Enarys Shraon

Not only was the room luxurious, but when Nathan arrived at the hotel's dining room, he was amazed at the number of different types of food he could choose from at the buffet. So without thinking twice, he grabbed two plates and began to go around the tables taking all kinds of food to try.

For two months he had been eating calamity meat, and the food inside Khan's facilities was no big deal either. 

Taking advantage of the fact that everything was paid for by the organization, Nathan enjoyed the luxuries.

Sitting down at a table away from the center, Nathan began to devour the plates full of food.

He was dressed in casual clothes, so some people looked at him a bit strangely considering that it was the most expensive hotel in the city, but there were all kinds of exotic people, so they did not take much notice of him.

Nathan continued to enjoy his meal, then several minutes later an orb of light discreetly entered the dining room and approached him before disappearing.

'How did it go?' Nathan asked Amelia as he stuffed a piece of thin meat into his mouth.

'Everything is so different... the castle was luxurious too, but this place gives off a different kind of energy... especially since it's not full of calamities'

Amelia continued to tell him about the things she had seen around her, sometime later Nathan finished eating and leaned back in his chair contentedly.

It was only around five o'clock in the afternoon, so it was too late for lunch and too early for lunch, so there were not many people around, and most of them had already left.

Suddenly Nathan frowned as he felt several scent precessions approaching the dining room. He looked down the corridor connecting the elevator, the reception, and the dining room, and then several men in suits appeared.

Nathan frowned slightly as he felt that he knew these suits from somewhere but could not remember. Then a woman appeared behind the men.

The first thing Nathan noticed, was the woman's white hair that shone reflecting the light of the lamps.

'Why...?'

Time seemed to slow down as soon as the young woman began to turn her head in the direction of the dining room.

Nathan's eyes met the young woman's purple eyes and the two maintained eye contact for a couple of seconds that seemed like an eternity to him.

Suddenly the young woman looked straight ahead again, and time returned to normal. A couple of seconds later they crossed the corridor and disappeared from Nathan's sight.

Nathan paled and began to sweat slightly.

'They never told me she'd be here!'

Amelia had also seen the young woman and remembered the video Syril had shown Nathan a couple of weeks ago.

'What was her name...? Ah, yes, Enarys Shraon'

Nathan stayed a while longer in the dining room trying to understand why the ambassador of the northern islands was in the hotel.

Being such an important person, Nathan assumed that the government would assign her to a safe house or at least to a place to stay rather than a hotel. The only fact that Nathan overlooked was that the front palace hotel was not just any hotel.

Getting up not knowing what to think, Nathan quickly returned to his room before calling the soldier in charge of the mission again.

"Is there a problem? the soldier asked.

Nathan took off his skin mask in annoyance, leaving it on a table.

"Why is the ambassador from the northern islands staying here?!"

The soldier was silent for a couple of seconds.

Nathan knew it was impossible that Khan had overlooked such a fact, and they didn't know about it, so he assumed it was part of their plan.

"So the target has arrived"

"Target?!"

The soldier corrected his thought.

"Don't get the wrong idea, your job isn't to kill her, you just have to keep an eye on her"

Nathan simply sat down on the couch and covered his face with his free hand.

"Watch her…? She's got a dozen guards at her side at all hours!"

"Your job isn't to ask questions, it's to act"

Nathan gritted his teeth and looked at the cell phone in his hand before taking a breath trying to calm himself.

"...Right"

"It's good that you understand" The soldier said nothing and hung up the call.

Nathan stood still for a few seconds not knowing what to do before he put his cell phone down on the table in front of the couch.

Then he sighed and buried his face in his hands again.

"What kind of missions am I assigned to?"

Amelia stepped out of the silver bracelet and floated in front of him.

'Maybe they hold you in high esteem and give you the most difficult missions'

Nathan looked at Amelia with a tired expression.

'Or they want to make my life miserable'

Amelia fell silent and simply sighed internally.

Nathan dropped onto the back of the sofa and looked out the window. The sun was beginning to set and soon night would fall.

He had a lot of things to think about, so he preferred to go to sleep early and prepare for the next day.

When the sun rose over the horizon again, Nathan was already outside the hotel, apparently walking aimlessly with the cello on his back.

Stopping as he walked a little further away from the hotel, Nathan turned and looked around, especially on the fifth floor.

He knew that Enarys was staying on the fifth floor, but since he could not get there, Nathan had no way of getting close, nor did he want to.

It was not as if he always had to keep an eye on her, he only had to do it when he was inside the hotel, so in the meantime he was going to complete the new mission he had been assigned.

Nathan looked back down at his cell phone and frowned.

'Really?'

Nathan didn't understand the location he had been given, mainly because it was a random street market, but he didn't ask and just started walking in the direction of the market.
