Space Between Us

Chapter 28 (Nowhere to go)

"We cleared the main city, looks like everyone is safe" Astrid said as she showed the pictures of the City to Prince Aurelius.

"How's the border?" Tanong ni Aurelius kay Speros gamit ang armlet. Right now Speros is at the border between Eglesos and Xeriolas. Since Eglesos is near at Xeriolas where the only place that is not under their ruling.

"Everything is good Your Highness" rinig nilang dalawa na sagot ni Speros.

"We will be staying here for a while so better gear up. But don't worry, we're going back before the Emperor's wedding" Paliwanag ni Prince Aurelius kay Astrid habang naririnig din ni Speros sa kanyang armlet.

Napatingin naman silang dalawa sa bagong dating na si Leif kasama ang ilan sa mga noble family na nakatira sa Eglesos.

Agad naman silang nag bow ng makita nila ang prinsipe. "Thank you Your Highness! The Abydos Empire save the Eglesos" The Prince then flash a smirk.

"I wouldn't say 'save', more like under new management" Napaangat naman ang tingin ang mga head ng noble family sa sinabi ni Prince Aurelius, pero agad din silang nag bow ng makita nilang nakatitig sa kanila ang prinsipe.

"The Palace is just taking back what is originally ours" Dagdag ni Aurelius. The Eglesos is already under the Abydos Empire not until it was taken by the Xeriolas.

Many places was taken away from Abydos when their grandfather and father ruled over. And finally with their new ruler, his brother. They got most of the places that the past Emperor lost. That's why everyone thought that the current Emperor is an efficient ruler. He alone took back all the past Emperor lost.

Lumabas na ang mga head ng noble family sa ship na sinasakyan ni Prince Aurelius. Lahat ng prinsipe ay may sari-sariling ship na sila lang at ang crew nito ang pwedeng sumakay.

"How about the rest of them?" Tanong ni Aurelius kay Leif. He is talking about the other noble families who refused to the be under the rule of Abydos.

"They're currently being detained" maikling sagot ni Leif.

"They really pushing my temper huh? Let's go, I wanna go and play with them a bit" Kinuha ni Aurelius ang kanyang Shik at naunang lumabas sa Main Control unit ng ship niya. Habang sila Leif at Astrid ay tahimik na sumunod.

"These are the same family who flew away from the other country and came here. Probably because they don't want to be under the Abydos Empire" Paliwanag ni Leif habang naglalakad sila palaalis.

"That's better, I wouldn't feel guilty on what I might do to them" then he flashed his famous smile again.

Tsaka naman tumingin si Leif kay Astrid na seryoso ngayon ang mukha. Isa lang naman sa mga pamilyang iyon ang may kasalanan kay Astrid.

Xyrill

"Huwag mo muna isipin yun Xyrill. The wedding should be your first priority" rinig kong sabi sa akin ni Krea

Napapikit na lang ako, halos hindi ako makatulog kagabi dahil diyan. Siguro medyo shock lang ako kung paano sila magkaanak pero mas nagaalala ako para sa sarili ko.

"Krea I'm too young to have a child, in this world and in Earth" lumapit naman si Krea sa gilid ko tsaka niya ako hinawakan sa balikat. "Then don't, I'm sure the Emperor wouldn't mind that" tsaka siya umupo sa gilid ko.

Napakunot naman ako ng noo. "What do you mean?"

"You know that we're still in a war right. His Highness would be too busy with the war" I sighed. Sa dami ko nang napanood ng drama alam ko na nangyayari kapag nakasal ka sa isang royal chuchu na yan.
