Chereads / Coming For The Lost Fourteenth / Chapter 3 - How Troublesome

Chapter 3 - How Troublesome

With a sigh, she knew she could only resign to her current fate.

Maybe it was not that bad, to try and mingle with the people of the land. Maybe she can try and expand whatever it is that she already knew about them.

She stood straight and checked the two doors within the room, the one across her bed leads to the bathroom and the one on the other side leads to the living room outside.

The place she was in was actually an apartment at the fifth or last floor before the rooftop of an apartment building. It could be said that people in the middle class could only afford this place.

The living room was spacious enough for twenty people to be there, a table counter was what separates it from the kitchen that was big enough for three people to move around.

The kitchen was on her right side, on her left was a foyer to the door leading outside the apartment.

Like normal apartments the place have its own TV, sofa, dining table, refrigerator, shelves and things that could be seen in a normal household.

Another two-meter-wide window was on her left side, looking outside what welcomes you was the tall buildings of the city.

"So, this is in the middle of the city, well it is still fine since there is what seemed like a park down below separating this place from the other buildings at a good distance," she commented.

She stood there feeling a bit lost for the sudden change in environment. Their place only has the mansion and the surrounding was the flower garden and the clouds.

Yet right now, she is facing a whole load of buildings with different height and a whole load of faces that is completely new to her who remained with her companions for as long as she could remember.

She once again sighed, "It is all that jerk's fault. He was enjoying himself too much in coming down here and now I ended up being pulled into searching for him."

She turned around and looked around the living room, what caught her eyes was a piece of paper in the coffee table in the center of the living room.

She walked towards it and picked it up before sitting down at the soft white sofa.

~We have given you a rather good life in there. I hope two aces are enough for you to show off. I actually wanted to give you more, it may not be ace but at least three jacks. But sister Silvia caught me. Every document you needed are already in there, the newest phone was also given to you. So enjoy your stay and look for him at your own pace. That's right your name there is, Astra.~

Her brows were twitching while reading the letter. Silvia was the purple haired one who exudes elegance.

Her hair color was just a few shades lighter than Astra's.

Well Silvia is also what they call, her land name.

In that mansion they were called by the numbers in their eyes. That was their real names.

If one has three then their name is three, if one has Jack then their name is Jack, whether they are man or woman.

The same goes with the queen and the king, whether you are a man or a woman, this shall be what you are called in the mansion where they are staying.

Among them, only Astra was the one who remained not visiting the land for as long as she lived.

Even the one who looks younger than her has already gone down.

When one of them visits, everyone who remained should be present to allow you back up again, was what they told her before she was pulled towards the pool.

That is why Astra had no other choice as well but to do this task because surely they wouldn't let her return no matter what she says. She wouldn't be able to lie to them.

"I'm glad you have stopped him Silvia, but why still give me such strong powers? I want to lead a rather normal life you know. You could have given me at least a four or five, that would be much better you know."

She picked up the box and took out the smart phone. She explored it for the time being, she may not have visited this place but she was not clueless of the things in here.

The hundreds of years didn't bring too much change in the land. It was still in the time where phones are touch phones and Bluetooth earphones are the latest.

A reason was because they couldn't really change the land itself, there are so many things that are needed from the natural places. They can't over develop this or getting stronger would remain as just a dream.

After getting bored at checking the electronics out, she lay down at the sofa, one arm resting on her forehead as she stares up at the ceiling.

Her brows twitched upon realizing something, "Did they know how big this land is? How long will it take me to find that stupid jerk right now? If I am lucky enough then maybe I am in the same city as he was. But this one is still big."

They let him leave back then, but slowly each of them started losing his trace. All of them can feel the strength of one another, this allows them to find each other. But after hundreds of years, they actually lost his presence.

They could only go to the present time at the land. They didn't know how he spent it but surely people will find him strange if he stayed sixteen years old after tens of years.

Yet people didn't notice at all, they didn't feel anything about such phenomenon. Which means that something is going on down here that they have no idea of what it might be.

"How troublesome," she blurted and shifted in her lying position ready to just sleep for the time being.
