Where is the peace (12)

Miran wanted to call over to Klein who was currently was with the group of soldier, but then he remembered that they were looking for him and as his room mate Klein would surely recognize him once he called out.

He topped and then looked at Shina who shook her head a bit, "Young master, please sleep for a bit.."

Shina patted Miran head gently and then wink at him. Miran laid down on Shina lap and then he buried his face as a way to hide his face. He would not want to cause trouble for Shina and Ryan since those soldiers did not look friendly at all, who knows what the would do to them once they got him.

"Thank you Young Master." Shina whispered and the smile with a relieved sigh.

It was not long after, Miran heard the soldier ordered them to come to the shore. Ryan showed a confused expression and also mixed with a somewhat stupid and blank expression as if he does not understand why the soldiers called them over.

But Ryan still responded by shouting back to them with an "Ok", he keep the fishing road, then row the boat toward the shore. He looked rather clumsy as the boat was very shakey as it moved.

The soldier stood straight and watches as the boat came closer and closer,and when the boat finally reached the shore, the soldier asked them to come down and let them check the boat.

Obdiently they come down, and as Miran was sleeping, Ryan carried him after he get off, and the soldier helped shina to get off the boat. They then went to the boat and check it, and seeing that there were no other hidden space, they reported to the captain.

The one at the foremost frowned and then looked at Klein, Klein shook his head as saying that he does not know where else would Miran go to if not through this route.

Huffed with an unsatisfied expression, the captain turned around to leave, but he paused and looked at the sleeping girl that Ryan was holding. He walked to Ryan and then pulled Miran chin to make him turn toward him.

Miran frowned a little bit and then puckered his lip, showing that he dislike of people bothering him sleep.

"Sir, why so suddenly, my daughter does not like people to wake her up... She might cried and throw tantriums if she was forcefully woken up..." Ryan backed away and then gently rubbed Miran hair to calm him down. "Linda, its okay, papa is here"

"Un..." Miran make a small sound and then he move and face his face to Ryan chest and then continued to sleep, as if he was truly relaxed after Ryan said that.

"Whew..." Ryan sighed with a glad expression and then looked at the captain, waiting for his answer to the sudden action.

"I was required to make a check up on children, and since she was not the person, I'll apologize for my rude behavior just now." The captain bowed a bit and then e finally walked away with the soldiers.

Klein stared at Miran, and it was quite intense that make Miran to feel somehow chill, it make Miran wonder if Klein recognize him or not. But it seemed that he did not, when he also turn and leave them.

They waited for a long while, while Ryan took out the fishing rod from the boat and then sit down to continue fishing. This was after he gave Miran to Shina not long after those soldier leave.

"Is it ok now?" Miran whispered.

"No, I can feel that they were still watching us..." Ryan muttered, and Shina just humming and then sang a lullaby to make miran sleep better, they were still keeping the act.

"Oh, then wake me up when its all okay then." Miran yawned a bit as he actually starting to feel sleepy. Dozing off, he soon fall into the dreamland. As for Ran, he popped out from the lake and blinked his eyes when he saw Miran now sleeping for real.

He swam around as he watched the three of them, looked as if they were a real family, having a small hangout at this lake. He hummed and then went back to dive into the lake to go see the interesting things in there.

-----

Klein and the captain, the two of them were hiding behind a thick bush, and they were still at the lake, watching this family of three.

"Lieutenant, are you sure that girl is that boy?" The captain whispered while he still looked at them, to his eyes, that plain ordinary girl looked like a weak girl who was pampered by her two loving parents. She did not look like a young boy at all.

"Yes, I'm sure." Klein nodded his head and stare more, his eyes glinted with interest as he watched these three.

"I hope were are not wasting our time." The captain glanced at Klein and then shook his head.

"If Captain have other things to do, Captain can go back first. I, Klein of the 1st lieutenant, will make sure that I will be bringing the boy back to the palace." Klein said with a serious expression, as he put his hand on his left chest as to show that he will commit and complete this task.

"Fine, then you can follow them until you are able to bring him back. The king is waiting, and there are a few more children that I need to pick up."

"Yes Sir." Klein salute and then the captain left him.

By this time, since it was already lunch time, and Ryan who actually managed to get a bunch of fish, started to roast them on a a wooden stick after he done light up some fire.

Shina took out some seasoning bottles and give them to Ryan and let him handle the food for this time. She put Miran head on the ground gently, and went to find some big leaves to be used as the fish plate for when they will eat.

Frowned, Klein stomach grumbled as the scent of the roasted fish. He could only hold his hunger as he watch them.
