Fiona left Roselande and set off for the Weimar Realm. Meanwhile, Remy and Casper stayed in Roselande for now. This time they were not traveling by train or ship, but by an airship located at the harbor.
Casper: "Goodbye, Fiona… and Cossette."
Jade: "I hope we see each other again…"
Fiona: "Goodbye…"
Jade held Fiona's cheeks.
Jade: "I hope we see each other again…"
Fiona: "I hope so too…"
Jade: "You too, little Cossette, be good."
Cossette: "Mm."
Fiona: "Take care of yourselves… and you, Casper… please take care of Remy… and tell him that toothaches are okay… he has a dentist appointment…"
Casper: "Hmm?… okay…"
She boarded.
Jade: "What dentist appointment?"
Casper: "He doesn't have one…"
(Meanwhile)
Remy: "Hahhh… will I ever see her again…"
Remy had lied. He had no doctor's appointment. He just couldn't really say goodbye to Fiona, because he likes her…
Jade: "Remy?… What are you doing here? You missed Fiona's airship…"
Remy: "I know…"
Jade: "Is everything okay…"
Remy: "Sure…"
He looked at the lake.
Jade: "Hmm…"
She sat down next to him.
Jade: "You'll miss her, won't you…"
Remy: "I will…"
Jade: "Tell me, Remy… could it be that you love Fiona?"
Remy: "…I don't know for sure…"
Jade: "Hmm…"
Remy: "What is it?"
Jade: "Well, I understand you… I'll miss her too… It was only four weeks… but I'll miss her…"
Remy: "Hmm…"
Jade: "Casper said you don't have the magazines anymore… what did you do?"
Remy: "I threw them away."
Jade: "Why?"
Remy: "I don't know… they're old… and most of them are Naomi, and she quit… that wouldn't be polite to her…"
Jade: "I understand…"
She looked at him.
Jade: "(He misses Fiona more than he admits… he loves her…)"
(Meanwhile)
Fiona: "Hmm…"
Cossette: "So this is an airship… I've never been on one… and you?"
Fiona: "I have. Weimar is located a bit higher in the clouds. Weimar is also one of the largest kingdoms, the third largest after Skandinova and the Slavic Kingdom."
Cossette: "How many kingdoms are there?"
Fiona: "Hmm… well… there are different kinds. Besides kingdoms, there are also Castles… have you heard of those?"
Cossette: "No?"
Fiona: "Castles are huge cities, you can almost compare them to a kingdom. The difference is simple: they are inside one giant castle… Then there is also Forestland, kingdoms in forests that live with nature… And there are also running kingdoms, moving kingdoms…"
Cossette: "Like one that flies on a ship?"
Fiona: "Mm. Elversberger. It is the biggest airship…"
Cossette: "Wooow…"
They looked up. A moment where you could see the whales better… A whale swam right beside them…
Cossette: "A whale!"
Fiona: "Hehehe…"
You could see the mountains, the clouds, the sea, and the cities. You could still see Roselande. Fiona looked back one last time…
Fiona: "(Remy…)"
Cossette: "Fiona?"
Fiona: "Yes?"
Cossette: "Do you love Remy?"
Fiona: "Why are you asking that now…"
Cossette: "I think you fit together…"
Fiona: "We don't… He likes women with a great figure…"
Cossette: "But you're pretty…"
Fiona: "(Sweats… but I don't have a big chest… it's more average)…"
Cossette: "I had the feeling Remy loves you…"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Cossette: "Yesterday I saw him throw away the magazines… and he stared at your door for a long time…"
Fiona: "Uh… really…"
Cossette: "Mm…"
(Meanwhile)
Unknown woman: "Hello, handsome, do you want to have some fun with me?"
Remy: "Sorry, not interested…"
He kept walking.
Remy: "(After meeting Fiona, I'm not sure I want to do that anymore. I don't know why, but… I think Fiona was simply good. She had a normal figure, but I liked her a lot.)… Hmm… excuse me…"
Unknown woman: "Yes?"
Remy: "(At the same time, I probably won't see her again.)… I have time…"
(Meanwhile)
Fiona: "Hmm… so what do you want, hmm?"
Cossette: "Shouldn't we save money… you said that…"
Fiona: "Oh… mm."
She knelt down and stroked Cossette's hair.
Fiona: "For you, we don't have to. So tell me what you want… food, drink…"
Cossette: "I want something… to eat that makes my hunger go away…"
Fiona: "You're hungry, I see… hmm?"
Cossette: "Preferably something with meat…"
Fiona: "Then how about that one there. It's rice, meat, and sauce, with spicy sauce on the side…"
Cossette: "Oh… spicy, I like spicy…"
Fiona: "Okay… then we'll get two right away…"
Cossette: "Okay…"
Cossette is 11 years old, has freckles, dark hair, likes to wear a hat that looks like a cat, and has brown eyes.
