The Vampire King's Favorite

Chapter 44

"The University is guarded."

Napatingin kaming lahat kay Doctor Lawrence dahil sa sinabi niya. He is currently sitting in the sofa while we, on the other hand, were sitting on the floor.

Nakapalibot kami sa lamesa habang pinagpa-planuhan ang gagawin namin. His cuts and wounds were already cured. Mabilis namang gumagaling ang mga bampira, but the thing is, his cuts were made by silvers. Kaya medyo mabagal maghilom.

Still, compared to humans' and wolves' healing process, you can still consider it as quick healing.

"How guarded?" Tanong ko sakanya.

Bumaling naman saakin ang seryosong paningin niya. But it's clear that something's going on in his mind. He's probably making a mental check.

"Highly guarded. Everyone wanted Lucius out of his throne. Everyone is looking forward for his execution. That makes everyone present in that place. And when I say everyone, that includes their whole clan. Their whole family, you can say."

Nagkatinginan kami dahil sa sinabi ng doctor. His family is present. I don't know if that's a good idea or what... Pero base sa tono ng pananalita niya, I think it's a bad idea.

Everyone wanted him out of his throne... Kasali ba ang pamilya niya don? But why?

Napahilot nalang ulit ako sa sentido ko. Ang dami nang tanong na tumatakbo sa utak ko. From Mitchell to Lucius. Two persons but caused me too many problems.

"You okay?"

Napatingin ako kay Keith nang marinig ang tanong niya. Mabilis akong tumango at ginawaran siya ng maliit na ngiti para siguraduhing ayos lang ako.

I then turned my gaze to the others.

"We need to make a solid plan. We've got no room for mistakes. Can we do this?" Mariing saad ko.

Nagkatinginan pa muna sila bago nila ako tignan nang may determinasyon sa mga mata.

"We can do this. We're sure of it."

Napangisi nalang ako dahil don.

Throughout the day, we just planned and planned. Hindi na namin naisipan pang tumayo mula sa mga pwesto namin. Ang doctor na nga lang ang kusang-loob na umaalis-alis para kumuha ng pagkain para saamin, tapos ay babalik na siya sa pagkakaupo sa sofa at sasali na sa usapan.

I told him to just rest. But he doesn't want that. Tutulong raw siya. And I can't say no because I need every help that I can get right now.

Base na rin sa sinabi ng doctor, it's clear that we are outnumbered. How many are we? 6? Plus the doctor who is not in his good shape, so that makes us 6½. And from what he said earlier, kapatid pa lang nung asungot na bampira ay kulang na kami.

They are all 12. We already met Lucius and Lucy, so there's still 10 to go. 5 men and 5 women. 3 pairs of them were already married, now having their own family. I wanna salute their Father. Sinigurado niya talagang pantay ang bilang ng babae sa lalaki para walang problema sa pairing.

How brilliant of him. Note the sarcasm please.

Tapos ay yung iba pang mga bampira na gusto siyang maalis sa pwesto. I can remember the people I once saw in the mansion. The time where I needed Lucy's blood for Samantha.

They are more than 20 that time. And I bet yung mga importanteng tao lang ang mga iyon. How about the ones under? Yung mga bampirang nasasakupan niya na pasikreto na palang nagpaplano sa pagbagsak niya? Kulang na kulang kami sa tao.

Nasa ganoon akong pag-iisip nang marinig ko ang paglangitngit ng maindoor ng bahay.

I became alert. My senses heightened as I quickly stepped on my foot. Mabilis na napaharap ako sa direksyon ng pinto, pero mabilis ring napatigil nang makita kung sino ang nandoon ngayon.
