CHAPTER 18

THE ANSWER

Sa paligid nila ay huminto ang mga itim pa na sasakyan na may maliit na flag ng royal family sa taas nito. Stan remained on his position while weighing the situation, what he is protecting is the other kids privacy as to not let the public see their face.

"Uncle Stan, it's fine." Phillie said as she peaked from the window.

Stan glanced at her, confused. "You know these guys?"

Suddenly, a man in a suit stepped out of a car and gently bowed at Stan.

"Good evening gentlemen, we were sent by Your Highness Nadeem." The man said. "Let me all escort you to your destination."

Stan kept on glancing at him and at Phillie. "Destination? You know where we are going?"

"No, but we will provide. Now ride the vehicle, Sir." The man said.

Stan, as if being controlled, rode the van with Phillie waving at the guard happily. "Will I be able to thank His Highness when we get there?"

"We'll see there, Miss." The man said as he signaled the cars in front of them to move ahead.

Stan glanced at them, still shock.

"Just what happened inside that room?" Eitan asked her.

Phillie chuckled. "Just a few negotiations."

At the front seat, Viktor can't help but to grin and shook his head in amazement.

"So is the royal family now on our side?" Eitan asked.

Let's wish for that. Phillie thought.

RIAD HARMONIE, CASABLANCA, MOROCCO   23:14

They all arrived at a rented villa and a heavily guarded manor. From the walls, the windows and even the gates are heavily guarded by the royal guards. The villa was rented for that specific situation as is Nadeem Bashara expected this outcome.

Bumaba silang lahat sa van at tabi tabing tumayo sa isa't isa habang kinakapkapan. Nang kuhanin ang kanilang mga baril ay roon sila umalma.

"Hey, wait!" Eitan and Kozma tried grabbing it back.

"My apologies, gentlemen." The royal personal guard said as he fixed his glasses and gloves. "We will just keep your weapons until you all are safe to go."

Viktor scoffed. "We're all here to help so why are we being stripped off our freedom to fight? What if you kill us inside?"

"Damn right." Ches seconded after his guns were confiscated.

"We will never do that, Sir." The man said politely and calmly. "Moreover, we are very hospitable over guest and His Highness specially took a liking to this blonde girl."

"The fuck did you say?" Ei hissed.

The man cleared his throat, clearly ignoring Eitan and the guys disappointment with the treatment. "My name is Faiz. No need to be polite. I am the personal guard of His Highness Nadeem Bashara. We follow strict protocols even if you're tourists from the clothes, piercings, shoes, hair and even prohibiting tattoos."

The royal guards indeed are neat without tattoos, hair colors and piercings from Phillie's observation.

"Tch." Ches and Eitan made their disapproval very obvious.

Phillie is already nervous with how transparent these guys are with their expression in disapproval or disappointment. Phillie tried reaching out to them but then Kozma seconded.