Fiona: "Hm."
They ordered the food and sat down. Cossette started eating.
Cossette: "Mmmm… delicious…"
Fiona: "Hmm, Cossette?"
Cossette: "Yes?"
Fiona: "You still had the chance to stay behind. You came with me anyway… why?"
Cossette: "Mm… because I like you…"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Cossette: "You found me… you searched for me… you let me hold your hand even though it annoys you. When I'm scared… you stroke me… You know, Fiona… to me you're like a sister, or a young mother… I like you… and I want to always stay with you…"
Fiona: "Even if it's dangerous?"
Cossette: "Mm."
Fiona: "I understand…"
Cossette: "Hmm…"
Fiona: "I'm glad you're with me…"
Cossette: "Mmm… ugh… what did you say… did you just say you're glad… that I'm with you?"
Fiona: "Mm… because of you, I can finally be with someone… I'm glad you're here… You're like a little sister to me… and it doesn't annoy me when you hold my hand. I'm sorry… I just… don't really know how to handle it…"
Cossette: "Do you like me?"
Fiona: "You're important to me. The most important person…"
Cossette: "After Remy?"
Fiona: "Ngh! (Blushes)…"
Cossette: "Hehe… I'm happy…"
Fiona: "Huh?"
Cossette: "Can you say it… you love me?"
Fiona: "Not here where people can hear us…"
Cossette: "Hmm… hehehe okay, then later…"
Fiona: "Hmm…"
(Step) (Step)
Someone walked past Fiona. Right then, she felt a dark aura.
Fiona: "Ugh!!!!"
It felt like a dark corner… like many hands were coming from it, touching her inner organs… even stroking them…
(Stroking the heart)
It stroked her heart and her chest…
Fiona: "Ughh…"
But it suddenly vanished…
Cossette: "What is it?"
Fiona: "Hahhh… what?… nothing… (…what was that)…"
(Meanwhile)
(Step) (Step)
The Jester: "(Step) (Step)… airship… hmm… humans can be interesting too… hhhmmmmm…"
Several dark beings appeared from his back…
The Jester: "Hehehehehehe…"
(Back to Cossette and Fiona)
Cossette: "Sleep… sleep…"
Fiona: "Calm down…"
Cossette: "I can't, I'm going to sleep in a room while we're flying… hehehe."
Fiona: "Mm… alright. Here, take this…"
She gave her pajamas.
Cossette: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Naomi gave this to me before she left…"
(A few days earlier)
Naomi: "I'm sorry I caused you trouble…"
Fiona: "You didn't really… it's okay…"
Naomi: "Here, take these clothes."
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Naomi: "They belonged to me when I was 10 and 11. There are also outfits for ages 12 to 16. For Cossette, that would be good…"
Fiona: "You don't have to."
Naomi: "Oh come on… they're too small for me now, hehehe… I have to go soon…"
Fiona: "Okay…"
Naomi: "Thank you very much, Fiona, and please give Remy and Jade my thanks too…"
Naomi grabbed her things.
Naomi: "Goodbye…"
Fiona: "Goodbye."
Naomi kissed Fiona on the forehead.
Naomi: "Take care of yourself…"
Fiona: "I will…"
She left the house…
Fiona: "Hmm…"
(End of the memory)
Fiona: "They're yours now…"
Cossette: "Huh… really… hehe, thanks…"
Fiona: "That's from Naomi. Go to the bathroom, brush your teeth and change there…"
Cossette: "Okay…"
She went in…
Fiona: "Hahhh…"
Fiona took off her jacket. Under it she wore the Victorian collar blouse… hahhh…
(Meanwhile)
(Step) (Step)
The Jester: "(Yawns)… looks like most of them are in their rooms… hehehe…"
(Back to Cossette and Fiona)
Cossette: "Done…"
Fiona: "Good… then come sleep now…"
Cossette: "Fiona…"
Fiona: "Yes?"
Cossette: "…um… can I sleep next to you?"
Fiona: "Why? There's another bed…"
Cossette: "Well… um… we did it at Naomi's house…"
Fiona: "She only had one bed…"
Cossette: "Mmm…"
Fiona: "Hahhh… okay, okay… come here. Stop sulking."
Cossette: "Ugh… really…"
Fiona: "Yes, come…"
Cossette: "Hehehe…"
Cossette lay down on the bed…
Cossette: "By the way, Fiona…"
Fiona: "Yes?"
Cossette: "You can answer my question from earlier now. Do you love me?"
