Chap 5
"What have I done." Philomela said groaning as she flopped to her bed, all while hugging her pillow. "The conversation was going great until that stupid old man started it."
Nana on the otherhand was stepping inside Philomela’s room, "Now, now it is time for dinner, Princess." Nana said as she place the tray on the coffee table.
"I could have just said that I have to go home and all, but no, I agreed thanks stupid ego." Philomela whined as she repeatedly hits her head with her hand.
"Stop doing that, Princess you could hurt yourself" Nana said holding Philomela’s hand.
Philomela whines as she covers her face in Nana’s hand.
"Want me to feed you, Princess?"
"Yes please"
**The next day**

One the organization was Heukranghoe, two they sell illegal drug, weapons, illegal gambling, money laundering and was involved in kidnapping, three their leader is unknown, but some said that they were 21 years old, they were seen in some crime scenes.

"This is so hard!! And with so limited evidences" She groaned, why did I even agreed to this.

"Now the Princess shall have Nana’s famous hot chocolate to cool that big of a brain" As she places the hot mug next to Philomela.

"Thank you, Nana!! You are the only one who understood me!!" She drinks the hot chocolate.

Then a mysterious call arrives, she accepted it and a voice from another line was in place.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwNByNN02x
"Why, if it isn't the Duchess of Beaufort, must I say you look rather stunning" the other line said.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70NNfHvKPa
"H-how did you get my number or whoever you are?." She said.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53SsSxpv2d
"Let's say I have connections." The otherline said.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3rmEoq2JR
Philomela was speechless about this information, she should be very careful this time now.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRDgsLFYQK
"If you have been keeping up with the news, you must note that I don't take threats lightly" Philomela said challenging the other line.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEEQqDvMFx
From what sound like the other side, was chuckling, confused who would be laughing in a serious situation?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48dw4lsLqv
"Threats?" the otherline said amused. "Oh no, I’m not threatening you. But if I did watch the news…" they paused, as if savoring the moment. "I’d prefer a much closer view."
"A what?" Philomela said as if she was not hearing it right.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uiGqikJqH
"What did you just say?" Speechless She asked again.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpByTiOUXyf
She could feel the otherline smirked
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FLDQx4YEI
"I said I would love to pay for a closer view and maybe some behind the scenes."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgCS7Mdaih
Philomela was speechless
"Why would I-" She gets cut off
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dixBbNdV6
"And also I would love to see you very soon, good bye, darling♡
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7m8QPun6U
Her phone drops to the ground
"What the hell is going on?!"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEE2yIq9oR
Philomela paced the room, her mind spinning. Her face was warm—from frustration.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxOKNeFaZE
That person. That infuriating human.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOTTgruCdw
Just as she was about to take a deep breath, her phone rang again. She hesitated, fingers tightening around the device. Was it them again?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPwmGe8XNj
She glanced at the screen. No.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmn2drR1T5
It was the old official—the very man who dragged her into this mess.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaevqCMium
Sighing, she answered. "Good evening, Sir."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuOOboH4tv
"Good evening to you too," his voice was steady, unreadable. "So… have you found any clues yet?"
Philomela paused. Her mind flashed back to the call earlier. The way that woman’s voice curled around her words. The way she cut the call off before Philomela could even think straight.
She exhaled. Keep it professional.
"Well… I have their phone number," she admitted, choosing her words carefully. "And she did say we’d be seeing each other again soon—"
"That’s good to hear. When, in particular?"
Philomela frowned. "They were being cryptic throughout the conversation," she said flatly. I could never tell him what she actually said.
"Good, good," the official mused, clearly pleased. "Duchess, I’ll keep calling for updates. You’ll report anything new directly to me."
"Of course, Sir."
The call ended.
Philomela let out a breath, staring at her phone.
"I’ll be seeing you very soon, darling♡."
She clenched her jaw.
Damn
