Women~

"Mom, Dad,"

I greeted my parents as soon as I entered their room. Mom is sitting on their bed's edge while Dad is pacing back and forth with brows almost meeting each ends.

"Clardia, is there something you need?" Mom asked softly as she turned her gaze on me.

"Nothing, I just want to stay here for a while." I answered and took a sit beside her.

"Do you have a problem, perhaps?"

"Hmm, it's not my personal problem but, I feels like it's my burden too."

"Do you want to tell me what it is?"

I looked at Mom and heavily let go a sigh. "The women killings were adding up everyday. At first it was only three women from the different Kingdoms but now... Five Hallenors were killed again and they were all stabbed in their chests. Xavier was so busy everytime because he handle the cases and he's eager to know who initiates this crime to ruin the image of the royals." I sighed again. "I leave him in the study cause he don't even want me to help even if he already looks like he wasn't getting enough sleep. I just feel bad for him..."

Ilang araw na ang nakakalipas simula noong naganap ang unang pagpatay ng mga babae dito sa Acelatoria. At hindi nagiging maayos ang lahat. Sa totoo lang mas nagiging malala pa. Sunod-sunod na ngayon ang pagkamatay ng mga babae mula sa iba't-ibang parte ng planeta at nadadagdagan pa ang mga bilang nila.

May misteryo ring hindi malutas ng mga awtoridad at ng mga dugong bughaw. At ito ay kung saang lupalop nakakahanap ng mga Hallenors ang kung sino mang pumapatay sa kanila gayong isang porsiyento na lang ang mga babae na ganoon sa mundong ito? Hindi ba nakakapagtaka 'yon? Some were saying that maybe UrsaMinor itself did it since, they hold most of the Hallenors in their organization though, I know, or most of the people know as well, that it is imposible to be them, stating the fact that it's against their purpose.

Then, my Dad suddenly spoke. My forehead creased. "How would he know who initiates the killings if he is turning a blind eye against his family?"

"What... are you saying, Dad?" I asked, totally confused.

"Radley." Mom said like she don't want Dad to say something any further. But, the latter just shrugged it off.

"What I'm saying is that, isn't it obvious that the royals did it? Galit sila sa mga babaeng 'yon dahil baka parte sila UrsaMinor. Pinatay nila ang lahat ng babaeng 'yon para lang magdeklara ng digmaan sa organisasyon na pinaglalaban lang naman ang karapatan ng mga kababaihan." my father said which made me furrow my brows even more.

"Dad, it's not the royals. Hindi sila ang may gawa ng mga ito dahil sila nga mismo ay pinoproblema ang mga pagpatay. Also, they are promoting a change in this planet. They want to erase whatever violence the former King have manifested. So, I think they're also just victims here."

"Victims? Anak, huwag mo masyadong pagkatiwalaan ang mga tao dito, ngayon mo lang sila nakilala. Hindi mo alam kung anong mga baho ang tinatago nila."

"But..."

"You're Dad's right, Clardia. Masyado ka nang pakatiwala sa kanila. You still don't know a lot about them."
