Torn Between Love and Duty
Chapter 19: Painful Discoveries...
Natsume's POV
"What is going on...?" I calmly question a certain masked man sitting in front of me.
"..." He ignored my question and continued to read his files.
I banged on the table. "I said... what-is-going-on?!"
He finally looked up. As if piercing through his mask, I can feel his cold gaze on me.
"Sit down, Natsume." He urged me.
I have no choice but to obey obediently.
He smirked at me. "Can I help you...?"
...I really wanna tear his head off...
Ignoring my alternate ego, I calmly glare at him and said, "Why is Mikan here? Now, in this building?" I can feel my voice rising. "What the damn hell is she doing here?!"
After a long pause, he finally said, "I see..." He continued. "Is that all you want to know?"
I ignored his comments.
Reaching for a file, he placed it on the table.
I can feel my head spinning, my palms sweating. I couldn't focus on everything around me.
"Everything you want to know is in here..." He smirked again. "Don't worry, nothing bad will happen to your precious princess..."
I grabbed the file and turned around.
"Oh... and Natsume...?" He stopped my track. "Don't strain yourself too hard... I don't want you to suddenly die at a time like this."
I can feel my pace quickened and everything was blurry.
Slamming the door shut, I nearly collapsed on the floor.
I took in sharp breaths.
Damn... This Alice is eating me alive...
Sometimes... I wonder... How much long can I live...?
Will I.. be able to protect her at a time like this...?
I shook away these thoughts and slowly leaned on the wall for balance.
I entered my room and switched on the lights.
It's still early... She's not back yet...
It's kinda ironic when I felt relief and disappointment at the same time...
Placing the files on my table, I can feel my heart pounding every passing second.
Maybe... I'm afraid... whether I'm ready to accept the truth or not...
Clenching on my fist, I opened the file.
First page:
Mikan Sakura. Both parents died and at the age of 10, she was chosen as AAO's secret spy. Personally trained by Persona. Feared for her alices, nullifier and copy cat. Important for the AAOs to destroy the Alice Country. After a few years of training, Mikan Sakura suddenly blocked all contact to the AAO and attempted rebel against the organisation.
She was trained by Persona and rebelled against him...?
I guess this is why I was needed to bring her back to the AAO...
But... some of the page is torn out...
I wonder... why...?
I turned to the next page.
Second page:
Yuka Azumi. Biological mother to Mikan Sakura. Once was the most important special agents of the Alice Country. She quit her job after she was married. Asked by King Narumi to prevent the fall of Alice Country when the war broke out. Reports claim that Yuka Azumi was a previous lover to King Narumi. After the death of her husband, King Narumi proposed to her and took her as his wife. After suffered from severe depression, she committed suicide.
I paused for a while. Mikan's mother... she committed suicide?!
I calmed myself down and breath in slowly while read on the next page.
Third page:
...It's blanked..? ...How come...?
I turned to the next page. King Narumi... I flinced a little as i read on.
Fourth page:
Narumi. The King of Alice Country. Biological younger brother to Serio. After the previous King deceased, he claimed the throne that was once rightfully belonged to Serio. Reports claimed that the heir to the throne was poisoned and killed before the coronation. After Narumi became the new King, a sudden war broke out. He sought help from the Sakuras and after the death of Yuka Azumi's husband, Narumi forcefully married Yuka as his bride and adopted Mikan Sakura as his daughter.
Damn... This is... so damn messed up...
I sigh and stared at the ceiling.
Suddenly, a thought hit me.
I quickly turned the pages.
...Who is Serio...?
Fifth page:
Persona. Previously known as Serio. He was the heir and supposedly claim the throne after the deceased the previous King. Surviving the poison set up by Narumi, he organized the AAO but refused to become the leader. He was mainly responsible for the war that claimed thousands. During the war, he found Natsume and decided to take Natsume as the spy of AAO. After he found out about Yuka's death, he personally trained Mikan.
...I don't understand it... Persona...? Serio...? They are the same person?!
I turned to the next page. Ruka Nogi.
Sixth page:
Ruka Nogi. Once a commoner of the Alice Country, he was secretely adopted by King Narumi. After knowing that Mikan Sakura was trained by Persona, Ruka Nogi was assigned to seduce her to prevent the success of AAO. After a few years Mikan and Ruka met, Mikan suddenly block all contacts from the AAO. It is leart that Ruka successfully persuaded Mikan to fight against the AAO. Attempted murder was made against Ruka Nogi but was unsuccessful. His alice is unknown and reports claimed that Ruka Nogi wanted to claim the throne in some incidents.
How could they control Mikan's feelings like that?!
Is she...
...Just a tool for them...?
A weapon for them to gain victory...?
I slammed down the doccument and tried to regain my emotion.
Suddenly, a small piece of paper fell down...
I picked it up and read on...
It was discovered that as Mikan uses her alice, part of her lifespan shortens. It was found that Mikan was diagnised with an illness from Natsume after she copied his alice in order to complete a mission...
...From that piece of paper...
...I almost screamed...
...As i found out...
...My world collapsed...
