He was lying on the ground, he saw the basement lights shining upon him, he turned a little sideways, he saw a pair defibrillators lying there connect to some socket in the darkness.
He sat up breathing heavily, Tom was also sitting, looking at him with surprise,
He swallowed his saliva and said, "Lucky bastard"
Smile looked at him surprise, he didn't know what had happened to him, the last time he saw something was when he was cut in half by Ava with mystical forces,
Smile asked, "What happened to me*
Tom touched his head and started to speak, "Your heart stopped beating for some reason, we found you in that state just after 5 minutes luckily, your body was already cold, you had 5% chance of coming back alive after using defibrillators, but it did work and here you are sitting up like a ghost"
Smile looked at him in surprise, it was just like in dream but instead his heart was stopped in real life, he could consider himself lucky to coming back alive like that.
Tom continued, "Young madam would've murdered me, if something happened to you"
He was sweating a lot, so was Smile since he didn't have the privelege of having fan, he had already adapted to the heat.
Tom threw some ration packets and hurriedly moved up.
Smile was now in a confused state, he had now confirmed that his dreams could cause real damage,
But how is that happening and why so, he wondered.
He could still feel the pain around his entire body due to being slashed in his dream.
Smile satiated his hunger, and drank a lot of water, he wanted rest, so he slept....he slept for an entire day and through the entire night.
Basically he slept for 24 hours because he was extremely tired of the damage caused to him.
He woke up extremely hungry, luckily he still had the food of lunch and dinner with him by his side.
Soon he heard someone running down the stairs, it was none other than Elena.
She ran towards him and hugged him, Smile didn't even attempt to hug her back.
She told in his ears, "I've really missed you, Smile"
He had a cold expression on his face, soon came Tom, behind her.
Elena slowly loosened her grip and stood straight.
Tom asked, "Young madam, who was the spy in the 2nd step"
Smile became extremely attentive.
Elena replied, "Oh, the spy was Valera"
Suddenly his heart shook, he couldn't even think of anything for now.
Elena continued, "She is a professional killer, with extremely good instincts, I assume you finished her off after she won the Russian Roulette, right Tom?"
Tom affirmatively replied, "Yes ma'am"
Elena added on, "Well she is useless to me, as her only job was to keep a close eye on Smile and report it at the last to you, so Tom? What did she say"
Tom replied in a little frightened tone, "She didn't complain anything young madam"
Elena looked at Tom with a cold expression for a few seconds, and suddenly became joyful, "I knew it, my Smile wouldn't do anything bad,
Alright then meet you later dear"
She went back with Tom.
Smile sat straight thinking about it, If Valera was professionally trained, how was she missing Evelyn so easily in the first test, was that on purpose.
Well whatever it was, if she had survived for more, he would've been eventually caught with Evelyn.
Talking about Evelyn he remembered, 'I wonder what she's doing'
*****
Evelyn came out of a car whose door was opened by a butler, she slowly entered the mansion, and looked at a several servant, they all bowed, "Welcome back, Young madam"
She nodded her head, and went into a room, full of dresses like a closet, she got ready, combed her beautiful hair, wore an elegant looking dress, and she came outside the room, she was accompanied by several maids to the stairs above, there was huge painting lying on the centre, it was of a princess whose face was smudged with the paint, making it unable to see.
Soon Evelyn was accompanied behind a curtain and was let go by the maids.
She took a long breath in and went in, several number of people were bowing their head, there were 100's of them, and all wore same sort of clothing.
There was lady beside her standing, holding a crown, it was her mother.
Soon Evelyn sat on a throne on the middle of a balcony like setting, and looked at the army.
Soon her mother spoke, "Honourable members of our family, today I'll announce you our queen, Evelyn Sylvie.
People looked at straight to her with determined eyes to pledge their loyalty to her,
Her mother came in front of her with a bright smile, and crowned Evelyn with the crown.
