Moonlight Throne (Gazellian Series #6)

Chapter 25

See the video I've posted above to hear the fictional song. I imagined this song as Leticia's performance. Hehe. (It's a different language nga lang.)

Chapter 25

— HARI —

Song

When I was young, I never had any clear answer about my power—light. I even thought that it was too weird to possess something like this. It's ironic to have light as an ability if you're a vampire, much more a leader— A King. Our kin symbolizes darkness, red as blood, or even fire of distractions.

We will never be mistaken to raise flags that call light, hope, and unity. Thousands of generations have passed from different creatures in this world, and there is only one thing they see when a vampire raises a flag, an abusive invasion.

The famous history of the seven high thrones made the vampires the timeless villains of the whole Nemetio Spiran.

Sa buong lahi ng mga bampira isinisisi ng lahat ang kasiraan ng mundong dati'y iisa, matayog at payapa, na hanggang ngayon ay sabay naming pilit binubuo ni Leticia.

King Andronicus Clamberge III wasn't the villain from the very beginning, it wasn't a vampire who had the first greed of power, but the goddesses who everyone thought was pure and sinless.

King Andronicus Clamberge III was the victim. He could be a great ruler that will serve his full loyalty to Nemetio Spiran if he wasn't manipulated, but the ideal state of an empire with his power as protection shattered like a fragile mirror and turned as broken pieces like an unsolved jigsaw puzzle.

A broken piece of shattered mirror, an unsolved puzzle... and when someone tried to dig the wholeness of the manipulated king, all they would see were part, glimpses... until the real story was covered by lies...

Maraming sumubok pulutin ang mga basag na salamin at sila'y kapwa nasusugatan... sa iilang parte ng nakaraan na akala nila'y naglalahad na kabubuan ng pangyayari ng nakaraan.

Everyone was deceived... sa napakaraming taon na ngayo'y puputulin ko.

King Andronicus Clamberge III was their first victim, a potential leader for Nemetio Spiran.

And then, when a new vampire was born with a powerful mind and outstanding ability, my father—King Thaddeus Leighton, a threat. They made another move. Another goddess made an attempt to enter the world to kill the wise Gazellian and it was our mother.

Until now the past between my parents, their struggles and the way they fought for their love was a mystery. And the realization that my own mother had to kill my father still haunts me during my nightmares, the dagger, the tears, the blood, and my father's calm smile on his face even in his cold body.

My mother's mind is also a mystery, but there is one thing I am sure about her—her love for us... na kailanman ay hindi ko pinagdudahan.

Mas humigpit ang hawak ko sa aking espada dahilan kung bakit mas nagliwanag iyon.

Should I consider my father as the second King as their victim? Was his death a success for the goddesses above?

Tumaas ang sulok ng aking labi.

It wasn't a success. Because my father made sure that his death was just the beginning.

Kung inaakala nilang nagtagumpay sila nang sandaling namatay si ama, ituturi ko silang higit sa mga hangal. Because King Thaddeus Leighton Gazellian left his greatest weapon.

His children. His family.

King Thaddeus Leighton Gazellian didn't just leave us with rich power, wisdom, loyalty... but endless love. He made sure that we are all armored in the most different way.
