Conclusion~
"Are you on our side now?"
Ano kaya itong iniisip ni Xavier? Anong balak niya? For sure he has something up his sleeves. He won't bother asking such question kung wala.
"Ms. Clardia, I think someone's approaching," mahinang sabi ni Sgt. Harvey.
"Wait, a little more time Sergeant. I should hear his reason."
"Just say 'yes' or 'no'. I'm not that patient." muling sambit ni Xavier.
"Y-Yes, Prince." narinig ko namang sagot ni Celeste.
"Then—"
"Sgt. Harvey, what are you doing there?" napalingon ako sa aking likuran ng marinig ang boses ni Mr. Lincoln. Nakatingin lang siya kay Sergeant at hindi nagbababa ng tingin sa'kin. Sinara ko nang dahan-dahan ang pinto.
"Lt. Neud ask me to guard the study, Mr. Lincoln." sagot ni Sergeant sa kanya.
"For what reason?"
"Not mentioned."
"Let me in."
"Give me a second, Mr. Lincoln. Lieutenant said that I should knock on the door thrice before I could open it." sabi ni Sergeant at tumango naman ni Mr. Lincoln.
Nakakapagtaka talaga, parang hindi niya ako napapansin. Kahit naman nakaharang sa'kin ang malaking pangangatawan ni Sergeant ay syempre mahahalata at mahahalata pa rin ang presensya ko. Pero sa pagkakataong ito, tila multo ako na hindi nakikita.
Sgt. Harvey turned around me. I shot him a gaze but, he didn't reciprocated my action.
"I made you invisible for a while, Ms Clardia. Abscond now." he said as he knocked on the door beside me.
"Really? That's great," tugon ko naman at ako na ang nagbukas ng pintuan.
"Ms. Clardia, no. It will only last for—" hindi ko narinig ang sasabihin ni Sergeant dahil diretso na 'ko pumasok sa loob.
I saw Xavier sitting on his throne, his elbow on the top of the table and the end of his fingers touching each other. In front of him standing, is Celeste who's playing her fingers. Lt. Neud is just beside her, standing as well.
Kasunod ko na rin pumasok sa loob si Mr. Lincoln. He roam his eyes around the room before fixing it to Xavier and bowing down.
"Prince," he said. Tumango sa kanya si Xavier and he positioned himself behind him. May binulong pa siya dito bago umayos ng tayo. Xavier roam his eyes as well then, look straight after.
"Where are we again? Right. If you're loyal to me now, as the General of Eros Kingdom, you should surrender everything you knew about Ursaminor. Cooperate with us to track them down." Xavier said with his intimidating aura all over him.
"I-I will, Prince. I-I will tell everything, a-although... I don't actually know a lot... I'm s-sorry," Celeste stooped down her head. Napalingon sa kanya si Lt. Neud.
"That will do. Tell me." Xavier leaned forward a bit on the table.
"I-I learned the thing about Ursaminor from an old woman in a department store. She told me that they can help me with my h-husband. She told me that they will give me protection from him as long as I will join them. I-I immediately agreed. I'm desperate. I can't tolerate R-Rigel's maltreatment to me anymore..."
