After eating lunch, Hitomi goes straight back to her room. She was pondering about that mysterious voice. She went straight to her bed and fell into a deep sleep.
"Yes sir, I am asking for a day off. Just for one day."
"How about your work Hwang Ho? You have a customer to take
care of."
"I shall think of a way then sir."
"I can't give you a day off Hwang Ho, but you can have the
rest of the day. Just inform your customer you will be out for a while. Will
that be all right Hwang Ho?"
"Yes sir. Thank you very much."
"Is that all Hwang Ho?"
"Yes sir that is all."
"You may leave now."
"Thank you sir." Hwang Ho leaves the office and heads for
Hitomi's room.
"Van how can I help? Tell me! I want to help you!"
"I don't know how Hitomi. It's not yet confirmed. But I feel
there will be something evil coming up. I'm having these dreams and they all
have the same message. They come every night."
"Do you have any idea how I can get there?"
"No I don't, unless I go there and get you."
"You can't go here! You have no idea where China is! It's
too dangerous. My mom's everywhere! You can't risk your life just to go here!"
There was a knock on the door. Hitomi suddenly wakes up.
"Who can that be?! Now how in the world can I help Van?!" She goes to the door
and opens it furiously. "What?!"
"Uh…"
"Hwang Ho! I'm…I'm sorry. I was… uh…"
"I'm sorry Hitomi." Hwang Ho tells her. "Did I disturb your
sleep?"
Hitomi slightly
blushed. "Well… sort of… yeah. I got tired from our little saunter. Want to
come in?"
"No, I mean, thank you anyway Hitomi but this will just take
a little time."
"Why? Is there a problem?" Hitomi asks as she puts away her
bangs.
"Uhm, I would not consider it as a problem."
"So, what is it?"
"I came by just to tell you that I won't be here this
evening."
"Oh. Well… oh… okay. It's no big deal. Did you tell your
boss?"
"Yes I did."
"Why do you have to leave? Is there an emergency?"
"No, I have to talk to Gerlain about something important."
"Well, good luck… on whatever it is you're going to talk
about."
"Thank you Hitomi. " He bows politely and leaves.
"Uh, Hwang Ho?" Hitomi says just as he was about to turn
left.
"Yes Hitomi, what is it?"
"Please say hello to Gerlain for me."
"As you wish Hitomi. Anymore you would want to tell him?"
"No, that's all. Take care!" Hitomi says in a friendly, soft
way, as if Hwang Ho was an old dear friend of hers.
"Take care Hitomi." Hwang Ho smiles as he leaves the floor
on which the room of Hitomi is located.

Nighttime fell and
all of the people who were staying in the hotel were sound asleep... all except
for Hitomi.
"Oh, why can't I sleep? Is this insomnia already? Why? Why?
Why!" Hitomi tells herself as she sat on her bed. "If I can't go to sleep, I
won't be able to talk to Van, so I won't be able to help him, and all of
Fanelia will be destroyed!!!" Hitomi said quite pissed off already. "Fine! I'll lie down." And she did. She
tried closing her eyes. It didn't work. "Ahh! What is happening to this
world?!?!" She said standing up. She starts walking to and fro. She continues to talk to herself.
"It's her. I'm sure."
"Who her?"
"The weakness of the king we are supposed to defeat."
"I believe that you don't have enough proof to say that she is the one."
"Are you questioning my power? Are you losing trust in me?"
"No, just that she seems a little bit too normal… her family too."
"You are normal for their eyes. Not even she knows or detects you have that kind of power."
"That's because I know how to control my power."
"Some people detect power even though you try to hide it. You know what they say; every secret is revealed someway or the other."
"But, I can't possibly hurt her. No, I won't be able to do that."
"But why? Are you becoming weak already? We have been planning this for over 3 years now. You can't just back out that easily. Not at this point. We have gone so far."
" I won't back out. But, I will tell you again, I cannot and will not hurt her."
"Give me one good reason why you won't want to hurt her."
"…"
"I see. Silence is a sign of secrecy. Are you hiding something my friend?"
"No. Why will I hide something from you?"
"I don't know."
"Let's just get started shall we?"
"Yes we shall. We should wait for Cauchon (read as 'kaushon') D'Alencon to make our plans. I forgot to tell you that."
"Cauchon D'Alencon? Who is he? French I should say?"
"We'll talk more sometime. It's getting late. Get your rest and I'll introduce him to you."
"I shall go now. By the way, the king's weakness is giving you her 'hello'."
"Sweet lady she is. This is too easy."
