"Well if this makes you feel better." He looked amused now I finally have a good look at his appearance, Round shaped eyes, brown orbs fused with golden hue and long tied brown hair now scattered on the floor, lean proportions and a defined jawline. 

"Who sent you?" I glared grip tightening as I tried to make sense of this assassination attempt, those blood related shits shouldn't know about this location aside from birth giver and family head. 

"No one did!! I was here for a different reason" He glanced at the knife he flicked awhile ago and innocently blinked back at me. "No knives please."

'The nerve...'

"You said was" Calculating the distance from the knife, I could grab it but that would give him a chance to pin me down, releasing him would be fatal, buying time till I figure out what to do will be the best decision for now.

"First and foremost, I'm a thief, no I'm not sent by someone, no I don't plan on harming you, yes I scaled the wall." He stared at me with such innocent eyes, how misleading it is.

"A thief who introduces himself how absurd." Should I take my chance and dash? Absorbing the situation I'm in, I weighted the advantages and disadvantages I would put myself in and decided to lunge for the knife in doing so I let go of the stranger who hurriedly dashed and stood on top of the balcony railings hair whooshing with the breeze.

"Touché" With that he jumped.

'Huh?' Mouth agape I dashed towards the railing and peered down I couldn't make out any distinguishable form of a human. it was far too dark but I felt his presence disappear.

The next morning I commanded the maids to inspect every lock and latches and to secure the perimeter. Once I capture him, I will catechize that self-proclaimed thief. I hid knives in every corner of every room my preparations complete.

Now we await the thief.

...Days pass after the encounter...

The night and day cycle continued with no disturbance from the outside forces. No brown haired thief today and the previous nights. 

'Maybe tomorrow' 

I leaned on the balcony railing it was nearly midnight and the crescent moon is lovely as ever, the vast sea mocked me with its tranquil beauty bounded by none. 

'Did the heightened security scare him away? Or is he orchestrating an elaborate plan?' 

I let out a breath of disappointment no fun today either, dusting off my sleeping suit, I headed back to my room just inside the balcony.

"Did he give up?" I pondered both hands closing the balcony's glass built doors.

"He could but he chose not to." Startled my hands immediately reached for the knife located on the breast pocket of my suit. I took my stance glaring at the shadow just outside the balcony doors.

"Do enlighten me for what reason did he not?" I locked the balcony doors and raised the knife in a defensive stance.

"Well he found an exquisite gem, priceless if I say so myself." Casually walking around the balcony he stopped in front of the double glass doors, wearing a black piece of cloth to cover his mouth and nose, sleeveless black shirt hugging his physique, crimson colored trousers matched his overall appearance.
