Even a villain makes a good parent p4

"There you are!" Lady Orange said as she spotted Kimberly in the dinning room with Muriel and Thorn, helping them to set the table as quietly as possible.

"What are you doing here missy?" Lady Orange said smiling a little, "Oh no! You've spotted us! were you looking for me Milady?" Kimberly asked surprised.

"Not exactly, though I was worried since Sir Valentino's arrival, you have gone to the bathroom and never came back." Lady Orange replied.

"I was coming back, but then they asked for help preparing the dining room for lunch." Kimberly said hinting at the royal couple.

"Sorry we borrowed her, we needed an extra hand to help, but did not want to disturb the others while they talk...We sort of wanted to surprise you people with the food." Muriel explained.

Smiling, "I was actually going to get some water from the kitchen then maybe go out for a bit of fresh air, but I suppose a home cooked meal would do better...Did you make this by the way Sir Tang?

Splendid work, The smell is marvelous!" Lady Orange said.

"Thanks I guess." Thorn replied annoyed.

Sighing, "It has been ages since I ate a home cooked meal outside my own home...the last time was since my last visit to Bardales's House, I was much more younger back then and The Bardales's twins were just born.

Ferdinand and Faustina Used to invite me from time to time to their house, but that time was the last and they also made Pasta that day.

This brings out some memories I had buried deep down." Lady Orange said chuckling at the food.

"Ferdinand and Faustina?" Kimberly questioned, "Those are Fernando and Faunus's parents." Thorn said.

"You know them personally?" Lady Orange asked, "No, he must have heard about them from Fernando." Muriel replied to her frowning.

Thorn chuckled as he wondered whether Muriel's frown was out of jealousy, so he decided to test it, " While I'm currently living my happily ever after With my Mate." Thorn said wrapping an arm around Muriel's waist, "There was a time before that where Fernando and I were a thing...Freddie might've being secretive, but I managed to open his heart to me, a little." He added.

Removing Thorn's arm from around him "Well I am most certain you opened more than his heart, or perhaps you have reached his heart through an opening that has already existed." Muriel said jokingly, he knew what Thorn was doing, "What the hell Muriel?!" Thorn didn't expect he'd feel embarrassed by Those words.

Their little exchange, earned a big loud chuckle from Lady Orange that sounded like a snort, "Oh my forgive me! haha!" She said laughing, "But That was one clever response your Majesty." she added.

"No need to address me as a royal, I am no longer a king." Muriel said.

"I'm a bit confused about everything that's happening around here, but I have to admit, I'm quite jealous of all the couples in here." Kimberly spoke-up.

"You don't have anyone like this, Kim?" Thorn asked, "No, I'm a certified single lady, seems like no one likes it to put a ring on it." Kimberly replied chuckling.

"Take advice from me, do not just focus on Those you fancy, focus on those who fancy you as well!

Thorn fell for me first you see." Muriel said proudly, "Wow, bragging are we?" Thorn replied smirking, "But you're right, I did fall first...and I'm proud of that." He added kissing Muriel's cheek.

"I think what is best to do darling, is to focus on yourself First, if love was meant for you, it will come to you itself.

You just have to put efforts when it comes." Lady Orange said smiling

Suddenly, "A good advice from a questionable source." Thorn commented making the smile on lady Orange's Face flip into a frown.

Nudging his boyfriend, "Thorn, stop it!" Muriel whispered.

"Are you perhaps, referring to me as the 'questionable source'?" Lady Orange asked.

Ignoring Muriel's warning, "I think you know the answer to that Lady Boring...sorry I mean Orange." Thorn said smirking.

Glaring, "Your majesty, I advice you to watch what you are saying." Lady Orange replied.

Kimberly and Muriel shared a look, they could feel the tension was about to rise again, so they tried to interfere early.

"Thorn, let us continue setting the table! the others must be starving." Muriel said while pushing Thorn away.

"OH Right! Lady Orange, I believe you said you were thirsty! let's go get you some water." Kimberly said, dragging Lady Orange with her outside the dinning room.

...Meanwhile...

The last thing Fernando expected, was getting ambushed by Someone as he left Grey's room.

"I need to talk to you for a moment." Nashoba said, "Jeez you startled me!" Fernando replied annoyed.

"Are you done with the half vampire?" Nashoba asked,"You're talking as if I was fucking him." Fernando replied scoffing.

"Wasn't that what you were doing inside? because I'm pretty sure that's what I saw." Nashoba replied back.

"You were peeping?! What the fuck?!"

"Do you have anything to do with Edward's death?"

Stunned, "Huh?! you're joking right now?" Fernando asked.

"I'm dead serious."

"Nash, That girl Monique, Moni, Monika whatever the fuck is her name, she killed him not me! why would I be responsible?!"

"You Were smiling when you saw his body." Nashoba said.

"OH FUCK ME?! you caught a smile and now suddenly I'm guilty?! of course I was smiling, that bastard got what he deserved!"

"What about the whole 'I certainly would be pissed if someone took my opportunity for revenge' thing that you said?" Nashoba asked.

"I said it because I meant it, I don't like people taking anything that belongs to me including my chances of Revenge, it doesn't mean I did anything to Edward?!"

