Chapter 6: The Unthinkable Move

Verona, Palace

After disposing the cake, I decided na pumunta sa study room or might as well call it as my office habang hinihintay ko ang general ng royal army matapos sakanyang errands.

I glance at the big painting at the center of the room. It was a whole drawing of verona kingdom. You might be wondering since verona is known for it's french people, siguradong mala ancient design din ang kingdom similar to london structures? Nope, although our culture is french, ang design ng mga structures sa verona kingdom is almost identical to the structures of Greece.

To put it simply, para kang nasa Greek God and Goddesses or Olympus dahil sa mga design ng mga building at nang palace, I like it because it's unique lalo na di pa ko nakakakita nito from my previous life. Ang ayoko lang sa design ay iisa lang ang pinturang ginamit...

...You guessed it, it's color white.

Inalis ko ang paningin ko sa painting at umupo sa isang upuan. Maglulunch time pa lang, but marami na ang nangyari. Napaisip din ako sa nangyari kanina. Is adrian declaring a war? Bakit gusto nya ko patayin? He knows pagnalaman ko na linason nya ang cake, may isang malaking posibilidad na baka malaman ito ng mga citizen ng verona at magdeklara ng isang war.

I glared at the table in front of me. Never na nangyare sa novel to. Walang sinabi na naglagay sya ng poison. With this new found discovery, I was suddenly afraid of what's to come. Since hindi ito nabanggit sa novel, wala akong idea kung ano ang tumatakbo sa isipan nya at kung ano ang kanyang intensyon.

I have to be cautious around him.

Napataas ang kilay ko ng may nakapa ako isang papel sa isa sa mga bulsa ko, until something clicked inside my head. Of course, how can I forgot the letter from Kiruna Kingdom? I grabbed a small knife to peel off the wax seal bago sinimulan basahin ang letter na nasa loob.

Salutation Your Imperial Majesty,

I was pleased to finally met the new crowned Empress of Verona Kingdom. No words can describe how happy I was with our previous conversation, I found you interesting and something about you makes me wanna know you more. This is why I am sending this letter to you to invite you to visit the Kiruna Kingdom at exactly Thursday, 8:00 am. I hope you planned to visit soon, I would be very displeased kung hindi ka pupunta and hopefully, you will like my surprise. Thank you for your time and consideration.

- Sincerly yours, Emperor Axel

Napakunot ang noo ko matapos ko basahin ang buong letter. So, it's from him huh? Ito pala ang ibag nyang sabihin 'see you next week.' What does he mean surprise? So far sakanilang tatlo, si Axel lang ang walang ginagawang masama sakin surprisingly, but I can't let my guard down dahil baka kunin nya itong pagkakataon para subukang patayin din ako just like the other two. Jeez, bakit gusto agad nila ako patayin? The last time I checked dapat iisang Emperor lang ang may balak pumatay kay Lucy.

Should I go? My mind is telling me not to go, but my gut is telling me otherwise.

I snapped out of my thoughts when the door of the room was suddenly opened, followed by Lucas with the serving cart. Kumulo agad ang tyan ko ng maamoy ko ang masarap na aroma na nagmumula sa mga pagkain na dala nya. Because of someone, hindi ako nakakain ng almusal kaya grabe ang panghihina at gutom ko. Wala rin nakahanda na pagkain sa palace dahil nagluluto pa ang mga chief para sa lunch.
