It seems that this internationally famous thief, Ghost Hand, was someone that the Greatest Consulting Detective of the Century can’t even capture. Of course, Mom has no access to the police files of the Theft-Robbery-Burglary Division since she’s in the CID. “Why are there a lot of kids here?” A voice that could make me roll my eyes sounded from behind.

I always have some feeble list that goes on and on about his wrong-doings, the jewels, the furniture, the paintings, and the lives he's stolen…but I've forgotten the most important thing. What truly makes him a thief is that he's stolen something of mine. Something so guarded and kept away that one would have to be a true mastermind to steal it. My heart. And with that, I decided that I love Cesar, ruthless king of the barbarians, great thief of kingdoms far and wide, and slayer of men. I touch the topaz sitting around my neck. It is the great trophy, the one that I have long awaited.

Fabe slapped him, “You tell me what I need to know and I will let you go.” “Screw you!” “You want to do this the hard way, huh?” Fabe took a nail and buried it in the thief’s legs. Attaching it to a cable and welding machine. She the machine on and the thief scream as the electricity flowed in his body. “This guy, where is he?” Fabe flash Bryce’s photo on his face, but the thief answered with a curse. Fabe turn the machine on for a few second and the thief convulse shortly. “Are you ready to talk?”

"So he stole a special concoction and took the herbalist away. What's that special concoction?" "It's a secret." I nodded. "I don't get it, though. Why is the herbalist so important to you? You want the concoction, but this herbalist seems to bother you. She's human, right?" "Yes, the thief and the herbalists are both humans." "You have to defeat the thief. Find him at all costs. He owns a huge crossbow and is dressed in a thick, black tunic. He leaps on the canopies with no difficulty and is truly hard to catch. I provide you with the best weapons to slay him-"

She took her time, removing his phone, his keys, his expensive wrist watch and necklace. It was a veritable gold mine for a thief like her, and when she was done, she silently slipped out of the room, leaving Logan alone and helpless. Outside the room, Allyson coolly made her way to the exit, jostling and melting into the crowd. **** To Be Continued

Before I returned to the deed, he lowered his voice and said, “From now on, don’t go anywhere alone, Juliette.” The tenderness was like a caress on my cheek. The concerned shimmer in his eyes moved something inside me until a tiny voice in my head reminded, he's being nice because he wants something from me. Remember, it advised, he’s a thief. I turned back to the first aid box and fetched a clip to tighten the bandage. “I’ll be fine,” I said. “Will you?" He sounded annoyed again. "You walked right into the drug king’s trap today.”

It doesn’t numb the pain, not yet anyway. I take another shot before going to the window and looking out over the kingdom. The view on this side of the castle is different. From here, I can see the place where I chased the thief last night. I can see the cliff where the thief leapt. When I first saw him jump, I thought it was suicide. Then, a bronze dragon caught him and flew him away. Just one more confirmation that the thief is a rider. The next morning, I’m up and dressed, ready to meet with my father’s advisors and see what needs to be done, when I hear trumpets heralding the approach of someone. A moment later, I hear someone running to my bedroom before there’s a knock at my door.

All for what, for a damn rogue? A female who will run away the very moment she’s capable. I’m no fool, I see the hurt and longing in her eyes. Like anyone should expect her to stay with the very people who took away everything and everyone she knew. All she had. No wonder she stole from me! She’s never had a sense of loyalty, never had a moral compass. Nevermind that Harrison and his family made all their money off the murders of innocents. That they constantly raided villages and stole. Just like my little thief.