Fiona: "Ugh?… (She still remembers)… um… (blushes)… yes… I love you…"
Cossette: "Hehehe… finally you said it. Do you know how happy that makes me…"
Fiona: "Hmm… (Do you know how uncomfortable this is for me)…"
Cossette: "By the way, Fiona…"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Cossette: "I think you're beautiful…"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Cossette: "I mean you're beautiful like a princess…"
Fiona: "But I'm not one…"
Cossette: "That's just how you say it. I mean you're beautiful… and you have a nice figure too…"
Fiona: "Ugh… who taught you words like that…"
Cossette: "Oh… Remy always says it when he sees a woman…"
Fiona: "(Remy, I'm going to kill you when I see you!)…"
Cossette: "Are you not allowed to say that?"
Fiona: "(Cough)… better not…"
Cossette: "Hmm… nobody will say anything like that about me anyway…"
Fiona: "Hmm? Why, what do you mean… do you think you're not pretty?"
Cossette: "I have dark hair, freckles… my friends said women with freckles are unattractive…"
Fiona stroked Cossette's hair…
Fiona: "That's not true at all… you're cute…"
Cossette: "You think so?"
Fiona: "You're cute…"
She started stroking Cossette's cheek with her finger…
Cossette: "Mmm…"
Fiona: "Hehe…"
Cossette: "Hmm…"
Fiona: "Come on, sleep now…"
Cossette: "Okay…"
They lay down properly on the bed…
Cossette: "Mmm…"
Fiona: "(Eyes closed)…"
Cossette: "Mmm…"
Fiona: "Hmm?…"
Cossette: "Oh… um…"
Fiona: "(Smiles)… hehe, come here…"
Cossette: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Come…"
Cossette moved closer and rested her head against Fiona, between her chest and neck. Fiona put her hand on Cossette's head.
Fiona: "Just ask…"
Cossette: "Mmm… sorry…"
Fiona: "It's okay… I don't mind… (Remy was right… I probably need company… thank you, Cossette)…"
Cossette: "Fiona, you smell so good…"
Fiona: "Hmm?…"
Cossette: "And you're so warm… like a big sister or a young mother…"
She hugged her tighter…
Fiona: "…o okay…"
Cossette: "Mmm…"
Cossette fell asleep quickly…
Fiona: "Hmm… (Already asleep?)…"
She kept stroking her head…
Fiona: "Cute…"
(A few hours later)
Cossette: "Huh?…"
Cossette woke up…
Cossette: "I need to go to the bathroom… hmm?"
She looked at Fiona. Fiona was sleeping peacefully…
Cossette: "I mustn't wake Fiona… she works enough… and now she has to take care of me…"
Cossette quietly went to the door and left the room. She went to the bathroom…
Cossette: "(Yawns)…"
(Step) (Step)
(A few minutes later)
Cossette finished and washed her hands…
Cossette: "Hmm…"
(Crash!)
Cossette: "Huh?"
She slightly opened the door because she heard something…
(Step) (Step)
Cossette: "Huh?"
Unknown person: "No… no, stay away…"
(Splash!)
Cossette: "Ugh… huhhh!!!"
(Splash!)
Unknown person: "Urk… hahhhh…"
(Splash)… (Splash!)
Cossette: "Hahhhh…"
She covered her own mouth… and hid…
Cossette: "Mmm… mmm…"
She heard footsteps and something being dragged…
Cossette: "Mmm…"
She looked outside. Right then she saw it… the dragged corpse, or what was left of it…
Cossette: "Huh… mmm!"
She quickly covered her mouth. Whoever was walking stopped… Cossette hid quietly behind the door…
Cossette: "Mmm… mmm…"
(Step) (Step)
The person came in, looked around briefly, turned on the light… Cossette was lucky the door was open just enough that she was barely visible, and there was also a device in front of her… The person disappeared again…
(A few minutes later)
Cossette noticed no one was there anymore. Quickly but quietly, she went back to Fiona…
Cossette: "Mmm…"
She opened the door and closed it softly…
Cossette: "Hahhh… hahhhh…"
Fiona: "Hmm?…"
Fiona opened her eyes and saw Cossette trembling…
Fiona: "What is it, Cossette."
Fiona stood up…
Cossette: "Fiona… there… there is… there is someone who was murdered right in front of my eyes…"
Fiona: "What?!"
Cossette: "I… I was in the bathroom… and when I wanted to leave, I heard someone saying please don't scream… I saw how he chopped him up… hahhh…"
Fiona: "Where exactly?"
Cossette: "Near the bathrooms…"
Fiona: "Did you see anything else?"
Cossette: "I only know that… the one who got killed was an older man… I think… about sixty…"
Fiona: "I understand. Stay here…"
Cossette: "No, don't leave me alone…"
Fiona: "Ugh… (…right, she just saw someone get brutally murdered. I don't think she dreamed it. Cossette is usually a calm girl and rarely gets scared…)… okay…"
She went to Cossette and hugged her…
Fiona: "It's okay… I'm here… I'm here…"
Cossette: "Hahhh… who… was that…"
Fiona: "I have no idea… He won't hurt you…"
Cossette: "I saw something else…"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Cossette: "The killer… had red eyes…"
Fiona: "Red eyes?"
