"Here it is, Your Highness!" Itinulak ni Vasco ang isa sa mga spy na nahanap nila sa Palace. Kasabay ng dalawa na sapilitang pinaluhod nila Zogofros at Tarchon sa harap ng Emperor.

"We will not say something" salita kaagad ng isa sa mga spy.

"You don't have to" sagot ni Ofroi sa kanila at tsaka may binasa sa tablet.

"Figo Halls, Nizan Mayer and Visse Tecson" halata sa mukha ng mga spy ang pagkagulat ng sabihin ni Ofroi ang kanilang mga pangalan.

Tahamik na nakatitig sa kanila ang Emperor habang nakaupo ito sa harap nila. And beside his seat, an empty chair that suppose to be a throne for the Empress.

"Visse and Figo have living families from Eglesos while Nizan is from Xeriolas. We already track down your families so you better speak up" pagbabanta ni Klaus sa tatlo.

"You can't kill them! They are under the protection of Emperor Morax!" Sigaw ni Nizan na hindi ikinatuwa ng mga Knights na nakapaligid sa kanila ngayon.

"ARGH!" Another scream escape from Nizan mouth after he was electrified by a cuff around his neck.

"How dare you say that name here!"

Napatigil naman ang lahat ng pumasok sa throne room ang tatlong prinsipe. Nag bow naman ang mga Knights sa mga prinsipe.

Si Prince Clovis ang unang nakapansin sa mga spy na nakaluhod ngayon sa harap ng Emperor.

"Oh you finally got them"

"They've been here for like 5 hours. Took you longer than I expected" dagdag ni Prince Clovis. He hates the Palace that's why he never stay on a place for a very long time. That's how he figured out that there are spy in the Palace.

"You know about them? Why didn't you alarmed the Knights?" Tanong ni Vasco kay Clovis.

"Mr. Vasco that's not my job, doesn't it?" Clovis answered back. The two of them start a starring contest. But they immediately stop when Eguzki start talking.

"Based on what Prince Clovis said. The only reason why they're here is because they're waiting for Lady Xyrill" napataas ang kilay ng Emperor sa sinabi ni Eguzki. Napaigting naman ang panga ng isa sa mga spy.

"How dare you use a Somniator! They're the reason why the Granzreich are in power! You should be the one bowing to them!" Pag sabat ni Visse. Kasabay nun ang sabay-sabay na masamang titig sa kanya ng Emperor at ng tatlong prinsipe.

Lumapit si Prince Aurelius sa harap ni Visse dala-dala ang isang tablet at tsaka ito tinapat sa kanyan mukha.

"Do it" utos nito tila bang may kausap, kasunod nito ang sunod-sunod na putok ng baril.

Tumambad sa mukha ni Visse ang video ng kanyang kamag-anak na nakababad sa kanilang sariling dugo.

"And they're also the same reason why your family is dead right now" And then the Prince flash a sinister smile on Visse.

Behind his angelic face is a person who is yearning for blood of his enemies. A true war freak.

Dahan-dahan niyang pinanood ang pagpatak ng luha ni Visse at tsaka niya ito pinunasan. "Don't worry, We will take care of you here" And they received another electrocute from the cuff in their necks making them pass out.

Tumayo si Prince Aurelius habang dinadala ng mga royal guards ang mga katawan ng tatlong spy.

Nabalot sila ng tahimik ngunit agad itong sinira ng magsalita si Tarchon. "Where is Lady Xyrill? You just landed here in Abydos and she's nowhere to find" tanong niya kay Eguzki.
