Chapter 17: THE KILLER?

One day at the palace Elli was just casually studying in her room, and then...

*Knock Knock*

"Sister, may I enter?" claimed Bella.

"Yes, go on." What's wrong?"

"Well, I don't want to say this but..."

"But what?"

"I think I know the KILLER!"

Elli: *shocked* "What! "You THINK you know who it is?"

"Yeah, you know when I walked to the restroom to meet you."

"Yeah, that time when I was talking to someone. (Someone is referred to as Joanna; see Chapter 9)."

"Yeah, she made a smirk at me."

"And because she smirked at you, that means she is the killer." Or are you afraid of something and therefore trying to frame someone else?"

Like Joanna said, I should be careful of my surroundings. I cannot trust her, even if she is my sister. But she is still suspicious. But I can't also leap to conclusions like this. Let me trust Joanna about it, or should I ask Adam to help me? (Don't forget Adam was a police agent before.) "Yeah, let's ask him."

Elli left the place to meet Adam at a restaurant.

Adam: "My dear Queen, are you taking the initiative to take me on a date?"

"Yes and no, I need your help."

"You want me to find the killer?"

"Yeah... "Wait, how did you know I was about to ask that?"

"Darling, I know you way too well." *sipping some coffee*

Elli: "Don't tell me you are stalking me."

"Yes, I am."

"Well, that was honest."

"But I do it for your safety."

"You know, since I met you at the restaurant, I've kept an eye on you, but also because your dear sister and Edmon seem kind of odd to me."

"It's just a hunch I've had since I met Bella after a while," Adam explained.

"Well, it's true they both seem odd, but we cannot jump to conclusions."

"That's true, but be CAREFUL, please, darling."

"I will; I have you by my side, RIGHT?"

"Agent Adam is available 24 hours a day, every day."

"I kind of like that service."

They laughed and had a beautiful night together.