"So you swear you have nothing to do with Edward's death?"

Sighing, "No You idiot, I didn't do shit!" Fernando replied annoyed.

"Good, because as much as I hate to admit it, that guy's death is an inconvenience to Big brother, he needed whatever he could get of information from Edward but now he can't do anything concerning him...Big brother didn't even get the chance to use his ability on Edward." Nashoba replied.

"Listen, truth to be told.

I offered Ned to kill Edward before this whole thing happened, and Ned refused.

He made it clear to me that he needed the guy alive, so I wouldn't be stupid to go after Edward, besides I don't have a motive to kill Edward other than to help Ned, and since Ned refused, my hands were tied." Fernando said.

Sighing, "I'm sorry i doubted you, I don't know why I believed you could've done something...maybe because I saw you and that guy...doing it." Nashoba said.

"Eww! Let's hope it's not jealousy, cuz you're not my type." Fernando replied.

Embarrassed, "You're not my type either! and it wasn't jealousy...I don't know why I was just concerned for you that's all...I don't trust that Grey Boy."

"You don't trust Grey? why?"

"If I didn't know now that you have nothing to do with Edward's death, I would've thought you and Grey worked together to kill him...though I'm not sure why that thought came into my mind." Nashoba explained.

"You think Grey has something to do with his brother's death?"

"I think that Annoying woman didn't kill Edward alone.

I spoke with Ramon before he left about the circumstances of the murder.

Since I'm basically a medic, I've offered him my opinion on the state of Edward's dead body..." Nashoba said.

...[Tiny flashback]...

"Can I...have a word with you."Nashoba asked, he tried to sound serious although it was almost impossible for him to hide his shyness from Ramon.

"Of course! though you have to make it quick...I'm supposed to go Escort Miss suspect." Ramon replied smiling.

"Umm about Edward...the guy was obviously and painfully tortured prior to his death, I don't think his crucifixion was just an artistic choice of body placement.

And I can safely say that his death was not an easy one either, I've inspected his wounds myself...The wooden stick in his heart was driven in slowly, the wounds were not made by a quick and powerful stab but rather a slow and careful one." Nashoba said.

"So you believe that Big brother's theory of Edward's murder being to Silence him, is wrong?" Ramon asked.

"Yes...I believe whomever killed him, hated him with great passion, even If that Monika woman did kill Edward after all, she was definitely instructed on how to do it."

"Well she did say she was hired by someone..."

Getting excited, "Actually there's something else I've noticed, and it doesn't have anything to do with the body." Nashoba said.

"What is it exactly?" Ramon asked, "Monika says she was contacted by someone anonymous through a phone call." Nashoba said to which Ramon nodded to.

"Monika was carefully contacted by that Anonymous person so she doesn't know their identity, which makes me believe she was also chosen specifically by that person.

The person who orchestrated this murder not only knew Who's Monika, but how to contact her as well, they also had a vast knowledge of big brother's hotel.

That woman was guided through every step, and she wouldn't be caught if she just left the crime scene instead of attacking me." Nashoba explained.

"What do you mean by left the crime scene?" Ramon asked, "You've surly have noticed that the blood coming from Edward's wounds, was fresher than it should've been, meaning the murder might've happened shortly before big brother and I discovered the body." Nashoba explained.

Smiling again, "You should've joined the FBI academy! you have a talent for this kind of thing!" Ramon's said patting Nashoba's head.

Blushing, "That was...nothing worth complimenting." Nashoba replied.

"No it was! and you're right, I've noticed most of these things myself." Ramon said.

"Oh! I guess I wasted your time then." Nashoba said embarrassed.

"No, You've helped confirming things for me, though we still have another mystery to solve...the vampire boy." Ramon replied.

"Yeah! how did Grey end-up in the crime scene? him being back to his original body doesn't make sense too." Nashoba asked.

"Come to think of it, Miss Monika said she doesn't know how Grey ended-up in the room either, though she didn't say that he wasn't in the room when she killed his brother...I'll ask her about it when I interrogate her properly this time." Ramon replied.

"Won't you ask Big brother to use his ability?"

"Now that this case is officially the FBI's, Big brother's ability can't be used.

It's actually a secret to the FBI division, I'm the only one who knows of it there." Ramon explained.

...[End of Tiny Flashback]...

"It's certainly weird, why not ask Ned to use his ability on Monika?" Fernando asked.

"Apparently big brother is forbidden from using his ability to interfere with an FBI case." Nashoba replied.

"Speaking of FBI's...About Ramon, you better seal the deal with him, before someone else does! from what I've heard that guy is a perfect match for you.

You should be worried about him sleeping with other people, not me." Fernando said smirking.

Blushing, "Hey! talk about yourself! Why were you even playing with that Grey boy!" Nashoba asked.

"Meh, I don't care for Grey, he was just feeling sad like I was so I've helped him.

I mean we both lost the guys we love to a Valentino, and the fact that I have the same face as my brother probably helped Grey to cope with the pain." Fernando explained.

"Grey has feelings for Faunus?"

"Yeah, he's also his adopted cousin too if you don't know already.

He and Faunus have a great relationship, well I'm not sure that would last with Jasper around..." Fernando said.
