“Sir, we still have a lot of work to do” said Flora, pushing Claude softly to end their long hug. “I believe so, Flora” replied Claude “From now on, you are my protégée and I am your armor” “You are my silver knight with shining armor” whispered Flora, not knowing how much her sweet voice is driving him crazy. “We still have to interview Mr. Daniel, Dr. Philip Watson, and Mr. and Mrs. Schnider. I can do it myself if you want to.” “No. I will be present by your side. If this matter is linked to the mafia, then I may be of great help since I lived among them all those years. Plus, apparently, I ended up being your assistant!” Claude laughed hard. His loud masculine laugh triggered the heart of Flora: “If that’s your desire, I will not stop you. But if you ever felt the discomfort, tell me. Also, about Mrs. Schnider: Being a secretary in the Black Castle does not mean she can recognize your face or even know about your existence. Jack did a great job hiding you from the eyes of ever
“He is dead,” confirmed the Doctor.Sharp screams came out of some ladies. The scenery was a real tragedy. The catastrophe was that the killer did his crime in front of everyone! The terror, the shock, and the inability were unbearable. Amélie laughed like someone losing his head. Sesilea hugged her boy and they sobbed together. The young couple held hands, shaking. - I am thinking about a one-only question, said Claude to Flora.- ‘Who’s next?'- No Flora. It is ‘How did he do it?’.Mr. Daniel was the most cautious! He only consumed canned food and whipped it with alcohol on every surface before touching it. How did the killer do it? How?!- Was it Mrs. Schnider? whispered Flora. Did she put on the tea so when the liquid was spilt, some of it touched the skin of the man and poisoned him? In that case, she had drunk an anti-poison earlier. What do you think?Claude said nothing. He was thinking about the craziest scenario ever:- Flora, ask the doctor and Vlad to take the corpse away
“You bunch of liars!”, said Claude. There was no response, only silence. “Daniel and Faranight were two retired mafia men. They both got killed in a train where: The sister of the train’s director and the close friend of Mrs. Schnider AKA Miss Helia Mett was killed in a shooting in the office of Black Castle. Probably by one of the two men. On the same train, we find Madame Sesilea Labrino who miscarried some years ago after witnessing the shooting. Then, we have Mrs. Amélie De Cassel, a pharmacist, whose husband was killed too by the mafia after he tried to compete with them trading on their land. But, who was the killer? Was it Mr. Daniel? Wasn’t he the same person who shot Athena Bouc in Black Castle years ago?!”Flora was not surprised. Some minutes ago she looked at her surroundings and saw the images of guilty people, not of scared witnesses. “Helia tracked down the movements of Daniel. Bouc and Seselia arranged the train trip. Amélie poisoned herself since being a pharmacist
“Welcome, Miss Flora!” Said Ciel. Flora stood at the door of Claude Knightley’s manor. The manor was exceptionally gorgeous and spacious. Someone may get lost easily here. That’s why Ciel was waiting for Flora to help her get in. “That is extremely kind, sir” “You can just call me by my name” “You call me mine too!” “No, sir won’t like it!” Flora laughed believing he was just joking. Of course, he was not. It was night. There was a full moon, but most stars were hiding behind clouds. Flora felt a cool chill. She was surprised when Ciel asked her to sit in the garden. “Isn’t it a bit cold?” asked the girl. “We won’t be sitting outside. I am guiding you to the glass house,” responded Ciel Flora was astonished by the beautiful glasshouse. It was warm and calm. It smells good too due to Jasmine plants. Flora always adored jasmine. She remembered telling this to Claude, once. “It can’t be,” whispered the girl. Then, to make sure she asked Ciel: “Why is the Glasshouse fall of jasm
- You will be having a personal doctor, Miss La Candida. We can’t train recklessly due to your health condition. - I already had surgery to remove Cancer. - Still. You are not fully recovered. Else, the doctor said you are still carrying further treatments. - Which doctor? - Dr. Jade... - Jade?! - Did someone call me? Said Jade coming into the examination room. He was smiling sweetly and softly as always. Flora looked at him astonished and murmured: - Jack didn’t kill you? Jade laughed and answered: - I believe he didn’t. Mr. Knightley is protecting me and my family. We are having a new life away from the mafia. Flora almost cried from happiness. Jade is one of those people who helped her out of a good heart and pure humanity. He risked his life and didn't ask for anything in return. Moved by his act, Flora wanted to thank him yet she thought he didn’t make it out of Gotham since Claude never told her about him: - Dr. Jade, I wanted to tell you something. - Go ahead! - Th
Flora was very excited about her first mission. This mission is an easy one. Plus, Claude will accompany her. There’s nothing for her to be worried about since her silver knight is near. Flora hardly slept last night. And even asleep, she kept dreaming about the mission, the training, and Claude. Neither of those dreams was bad or stressful. They were all sweet. Flora was proud of herself and quite confident. That’s why she had no anxiety. Although a normal person would be very stressed under such circumstances.On the other hand, Claude had a hard night.Literally.The sweet delirium of the pretty drunk Flora didn’t get out of his head. He got hard over it. And tried his best to conceal the desire down his abdomen: He took a cold shower, tried to read, tried to paint. It was all for nothing, the desire kept eating his heart. He wasn’t even able to sleep. Almost midnight he called for the housekeeper: Mrs. Samantha.Mrs. Samantha was an old respectful lady. She was the one taking care
Flora came to the mansion at seven in the morning. She met the gentle housekeeper and was asked to wait in the dining hall where she was served breakfast.Claude woke up at six. He took a shower and locked his secret room before going to his private gym to exercise. At seven, he came back and showered again before meeting Flora in the dining hall:- Good morning, sir!Flora got up from her chair as she saw Claude coming in. She greeted him showing great excitement. That fresh spirit made the soul Claude refresh too:- It looks like you are ready!- I am!- Do you remember the plan?- Yes!- Your gun?- It is ready.- I trust you but make Vlad give it a look after breakfast. Meanwhile, Samantha will help you dress up and disguise.At eight, Flora came out of the dressing room wearing a classic dress. With good makeup and an elegant mousy wig, Flora looked very gorgeous and different. Claude barely canceled his astonishment seeing her:- You can be reassured. No one will identify you th
“I can’t believe it” Poor Flora was still shocked. Claude was laughing. Soon Cassius left his cabin and joined them:- Long time no see friend!- Cassius! Do you want to poorish me or something?- Pf! How funny! You can easily pay double that over hookers!This time was Claude’s turn to open his mouth in disbelief. Soon Cassius noticed the petite lady sitting near Claude and he cried:- I am sorry! I didn’t notice you have company! I apologize to my lady! I promise I was just kidding, my friend here is a very respectful man!Flora didn’t have the power to get into this madness. But she was super satisfied by the b*tch called Karma:- I am Cassius Bloom. A businessman.Flora shook hands with Cassius and replied:- I am Miss La Candida. I am Mister Knightley’s assistant. Ciel is too busy. Currently, I am helping him.- I see…Cassius seemed a bit confused: “I have heard your name before. Didn’t I?”- This is Flora. My Flora. replied Claude.- I can’t believe my eyes! Said Cassius. I did
