Morning was approaching noon, the warm sunlight shone on my face, making me feel comfortable. The wind blew strongly outside, carrying the fresh aroma of the shady trees. I saw a large tree that looked comfortable to take shelter under, and I began to stretch out on it, enjoying the cool breeze.
Some time later, I almost fell asleep, but the sound of footsteps approached me.
"Hey, you're here?!" Zeco sat down beside me with a friendly smile.
I turned around, "Hmmm, hihi. I'm just taking a short break here."
"It's okay. Hey, about this morning, did your friend pass out again?!" Zeco asked, holding back laughter.
"Pffft, Hahaha, that's true. Maybe he never expected to meet someone as big as him," I replied, laughing loudly.
"Hahaha, who would have thought that," Zeco joined in the laughter, making the atmosphere more lively.
The sound of footsteps was heard again from a distance, a servant approached us who were laughing loudly, wanting to convey something.
"Hello, young masters. Sorry to disturb you for a moment, but Master Murphy is waiting for your presence in his room," he said with a low and polite tone.
"Hey, what's going on?!" I asked, confused.
"I don't know, let's go. We have to meet him," Zeco suggested, standing up and looking at me.
The servant helped us stand up, "Alright, master. Follow me," he began walking ahead of us with slow steps.
"So, you're leaving soon?!" Zeco asked while walking beside me.
I nodded slightly, "Yeah, I think so," I replied.
"Hmm, I think Master Murphy will discuss this matter," he replied, looking up and furrowing his brow.
"Hey, I think you're right," I said, thinking about what might be discussed.
"Alright, we have to meet him. Then, find out what Master Murphy wants," Zeco said, speeding up his steps towards Murphy's room.

Some time later, we arrived in front of his room. The servant opened the door slowly in front of us with a friendly smile.
"Alright, young masters. Master Murphy is waiting for you inside," the servant said, inviting us to enter.
"Thank you for everything, sir." I smiled slightly.
We began to step into the room, which was very spacious, filled with interior and expensive items hanging on the walls, radiating a luxurious and elegant impression.
"Wow, I didn't expect there to be a place as magnificent as this." I was amazed in my heart.
I saw Murphy sitting on a majestic chair, like a king sitting on his throne, with a calm and authoritative face.
We began to walk closer, sitting politely in front of him together with Zeco beside me, with slow and careful steps.
"Hello Master Murphy. What can we do for you, sir?!" I asked with a soft and gentle tone, looking at Murphy's face with respect.
"Hello too, son. Please allow me to take a little of your time. Are you really leaving soon?!" He asked clearly.
"With all my heart, sir. That's true. Is there anything you want, sir?!" I asked again, with great curiosity.
"Of course, son. I want to discuss your previous presence here. Allow me," he said with a gentle tone, nodding slightly.
"Of course, sir. What do you want to discuss?!" I replied with increasing curiosity.
"I was a bit surprised by your presence with a few companions. And I would be worried if you went to Iceland like before," Murphy said with a worried tone.
"I understand, sir. But I'm already prepared to face whatever happens," I replied confidently.
"To reduce my worries, please let my brother Zeco accompany you on your journey. I'm sure he will be very helpful," Murphy said with a slight smile, looking at Zeco with great hope.
I was taken aback by his request, "E-ehh?! Of course, of course, sir. I'll also be happy to have a new friend," I smiled slightly, turning around to look at Zeco who was also surprised.
"Really, sir?! Is this really real?" Zeco exclaimed with great surprise, looking at Murphy with wide eyes.
Murphy looked at him with a slight smile, "Haha, of course, my brother. Come here, give me a sweet hug," he said with a warm tone, opening his arms wide.
"Thank you, sir." Zeco was carried away by the atmosphere, quickly running to hug Murphy.
