Human market.

Praecipua sunt.

Chapter 10.

Cabinet of the head of IPPI. It looks like an ordinary light room, with 12 old tables and chairs, one chest of drawers and a wardrobe. There are no newfangled things, and there is no individual design. The only thing is the expensive high-tech computers that the organization members use for their work.

Knock Knock.

She knocked on Gabriela's door and opened it immediately.

"May I come in?"

"Please come in."

A man in a Koala mask sat and worked hard at his computer. By voice, this is a middle-aged man, in good physical shape and with a beautiful body. The clothes were ceremonial, but also ordinary and not expensive. Unlike other masked people who wore expensive outfits, he was ordinary with him.

“Is this their leader? He certainly wasn't in that garage. And he doesn't really look like him." I thought to myself Fel.

"I brought you a boy. He is Praecipua sunt."

"Are you sure?"

Surprise flashed in the eyes of the man with the Koala mask on his face.

"Yes."

"Good. Will you leave us, Gabriela?"

"Of course."

Miss Cruz left the office and left them alone. In turn, she went to Lale to talk about Fel and who Praecipua sunt is.

"I hope you are not very angry that I left you so abruptly and took the guy away, without explaining the reason."

"Have a seat. What's your name?"

"Fel. Mr."

The former servant did not sit down and decided to stand. It was not convenient for him to put his butt in the places where they sat, as he already managed to understand, the important bumps of the organization.

"Can you still sit down?"

"Thank you very much for the offer, sir. I stand."

"No need for this formality, you can just use a Koala. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you the name, for certain reasons. Therefore, we wear animal masks."

The head of the organization decided to remain incognito.

"What's your last name?"

"I don't know her. The aristocrats never told me that. And if not for Mrs. Cullen. I wouldn't know that either. I never saw my parents either."

“That's how it is. So Meybi. This woman undoubtedly told him the truth." Koala thought in his thoughts.

"Why are you so surprised? Is there something wrong with me?"

Fel, from the moment he entered, looked at him as if he saw something unusual. The reason is the simple image of the head, which is more suitable for an ordinary person, outside the human market.

"Your appearance. You don't look like the head of the organization."

"Ahhahah. And you are straightforward."

He cheered up and made the chapter laugh with such a statement. Usually, others do not allow themselves to talk to him like that and when they meet everyone only thinks, but no one speaks out loud.

"Oh, No. Sorry. I did not want to."

Fel was frightened, anger from the man. He really didn't mean to offend him. Accidentally, it burst out of his mouth.

"Do not worry you so, I do not swear. Many people think so, they cannot say, but you hit him right on the forehead. I even like it. But let's get straight to the point. Do you understand what all this means? If the vassals of the human market find out about you, you will be in great danger. They will definitely want to kill you."

"Most likely, they have known this for a long time. If the aristocrat knows, then so are the vassals."

"And here you are wrong. Meybi is no ordinary aristocrat like everyone else. Her life is shrouded in mystery. She acts in her own interests and they differ from the desires of the vassals. At least, this can be judged by the information that is provided to us."

"But why. What does she want then? She's a monster that eats aristocrats."

He did not expect this from the mistress. Now for him, this woman is a real monster, but all the time spent together, until that fateful day. They were really good. Meybi truly loved and protected her servant.

"So you saw it. No one knows her goals or motives. Only one thing is known. This woman participated in a project to create an artificial Praecipua sunt and survived the time of genocide."

"Is she the same as me? So that's what this creature is. Will I become a lizard-like monster too?"

"No. You misunderstood. You are completely different. She is an inhuman monster, and you are a human."

And that's a fact. Your second test result fully proves it.

The man in the Koala mask stood up to his full height. Quite high, about 2 meters somewhere. He went up to Fel at arm's length and said.

"In general, I heard enough and made one decision. All subsequent time, before the start of the operation, I will personally deal with your preparation."

Now this unusual guy will go through even more difficult training. Indeed, the leader is unrealistically harsh and undertakes only in rare cases to teach someone.

"I have only one question for you. Will I be strong enough to protect Lale?"

"Oh, so you have a person dear to your heart."

"No. Not that expensive. Yes, and we are familiar, we are only a few days. I just seem to like her."

"Ahhah. I will make you so strong that you can protect everyone."

Lale did not wait for Gabriela to come and went to her room. I bathed. When the girl got out of the bath, Miss Cruz was already waiting for her in the room. A rather serious conversation was planned.

"Enjoy Your Bath."

"Thank you."

