Omake: Alaude's Secret Romance

Part 3: Troubles?

Previously…

"It is such a shocking thing to be." She said.

"Aira." Alaude said as she went over to his seat and sat in front of him on the opposite seat, smiling broadly.

"Alaude." She said.

"What a coincidence to meet you here." He said.

"Well…more to it is such a shock to meet you here." She said.

"…" Alaude is obviously puzzled by her statement.

"This is my shop." She said.

….

Alaude was very surprised yet he was amused at the same time. The news were shocking but it is more intriguing to him that such an educated lady would actually opened a small café, rather starting a business by herself. Alaude knows of her family, her family business and most importantly the man her father is. It seems that Aira notices the question within his mind and started to chuckle before ordering one of her workers to come over and collect their orders.

"Yes, Miss Aira?" Her worker asked, bringing along a tray and smile warmly to her.

"Leona, would you take our order?" She asked.

"Of course, Miss Aira. What would you love to have?" The girl was brimming with joy as she took out a small note and pen from her front pocket of her uniform.

"Umm…let see…" Aira was clenching her fingers together, putting her elbows on the table thinking hard about her order. "Then…Lady Grey Tea with mango cheesecake." She said happily before eyeing Alaude, gesturing him to order as well. "Alaude?" She asked.

"Hn. What would you suggest?" He asked Aira

"…" Aira eyed him and suddenly curved a broad smile. "Tea or coffee?" She finally asked.

"Coffee." He stated.

"Then…I would suggest freshly brewed Robusta Coffee and Japanese cotton cheesecake. Would these suits you?" She asked with a smile.

"Sounds delicious." Alaude complement and nodded.

"That is all, Miss Aira?" The girl, Leona asked.

"That will be all, thank you Leona."

"Then, the order will be served in a while." Leona said and bowed lightly before heading towards the counter for the order.

Far deep in the Licht's family mansion, sat a blonde defying gravity haired man, frowning towards stacks of paper in front of him that seems to be no end. He sighed loudly after finishing another paper of paper works on his table. As he stopped to rest for a while, suddenly the door to his office was flung open. Lifting is head up to see who had barged into his office he sighed as he saw the familiar figure of his right-hand man, G. Another sigh escaped his mouth.

"G…can't you just entered my office quietly." Giotto said, almost sounded like a plea.

"A letter came from Alaude." G stated while holding up the letter with Alaude's seal on it, unopened.

"A letter? Can't he just give me a call or mail? We are living in the twenty first century for crying out loud!" Giotto said, frustrated.

"Maa…can't agree more but…it might be something important…I mean, he's visiting his parents, right?" G stated, trying to think up something rational or any other possible reasons behind the letter. "Just read it, Giotto."

Giotto sighed at that and started to open the sealed envelope to get the letter out for him to read. He slowly unfolded the letter to read its content when a twitch popped out on his forehead, clearly annoyed by the content of the letter. His grip on the letter proven it as he was clearly trying to keep himself calm before he actually tear the letter apart.

G, who was puzzled by Giotto's reaction decided to peer onto the letter, trying to read the letter to see what the problem was about. He was shocked by the content and slowly walks away from Giotto whom started to leak dangerous dark murderous aura out from his body, trembling with anger and clearly unhappy by the letter. G sighed as his head throbbed in pain, another headache.

"Alaude." Giotto muttered murderously as he crumpled the letter harshly, gripping it hard and hit both of his hand onto the table angrily. " I am not a psychic for god sake!" Giotto started to rattle on about it.

"G-Giotto…ca-calm down." G tried to calm his best friend slash boss down but it seems that his attempt failed.

"HOW CAN I CALM DOWN WHEN THAT F***ING BLONDIE SENT ME THIS RIDICULOUS KIND OF LETTER?!" Giotto exploded. "What is with ' Trouble. Late.', how can these two words can be considered as letter at all?!" G sweatdropped at that. "It's not even a sentence!" And once again, G sighed.

"Damn it, Alaude. You just have to anger Giotto when it's busy." G cursed in his mind and looked at Giotto before he made a frown, seeing Giotto whom will not calm down any time soon. He cringed and that. "Smartass, he just know how to avoid Giotto's wrath."

Days had turned into a week. It seems that both Alaude and Aira had met each other regularly at Aira's shop. They would always chat, well more to Aira is the one who do all the talking and Alaude would sometimes comment on something and yeah, peaceful conversation between the both. Alaude's mother had even sent someone to stalk them, taking pictures and take note on their conversation. Well, Alaude seems to notice this but he would just ignore it.

"You are returning to Italy?" Asked Aira as Alaude told her about his returns.

"Yes. I need to return to my post soon." Alaude stated as a matter of fact.

"I see…then it will take you some time before we meet again." Aira said. She looks down as realization dawn on her. She was twiddling with her straw, twirling it inside her glass, her eyes never leaving the said drink in front of her.

"…" Alaude seems to notice it and even he, himself must admit that he felt sad about it as well but his post as Giotto's Cloud Guardian is very important. "Here." He said as he wrote down his private phone number and email address for her to contact him.

"This…" Aira took the piece of paper and starts to brighten up a bit. "Is…is it really alright?" She asked looking a bit worried.

"It's fine. You can call me and mail me anytime." He said as a small gesture of happiness seep into him.

"Then…I'll do so." Aira smiles broadly as she kept on looking at the information, happy that she could still talk to Alaude even if it is not face to face.

"If there's any danger, call me." Alaude said, he was looking serious that it makes Aira to be puzzled by his words.

"Huh?" It was obvious that she was confused by Alaude's words. "Danger? I don't think tha…"

"Aira." Alaude spoke of her name tenderly. "Promise me." She was rather surprise to see such a worried expression on his face. Who says that Alaude can't make any expression at all?

"Alright." She answered as a broad smile started to curve on her face.

The clouds were floating on the sky, scattered through the vast said place. It was calm but the one watching over them is not. Sighs were heard, it was rare that the said person would sigh a lot in a day. Well, he had been throwing all sorts of expression and emotion lately due to the new acquaintance that he had made. He would need to leave later the evening and it seems that his heart was filled with some sort of ominous feelings.

"Sir Alaude." Greeted one of his men in his office as he had called them earlier.

"I want three men to watch over Miss Von Ashenbert. If anything happen that spells trouble and danger, report back to me immediately." He ordered.

"Yes, sir!"
