"Y-you don't want to marry Princess Claire?"
Maging si Queen Lucy ay nabigla sa sinabi ni Zero.
Ang akala pa naman niya ay tuluyan na niyang maaalis sa kanyang paningin ang basura niyang anak.
Zero: Yes, your highness!
Queen Lucy: Then what do you want?
Zero: I want to give my slot to Princess Claire.
Queen Lucy: S-slot? What do you mean?
Zero: (show off a jade token to everyone)
Master Rong: High Emperor!
Dali-daling lumuhod si Master Rong. Maging ang mga tao na nasa event ay lumuhod din pagkarinig ang sigaw ni Master Rong.
Although, they haven't seen a token from their Emperor, they know that Master Rong who is from the main city definitely know it.
Even Queen Lucy, and any royal families like the princesses have to kneel and vow their heads to respect the Emperor.
Zero: Actually I am here to let the words of the Emperor be known to everyone. The top three winners of this contest will be given admission tickets to enter the number 1 school of Hongyuan Empire known as the Star Legend. Yung sinasabi ni Master Rong na training ay ito yun. Hindi na lang siya 5days kundi 6months before the day the "battle of the Kingdoms" to come. Being a student of Star Legend will be a great opportunity to hone your skills.
Nagkaroon agad ng comotion pagkarinig na pagkarinig ng mga madlang people ang "Star Legend".
For thousand years, Star Legend remains the #1 school in the whole Holy Land. It caters not only powerful martial arts, but also different secret arts that can hone oneself like paintings, sculptures, medicines, formations, strategies, etc.
Dahil sa pagiging pinakamagaling na school, hindi lahat nakakapasok sa Star Legend. Kailangan mo ng admission from the principal para makapasok ka. In other words, you have to be invited.
Guy1: Ang swerte naman ni Princess Claire!
Guy2: This guy is insane! Bakit niya ibibigay ang slot niya kay Princess Claire?!
Girl1: M-maybe, h-he...really likes the princess.
Queen Lucy: Are you sure you will just give your slot? (Seryoso ka ba?! Star Legend na yan... To think na ibibigay mo lang ang slot mo sa trash na yan. Baka masayang lang ang slot mo.)
Zero: I'm sure your grace. Princess Claire really deserved to have one of the slots.
Queen Lucy: I...i can't decide that. Si Master Rong pa rin ang may final say.
Master Rong: Yes, you can!
Mabilis na sagot ni Master Rong. Hindi alam ng lahat kung bakit ganito na lang ang kilos ni Master Rong. Parang takot na takot ito sa lalaking kaharap niya. Pero baka, sa token siya takot. Besides, parang ang emperor na rin ang nagsasalita dahil hawak nito ang jade token.
Queen: Then I shall announce the Top 3 of this contest...
Hindi na pinakinggan ni Khalisso ang sasabihan ni Queen Lucy dahil abala siya sa kakahanap kay Zero.
Bigla na lang kasi itong nawala na naman matapos pumayag ni Master Rong sa kagustuhan niya.
Hindi niya alam bakit ginawa ito ng binata. Gusto niya itong tanungin pero mas nangingibabaw ang kagustuhan niyang pasalamatan ito.
Marami na siyang utang sa lalaking ito at hindi na niya alam kung panu siya makakabawi rito.
In the end, nakauwi si Khalisso nang hindi nakikita si Zero.
Khalisso: Zero, sino ka ba talaga?
May pakiramdam si Khalisso na may misteryong bumabalot sa katauhan ni Zero.
"Your highness!"
Biglang natauhan si Khalisso nang bigla niyang narinig ang boses ni Nicole.
Si Nicole pala ang bago niyang personal maid. On her way home, nakita niya itong walang malay sa daan. Ang dungis nito at sobrang payat. Dahil sa awa ay dinala niya ito sa palasyo.
Ngayong nakapaligo na si Nicole ay makikita na may angkin din itong kagandahan. Kapag tumaba pa ito ng konti ay mas maganda na ito sa kanyang mga kapatid. Pero wala pa ring papantay sa kagandahang taglay ni Khalisso.
Anyway, Khalisso did not ask Nicole about her background. Tinanggap niya ito ng buong puso. She believed that one day, she'll talk about her background.
Khalisso: What is it?
Nicole: Princess, are you still thinking of that handsome man?
Khalisso: Do you know him?
Nicole: Hindi princess. Pero nandun ako sa event kanina. Nasaksihan ko yung kilig moments niyo ng gawapong binata.
Khalisso: Kilig moments talaga? That man is weird. He seemed to know me. Masiyado siyang FC.
Nicole: FC?
Khalisso: Feeling close.
Sasagot pa sana si Khalisso nang may narinig silang katok mula sa pintuan ng kanyang kwarto.
Dali-daling binuksan ni Nicole ang pintuan. Bumungad sa kanila si Princess Cloei. At bigla agad itong nagsalita habang lumalakad papunta kay Khalisso.
P. Cloei: I want you to give up your slot for me.
Khalisso: (Ang kapal naman ng mukha na to!) Excuse me?
P. Cloei: You don't deserve it. Sasayangin mo lang yung opportunity na makapasok sa Star Legend.
Khalisso: Kailan ka pa naging manghuhula my dear sister? Anyway, you're just wasting your time. Wala akong balak na ibigay sa iyo ang slot ko.
P. Claire: Then... Why don't we take a bet? Let us fight! The winner will get the slot.
Khalisso: Hahahahahaha! Anu namang mapapala ko diyan? Pag nanalo ko, makukuha ko yung slot? E sakin naman talaga yun.
P. Claire: Then, what do you want?
Khalisso: What do I want? Hmmmm...I want you to tell to Cloud that you're the one who killed my parrot and jumped on the pond by yourself.
That you lied and I am innocent. You just wanted to destroy our friendship.
P. Cloei: Y-you!
Khalisso: What? Don't you dare? Are you afraid of me?
P. Cloei: Ako? Matatakot sa iyo?! No way! You're just a trash!
Khalisso: Alright! Let us go outside. We can't fight here!
Nicole: Princess! Are you sure about this?
Khalisso: Trust me!
P. Cloei: It's too late now to back down!
Khalisso: I will not.
P. Cloei: Good! I never thought that until now, you still love Cloud. Well, manalo man ako o matalo na hindi naman mangyayari, sayong sayo na si Cloud. I already found the man who is meant for me.
Khalisso: Ang ganda mo a. Basta-basta mo na lang itatapon matapos mong pagsawaan? And who's that unlucky man?
P. Cloei: Well, I didn't really like Cloud. It was because of you kaya ko siya nilapitan. I want to torture you by using him!
Khalisso: Despicable bitch!
In truth, Khalisso just wanted to buy time. She's now processing a plan to make her win. She doesn't know any martial arts. Hindi naman kasi kailangan sa mundo niya.
