"ANO? Tapos ka na bang magmakaawang tulungan ka niya?" sarkastikong wika ni Aster.

"Shut up, bitch." I threw her my coldest glare that I never show to anyone until today. She was taken aback by that, yet she still managed to have her composure after seconds.

Pilit at pilit niya talagang isasalba ang pride niya. Inirapan ko siya at saka binalot sa asul na apoy ang sibat na hawak ko. I heard loud gasps from everyone, except to the five royalties who already saw this weeks ago. Awit. Bida-bida ka talaga, self.

"You're the Demon King's bride." wika ng Devil Scythe na siguradong-sigurado sa sinabi niya.

"Ako nga 'yon." I nodded my head as a confirmation and pointed Aster with my pointing finger. Gusto ko sanang gamitin 'yong middle finger ko pero 'wag na lang. "Pero siya 'yong feeling bride ni Ryu. Let's not talk about her because she'll never win against me, anyway. So, shall we start?'

Hindi ko na hinintay pa ang sagot niya at umatake na lang. I dodged the chain that's connected to the scythe. Para 'yong ahas na naglulumikot at sinisira ang lahat ng natatamaan niya. Nang gumalaw 'yon papunta sa akin ay hindi ko 'yon iniwasan at hinuli lamang. The moment I touch her, my blue fire slowly crawls to the chain up to the scythe. The devil scythe removed the chain and a magic circle appeared beneath her.

"Tanga, papatayin ka na niya!" Aster threw small fire balls to the scythe and even summoned her familiar, the snake that got frozen because of me. No worries because it's still alive and crawling.

Dizziness suddenly attacked me, making me unguarded for seconds. Kinuha 'yong pagkakataon ng chain para ipulupot ang sarili sa akin at higpitan 'yon para hindi ako makahinga. One thing that I noticed was the black smoke that's now covering the chain. I looked at the scythe's magic circle and found the similar smoke on it.

"Patayan ba talaga ang gusto mo?" I asked using my bored tone. "If that's what you want then you better choose someone else. I don't have any plans of tiring myself just to prove my worth to you. Isa pa, kung pagbibigyan kita sa patayang gusto mo ay hindi tayo pwede rito. Maraming mga teacher at estupidyanteng pwedeng mamatay dahil sa 'tin. I can't and I don't want them to lose their lives just because of this nonsense fight."

She didn't answer but the magic circle beneath her was slowly fading as the chain around me suddenly loosening itself from me. Lumapit sa akin ang scythe at yumuko.

"I'm sorry for my irrational behavior, your majesty."

"Oy, anong sinasabi mo? Is this your new trick to try me?" I asked innocently even though I know what she was talking about.

"No matter how hard you try to hide it, I found and smelled it." She smiled and controlled the chain to attach it on herself again. "Hold me. You deserve to have me."

"No!" sigaw ni Aster.

"Do you fucking want me to fucking kill her, bride? She's goddamn annoying." malamig na wika niya. Ibang-iba ang awra niya ngayon kumpara sa kanina. Her aura is much deadlier and colder that made Aster to step back.

I lightly chuckled as I softly caressed her blade. I smiled sincerely 'coz I like how sharp she is but not enough to hurt someone just by a simple touch unless, it was done with force. Akmang hahawakan ko siya nang biglang humangin ng malakas mula sa itaas. I looked up and there I saw Casper with his friends riding on a black dragon with a very long tail. Kasama niya ang ilang miyembro ng The Rulers.

"Protektahan ang hari at mga prinsipe!"

"Students, magsipasok na kayo!"

"Royal guards, sa unahan kayo! Ang ilan sa inyo ay papasukin at protektahan ang reyna!"
