Luci's Investigation

Spider was too weak to resist his fear if only Luci would leave him.

And the fear grew, even more, when Luci was silent instead of answering Spider's questions related to The Crown just now. Not everyone could know The Crown, you could even say that only insiders know the word. But how did Luci know? Had Luci been in the same world as Spider all this time?

But if so, who was Luci?

'No. Whoever you are, you still can't leave me, Bee. No matter what happens you can't leave me. I won't let you go.' Spider said in his own heart with a power he got from his subconscious.

Even Spider was very ready if it turned out that Luci was on the other side. Spider would snatch Luci from the circle that housed her Here Luci only belonged to Spider, and no one would be able to argue with that.

Meanwhile, doubts began to appear in Luci's heart.

At first, Luci, who wanted to put her trust in Spider, had almost changed her decision. Luci felt that something was wrong with Spider. And Luci felt she shouldn't know more about Spider.

Even if necessary, Luci must immediately stay away from Spider, regardless of whether Spider was Luci's former adoptive family or not. Because the existence of Spider seemed to only endanger Hans' life in the future. Never know why Luci's hunch said that.

"Why didn't you answer me?" Spider asked again. His heart was always filled with anxiety about Luci. Especially when he saw Luci's face as if she wanted to get as far away from him as possible. Spider wouldn't be able to part with Luci again, and he would never be able to.

"Oh, it's okay." Luci moved awkwardly while looking for an opening or a way to escape. But then she thought back. It seemed like now wasn't the right time to run away because Hans was still in the treatment room. It could be that Hans was kidnapped again, and the kidnapper was Spider. Luci shuddered at the thought of it.

"How did you know about The Crown? Where did you hear that word from?" Spider increasingly showed the suspicious side in him. He even only focused on Luci, focused on Luci's face which would never be the same as before, when Spider and Luci were small when the two of them could never be separated.

The hospital was starting to fill up with people. But those people preferred to get out of the way when they saw the figure of Spider. People preferred to find another way. The lights had been turned off, and the coolness of the place was starting to show. Starting from a very green garden also the placement of various potted plants in several corners.

Luci was confused looking for an excuse. And Luci was also confused to place himself. Since everyone in the hospital was now looking and whispering towards Luci, maybe Spider to be more precise. The more often Luci saw people pointing at them, the deeper the unrest in her heart would deepen.

Luci felt as if she had done something wrong. It was also wrong for her to attract attention. Luci must remain hidden to secure her identity as a jockey who worked to disguise herself as the lover of her clients.

People should rarely see the appearance of Luci's face, especially this time when she was in the hospital because she visited a child who was very sick. Luci didn't want it to be used by some of his clients who still hold a grudge against Luci, such as Mr. Philip who seemed to have been released from prison two weeks ago.

Maybe Luci was running around the hospital a lot, but not with as much attention from people as this morning.

"I found out from a man you ordered to take care of me when you were on business," explained Luci, who in the end chose to tell the truth. For Luci, it would probably be easier to avoid trouble if she told the truth. Because after all Luci still didn't understand what problems she was currently facing, especially regarding Spiders that Luci met in the Evil Fort in the early hours of the morning. That's a bit weird right?

Moreover, Spider seemed to have power in that place and also in this hospital. Meanwhile, Hans had been kidnapped from this place to be brought to the Evil Fort. The point was that Luci just wanted to be careful and at the same time wanted to avoid trouble.

"You know about Diamond from him too?" asked Spider with his inward-looking eyes now very focused on combing Luci.

Luci was a girl who looked like a princess from a land. However, because the country was destroyed, Luci had to be exiled. And in exile, Luci had fought with the cruelty of the world that required Luci to be mighty just to survive. But even so, the aura of Luci as a princess would still be attached to her face and body.

To Spider, maybe now Luci looked more masculine and tomboyish, instead of the soft and cheerful Luci when she was a child. But still, Luci would look like Luci in Spider's eyes. Even she could recognize Luci's face at a glance. Didn't that already prove all that?

"Yeah, I found out about Diamond from him too." Luci nodded. She hoped that the decision to tell the truth that she chose at this time was the right decision.

"What did he say about Diamond and The Crown?" Spider did speak softly, but his tone was already different and Luci could recognize it.

If previously Spider would have spoken as if the Spider was blooming then not this time. Spiders were suspicious, offended, panicked, worried, and wary. His bulging eyes almost widened, his thick eyebrows almost dipped because he was so focused on paying attention to Luci. And his lips were like a straight line across the land of the equator. And that's pretty awful.

"Nothing because you came in such a hurry," said Luci as calmly as possible. Countless times she inhaled and exhaled nervously. Even talking to Spider about Diamond and The Crown could make Luci panic more than having to pretend to be a rich lord's lover in front of his psychopathic lover.

"Are you sure?" Spider still didn't want to believe Luci even though Luci was telling the truth.

The man who was assigned by Spider to look after Luci while Spider entered the building called the Center didn't say anything, maybe to be honest he didn't want to say anything else. After all, Luci didn't want to know at that time either. Then a few moments later Spider came to tell the man to leave. That's just the story, nothing more.

"I'm sure. And the man did not continue his questions and words. I think it's because I asked him not to ask again." Luci clarified the story a little. At first, Luci remembered the version of the story that the man who was sent by Spider did not speak when Spider came. But after remembering it, it turned out that the man ordered by Spider had stopped talking because Luci had begged him. After all, at that time Luci only wanted to pay attention to Hans.

"What? Did he ask you? What do you mean?" Spider asked in a rising voice, one thing Spider had never done to Luci at this time.
