OMNISCIENT:

"Your Highness," Sebastian greeted the Crown Prince as it immediately sat on his chair. "There is multiple information coming from the Palace. Alin ang gusto mong unang pakinggan?"

"The least to my concerns," he said; scanned through the files he needed to finish before the year ended. Sa katunayan ay trabaho dapat ito ni Arthur, pero tumakas ang binata sa responsibilidad. Walang nagawa si Lucius dahil wala ito sa Suin ngayon.

"There was a movement with one of the officials for a possible ambush, your highness. Mukhang wala silang balak sirain ang selebrasyon pero nais nilang siraan kayo sakaling dadalo sa okasyon na iyon."

That is not the least of his concern, but he had thought of it.

He had been concerned to what possibility could destiny possess if ever they attended the banquet. Nakampante naman si Lucius sa sinabi ng kaibigan kaya nagbigay siya ng tango rito.

"What else," he uttered.

Sebastian was hesitant to speak at first, but Lucius' furious look made him gulp his own saliva. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang magiging reaksyon ng binata sa kasunod na topiko. "Prince Leveius, together with the twins already knows that Princess Seisha did not jump off the Cliff."

Nabitawan ni Lucius ang hawal na papeles. It finally came this far. Iyon ang nasa isipan nito.

He would be lying if he said he did not prepare for it, but now that it was served, he feels nothing. Regardless of that decision, Lucius is still adamant to his ambitions. Marami ang nagbago sa panahon na ito na halos hindi na tugma ang mga pangyayari.

"Proceed to the plan, Erique."

"Hindi na ba magbabago ang isipan mo, Lucius?" tanong ng kaibigan. Gustong kumbinsihin nito ang prinsipe na hindi na lang ituloy ang plano dahil marami ang mapapahamak. Wala itong nakuhang sagot sa kanya kaya napagtanto na lamang ni Sebastian na hindi na talaga ito magbabago.

"I'll inform Ansel Calvary for a slight change, your highness. Arcane Abode will ensure the speed of information to reach within hours."

"Any news from Lurren?" He asked.

"He is still in Romor," mabilis na sagot nito. "Nakarating na din sa magkapatid na uuwi ito sa palasyo. Maaaring magkaroon ng hidwaan sa inyong magkakapatid, Lucius. Ang pagdating ng pangalawang prinsipe ay sumakto sa plano, subalit, hindi natin matanya kung sang-ayon ba ito sa gusto mong mangyari."

"As long as he is willing, there is no problem. If he can't, Frencia is the best candidate, and yet, she's young to rule."

"Hindi mo ba talaga ipagpatuloy ang pagiging Hari?"

Tumingala si Lucius para makuha ang itsura ng kaibigan nito. Bakas sa mukha ni Sebastian na hindi siya sang-ayon sa desisyon ng Prinsipe, pero wala siyang magagawa kundi sumunod.

"I became a King for 6 lives, Erique. And after that ceremony, I was killed. Why did my past self fail to understand that concept? If I become King, she will suffer a great loss that led her to commit the same mistake."

Naiintindihan ni Sebastian ang gustong ipahiwatig ng kanyang kaibigan. Matagal na silang magkakilala kaya alam na nito ang bawat kilos ng prinsipe. Hindi niya lang maintindihan at ayaw tanggapin na kailangan ito ang mangyari para hindi maulit ang nakaraan.

"I rebelled against my Father for the past six reincarnations. In every tribulation, I become the King and only die after being crowned. We are inside a drift that cursed us to make the same mistake. If it weren't for her sacrifice, we wouldn't be attaining a different course," the Crown Prince continued.
