A.N : I apologise for the she's not even a girl sentence from the previous chapter.
I know it's a bit offensive but I wanted Kinn's hatred for the girl to be evident.
I might have went way too overboard though and for that I'm sorry.

Mile's P.O.V:
I sat down on the bed and waited for Apo to come.
After a minute or so the door opened and he walked in.
"I...Ummm...Do you have something you want to tell me?" He asked.
I nodded so he grabbed a chair and sat down in front of me.
We just came back from our visit to that blind girl so I know exactly what he was curious about.
"I know you're not him...But can't I call you that? Please...Let me call you that" I said.
Then put my hands on his cheeks and leaned my forehead on his shoulder.
"What was he like?" He asked.
I looked up and nodded again.
"He was kind...Stubborn but not as much as you...A bit slow...But he was also so brave" I said as I recalled Apo's personality.
Then rubbed at my eyes when I noticed that I had tears falling down my cheeks.
"He was my friend...My one and only friend...And the only one who could make me smile when I was sad...He was funny and knew a lot of tricks...He was a sorcerer...So he was feared by some people...But not me...I never felt scared of him because I knew who he really is deep down" I said.
Porsche's P.O.V:
I felt like crying for some reason.
It wasn't like me to get this emotional but this was probably a one time thing.
He described Apo with such longing that his emotions reached me right away.
"Please let me call you by his name...You're the only thing that reminds me of him" He said.
I pursed my lips into a thin line and nodded slowly.
"Ok" I murmured.
It was such a bad idea...But I couldn't bring myself to refuse.
He was so desperate to get him back that he clung to me as soon as we met.
"Did you ever tell him?" I asked.
He shook his head.
I sighed heavily and nodded.
"It's something I'll regret for the rest of my life" He said.
I patted his shoulder then wiped away his tears with my fingertips.
"What good would it do for you to cry now?" I asked.
He leaned his forehead on my shoulder again and started sobbing as he hugged me tightly.
(Meanwhile)
Pete's P.O.V:
I paced the room back and forth.
It was the first time for me to leave my master's side.
But he said that it was fine since Apo's lookalike will never hurt him.
So I agreed and that's how I found myself in the house of Bible's lookalike.
He sat down in front of me and put down two grey cups.
"Do you want to have some?" He asked.
"What's that?" I asked.
"Beer" He said.
Then raised one of the grey cups to his lips.
It also looked strange from up.
"How do you open it?" I asked.
He let go of the cup he was holding and put it on the table then took the other one.
I gulped down some of the beer from the cup he let go of.
"Hey...That's mine" He said.
It taseted bitter.
But I swallowed it anyway and made a disgusted face.
"So bitter...How can you drink that?" I asked.
Then smiled at him.
"Do you have some sugar?" I asked.
He nodded and went to bring it to me.
I started adding sugar to the strange drink.
"You know that it's supposed to be drunk as it is right?" He asked.
"Your name...What is it?" I asked as I stirred the drink after adding the sugar.
"It's Vegas" He said.
Then sipped his drink again.
I sipped the drink and it taseted even more horrible then before but I still swallowed it out of proper manners.
Vegas's P.O.V:
I looked at Pete's uncomfortable face and chuckled as I shook my head.
I reached out and took the can from him.
"Well...What do you want to drink? I'll make it for you" I said.
"Anything but beer" He said.
I nodded and stood up.
I made him something sweet.
"Oh come on P'Vegas that hot chocolate is mine" Macau said whining.
"I paid for it so it's mine" I said shrugging.
Then put the glass in front of Pete.
"Here...You can try that" I said.
He nodded and started sipping it.
His face lit up in obvious happiness and he started gulping down the chocolate.
"Wait" I said.
He reached the end of the cup.
"What?" He asked.
I took the cup from him and stirred it to mix the chocolate at the end of the cup with the remaining milk.
"Here...Drink it in one go" I said.
He looked at the cup skeptically but gulped it down anyway.
He put the cup down and smiled brightly and I smiled too because he had a chocolate moustache on.
I ruffled his hair.
"What are you doing?" He asked frowning.
"There's a lot you need to learn here kid" I said.
