Mysterious Enemies

To dole out the suspicions and find out if its reliable so George suggested to help upkeep the level of recording and shred right away the traceability and involvement of the suspect/s.

"Baldur! go up here immediately upstairs! let's begin now!" Abrecht called out.

"Wait a second." Baldur replied.

Magee was beside George and seemingly her thoughts spun and jammed off inside while staring to nothingness.

"Mag, you're too silent." George was looking at her with a quick twist of his neck that echoingly pricked in a second.

" Oh my God! you startled me with that sound!" She smiled while the brothers just joined them bringing a small table.

They started the meeting on top of the rough encounter earlier at the mass grave but each were eager to find out the truth. Majority chose to settle in that room fronting the balcony - and Baldur started to open the command's journal to evidently show the traces.

" C'mon George! they aren't going to wait this long, I guess we have to really start now, I'm entirely curious on how things get along well with 'amok' and poisoning.

George shrugged his shoulders.

" I feel like there's another person or group that's may be around us. That person or group behind this poisoning put it to selective food probably after the wedding and during the setting of 'tuba' on the banquet." George suspected.

" The poison were not distributed to you George, and so with my brothers, saving all that's connected to me. The culprit wants me to involve me as primary suspect. Consequently, that person or group had a deep grudge against me and its highly possible. To recall, that night during the incident after I left you and got back to the area, I saw a person's silhouette at the banquet but its suddenly lost out of sight." Magee recounted.

It seems both ideas were possible so Baldur tried to crosscheck the journal as per data collected.

"Here's the breakdown among the victims of mass killing. All in all we have 102 deaths, 55 were wounded; 47 don't have stabs but notiçeably vomited. Yes, 12 victims both have wounds and pitifully vomited some blood." Baldur said.

" It looks like we have mysterious enemies inside, huh!" Albrecht commented and at the same time feeling groggy.

" We have to call up Elias and study his reports if it still matches with the latter. George then sighed considering Magee's safety.

" Magee, you must be extra careful starting today. I think this has a connection to Hakanori. We'll also need to use the connection of Elias to find it out. George, we'll give Elias some rewards and start to give him one gold bar and become our ear and eye." Suggested by Baldur.

" That's a good idea brother." George smiled.

" Is that reward too big for his sympathy over our family, but if I were Elias the Messenger, I'll take the challenge. But Mag's at risk here, I'm afraid to send you back to the waterfalls, there were a few from this command who knew that place already. That last cave is our safest." Albrecht bowed down his head.

" Yeah. We'll continue to hide pirate Buccaneer as our secret."

" Here, I have a suggestion. Within 24 hours I know that mysterious enemy or enemies would attack us. Just a gut feeling. Some knew that I was sleeping outside Magee's room so we have to reverse things first. Albrecht will sleep on Magee's bed, Baldur will stay at the long wooden chair outside Magee's room while Magee will occupy that wooden floor in between the bed and the door."

" I haven't heard of your name in that scene? I had a hunch you'll sleep beside her." Everyone laughed and Magee pinched Albrecht's hand.

" He isn't done talking yet, try to patiently listen." She spoke huskily.

"Aw! okay, George, go on."

" I will sit down the whole night at the corner nearby the window. No one should try messing us, otherwise, I'll gonna lose them. Its something that shouldn't happen. Okay, so that's the process then we'll do this within seven days.

" George, I've heard they thought your wife is pregnant, since I will sleep as the wife on bef maybe I need to put something on my tummy so that it would appear bigger." Albrecht looked at them seriously.

" Hmm, that's a good point, we'll set it that way." George smiled.

"Ow, brother, your smile is contagious. It seems you really wanted your wife to be pregnant."

" You again infects his mind, um! um!" They again laughed and Magee was following Albrecht downstairs bringing her stick.

" See her reaction, hah! she's always like that when Albrecht teases her." Baldur said.

" Yeah, you're right, can't help fro laughing too when she said that I wasn't done talking yet, haha! But seriously Baldur, are you considering Guida too?" George asked.

" Yes, she seemed envious the way I observed on her. In fact, she was looking for Magee this afternoon and commented how come a leader's wife isn't helping the command too by just even attending the burial. Aside from that, there was one time I saw her inside this house already, standing. When I caught her, she said she's looking for you." Baldur said.

" She pressed my back when we're on our way bound for Gabok."

" What? that's madness! how come she can do that to a man who's already tied to someone else aside from being the head of the command. I won't allow her to do that to my sister too. Never." Baldur angrily said.

" Shh...yeah! I was even heightened when she did it but of course I have to hold my temper very well. I hope she'd changed after getting married to Edmund." George ended.

" Guida's a potential suspect aside from Elias too."

" That's why we're giving him a reward more than that of his deceptions, if its true rather than leaving him to be taken away from us.

Magee approached them for dinner that Albrecht had prepared. While on their paces, Baldur went downstairs first followed by Magee then George. He forgot and nestled his hand on her hair. To his surprise, she didn't throw his hand away but turned her head at him and smiled.

" You have to eat well tonight. I have the feeling that you'll not sleep well again for guarding me. Thank you." Unexpectedly, she goes out of balance and good thing George held her shoulder with his left hand and his right hand supported her back and they meet eyes too close that instant while he pressed her hand twice but she turned her face away from him and hide inside her hair.

"Hey, what are you two doing? the stairs are getting out of balance. C'mon! let's go dig for our dinner." Albrecht called them smiling.
