212 The Letters

The oldest letter was sent one and a half years ago, and since then, at least one was constantly sent every day.

Yes, every single day.

Till now.

Without fail.

Not even once.

Sofony shivered and cried so hard at this discovery.

She didn't know what happened prior to that, and she actually felt scared to imagine what he went through before he managed to start sending all of these to her.

But at the same time, she felt like bursting from happiness because FINALLY, after three long torturous three years, she gained definite clues to his current conditions and whereabouts.

She could finally see him! Their meeting is close! Her intuition was telling her so!

Not only that. Gio did not forget her.

And just like she never stopped looking for him, he also never stopped trying to reach her!

'I've always known about this, but the man I love is really the best man in the world...'

Now that she thought about it, something must have happened if he couldn't contact her through her phone number or email.

Actually, it seemed there was also something wrong with the letters. She noticed that not a few were blank.

Why? Who would be so stupid to waste postage money by sending envelopes with only folded papers and stationeries inside?

At least, she was very sure that Gio wouldn't do that.

When she had the system double-checked the number of letters, it was about a thousand, 1033 to be exact.

But if he was sending one each day, it should only be more or less five hundred fifty.

'Some letters have the same sent-day... as if they were sent by pair. One is blank. The other is okay...'

'All of the okay letters have GA as the sender... His initials.'

She took a deep breath and carefully pondered over it. Not once did Conrad Albarez' name crossed her mind. But she couldn't make a definite connection or relation between the two.

Then she tried to consider what could be the reason why the other letters didn't have anything in them.

Actually, the norm in sending letters was to at least write the given name as a signature or sender. If her guess was correct, his name was censored? Once again, why?

One mystery after another kept adding on top of the other puzzles revolving around his sudden disappearance.

'... System, answer me. Under what conditions will things sent by someone, not reach the supposed receiver, specifically a host?'

'Don't change the topic. I didn't ask under what conditions 'I' won't be able to receive Gio's letters! I ask if it's someone else! Don't make an idiot out of me again. I know I won't be able to see Gio's records, not even through the List of Partners because something happened to him or the enemy who teleported him somewhere is stronger than me! This is the reason why I asked in a roundabout way right off the bat! Don't pretend that you cannot answer that!'

Restrained anger show on her face. Thankfully, only the assistant was with her, and he was busy driving to notice her.

A sneer resounded inside her mind.

'... I know. But I specifically want to grasp if there's a chance that the spell or command or skills to block can fade away in time, but very gradual and will only wear off little by little.'

Sofony ignored the scathing comment. Her fingers which very carefully and lovingly placed back the letters to the box were trembling. She held it on her lap as if it was a treasure and that no damage or any mishandling would be tolerated whatsoever.

There were still leftover tears framing her long eyelashes. And she appeared quite pitiful due to her tear-stained cheeks and red puffed up eyes. However, the look on her face was much calmer now and no thoughts could be seen through her expression.

When her assistant told her that they were now in the destination, she silently fixed herself.

Yet even as Sofony stormed into the humble office and demanded them explanations about the delay of the letters, the box didn't leave her hands.

Perhaps in the many days to come, or until Gio appears in front of her in flesh, this sizable object would always be within her arms reach.

People always cherish what they seemingly lost or obtained with too much difficulty.

In Sofony's case, this recently received item held the accumulation of her man's messages to her for the past years.

It was simply very dear and priceless, and she wouldn't exchange it for anything else in the world.

...

After the gentle interrogation she did with the people of the Flying Dragon Express, she confirmed quite a lot of things.

First, there is a chance it is really just as the system said. A spell or skill is in effect but it's already fading. Her heart grew cold when the possibility that it was a calculated time or move crossed her mind.

'It will be exactly three years since then... What's with this hunch that it's purposely set up?'

Second, the post office couldn't deliver the letters because all of them were blank at first and that they only discovered the ones with content yesterday. This was the reason why only today did an agent go to knock at her company's door.

When Sofony heard that, she held her breath for a long while. Another conjecture of hers was proven correct.

'This could really mean that Gio did send two letters with the same message everyday, one with his name, the other just with his initials... There is a magical something at work which I supposed always erases his traces or everything that is related to him in this city... or country... He must have guessed it because he knew it would be impossible for me to not reply even once.'

What a very frightening possibility...

It made Sofony released a freezing aura all around her since the woman couldn't stop worrying over what Gio went through all this time. The more she worry, the more her mind goes to the grey area.

The ones badly affected by her sudden outburst of bloodlust were the staffs of the courier company.

All of them wondered just how big of a crime their one day delay of delivering that package was. They felt fear for their lives since they remembered that Sofony Silver was a very influential business lady and from a filthy rich family too.

"Give me the address where it came from."

'Huh?'

Almost all of the staffs gave her a weird look. Wasn't that already in the letter or the logs where a parcel receiver must sign?

No non-host aside from main supporters would ever fathom the unpredictability of the immoral system and its host.

They didn't know that no such thing appeared in the letter or anywhere.

Why else would she go here if there was? She would have happily teleported already at the place to see Gio instead of speaking with these people!

"No one wants to answer me?" Sofony's gaze became threatening.

Gone was the naive, moral-compassed, and weak-hearted lady of the yesteryears.

In front of them was someone who would only feel bad for three seconds but still wouldn't hesitate once to force the company to close down this branch if they annoy her.

Realizing the intent behind the meaningful stares from her glittering eyes, the manager hastily and personally fetched the roster and checked their company records.

Sofony watched him work, bored. If only there was nothing blocking her from directly inquiring or manually collecting anything related to Gio, she would have long just hacked through their system.

After some time, the pudgy man with some sort of badge on his chest turned around. When he looked to be opening his mouth, Sofony's lips arced up and her eyes revealed a very bright and happy glow. She was ready to cast hypnosis once she heard the good news.

"Milady. I found it." The man paused for a while to write something. And then he turned around and bowed, both his hands respectfully handing over the piece of paper.

'It came from C Empire. It's a mansion from a village exclusive for known celebrities and elitists. Within the Empire's capital city, Jasmine City.'
