VICTORIA, OR HOW I LEARNED TO LOVE NIGHT MUSIC
Chapter 13: It's A Family Affair...
The castle was _very_ quiet the next day. I went outside to find the
guard posts and souvenir stands deserted. There was a big, crude, hand-
painted sign on the outer gate. It said, "CASTLE CLOSED" in big, black
letters. Victoria's plan was working so far; I just wished Haruka Ayase were con-
scious to enjoy it. Unable to do anything about Victoria's condition, I
busied myself in the kitchen. I was happily munching a cholesterol-laden
breakfast when I heard a voice. "Hello? Is anyone here? Please?" It was
Agnes.
I walked to the foyer. Upon seeing me, Agnes fainted. I rolled my eyes.
Gee, I always wanted to have that effect on women. I knelt next to her,
patting Haruka's hand gently, waiting for Haruka's to come to.