"Hey...Who are you calling kid? I'm actually old enough to be your oldest grandfather" He said indignantly.
"You don't want me to teach you then? I mean...We'll have fun for sure" I said.
Then patted his head.
He blinked twice and I frowned in confusion when he suddenly leaned into my touch.
So I cleared my throat.
"Tell me your story" I said trying to start another conversation.
"What story?" He asked.
"Who are you? How did you start working for the royal family?" I asked.
"Hmmm...Well...I grew up at the palace because my parents and grandparents worked there...I became the prince's head guard when I was fourteen" Pete said.
"Fourteen? Isn't that too young?" I asked frowning.
"I'm that skilled" He said smiling.
I chuckled and shook my head.
"Well then...Teach me" I said.
The history homework is covered as long as this guy stays in my room.
(The next day)
Kinn's P.O.V:
I opened my eyes and sat up with a start.
My sleep was cut short again and that same headache took over.
I put my hands on the sides of my head in an attempt to ease that pain but it was futile.
I started breathing heavily.
The first time I had this stroke was when I was ten.
And it tired me out to the point that I almost died.
I clutched my chest where my heart was as it got even harder to breathe.
There was a knock on the door.
"Mr Kinn? It's time for..." The voice which belonged to P'Chan said.
"Help me" I said in a strained voice.
The door swung open immediately and P'Chan rushed in.
"Mr Kinn...Just calm down ok? Lay back" He said then helped me to lay down.
Then started performing the breathe easing techniques.
I started breathing normally after that.
"Slowly...Calm down" P'Chan instructed.
I followed his advice and started breathing slowly.
Until I finally calmed down.
He helped me sit up.
"I'll tell someone to bring the breakfast here" He said.
I nodded.
After I was finally feeling better I decided to go for a walk.
The strokes happened once every year.
In that day I'd feel strong pain all over me especially in my head.
Then troubles with breathing.
I put on my earphones and started walking aimlessly.
After some time I arrived at the shop I liked so I went in and ordered some coffee.
The door of the shop opened and a tall guy walked in.
"Oh...Porsche...Do you want the usual?" The shopkeeper asked.
"Yes...Thank you" Porsche said smiling.
I winced in pain when the headache came back.
Then he took the coffee and left.
As soon as he left...The pain in my head was gone.
What the hell? How?
I walked out of the shop hurriedly to try and catch up with him but he was gone as if the ground swallowed him whole.
"Young man...Do you still want to order?" The shopkeeper asked.
I turned to him and nodded.
"I'll take the same thing he just took" I said.
The shopkeeper nodded and started preparing my drink.
I thought about how to find that guy as I sipped my coffee calmly.
(Meanwhile)
Pete's P.O.V:
I woke up and walked out of the room trying to find Vegas.
He was doing something on that thing he called computer.
I walked over to him.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Oh...You're awake? Good morning" He said.
"Good morning to you too" I said.
I read the name Bible so I guessed that he was researching him.
"I can tell you if you want...I mean Bible was a member of the royal family" I said.
He shook his head.
"He doesn't concern me...I'm more curious about how Apo died" He said.
I pursed my lips into a thin line and nodded slowly as I looked at the floor awkwardly.
"I was tasked with keeping him company but when I went to get food he was gone...Next thing I know his dead body was floating with the fish" I said.
"There has to be a reason right?" He asked.
"But who will find out that reason?" I asked.
"The blind girl said that there's someone who saw everything...If what she said was true then that person is lurking somewhere near us" Vegas said.
I nodded in understanding.
"We'll have to find that person somehow" Vegas said.
"But how are you going to start looking?" I asked.
"Hmmm...That's easy enough...We're going to set a bait" He said.
A bait?
"Do you think that the person who saw everything is different from the person who came here with us?" I asked.
"I don't know...It's a theory though...But if we don't move along with my plan then we'll never know" He said.
"So what's your plan?" I asked.
"Porsche will be that bait" He said.
Vegas turned the computer for me to look at.
"And the one he should lure out is that person" He continued.
The computer had a picture of a man with black hair.
"The prince?" I asked frowning in confusion.
"No...This one is called Kinn Anakin Theerapanyakul" He said.
