Chapter 56: Menacing (1)
In the Medic Room, the menacing situation quickly turns silent as the other entity speaks *Donovan's official full name in his very ID Document.
" You..., you know me? " Donovan asks.
" Of course, I know... "
" I often see you in every banquet held by other royals you have to attend with your family back then. "
" Including you, Carlos Calibur... "
" I often see you also in every Royal Houses Party with your .... 'mom'.... " the other entity says to Carlos which made him furious as he looks at him.
Donovan who knows the fact from Carlos about his 'mom' whom the entity was talking about also looks at him with sharp eyes for he never thought that.
"( He knows about Carlos's mom being his fake mom, too? )" Donovan wonders for he recounts that only he was the only one told by Carlos himself about this very fact.
As the two boys thought to themselves about that, the other entity begins the conversation.
" So after I formally greet your names...., it seems I will continue to the main topic of my required presence here," he says to the two boys.
" *Deep breaths*...., the Shard...!!! " he says with a serious tone to Donovan.
" Now!!! " he orders which make Donovan had to return it back to his Inventory with a great sweat.
"( Why I'm feeling threatened? )" Donovan wonders for he asks himself how he was immediately threatened and cornered by someone just by listening to their voice alone without any magical pressure or threats whatsoever.
Seeing Donovan's actions, the other entity then asks if Donovan is alright as he orders Donovan to give the Shard without any resistance, so they can end this debate in peace, without any more fights or threats.
" No!!! " Donovan says.
" Whoever you are and wherever you are right now, I won't give the Shard until Grimdark's last wish is fulfilled...! " Donovan states.
After Donovan says the word, the entity begins to think as he replies, " Grimdark..., you say? "
" I see..... " he says while laughing menacingly.
" So you're the one who killed Draco... " he says to Donovan who then replies for had no choice but to tell him the fact that he killed him in combat which made the other entity laughs even more.
" Marvelous, marvelous.... " he laughs.
" How very competent I am to quickly make you spill the truth with just a mere portion of my presence... "
" I must say, I was quite shocked to hear the truth during your fear... "
" It made me quite...., happy.... " he says while slowly approaching Donovan and lowering his body.
As he lowers his body in front of Donovan, he then looks at him with a menacing smile while Donovan still struggles to maintain his own emotions to face the other entity.
"( He's too close, even without him showing off his power, there is something of this 'other entity' that bugged me including how he or she perhaps, expresses with using investigator Richard's face. )" Donovan thinks to himself.
" Oh really, does Draco's death not offend you at all? " Donovan asks.
" Hehe..., of course not. "
" Why should a 'trash' like Draco's death offend me at all? " he asks.
" And by you can proudly say this, Donovan... "
" I take it Selena's death is also done by you..., is it not? " he asks for the other entity making investigator Richard's face that he or she possessed to get closer near Donovan's private space.
Seeing that behavior, Donovan begins to push Richard's body for the possessed investigator then stands up as he looks at Donovan who becomes more sweaty.
" I take it as a yes..., then... " he says while closing his eyes and smirking.
" Oh yeah? " Donovan asks.
" What will you do now, now that you have the truth spoken in front of you? " Donovan adds another question to get more answers from whoever possessed the investigator which he then laughs and says.
" That is what I need to know, for now, Donovan Richter-Grimshaw... " the entity says as he then uses whatever of his ability as he telekinetically pulls Richard's sword back into his hands.
" After all, instead of being angry with you... "
" I must say that your actions on killing the two trash from the Nyx Nocterra House made me.... "
" Pleased... " he says as he wants to walk away.
" Wait!!!!!! " Donovan calls him before he leaves.
" Anything else you want to speak, to please me? " he asks Donovan who is having deep breaths after just calling into him.
" The Memory Shard!!! " Donovan says.
" Hmmm... " the other entity says.
" You said earlier that this Shard originally 'will' belonged to you... "
" And yet, after you see it where it was taken with, you chose to leave as if it does not matter to you anymore... " Donovan adds while looking sharp at the possessed investigator Richard.
" So...? what are you saying? " the other entity asks while looking at Donovan with elegant sharp eyes.
" Do you not pleased with the mercy I gave you? " he asks.
" Of course not, whoever you are!!! "
" Of course, a person would be asking this question for this kind of mercy... "
" As if our confrontation and dialogue earlier meant nothing at all... " Donovan says to the person as he smirks after hearing that.
" You're funny, aren't you? "
" Huh? what are you saying? " Donovan asks.
" Of course that confrontation means nothing... "
" It was just a formal information gathering before I continue my work after this... "
" After all, most of my work here had been done by you without me even asking. "
" What a great coincidence or fate, isn't it? " the entity says while laughing while walking out of the room.
"( I didn't get it...)" Donovan says in his mind.
"( I didn't get it at all.... )"
"( All of this means nothing, all of this just happens because he was pleased. )"
"( Just who the hell... )"
" Who are you!!!!? " Carlos suddenly asks the entity.
" Carlos...? " Donovan asks as he was shocked that Carlos will ask the question he thinks in his mind coincidentally.
" Oh hohoho, it seems all of you are getting interested in me even though I'm not physically here, aren't you? " he says to both of the boys, especially Carlos who is still wondered on how the hell this 'other entity' who possessed the investigator got any idea on his 'relationship' with his mom, even though he still tries to hide any concern of asking it directly which could make him more certain about the truth even more.
" Answer my question... " Carlos orders and the entity replies.
" I'm a member of the Nyx Nocterra House... "
" That is what you two ... 'royal' children need to know..., "
" For now... " he says as he leaves while laughing, leaving both Carlos and Donovan drowned in sweats for they never had such a menacing experience even though they were not fully engaged in a fight.
"( By the Mana, how menacing that was...!!! )" the two say in their mind.
"( We were not fully engaged in a fight, but this conversation alone is enough to kill us. )"
