? Encounter ?

Chapter 1

"I told you I want the gem Mr. Khun." He said in a sing-sang voice. 

"Stop dawdling around, you already know where its located yet your wasting time and even introduced yourself to the occupant of this manor. Why?" I tried to make sense of what he wanted with me I have yet to come to a conclusion but what I do know is Baam isn't interested in money or valuables.

"Investment!" He hummed his carefree attitude is annoying me. "Also I want to know why your wilting away in a place like this" he tilts his head.

"That is none of your business" I clenched my fist deliberating if I should just kill him "Leave." I stormed inside my room slamming the doors uncaring if it breaks. I can't read him at all, I have little to no knowledge on who Baam is I don't dwell with the unknown I can't prepare counter measures for betrayal. 

I groaned Maschenny was right I can't do anything with uncertainty.

"SO WHAT!!" I threw my pillow across the room. "So what if I can't do anything with uncertainty!" I hurled the knife towards the vase it gave of a satisfying  sound, shards flying everywhere. My blood pressure almost hit the roof, sighing I engulfed myself with a blanket clearing my mind from what was done in the past.

'Trust only yourself my Aguero'

I squeezed my eyes shut.

'I want to disappear'  With that thought in mind the bluenet slept with night terrors and the butler behind the door smirked and walked away.

...A week later...

I placed a chair on the balcony trying to enjoy the moon that dimmed the sea. After calming myself down I prepared myself to truly listen to Baam. After giving thought on his nightly visits it occurred to me that he only visits at the fifth day of the week near midnight at most.

"Permission to intrude your humble abode?" A gentle voice resonated behind me.

"Your behavior and traits are different from your average thief" I replied coldly, I don't trust this person not one bit. "Mr. Baam the irregular" He walked towards the other seat I prepared for him he sat down and smiled.

"Would you like to be entertained?" He asked I glanced at him and saw that he was not smiling anymore, he looked serious.

"I had enough from the family" I replied voice seeping with disgust.

"Do you trust me?"

"Not one bit" a stupid question to ask I chuckled in response.

'Says the one who offered me a chair' I heard him mumble.

"First I don't know you, Second your goal is unclear and third I want to know my gain in this collaboration." I crossed my legs and turned to examine his reaction.

"One my name is Jyu Viole Grace, Secondly I want the gem and your permission for me to take it and lastly your gonna know next time we meet." He just had a sincere smile plastered on his face he gazed into my eyes "You glare too much" he chuckled. 

'tsk' I turned back to stare at the moon.

"If the benefit doesn't match my standards I will kill you on the spot Baam." I reminded, He stood up and walked towards the balcony's railings I guess time's up.

"Don't injure your delicate looking hands" He put his tongue out and disappeared, I am once again greeted with the deafening silence of the night. 

The bluenet will never admit it but he found joy in the brief time he spent with Baam even under this circumstance.

...Monday...

"Master, a letter has arrived from Madam Agnis" Leesoo the butler came forward and bowed extending his palm where lays the letter. I grabbed the piece of paper and gave him a nod. I am only holding a piece or paper yet the weight seems to be equal of a boulder. Receiving letters would indicate an event shall take place and I don't want to be a part of it.

"My Dear Aguero,

        Princess Maschenny will be holding a celebration of acknowledgement  for Maria  who was chosen as a candidate for Zahard's princesses this Friday. The entire family plans to go and so would your Father. I have received permission to take you along, I included a suit for you along with the letter you don't have to worry my dear Aguero. You will gain your father's approval.

Love Mother."

I crumpled the paper and threw it away from me. I knew it, she wanted me to suck up to that dirty old man and what's worst its Maria's celebration the girl I helped to reach that position. And the one who worked behind the curtains Maschenny. Being in the same place with those two is bad for my wellness and mental fortitude. I can't decline the invitation, it would lead to treason and followed by death I'm not going down and I will leave a scar. I grabbed the plate and threw it towards the glass windows, both shatters, sound ringing in my ears. The noise was noticed by the butler who began to clean it up. I groaned I want to disappear. Standing abruptly I stormed towards my room shutting the door loudly.

"Phew..." Leesoo stopped picking the shards from the floor he glanced around the dinning hall before picking up the crumpled letter. "Viole is so gonna hug me for this" he discarded the shards and left the manor skipping happily as he went.
