BLAMELESS SORROWS

29. Outsider!

Heri's Point of View

We all stare at Tilbe, all a bit shocked and confused. What does she mean by someone get in?

That is like impossible, or likely impossible. That has never ever happen in the history of Iklu as far as written information is concern.

Heri: But how can they and how do you know?

wasn't she sick and been here from before.

Tilbe: I can feel it when someone get inside without my pass.

Wow, isn't that a pretty new information now.

Tilbe: I tried to strengthen the enchantment when the person tried to get in, but I couldn't because I was already too weak at the time because of the pain and all.

All of us stilled, not knowing what to say or suggest.

But that is when the blindfolded guy speak up.

Axel: First off, since we can't find the person just like that even if we want to, we should think of a proper plan incase we alert him or her of anything. And meanwhile as we are doing that, you little gift need to rest for a bit. Your health comes first.

I nod in agreement as he said that, what Tilbe just went through is something more than serious and scary, so we quickly need to take care of her.

Vann: Yes, first rest and we will observe if anything is wrong and then we will see to it.

Tilbe look at them in disbelieve while at the same time glaring at them and that is when I pipe in.

Heri: They are right, you should take some rest first.

She turn back at me totally hurt, as if I have betrayed her somehow. While I look at her innocently making her pout in discontent.

Tilbe: This is serious matter and should be taken care of as soon as possible. And also about me, Vann has healed me haven't he? I will be alright, Iam as good as new now.

Vann look at her worried and also feebly.

Vann: But your pain have reopen once, and there is no saying that it might not happen again. So it's better that we take the needed precaution.

Tilbe tch at his words, while Ax stop her from answering back anything.

Axel: He is right little gift, listen to us this time alright and besides I swear we will all think about ways to catch her okay, so please come home with me for now.

Tilbe was about to argue against it by her gesture but then her composition suddenly change as she saw the blindfold and softly touch it's hem with a sigh.

Tilbe: Okay, let's go back home first. And sorry I make you went outside with all this unnecessary illness.

Ax sigh at her words while softly touching her hands.

Axel: Nothing to worry about. We should just be relieved that you are alright now. You are right? Wait, is it still hurting or uncomfortable anywhere?

He suddenly panic with that remembrance while Vann follow suit making me sigh at their antics, but also following along in their worries with my own. I know!

Tilbe sigh in utter disappointment seeing us panic taking turns.

Tilbe: Iam fine, I can't believe you will still panic when I have wake up from that much before.

We all just look at her while she just stare back at us.

Axel: Okay then shall we go now?

Vann: Umm let me drop you off, Iam quite aware that you run here. Although I don't know how you do that with your eyes blindfolded.

Heri: His eyes were not covered before, when he get here at least.

When I said that, Vann look at all of us confused. He look at me as if asking me to explain making me shrug in innocence.

Heri: I don't know anything.

Tilbe: He have his reason for doing this, now shall we get going?

Her rushing make everything much more suspicious.

Heri: By the way, if we need to find whoever get inside. Don't I need to be in the palace as well?

Tilbe: I guess, but the problem is Uncle Jo is not here at the moment.

Yes that is indeed a problem, if the head chief of the security team is not present, then how do we start the talk about security.

All of us nod and sigh along.

Ax: Vann come with us in the inner building, Tilbe you and I will try to think of something.

Wow, Iam very very offended by how Iam completely left out right now. And I always work at such things, never Vann. But this is no time to fight for pride.

Heri: I'll come with you guys.

Ax nod in a complete no, while I stay silent waiting for further explanation which never came.

Tilbe: Yes, you cannot come. Only Vann can.

I look at her unpleasantly while she look at me sheepishly.

Heri: Why?

As I ask that, there was heavy silence that follow while both Vann and me look at them confusedly.

Ax: Because I saw you.

Huh? What's that suppose to mean? Because he saw me, I can't go to his home?

