"I have to find him quickly before who ever's behind this gets to him!", Miguel replied.
"Too late", Mercury replied sounding sober.
"What?! What do you mean too late?!", Miguel asked shocked at Mercury's response.
He knew that Mercury was a smart man and expected that he would advice him on how to go about this, but he never expected that Mercury would give such a reply.
"But Mercury, can't you see that master Xenguy didn't tell us everything? All this appears arranged......", As soon as he uttered that sentence, he paused and looked at Mercury with a facial expression of realization.
"It's not what you think Miguel, Xenguy is dead!", Mercury spoke while Miguel walked back nodding his head.
When the guard standing by heard this, he spoke up immediately: "My Lord, this man is responsible for Xenguy's death, that's why he's in here!"
When Miguel heard this, tears fued up in his eyes.
"I've been wondering what you must have done that made my father put you his most trusted advisor in cell. If it were me, I would have had you killed immediately.", Miguel said and walked away.
"My Lord, if you still need it, I know master Xenguy's residence, the house he livedd before his death. There might be some clues there!", The guard adviced.
When Miguel heard this, he felt a new glimpse of hope.
"Get on her!", Miguel said pointing at his horse.
The guard stood there confused, he never imagined that Lord Miguel would ask him to do such a thing.
"My Lord....", He stuttered
"What is your name?", Miguel asked as he thought about how ugly things would have turned out of the guard acted stupidly and refused to cooperate with him. He probably would have raised an alarm and let his brother know that he was around; that truly would have been terrible. But the guard cooperated with him and now had even offered to take him to Xenguy's house and giving some other smart suggestions since he met him. Respecting him regardless of the statement on his head.
For this, Miguel found himself trusting and respecting this guard.
"What's your name mister?!", Miguel asked again.
"Clark My Lord!", He replied.
"Get on the horse Clark!", Miguel spoke authoritatively as he placed a hand on Clarks back.
Clark hesitantly hopped on the horse and Miguel sat behind.
"Hope you've ridden one of these before?!", He asked.
"Yes My Lord, I can ride a horse!", Clark replied shaking.
"Go ahead then and stop acting like I am an electric eel!", Miguel added.
……
Just as they left, Luca got back to the Apical Chamber he went straight to one of the guards he saw.
"Was Miguel here?!", He asked the first guard he saw.
"Yes My Lord!", They replied.
When he heard this, his heart thumped. Even though he suspected this, hearing it still came to him as a shock.
"Where's he now?", He asked .
"He went out with a guard!", He replied.
"Went out with a guard?! What part of banish don't you guys understand?!", Luca asked tightening his fist.
"... My... Lord... It's not yet 48hours!", The guard replied.
"If another word comes out of you again, I'll have your head cut off!", Luca spoke in anger.
"Do you have a wife, a fiance or a girlfriend?!", Luca asked.
The guard looked at him and was unsure if to give a replying having heard what Luca said about another word coming out of his mouth.
"Do you?!", Luca asked more aggressively.
"....No My Lord", he replied shaking.
"That's why you speak the way you do!", Luca said and walked away.
……
"This is it my Lord!", Clark replied and Miguel immediately jumped down from the horse.
Just as he was looking at the house and observing it he heard some screaming.
"Claire, Claire please don't!!!", They heard screams coming from the back of the house.
Miguel quickly rushed to the back of the house while Clark who was still on the horse followed.
"What's wrong?!", Miguel ask the woman who knelt on the floor shaking her daughter on the ground.
"She's been sick!", She cried.
"What's it going on today?!", He muttered and knelt down placing his hand on her and began to dispense healing energy.
The girl's shaking only reduced but she was still shaking. Miguel was obviously not strong enough to heal her.
Suddenly the light increased.
Miguel himself was shocked to feel the increase in energy, when he opened his eye he saw....