Cossette: "Mm…"
Fiona: "Alright, lie down again…"
Cossette: "Shouldn't we check…"
Fiona: "Is he still there?"
Cossette: "No…"
Fiona: "Then it won't help… rest… come…"
She helped her and laid her on the bed. This time Cossette didn't have to ask. Without permission, Fiona hugged Cossette.
Cossette: "Mmm…"
Fiona: "Easy, my little one… I'm here…"
Cossette: "…okay…"
(Meanwhile)
(Step) (Step)
(Red eyes)
(Splop) (Splop) (Splop)
Several human parts were hanging on the wardrobe…
(Step)
Killer: "Hahhhhh…"
He took off the mask and leaned back in the chair…
Killer: "Victim number 431…"
(Meanwhile)
Cossette: "(Zzz)… hahh…"
Fiona: "Good, she's asleep…"
Fiona stood up and quietly left the room. She wanted to see what was going on…
Fiona: "Hmm…"
She went toward the bathrooms…
Fiona: "It should be here… Cossette saw it here…"
She searched for blood…
Fiona: "Strange… the blood traces are gone… how can that be… did he wipe it…? That's hard in such a short time. And don't forget the person was cut apart. There should be a lot of blood… hmm…"
(Behind her)
(Step)…
Killer: "Hahhhhh…"
She didn't notice the attacker standing right behind her…
Fiona: "Hmm… water?"
She found water on the floor. When she looked, she saw it suddenly showed no reflection, like it was covered…
Fiona: "Ugh!"
She dodged quickly. The axe almost hit her.
(Crash!)
Fiona: "Ugh… hahh…"
Killer: "Hahhhhh… hahhhhh… hahhhh…"
He wore a mask… but the red eyes and that stare… full of murderous intent…
Fiona: "Hhahhh…"
Fiona jumped up immediately and started running. He chased her, his axe scraping behind him…
(Kzzzzz… kzzzzz)…
Fiona: "Hahhhh…"
Killer: "Hahhhh… hahhhh… stop… moving...…"
Fiona: "Hahhh… (I can't go back or Cossette will be in danger. I should go somewhere else.)… huh!"
She found a window…
(Kzzzz)
Fiona: "He's almost here…"
She looked down… it was pretty far, but she had no choice…
Fiona: "Okay…"
She climbed onto the window and jumped across to the other side…
Fiona: "Hahhh…"
She climbed up and hid in a small room…
Fiona: "Hahhh… hahhhh…"
(Kzzzzz… kzzz)
The scraping sound of the dragged axe…
Fiona: "Hahhh… (Is this a killer who randomly murders people at night?)"
(Kzzzz… kzzzzzz)…
Killer: "Hahhh...… hahhhh….. hahhhhhh...…."
He looked under the window, but saw nothing…
Killer: "Hahhh… hahhh… hahhh…"
And he left…
Fiona: "…Hhhhh…"
(A few minutes later)
She opened the door slightly…
Fiona: "He's gone… hahh?"
(Kzzzz) (kzzz)
Fiona: "No… he's coming back…"
Fiona looked at the window. She had no choice. She jumped…
Fiona: "Urk!"
(Crash!)
Fiona: "Mmmmm…"
She was in pain, but she stood up fast and hid so no one could see she had jumped from the window. He looked, but then left again.
Fiona: "…hahh… I can go… ghhhh…"
She held her stomach and looked down… there was a wound. A nail, probably a metal nail, was stuck in the area of her belly and waist. She pulled it out.
(Splash!)
Fiona: "Ghhhh… I… have to get back to Cossette… hahh…"
She hurried back. The killer didn't seem nearby. She reached the room, opened it, went inside, and even locked it…
Fiona: "Hahhh… hahhhh… Cossette… ugh, huh!!!"
Cossette lay on the bed, but… covered in… blood…
Fiona: "Ugh… hahhhh… Cossette… Cossette... ghhh…"
She clutched her chest and rushed to her…
Fiona: "No… no… ugh… hahhh… no, please… please, Cossette…"
(Tick… tick… tick!)
(Wooshhhh!)
(Dong!)
Fiona: "Huh!!!"
She was on the airship, but no longer in the room… she was back where she and Cossette had been eating…
Fiona: "Ugh…"
Cossette: "Fiona?…"
Fiona: "Huh!!!"
She looked ahead… there she was… Cossette…
Fiona: "Cossette… are you… are you okay?"
Cossette: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Hahh… but… what is going on… was that a dream?"