Heri/Vann: Say what now?

Tilbe: Please call Galen and let him know about what happen and you work with him while waiting for our progress. We will communicate and get through this, now if you will excuse me, Iam needed to go home as soon as possible.

Both Vann and me look at her speechless, while she sigh to herself and heave about ending her little speech. This is the first time that I have seen her say something stern and serious.

So I nod my head, cause I know she does things for what's best. Tilbe might be joyous, innocent and childish and pretty much always friendly everywhere. And even at work she can keep up that quality and characters but she also too know when to be serious and when to be commanding.

And I respect her for that, so I agree despite having many questions and doubt without a question.

Tilbe: Then shall we go?

We all nod, and Vann go to support Tilbe who look quite weak and pale still.

While she look back at Ax, worried and trying to reach to him.

So quickly taking the hint, I place his hand by my arm and lead him out till we reach the car and leave him after he got inside the car.

And just like that they zoom away while I go back inside to call Galen.

And yes, Galen work as a security co-chief which is a rank just below Uncle Jo, so he is indeed very much needed.

I call him and he pick up instantly by the third ring.

Galen: Miss me beautiful?

I shake my head in disbelieve at his always flirty tone, but a smile climb on my face by itself.

Heri: Yes I do, but thats not why I call.

I quickly shake myself out from the flirty zone and went back to being serious.

Heri: There is an emergency regarding the security of the gate, and I really need you here instantly by my house.

Within second his tone becomes serious.

Galen: How bad is it?

Heri: Nothing too serious as yet, but it might become complicated later on.

Galen: Okay I'll be there in a minute.

And with that he hung up while I sigh and plop myself down at the couch not knowing what to do.

I mean I know there is something going on right now and I needed to stop it but right now there is nothing I can think of that can help the situation.So I must just wait.

Actually there was a past incident which make Iklu people apart from the world. Iklu is indeed still a place on earth but it's just partitioned out and no one can enter without permission.

It is a known fact that, three family started the kingdom Iklu.

Which are The Vasely which is the royals as they are said to be the leader and the oldest of the three family. And then followed by The Coy and the Awor's.

We are the two noble family or the founding family. So our surname is always respected.

It is said that this three family have blessing in the form of different ability since time immemorial. And they love to use it to help mankind in anything and are always lending a helping hand whenever they can

But typically people become too greedy and start to covet their ability, and want to steal them. This continue on for a while but no one can inherit their ability neither take it away.

But it is said that, one person that all the three family trust so much start to know about everything of the three family. And then he secretly start to research in their bodies and ability while they share with him a lot themselve as they trust them.

And this way, slowly and slowly the person start to get to know of their weaknesses and finally slowly but gradually starts to harm them.

To the point that a Vasely was killed while he was researching and experimenting with his blood. This lead to the then king, to seperate Iklu from the world with his power which eventually lead to his death.

But since then no outsiders were made to come into Iklu except when permission is granted.

No one is allowed to meet the three family in fear of harm, while the people of Iklu protect us three family by keeping our existence a secret and we protect them inturn by providing them all the necessary materialistic thing that we can and by sharing our ability with them in any case.

And likewise the true people of Iklu who came to the three family and chose to follow them from time immemorial, still does. Their ancestors and mine sow the grand relationship we the grandchildren enjoy now.

The population grow bigger and bigger as time went by and by and thus Iklu become bigger and bigger as well, to the point that it need administration and have to be looked after to prosper.

Thus here the three family as a form of their leader become the head that look after them.

The Vasely look after the administration, judicial and military with the other two.

Judicial is lead by one royals and us while military is lead by Uncle Jo and the Coy.

But since Iklu is a simple and peaceful kingdom, military and judicial factor are not needed much, so the job is quite flexible and free

Thus the Coy use their ability in their own way while we use ours in our own ways.

Just as I was thinking all this, the door bell ring making me get up to open the door. Galen must have reach.
