"Right on time Kerz. Your Highness, Commander Ian and Avy let's go eat dinner first," Dravis said while dragging back Kerz inside the kitchen as if Dravis knows that there is an awkward moment between me and Ian plus Prince Renz adding the fire an oil instead of water.

We go to the kitchen that is also a dining room at the same time. Hindi ko alam kong nananadya ba si Prince Renz dahil magkakatabi kaming tatlo at nasa gitna nila ako so Kerz and Dravis are in front of us since the table is a rectangle that consists of 6 persons. 

We started eating but I can't eat well since here we go again by the stares of Prince Renz on me kaya hindi ako makakain ng maigi while Ian is simply observing na hindi masyadong halata. Dravis and Kerz seem to notice the atmosphere but silently eat their meal. 

"Avy, is the food not to your liking?" Prince Renz asked, he looked at my plate which is barely touched since I only taste it. 

"No. It's delicious," I answered. He looked at me while frowning as if he is confused by my answer.

"Then, why are you not eating it well?" He said, "I am not that hungry, Your Highness," I said as I looked away from him kaya napansin kong namasid si Dravis. 

"Are you okay, Dravis?" Prince Renz asked Dravis, "Yes, Your Highness," He answered after drinking a water bago napatingin sa akin kaya tinignan ko siya ng matalim. Prince Renz looked at me since he notices Dravis look in my way kaya patay malisya akong sumubo ng kinakain ko.

"Hm," We eat in silence and after that, we went back to where we are as Dravis and Kerz ay nagpaiwan para mag-ayos kaya na una kaming bumalik nina Prince Renz at Ian. Umupo si Prince Renz sa dating inupuan siya while Ian went to the opposite so they are facing each other habang ako ay nakatayo pa din. 

"Take a seat Avy," Prince Renz said as he signed to sit beside him which has an empty chair kaya napatingin din ako kay Ian who is looking at me with a sharp gaze as if he is saying that 'huwag akong tumabi sa kaniya'-look. 

I sighed as I went to the sofa in the center as I notice Ian smiles a little while Prince Renz is still smiling but his eyes tell something.

"Your Highness, we have found forty-five bombs and we also checked the area. May I know how many bombs did you found?" I asked before he asked me how did I know about the bombs.

"We also found forty-five bombs so we are lacking ten bombs," Prince Renz said seriously.

"Also, we don't know who are they targeting in the palace tomorrow but we can narrow it down," Ian said while thinking.

"Yes, it may be the Emperor or me but I doubt that they will attack the Empress, however, they might use the bombs to looked like they are attacking the Royal family." Prince Renz said.

Nakikinig lang ako sa kanila, "I agree, Your Highness. You should be more be careful." Ian said as he looked at Prince Renz.

"I have you so I am not worried." Prince Renz said while smiling at Ian while Ian just looked at him with an uninterested look.

"I know but still you should be careful since they might try to separate us," Ian said. Ian has a point since Ian seems his bodyguard than Dravis and Kerz who usually beside him. 

"I am aware." He answered. "Then, how do we find the remaining ten bombs?" Ani ko dahil bigla silang tumahimik kaya naglakas loob akong magsalita, "We can do that early in the morning so you two stay in my residence today." Prince Renz said to us kaya napatingin kaming dalawa sa kaniya.

"No, we will go back," Ian said.

"Why?" Prince Renz asked, "It's not your concern, Your Highness," He answered. I know why he wants us to go home dahil mag-uusap kami ng masinsinan but we can't waste any time since Prince Renz is much closer to the palace.
