This is the second part
It was hard to get any useful information from Shiori, my notes were filled with tangents without any real progress on my studies. All my efforts were in vain as we always trailed off to different topics. However, she seemed happy that there’s finally someone to talk to, not just other voices in her head.
“What interests me more is your former titles.” She grinned as I spoke, waiting for me to elaborate further.
“Certified doctor, Mycology authority, Professional pianist, Cult core member, Best selling author…” I raised my eyebrows. “…and princess?”
“Is fulfilling my childhood dream a crime for you, professor?” She argued with an innocent tone, pouting her lips.
“Well is causing a cruel revolution and thousands of casualties also your childhood dream?” I asked, reading the documents.
“ All royal members went missing as this tax haven crumbled into ashes, years of civil war followed along with billions of dollars worth of treasury…”
“Are you here to accuse me of all that?”
She interrupted with a funny tone while relaxing on the coach, like I was merely reading a comedic fiction.
“You won’t believe me if I denied, and get nothing new if I admitted.”
Shiori leaned forward, staring at me with her breathtaking eyes. She was humming a medley I’m not familiar with, while her gaze made me feel like my soul was scanned thoroughly. At last, she spoke as she leaned back to the couch.
“If you truly want to understand me, those reports and files in your hands will only take you so far.”
Suddenly a faint bang from outside and the room shook a bit. I heard footsteps getting louder outside, but I couldn’t take my eyes off her.
“You thought this was the end of my story.” She giggled, pointing at my documents. “My dear professor, that was merely the end of the beginning.”
Emergency bell started ringing and someone was banging heavily on the door. I was paralyzed in my chair while Shiori gradually stood up and walked to the entrance.
“ I hope you enjoyed your time with me, professor, but I have to end things here.”
Several gunshots can be heard through the door, mixed with desperate screaming. I fell on the floor shaking, unable to reply with a blank mind. Soon complete silence filled the room, no more sound but my own breath can be heard. Shiori stood next to the door, looking down on me with enjoyment.
“I’m writing a new chapter.”She gave me a warm smile. “ If you want to be in my story, feel free to join.”
Before I could respond, the door opened.
