VINCENT POV:

I'm with my soldier, and we will be going to the infirmary because dad wanted to talk to me, but I had no idea what we were going to talk about—in fact, I was nervous because dad only called me once, unlike Nero, who always carries the kingdom's burden on his shoulders and the responsibilities that dad passed on to him.

The truth is that I'm a bit tripped up because the timing is wrong. I should be the first one to dance with Celestine tonight. She was so beautiful earlier, so I was a little worried that some male vampires might approach her, especially since I am not with her, but I am confident that my brother will not like it either; I know that his eyes are now fixed only on Celestine.

And if it's really destiny, why can't I stop myself from liking her? But as I promised myself, I will never be a hindrance if she like someone else, especially if Nero will be my rival.

Nasa harapan na kami ng pintuan papasok sa infirmary.

Humugot pa ako ng malalim na hininga bago ako pumasok, rinig na rinig ko pa rin ang ingay sa hall hangang dito at sana nga'y walang masamang mangyayari ngayon.

Pagpasok ko ay nakita ko agad si Ama na nakaharap sa may malay na ngayong wizard at ng maramdaman niyang nandito na ako ay humarap siya sa gawi ko.

"Dad, pinatawag niyo raw ako." sabi ko habang pormal na nakatindig sa harapan niya.

My father looks just like Nero while me, I look just like my beautiful mother, but I also got my father's eyes, so I'm more handsome than my brother.
Just kidding.

"Yes, I want to talk to you, son."
sumenyas siya sa mga kawal niya na lumabas muna saglit at hayaang kaming tatlo lang ang nasa loob, sinunod naman kaagad ito ng mga kawal.

"I can't believe that Mateo's actions are like this, his jealousy and sadness have really eaten his sanity, I'm sure it will make it difficult for us, especially since I heard news that my spies saw Peter coming to Mateo's palace stealthily..."

Seryosong sabi ni Ama habang naka-upo sa isang silya at napahilamos sa kanyang mukha.

It must have been challenging for him to stand up to his former friends who are now being consumed by the greediness of power.
Because, as far as I know, King Peter and King Mateo, Dad, and King Patrick, the father of Celestine, were all on the same page before.

"A-anong nangyayari kay King Peter Dad? I know the King of Domestria is honorable and kind as what others says… I also know his youngest daughter princess Aster and I can say that she's kind too."

Naguguluhang tanong ko habang kinukuha ang bangko malapit sa patients bed kong saan naka-upo ang wizard na lalaki na nakatingin sa aming dalawa at mukhang malalim ang iniisip.

"Seryosong tao si Peter anak, kaya hindi ko kailanman nabasa ang pumapasok sa isip niya, kaya hindi ko rin masasabi na kilalang kilala ko na siya... oo kaibigan ko siya dati pero ramdam kong hindi pinapakita ni Peter sa amin ang totoo niyang ugali."
Sabi ni Ama habang tumitingin sa akin at sa wizard guy.

"Tsk! Gusto ko pong malaman niyo na may lihim akong galit sa hari ng Domestria, at wala rin akong tiwala sa inyo."
Sabat ng wizard na medyo nagpakunot sa aming noo ni Ama, bumuntong hininga siya tsaka tumayo.

"King Peter was one of the ones we asked for help when the heartless Hallows gradually invaded our kingdom. My father was the general of the wizard's army back then, and Queen Vanica trusted him... My dad asked for reinforcements from the King of Domestria along with other wizards, but what they didn't expect was that heatless King just abandoned them, and he even killed some of our people... luckily my father escaped but in the end he also lost his life because of the extreme mistreatment of the Domestria soldiers to him... k-kaya wag n'yong sabihing matino at mabait na hari ang duwag na 'yon! Sinusumpa ko siya... Pareho lang sila ni Mateo mga walang puso." Wika ng wizard habang inaalala ang mga nangyari noon napansin ko rin ang kanyang kamao na nanginginig sa sobrang galit.
