Watching Over You
Chapter 3: Playing The Part
Before getting off the bus, Heero perfected his voice acting and his geek acting, and developed a fake name; Marvin Terrance. Marvin made his way to the Sanc Palace and was let in after the guards heard he was booked in to speak with Relena. He kept his back straight and act precise as he approached her.
Relena stood in the large main hallway. Paperwork filled her arms and look of distress filled her face. Her hair was out and long and she wore a lavender suit with a white blouse and white shoes.
"Miss. Relena Peacecraft," Heero spoke, his voice shaky and warm, "I'm Marvin Terrance. I'm from Derlan High School. I'm here to write a report, study and learn about how the Sanc Kingdom works and makes decisions and so on." He held out his left hand; the right arm holding onto a clipboard stashed with lined-papers, and a pencil clasped on the metal clip of the brown board. They shook hands after Relena gave a friendly smile, making Heero smile back, "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Marvin." She glanced around, scooping out the body guards, then added, "I have to finish this paper work by tonight, but if you like, I can have some of the maids and butlers show you around-oh, how long are you staying here, by the way?"
"One week." Heero said, not letting a catch of his loose. Relena smiled again, "Alright-Pegan, will you please show Mr. Marvin around? Thank you." She bowed to the two men and gave Marvin one last look, "It was a pleasure."
Heero carefully watched Relena walk away and held back from sighing as Pegan led him around the palace.
Relena reached her office and sighed, shaking her head. I'm glad the Sanc Kingdom's youth is interested in their country's ruling-but now is not the time to have a fifteen or sixteen year old boy taking notes in the palace... After those threats this palace has been a danger-zone... And if anything were to happen...
She bit her bottom lip and shook off the thought. There's no point in thinking that way... Need to ne positive...
The palace was the same as it always was, not a place for Heero. Everything was elegant, clean, and just not his style. Even to this day... He quickly recognized his distaste for the 'rich-look', but cautiously wore an impresses expression.
"Everything here is amazing!" Marvin said in awe. Pegan nodded, "The palace is a very special place... And it is also a very special home..." The old man's words were true, it was Relena's home.
"I'm sorry you weren't able to visit Miss. Relena. Maybe tomorrow she'll allow you to join her as she does some paperwork. That's what you're here for, right?"
"Yes." Heero nodded. Pegan smiled, "I'm sure she will invite you. She has a lot of work to do, though..."
Heero saw plainly that the Sanc Kingdom, or Relena, was keeping the threat letters top-secret. And they should... Heero thought.
