The Case of the Stolen Gift (Part 3)

*Three hours to the main event*

Gandalf: She looks like a marshmallow.

Shadow: She looks like a white cloud.

Gandalf: I want a marshmallow.

Shadow: Let's go to the kitchen.

Gandalf: We are not allowed in there.

Shadow: Moira will try to sneak in and push her cake inside.

Gandalf: …

Shadow: Shall we?

Gandalf: After you.

A black elegant cat with bright red eyes was seen resting in the back of a white beautiful dog with amazing blue eyes. The path they followed was known as the road to the stomach joy, the lead they followed was known as the happiness fragrance, and the eyes that followed them were known as the loyal subjects that bowed to the true Masters of the house.

The two fluffy and beautiful creations of the world were well-known as the only creatures in the castle that can manage the most strange and crazy pair of little girls. Only their tempting fur and their hypnotizing eyes could calm the absurd spree of their Masters, though, it was never in exchange for nothing.

The King and the Queen knew what they need to give in order to receive the cooperation of a certain white dog and, of course, of a certain black cat.

The list included,

1. A wide garden to run,

2. A fluffy bed to rest under the sun,

3. Food. Dog food prepared by masters,

4. Food. Cat food prepared by masters,

5. Toys, a supply of toys enough to last for a lifetime,

6. A smile and the caressing hand of the beautiful Queen,

7. The sweet and gentle smile of the Crown Prince (applies only to Shadow).

*Two hours to the main event*

'The Cake is in the kitchen,' Moira signaled Calum.

The pair of red-eyed now were moving stealthily around the bushes of the garden. Their clothes were formal, though, black as always. However, that didn't diminish to any degree their beauty, even more, their pale faces with their delicate features were more outstanding than ever.

"Mm," Callum nodded at the sweet little girl. Some hours ago he had helped her decorate the cake as a present for the Queen. It was his task after she managed to bake it. The decoration couldn't be described with word other than fabulous.

It came as a surprise how the terrifying man could create such amazing decorations, the way he used the cream sleeve was as if he had done it many times before. Even the pastry chefs were stupefied at the talent of the tall man, which made him less terrifying than before.

'We did a perfect job this time,' Moria smiled as she remembered the small cake with a filling of chocolate cream and pink flower decorations.

"Yes, she will be delighted," Calum patted the lovely hair of the red-eyed girl. "Let's go."

Then they proceeded with the next mission. They jumped again the wall, though they didn't need to. However, time was pressing for they had many orders to accomplish that night after they managed to escort Victor inside the castle.

However, their path will never be peaceful, there will be many obstacles in their way that they had to evade in order to move forward. The many walls around the castle were such a hassle for their speed.

"Ahhh!"

The scream of a maid woke up the soldiers on the sides of the Castle wall.

"It was Moira and Master Callum!"

The same maid screamed again to stop the soldiers from coming.

"Ahh!"

Again another maid screamed.

"I am okay!"

The numbers of maids and soldiers screaming only indicated the pass of Moira and Callum Storm.

However, not many knew about the strange habits of the pair of poker-faced weirdos, for example, the guests invited to the castle.

"We are under attack?!"

"Protect the Queen!"

"My Queen, I will give my life to protect you, don't you worry."

"God save the Queen!"

The King was only looking at his dazzling wife with admiring eyes, such a woman was now his wife, however, he was also jealous.

"Stop everyone!"

His deep voice sounded so angry that everyone stopped talking almost immediately.

"Don't you dare flirt with my woman!"

"…"

"The only one to protect my dear lady will be me."

"…"

Queen Elisa was happy but at the same time, she wanted to smack her dear husband's face. There was no danger around, they knew very well who was the one scaring the maids.

However…

"Don't worry, my Queen! I will detain those daring to bring harm to you!"

The magic cloud of wizard Druon came that instant, he looked cool in his white cloud flying around the palace hall. The crowd didn't stop cheering him and praising his bravery.

"Live long Wizard Druon!"

"Live long the one who brought us the happiness cure!"

"Wizard Druon, you are so handsome!"

The same wizard was now throwing flirting gazes at the young ladies dying for a glance. However, someone else was not in the least pleased.

"Neo," the King whispered in a soft murmur barely audible for the common human, "give me…"

From the back, a knight in black clothes appeared like a puff of smoke. Then he bowed politely at the King and gave him an instrument used to eliminate any target.

"Which one, Your Majesty?"

"The double one…"

The loyal knight bowed again saying a pray for the poor soul that dared to stand before the King.

"Here it is, my King."

The King moved back and stood on top of his throne. Her Highness could only observe the show without doing anything, her husband was faster than her as she had also called her loyal servant, Mina, her woman bodyguard.

"Don't forget the cloud, my dear."

"As you wish, my darling."

The King prepared a long arrow and with a swift movement of his hands, he let it go.

The idiotic wizard was still gloating on the crowd when an arrow grazed his beautiful face. He looked over to the King that was now smirking but the wizard didn't have any chance to retort when the magical cloud disappeared from the hit of another quick arrow.

"AH!"
