NYXIE: THE LONG LOST EMPRESS (COMPLETED)

Chapter 25

I thought it'd be the last time I could see his face, but I was wrong. We kept bumping into each other whenever and wherever. Hindi ko alam kong sinasadya niya ba o nagkataon lang.

Nandito pala kami sa battlefield ng Silverwood Empire since may battle fight examination daw na magaganap. It's an examination day for new trainees for magic knights. At isa si Axel sa examinees.

"Calm down, Anastasia. Your brother will be fine," Rosié exclaimed calmly.

Pinagpawisan kasi ito ng todo, halatang kinakabahan talaga.

"Trust your brother, Anastasia," I assured her. "Everything will be alright."

Nakaupo kami ngayon sa bench ng arena at nasa gitna kami, syempre kasama ang mga anak ko.

"Mama, look, it's hermano Axel!" Masiglang sabi ni Grayson sabay turo kay Axel na ngayo'y nakapila na sa battlefield.

Pagkatapos ay tumayo si Grayson at Hayden at biglang sumigaw. "HERMANO, BEAT THEM UP! WE ARE ROOTING FOR YOUR VICTORY!" They both cheered and yelled in chorus.

Si Sapphire, naman ay tahimik lang sa tabi ko. Nakakrus pa nga ang mga braso at binti. At walang emosyon na nakatingin sa battlefield.

And then the royal host for the event made his way to the center of the arena. We clapped our hands and cheered. Then he introduces the royal families of the four empires.

The first is the royal family of Silverwod. Natawa pa ako ng bahagya nang makita ko na nagtatalo na naman si Claudia at Claude. I smiled when I saw Claude's physique. He is taller than before; kagaya ni Aidan, mas bumatak pa lalo ang katawan nito. 6'7 footer, kasi ang mokong na 'yan, habang si Claudia naman ay, I think around 6'3. Well, they are half-blooded immortals.

The second is the royal family of Crimson. Then I saw the imbeciles who're waving happily, like they didn't create a shameful and unforgivable sin. My heart aches, but I am happy at the same time when I see Aidan together with his fiance. And ganda ng babae halatang classy. 

Wala akong makitaan kahit ni ngiti sa mukha ni Aidan. He's just walking confidently with no emotion glistening in his face.

The third is the royal family of Wintershadow. At kumulo talaga ang dugo ko sa pamilyang ito. Sarap pasabugin para mamatay. 

The last one is the royal family of Solara. I smiled sweetly when I saw my two brothers walking at the back of Tía and Tío. Ang gagwapo at tatangkad na nila lalo. I think they're already 7'0"; they have the same height as Aidan. Si Claude kasi mga around 6'7 lang, 'yon tas ako at si Claudia naman ay same height lang.

And then King Kaden delivered his welcome speech. After the introduction and the heartwarming speech, the battle has begun. Kahit hindi ako kasali ay ramdam ko ang excitement na dumadaloy sa kawatan ko.

Lahat ng mga tao sa bench ay nag-eenjoy talaga sa naganap na laban. It's intense, but at the same time, it's entertaining.

We immediately stood up when it was Axel's turn. Pumunta na sa gitna si Axel at ang makakalaban niya.

"LET'S GO HERMANO! BEAT THAT UGLY FAT GUY!" Sabay na napalingon kaming tatlo ni Rosié sa naging cheer ni Hayden. Saan ba nagmana ang isang 'to.

"Hayden, that's not good cheering at all," sita sa kaniya ni Grayson. "You must cheer like this." Pagkatapos ay huminga ito ng malalim. "FOR PEACE AND VICTORY OF OUR EMPIRE! WE ARE ROOTING FOR YOU, HERMANO! GO GIVE HIM A GOOD BEATING!"

Napasapo nalang kaming tatlo sa sinigaw ni Grayson. I was even flustered because some other people at the bench were looking at us.

"We don't have an empire, hermano," Hayden said flatly.
