Return of the Polar Regions to the Ming Organization to resume their functions.
It was not the first time Dulcina Calvo went to the Ministries, Esteban Zaragosa had been called to speak by Orlondo Marta and Dulcina Calvo remembered Yanamaría Félix and ran to the infirmary to look for her.
“Miss Yanamaria!”
Yanamaría Félix turned at the sound of the voice and saw Dulcina Calvo’s cheerful face.
Yanamaria Felix let out a laugh, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, “So what brings you here?”
Dulcina Calvo laughed: “It’s a long story, I went back to Esteban Zaragosa. ”
“It looks like Esteban didn’t push you away or leave you behind this time. ”
Dulcina Calvo blushed slightly, “Miss Yanamaria, I’m going to tell you a secret.”
“What’s the secret?”
Dulcina Calvo leaned close to his ear, put her little hand over his ear and whispered cheerfully, “I’m pregnant.”
Yanamaria Felix had a flash of surprise in her eyes: “Yes you can Dulcina, it’s quite fast”.
Dulcina Calvo felt embarrassed and a little shy, “Don’t tell anyone about Miss Yanamaria, it’s not that there is any glory in being single and `pregnant’, I just feel close to you Miss Yanamaria, that’s why I’m telling you. ”
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. I’m happy for you and Esteban. Esteban is lucky to have you in his life.”
Dulcina Calvo is like a little sunshine, lively, innocent and sunny, with bright eyes and white teeth, not so much in terms of beauty, but with the vitality and warmth of a young girl, which is very healing.
Dulcina Calvo was embarrassed by the compliment: “Maybe I saved the galaxy in my last life and that’s why I met someone as nice as Esteban Zaragosa for me in this life. ”
…
Esteban Zaragosa’s face was stony after his talk with Orlondo Marta.
The words of my righteous father still ring in my ears –
“Esteban, I’m not going to stop you from wanting to get married and have children, it’s only human that you want to have a guardian, but you have to remember that the last thing you can have as a killer is feelings and a weak spot.”
“The more affection you have for Dulcina Calvo, the more dangerous it is for her as well.”
“Remember what I said, and maybe one day you’ll regret it.”
…
When Dulcina Calvo left Yanamaría Félix’s infirmary and came to look for Esteban Zaragosa, she saw the latter sitting alone on the edge of the stairs with a complicated look on his face, as if he were thinking about something.
He was always alert, but this time, Dulcina Calvo had come up behind him and he hadn’t even noticed.
He didn’t notice until Dulcina Calvo made a startled face.
“What are you thinking about, so engrossed in your thoughts that you don’t notice when I walk by?”.
Esteban Zaragosa froze, staring at the girl’s bright white face, slightly lost in thought.
Dulcina Calvo extended her hand and shook it in front of him: “Esteban Zaragosa! What’s the matter, doesn’t your honorable father approve of our being together?
“No.”
“Really?”
Esteban Zaragosa smiled slightly and reached up to rub her little head, his dark eyes burning into her, “No one can stop us from being together.”
Dulcina Calvo hugged him joyfully, her little face resting on his shoulder as she imagined the wonderful life they would have together.
…
The night before returning to La Ciudad Santa, Esteban Zaragosa sat in the moonlight chatting with Claudio Belles.
Claudio Belles had brought two bottles of wine and handed him one of them, but Esteban Zaragosa did not reach out to take it.
“I’ve stopped drinking.”
Claudius Belles, slightly dazed, hooked his red lips and sneered, “That White Wolf, who always had no fear of death, would now voluntarily give up drinking for the sake of his health. It seems that now he is indeed afraid of death.”
Esteban Zaragosa freely admits: “Now I have a weak spot in my heart and I have a natural fear of death”.
Claudius Belles narrowed his eyes after taking a sip of his wine and said, “Do you think the Master will let you go so easily?”
“He won’t. But I also have something that can threaten him. All these years in the Ming organization, I didn’t do it for nothing.”
Claudius Belles laughed a little mockingly, “We were both raised by him, now this seems like we are being condescending, have you thought that maybe one day the Master will send me to assassinate you?”
Esteban Zaragosa folded his arms and said faintly, “I thought about it.”
“Either you die or I die.”
Esteban Zaragosa turned his eyes to her and said, “If it comes to that, neither of us should have pity on the other, we are enemies then. You have rules you must follow, and I have things I want to protect. I will leave no stone unturned to survive your guns. And so will you.”
Claudio Belles smiled as he clutched the bottle, his eyes vaguely sour, “I really hope that day doesn’t come.”
“Not that this hasn’t happened before in the Ming organization, and even if it did, it wouldn’t be the last time. Back then, the honest father killed his best brother with his own hands.”
Claudio Belles frowned slightly, “You mean the deputy commissioner of the court?”.
“Yes, it was rumored that the Vice Court Chief had betrayed the organization and colluded with the Underworld Organization, so the Ming Organization unleashed all its forces to kill the Vice Court Chief. But time has changed, who knows what is right and what is wrong, history is always written by the victor.”
Claudius Belles: “If one day you and I discover that it turns out that the Master of the Court is nothing like what we thought he was, will you and I become apostates too?”
Esteban Zaragosa smiled faintly: “If that day comes, I will do it. I’m not afraid of becoming a deviant, I’m just afraid of losing what I cherish.”
“Esteban, there is something … I want to tell you. I didn’t pick the Benensin herb that brought you back when you were so poisoned in the Polar Kingdom, Dulcina Calvo risked her life to do it. When I found her, she was surrounded by wolves and almost died.”
Esteban Zaragosa’s heart was deeply shaken.
Is that why she dreamed that night that she was being eaten by wolves?
He clenched his fists, and the emotions in his chest seemed to surge as if to turn Esteban upside down.
As Esteban Zaragosa returned, Claudio Belles stood up and shouted at him: “Esteban, Dulcina Calvo is a good girl and I wish you all the happiness in the world”.
“You’re good girls too, and one day you’ll find your own weak spot.”
Claudio Belles laughed twice: “I don’t want a weak spot, a weak spot would make me weak.”
“A weakness makes a person weak, but at the same time, a weakness becomes a person’s strongest conviction.”
