Chapter 6: Hypnotist

" So for what do you need my help" asked Ryoko Yuto and Lorelai.

They both looked at each other and decided to tell her the truth.

" Competition isn't only to find a new heir for throne, it is to find out who killed king's son to..." said Lorelai

" Wait what did you say? To find who killed the king's son but they said it was a accident.." said Ryoko

" If you think carefully in just 3 months have died 5 kids from 5 noble families. All reasons of death are either unknown or ridiculous. For example miss Eleonora's son died from a cat allergy, weird right? Mister Ben died because of drowning but he is one of the best swimmers in the kingdom. If you make the connection you'll understand that.. "

" That all of them were killed by the same person and that all of them were their families first kids" said Ryoko to Yuto.

If Ryoko was following the right logic of these misterious event does that mean that?

" My brother's accident wasn't actually a accident, it was a trap for him! " said Ryoko.

So that explains everything. But still Ryoko was a little confused. The murderer seems very smart since none of victims saved and no one knows his face.

But still something was off....

" When my brother was injured I saw someone next to him like he was trying to help but.. when he saw me he runed away scared and didn't say nothing.

When I asked my brother about him he said that he didn't remember no one to be with him.

He said that he accidentally broke his leg while he was trying a dancing" said Ryoko

"No one has seen his face, no one talks about all these murdering cases and it seems that no one knows that he exist at all..."

"Does that mean he's...? " thought Ryoko

" Yes Ryoko you're right. He's a hypnotic" said Yuto

" Hypnotic?! That's impossible none of them is alive, they all died when a big fire destroyed their small town!" said Ryoko

" You're wrong or to be correct that's not the truth. That fire never happened in fact king exuted them all one by one but are some rumours that a family of them survived..

They were Bloons, the most powerful illusionist family in the world and the most feared to.

I guess rumours are right, Bloons are back and are starting to kill each noble kid as a revenge for the death of they beloved ones" said Lorelai

" Please w.hy now, why me" though Ryoko worried

She was so excited for the competition but it seems that all her plans were destroyed by some random psycho who wanted bloody revenge.

But a bigger issue here is that not only her future was in danger but even her brother was in danger to.

" If your brother is still alive it is only because of you. It seems that your energy has scared the hypnotic so he runed away" said Lorelai

" My energy, do you mean Toshiba" said Ryoko

" Exactly. He is the reason why hypnotic didn't kill your brother beacuse he knew by doing that, he would awake beast inside you" said Lorelai

" Wow. The first time my demon isn't runing my life, fantastic" said Ryoko and clapped ( clear irony).

" We have been looking for so long this case to find a solution and we finally found it. You are the solution!" said Lorelai

" Me solution? What does that mean?" said Ryoko confused.

Lorelai looked at her and didn't say a word. For some moments there were total silence and none of them was saying a word.

Lorelai cleared her throat and decided to break the ice.

" Ryoko look I know that it is hard to say but... I can't remove your demon until now. Your strength is in that demon and if I remove it now we won't have anyway to stop hypnotic" said Lorelai

For some seconds Ryoko wasn't saying a word to them but after a while she started laughing louder than ever.

" Hahahaha I'm so pathetic! Did i really think that I could save from him? I guess now he'll be with me forever!" saud Ryoko and started to laugh even more.

Lorelai and Yuto both looked at her worried because she could have a panic attack anytime and this time it could be even worse.

"Ryoko please calm down" said Lorelai trying to comfort her.

" After so many years I open to someone about my situation, you tell me you could help me and in the end.. I'm disappointed again" said Ryoko and her eyes were full of tears ready to fall in her chekees.

" But still I have a question" said Ryoko

" What" said Yuto

" Why should I help you? My brother is protected by many guards in our house and I must focus on competition. This could be a way to distract me so your son can win" said Ryoko to Lorelai

" You still don't understand the situation..

Let me clear it for you, heir of throne must have died 80 years old from an illnes" said Lorelai and raised her voice.

Ryoko was shocked for a moment and didn't know what to say. Countdowners never did a mistake in predicting someone's death but now they were wrong..?

How could hypnotic kill prince if he was going to die 80 years old?

Could it be what she was thinking?

" Illusionist have a secret power that very few people in kingdom know, to change someone's fate. " said Lorelai

" But how can they?" said Ryoko

" Let me show you how" said Lorelai and took a box from cupboard.

Box was old and small, full of dust but still it hided a powerful item that not everyone could control it.

Lorelai opened the box, took the item in her hands and showed it to Ryoko.

" But it can't be, how could he find one of them?" said Ryoko worried

The item Lorelai showed her was a...
