Reality sure hurts like hell, but Audrey endures so much more than that on her previous life. It was nothing compared to what she had been through before. When epiphany struck her, she settled her resolved. "I won't trust that easy the next time. This will be my last, lest my future efforts would go to naught. " She promised to herself but her face was devoid of any emotion. She turned on her heels, and with a look reminiscent to a soldier marching to her death, she walked away from Johnson's study room. Nero walks to her side without saying anything. He chooses to give her time to absorb what just happen, and let her decide what to do next. No matter what, Nero was sure that he will accompany Audrey anywhere. They indulge their selves to silence as they walk back to Audrey's chamber. But before they reached the pathway leading to her room, Audrey did an abrupt turn. She turns to a corner and continued walking. The numbe

HA-HA-HA] Nero makes a forced guffaw as he sneered at Audrey's direction. [You think you're funny???? Sad. Try harder next time little lass.] He added as if a wise old man lecturing a small child about the ways of life. "It's getting dark now, let's go back to my room." After saying that, she picked her little black cat and settled him in her arms as they made their way back to her chamber. Audrey's back soon was engulfed by the darkness of the long corridor until only Nero's bright blue eyes reflected in the scene.   [I knew it. My senses never failed me before.] Nero narrowed his eyes but he pretended to act sleepy as he hides it with his exaggerated yawn. When the figure of the master and cat duo disappeared in the sight. The lurking shadow e

Audrey took a glimpse back to the Lee clan's residence. She will be lying to herself if she would say that her heart did not ache for this kind of departure. Somehow, even she just met them not too long ago, she still has some attachment towards them. Especially to the clan head, she treated Johnson as her own grandfather. There is also the sick looking maid Sabel.   "It saddens me to think that I can't bring her with me," Audrey said as she started to walk away.   Nero could feel how heartbroken Audrey was. He tries to chat at her to ease the heavy feeling but the little girl becomes quite melancholic as they walk farther, away from her supposed home. Her sorrow was not unfounded. After all, she thought that for the first time, she will finally got to know how it feels to have a family she could call her own. Yet before she could enjoy it, reality slaps her hard. She learned the harsh truth, in a hard way. In this world, you better not trus

The moment the first ray of sunlight penetrated the horizon, the master and cat duo also started their journey. [Do you have a place in mind??? Where do we go next???] Asked Nero, as they made their way towards the bustling market. "I honestly don't know," Audrey said with a voice full of uncertainty.  [I guess I know???? At least that should be anywhere except here. The longer we stay here, the higher the risk that we will get caught either by the emperor or your clan.] "That is something that I won't allow,...Ohh yeah, by the way-------------  [HEYYYY!!!!! Hey where is your ring????!!!!] "Ehhhh???" Audrey was flabbergasted when she heard what Nero just said, but when she looked at her finger that used to wear her ring, it was gone! "THIEEEEEEE

The thief continued to sink deeper in the ground. He was trapped in a quicksand! "Would you mind passing me over that piece of stick over there?" Said the thief as he ushered Audrey in the direction where his wand landed using his pouting lips. His voice was unsurprisingly calm as if he was not the one being swallowed by the ground. On the other hand, Audrey's battle instinct started to die down, she stared blankly at the handsome guy slowly sinking at the ground before her eyes. "EHEM!!!" "Hey miss, what are you staring up right there? Quick help me???" "Ohhh... yeah... the stick,..." Audrey said seemingly still in a daze as she casually picks a stick and throws it to him "Not this one! Oh geez,... What am I suppose to do with this stick??!" "But you said you need a stick?!!!! I'm not sure what are you planning to do
