Chapter Twenty-One: Inside the Palace

*^*^*^*^*^*^*

Vellaine

Ugh. Sana talaga di na ko nakinig kay Annessa. We should've been there by now.

"Vellaine nasaan na ba tayo?" Tanong ni Dein for the nth time.

"We're close, pero medyo malayo parin." Sagot ko. I know it doesn't make any sense, but today, it does. 

I stopped my tracks, I can feel marching...

Nagsalita ulit si Dein, "Wow ang tagal naman pa-hmmp!" Tinakpan ko agad ang bibig niya bago siya magsalita.

I signaled for him to keep quiet bago ko bawiin ang kamay ko.

"Check everywhere! Look at every nook and crany of this palace! Hindi sila dapat makalabas ng buhay!" Utos ng kala mo leader or chief nila. Nag-salute naman sila at nawala na.

"Looks like someone got caught."-Saff.

"Sino kaya yon?"-Wendy.

After many more tiny steps ay nakarating kami sa harap ng pinto ng treasure room, naabutan namin doon sila Midess, or ang Luckys. We looked at them by peeking at the corner.

They were with the quote-on-quote king and queen, as well as yung mga anak nila...

I smirked, without the crippled one of course.

I made him into such a masterpiece, that he would just want to end his life.

Thankfully, he can't hahahahaha.

"That ugly looking female vampire should be Tiana right?" tanong ni Saff na nasa gilid ko.

"Mukha nga, from what I remember." Sagot ni Wendy na tulad namin ay naka-dungaw sa gilid

"Vellaine, ano mo ba siya?" -Dein. Tumingin ako sakanya bago ako tumingin kay Tiana. 

"She was my cousin."  

"Was?" He asked again.

"She's not a pure blood, she's just someone who's pretending to be."

She used to be so nice to me, but I was a fool to be deceived by her. She's the one who made me who I am today, cruel. Atleast nakilala ko ng Sanguinum Queens dahil sa kataksilan nila.

Ilang sandali pa ay bumukas ang pinto at pumasok sila, kaya nagmadali din kaming pumunta sa loob, bago pa sumara ang mga pinto.

Bumungad saamin ang maraming ginto at dyamante, or more like jade and other things. 

I doubt na they'll be dumb enough to not hide some of these. Then again, wala namang kwenta ang mga 'to kung hindi pera lang at accessories sila at pang suhol. After all, nasa kwarto ko ang mga importanteng bagay. 

And I'm very sure na isa sa mga grupo namin ay nag decide nalang na sa kwarto ko mag-stay. 

Sinundan namin ang mga Royals hanggang sa isang intersection, kung saan nag-left sila. 

"Where do we go? Sundan ba natin sila Saff?" Tanong ko, umiling siya.

"Unless they're idiots, they won't lead foreign race to their most priced possesions. We'll go to the right." 

"Tara na." Sabi ni Dein. Tumango kaming lahat at tumungo na sa right.

So ganto para ang itsura ng place na puro traps. Everything is so obvious ngayong maliit kami. Perspective is everything just like what they say.
