4. Stealing The Diamond
For about three hours, Matteo was accompanied by Laurent and Secretary Mancini around the shopping center. To be honest Matteo felt really bad, especially towards the secretary who was made to carry all the things he bought. Even though Matteo actually bought only a simple pair of shoes, Laurent chose the rest unilaterally.
They arrived in front of a department that sold musical equipment.
For a while, Matteo did not realize he was standing in front of a display of a cello. He is mesmerized by the fancy thing.
Laurent is staring at him.
Laurent Guillermo
You want that?
Matteo Serafini
[flastered] Ah—no... Um, I just ... never saw cello that have those fretwork.
Laurent Guillermo
[looking at the cello]
Laurent Guillermo
You can have it.
Matteo Serafini
No... it's too expensive
Laurent Guillermo
It's only one million euro.
Laurent Guillermo
Secretary Mancini will get the cello for you.
Roberto Mancini
Yes, Your Majesty.
Matteo Serafini
Ah...! Wait...
Matteo could only watch as Secretary Mancini walked inside the music store and talking directly to the cashier, requesting to buy that cello.
All of sudden, Laurent's phone ringing loud enough to attract Matteo's attention.
Laurent Guillermo
[talking to the phone] What?
Laurent Guillermo
[giving a sign to Matteo] stay here. Wait for Mancini.
Laurent walking away from Matteo's side to a little bit of the corner to continue talking through the phone.
Matteo nervously standing there. He doesn't really know why, but he feels unsafe without Mancini or Laurent's company beside him.
While giving several glances towards the secretary who takes way longer than he thought, Matteo did not realize someone was walking close behind him. Sneaking.
And then Matteo felt someone hit his nape hard enough to make him fainted.
Unbeknownst to Laurent and Mancini, Matteo is taken away from there by a group of people.
About 5 minutes later, the secretary came back with a cello.
He was petrified as soon as he saw Laurent standing outside alone. The man's face was icy cold with clenched jaws.
Roberto Mancini
Your Majesty, I—
Laurent Guillermo
Find them.
Laurent Guillermo
Bring the people who took Matteo.
Laurent Guillermo
Or I will rip the hell out of your face.
Roberto Mancini
[bowing] apologize, Your Majesty.
Roberto Mancini
I will tell the others to separate.
Meanwhile in Konstantin's headquarters
Ilya Konstantin
Look what we got here...
Matteo Serafini
Who are you...?
Ilya Konstantin
[chuckles]
Ilya Konstantin
What a nice little boy.
Ilya Konstantin
You look really... young.
Ilya Konstantin
The Guillermo choose you, eh?
Matteo Serafini
Wh-what do you mean?
Matteo Serafini
Where is this?
Ilya Konstantin
Easy, easy.
Ilya Konstantin
I am Ilya. From the Konstantin.
Ilya Konstantin
Right now we are at my HQ. Moscow. You probably did not realize because we took the fastest flight from Shanghai to Russia.
Matteo Serafini
M-Moscow...?
Ilya Konstantin
Hey, listen here.
Ilya Konstantin
Laurent will come to get you soon. You are a bait, anyway, for him to come here.
Ilya Konstantin
[laughing softly] It's so hard to get in his touch these days.
Ilya Konstantin
Probably because he is too busy to find a perfect bride in order to claim his throne.
Ilya glancing at Matteo who nervously nibbling his lips. The boy looks so scared and uneasy.
Ilya Konstantin
You are Laurent's bride. Am I wrong?
Ilya Konstantin
I guess the long silence means I'm right.
Ilya Konstantin
Laurent really took a shortcut. And he found someone interesting.
For a while, Ilya only stares deeply towards Matteo. He, then showed a very friendly smile, which caused thrills all over Matteo's body.
Ilya Konstantin
But before Laurent comes,
Ilya Konstantin
How about we go for a dinner?
