Surprise
After leaving Skylar behind, Kurai then requested his friend, Mark, to find information about that girl. "Mark, do me a favour and find everything about that girl." Mark is surprised as he never seen Kurai so interested in an opposite gender. "Of course, but I'll doubt that you'll give me the reason." Kurai smiled, "You know me too well, how long till I arrived home?" "About 5 hours, siré." Kurai frowned, "Don't call me 'siré', you dickhead." Mark laughed and Kurai closed his eyes, thinking about the girl that he just met.
-
"I swear to myself, she looks strangely familiar...But I can't figure out where I've seen her before..." Kurai was still lost in his thoughts when Mark asked, "Are you still having those dreams? I bought some sleeping pills for you since you said that those dreams kept you awake." Kurai instantly remembered and snap his fingers. "That's right, the dreams! How could I forget that?" Mark is bewildered, "Kurai?" Kurai realized that he said that out loud, "Ehem... nothing, Mark." He then closed his eyes once again and tried to remember the girl in his dreams.
-
"Siré, we've arrived. Your mother requested your presence tonight." Kurai sighs, "Fine, I'll be in my room anyways, so don't," turns around and look at his subordinates, "Disturb me." Everyone nodded and he went back to his room.
-
"Siré, I've got the information that you wanted." Mark knocked on his door and inform Kurai. "Great, come in and tell me what you've found." After making sure no one was outside his room, he closed the door and excitedly open the envelop containing Skylar's info. "Skylar Ironbound....., hmmmm..." "What's wrong, siré?" Kurai shakes his head, "Nothing." and continues reading the paper. "?! She's a mortal???" Even Mark was surprised, "What? A mortal?" "That's impossible, I am sure that I've sense some kind of faint aura in her, but a mortal? Are you sure that you got the right information?" "I am sure, siré." Kurai fall silent as he tried to think of why a mortal can get his attention.
"Siré, your presence is requested by her Grace. Please go to the living room immediately." Kurai immediately asked Mark to keep the papers safe, "Do not let anyone see it," tidied his shirt, "I'm on my way."
-
"You requested to see me, Mother?" Her Grace looked up at her beloved son, smiled as she hugged him, "No need to be so formal, my son. I'm your mother after all." Kurai smiled, "But still, you didn't requested to see me just to give me a hug, right?" Her Grace laughed and pet his shoulder. "I'm just worried about your future, son. You should get a lover soon, and I wanted a grandchild too. ;)" Kurai protested, "But mother, I can't just find someone and make her my lover, plus..." Her Grace notices something wrong, "Oh~? Did my handsome son found someone that he's interested?" Kurai blushes hard, "W-what? No! Of course not!" Her Grace was about to teased him more when...
"Surprise, Kurai!!!!!!"
