OMNISCIENT:

Hindi nangyari ang inaasahan ng lahat. Lucius did not even dare to move until they entered the outskirts. Buong akala niya ay lalabas ano mang oras ang nakahandang patibong sa kanila, subalit nakakarating na sila sa dulo ng palasyo, walang atake ang naganap.

He did not know what happened, and even if Sebastian would dare question him, he knows Lucius does not have the answer. Kaya nanatili silang tahimik hanggang magsimula ang seremonya.

Pinilit niyang baliwalain ang nangyari at mataman na nakatingin sa mga opisyal ng palasyo.

Halos lahat ng narito ay peke sa kanyang paningin. Naghahanap lamang ng butas at tiyempo para salakayin ang hari at agawin ang trono. He wasn't in the mood to talk, so he stayed silent until the meeting was over.

Napansin iyon ni Leveius kaya nang makita niya na paalis ang kapatid ay sinundan niya ito.

"What made my brother pissed off that he will avoid being triggered when he always loves cursing at people?"

"Not now, Leve."

"What happened?" Hindi natigil si Leveius kahit nagbigay na ng matalas na tingin ang kapatid niya. "You know, it is not like I wasn't aware of our situation. Hindi kayo nakakatago sa kamandag ko kaya alam ko lahat. Tell me, did your plan backfired? We were anxious for your arrival because of the timeline, but it looks like Seisha is well. Wala bang nangyari? Kung hindi mo lang sana sinabi na ayaw mong may iba sa plano, malamang tinulungan na kita. Tigas ng ulo mo e, kasing tigas nong statue sa labas— made of gold din 'yon, ang sosyal mo, kapatid."

"Leve, I swear if I hear one word from you again, I'll burn your laboratory."

He was losing his patience. Wala talaga sa mood si Lucius ngayon. If what he thought would happen did not happen, it means Fate is moving again. He knew it, he talked to her, and it ended not on good terms.

"Such threats don't work on me. Kilala kita, if your plan did not end well, you're going to curse in silence. If hindi nangyari ang pag-atake, wala ng silbi ang ebidensya na nakalap namin para idiin si Count Germason. If Seisha is safe, it means there is a probability that the future will not follow the course."

"No, Leve. It needs to follow the timeline. Kung hindi tayo susunod, marami ang mangyayari na siyang hindi kayang harapin ng kaharian. Do not ask me for what it is, but all I need is your cooperation about the chemical. If that weapon is finished, inform me."

Humakbang palayo ang tagapagmana habang naiiling na lamang si Leveius na nakatingin sa papalayong prinsipe.

The chemical Leveius is working on already reached the final stage. It is now approved for mass production. The problem right now is to where Lucius will use that.

Even if Leveius knew it wasn't against his allies, the chemical is a strong weapon that could end up killing millions of people. Mabuti na din na isang Leveius Liorn ang gumawa ng kemikal na iyon, dahil hindi siya gagawa ng lason kung walang panlunas.

Lucius entered his chamber and moments later, Sebastian came in using the window.

"We scout the outskirts, Lucius. Walang ni isang assassin na gumagala, parang wala talagang mangyayari."

"Fate is behind this," he said as he sat on the chair and clasped his hands together. "She is the only one who can pull such a trick. If she altered what happened, why would she do that? She finds our demise as an amusing performance and I cannot wait to smudge that smirk she has on her lips everytime I see her."