Naked, Lale walked around the room, then took her panties and bra, and put them on herself. You never know Fel will come. And she really did not want to show her nakedness. Well, in front of another girl, she was not shy, but in front of a guy, it was a completely different matter.

"You have a very beautiful body, you know."

"Lesbian or what?" Lale asked sloppily, not even thinking that such a statement towards Cruz could offend.

"No. All wrong. You misunderstood. I have a boyfriend." She rejected with a grin on Gabriela's face.

"Maybe straight to the point?" Lale changed to a serious tone.

"Good. Where to begin? I know you have a lot of questions, so ask."

"All. I am interested in absolutely everything."

Gabriela fully told Lale the whole story. It all started 30 years ago. In those days, many people in different cities and countries began to show a special gene that made them different from other people. Special. And every year, more and more carriers of this force appear around the world.

Then they were persecuted and completely discriminated against by all mankind. Only 5 years later, that is, 25 years ago, a group of carriers of this power appeared that united everyone and gathered in one place. This place was Gray City.

Then the people and the Praecipua sunt came to a peaceful agreement and concluded a truce. Life got better and everyone lived separately, without interfering with each other. This peacetime lasted only 2 years.

Then some of them wanted to see the world and see what was happening outside the Gray city, to travel. At that moment, a turning point occurred.

Praecipua sunt, ceased to control their power and destroyed cities with their incredible power, while many casualties for humanity were formed. People got scared and the whole world declared war on them.

This struggle continued for 3 years until all the carriers of this power died at the hands of the people. And the one who destroyed their entire lineage was none other than Edward Reingard. He became a hero to the whole world and created the human market.

"That's the whole story. No one thought there were survivors, but Fel seemed to be one of a kind. The boy who survived."

"That's how it is. But did they really not control their power? According to your story, it looks more like someone specifically wanted to start a war."

The girl was surprised by this story. No one in Gray City ever mentioned this. No rumors, no talk, absolutely nothing. As if this incident did not exist at all.

"Maybe so. We will not know this. No matter how much we search for information about Praecipua sunt. Everything is useless. They were simply erased from history, leaving only superficial knowledge. And what a certain number of people know? I doubt that outside the human market, anyone is aware of what happened."

Erase 10 years from history. It's just incredibly difficult. And the whole world. It must have been a very powerful man to pull this off.

"Clear. Yet that doesn't change the fact that he's weak. Fel might die."

The story of how strong his appearance did not convince the girl.

"Why are you so worried about him?" Gabriela asked the question.

"I do not know, I probably like him. This is his kindness and concern for me. But it will save neither me nor him from death. We must bathe in the blood of others in order to survive and take revenge on our offenders."

"That's how it is. Do not worry. Our leader will definitely make him so strong that he will not die. And there is no need to force him to kill anymore."

"Hope so."

Lale confessed to Miss Cruz that she was not indifferent to Fel and that she still had some feelings. But for the sake of her revenge, she completely closed her soul and heart, which will be difficult to sacrifice until she fulfills her revenge.

It took about 2 hours after our heroes talked and learned a lot. The girl lay on the crib in her underwear and looked at the ceiling. And the guy stood on the balcony and looked at the stars. Each of them thought at that moment about how to protect each other and not let them die.

"I hope I can protect you, Lale."

"I hope you don't die and stay there so I can stand up for you, Fel."

Fel returned to the room and immediately went to the shower. He left the bath and silently lay down on his bed looking at the ceiling, just like Lale had been doing for the last 2 hours.

"How was it?"

"Not bad. He undertook to teach me. Did Gabriela tell you what kind of creature I am?"

"Yes. You are not a creature, you are a person."

"If you can call me that."

Synchronously, I got up from bed and went beyond the partition. We met eye to eye.

"Fel, I know that we are a little acquainted and I am not a gift, a girl with character. AND…. In general, I'm sorry."

"Excuse me. I could not keep you safe. What influenced you so much? Why did you become so cold?"

"Edward Reingard, killed my parents right in front of my eyes. I'm going to kill him."

He was unable to utter a word after hearing Lale's reason. Only silence hovered between them for 5 minutes.

"You know, during the last few days you became a close person to me and I decided for myself. I promise to protect you and not let you die. I will become your shield."

"Yes. You, too, remain the only person in my life. Therefore, I ask you not to die. Do not leave me alone."

The couple spoke out about their feelings today. This is a new beginning for their friendship and reconciliation.

"I swear."

"I swear."

They took each other by the little fingers and made their promises.
