain but found it empty. They recieved the news that Fur is worried since he cannot spot Phy at the venue. Sycamore stumbled on the bathroom and found Phy's garment. When Urchin and Cherith saw the sign.They started to examined the whole area when a unexpected person entered the room.

Sycamore, Urchin and Cherith dive in to the bath tub. The maid came in to pick up the garments and left the place. Not long aftera clone of that maid surrounded the boys.

Sycamore summoned his leaf, Urchin took the second hand of the clock. Cherith picked up a feather. The womed summoned their swords and started to attack them.

Fur started to walk around and dialed Phy's number but he got nothing. His veins started to transport with a weary and earful flow.

Fur bowed his head toward Phy's father who is with the woman whose facade is of an angel.

"Hello sir, I am glad to see you here." Fur greeted .

The old man just returned his greetings. Fur can't help but ask.

"I would like to know if Phy will be able to make it." Fur asked.

The woman spoke and said with her lips hidden with an elegant fan.

" Ah, he said that he will be going somewhere but he did not inform us where."

Fur directly and corrected scanned the woman's facade.

"Phy, never leave without saying anything."

"How sure are you?" The woman stated.

"It's just that he texted me yesterday. And he definitely confirmed that he will surely come." Fur delivered with indignation making the crowds to eye them.

The woman got flustered and said.

"I don't know..."

"Then why did you reply ma'am when I am not talking to you." Fur pointed.

The people started whispering and murmuring.

Ole called on Fur which made the discussion halted. Fur excused himself and uttured.

"I know what you can do.I hope that you know what can Phy also do."

Fur attended Ole's call and the seven year old girl drag her to what she found.

"This sculpture are what Agsus said. They are real people but was plated with mud and cement. Here, Someone is knocking." Ole pointed at the old man's statue as a faint knock is heared from his side.

Sycamore threw his leaf and cleared out the path. The clones of maid vanished like a smoke after getting pierced. Urchin swing his weapon and was able to clear out the mist. Cherith used his feather to clear the approaching battalion of maids leaving the area all cleared. Their body started to register when the water soaked their skin.

"We need to get out of here." Urchin commanded.

Cherith spread his wings and flew away from the mansion.

The woman gnashed her teeth and entered her sanctuary. She lifted her bed and went down to her secret base. Phy cough from the sudden water splashed in his face.

"Your friend just disgraced me!" The woman fiercely yelled.

Phy chuckled as the chain ring with his movement and commented.

"Good for you."

The woman glared at Phy and had her nails scrape his bare chest. Phy groan from the pain as the blood drip downward.

"This is for talking back. And for the next events are your punishment. Keep being disobedient and I will surely toy with you till you beg me to death." The woman hummed.

Phy maintained the eye contact.

"I won't beg. Even if eat me alive."

The woman slappes him in the face. She started to grapple Phy's neck with her hand and lift him on the wall. His back got in contact with the cold and rough wall.

"Really, then I might as well enjoy myself. If you think I am not aware about your hooks up. I can smell it from you. Your not that different from every men in this period!" She scoffed as she mocked Phy.

Fur reached home as he waited for Urchin's report. His senses kept getting anxious. Urchin reported how they spotted Phy's garment but did not find him. Fur's agitated concern got confirm when Agsus alarmed them about the last clip surrendered by Cherith.
