Ethan's POV
I was busy on my computer inside my room when I heard something downstairs. Mukhang dumating na si Black kaya tumayo ako at tumingin sa orasan.
It's already eleven in the evening.
I went out of my room. Pagdating ko sa sala, wala doon si Black kaya pumasok ako sa kusina. He's drinking a glass of water and just glanced at me.
"What happened?"
Earlier, he went to Zedler Mansion to ask a few things to Head regarding our next moves. Hindi na kami sumama nila Stephen pero hindi namin inaasahan na matatagalan siya doon.
He placed the glass on the sink before looking at me.
"The other two?"
"Already sleeping."
Tumango naman siya at sumandal sa pader.
"Something unexpected happened," he said. "The second and third side already joined forces."
I frowned. "What do you mean?"
"Our parents were there when I arrived. Not just them but also the leaders of Gehenna and Shadows, including Mr. Montefalco. Daniel Avelino, Kenzo, Ariel Vancar, and Mr. Marcelo are also there."
"What? But why?"
"I don't know. It looks like they are in the middle of a meeting when I arrived."
Natahimik ako. Daniel Avelino is Magda Avelino's brother but they are not in good terms. But what is he doing there? And also the others?
"Do you think it's about the Queens?"
He fell silent for a few seconds but also shook his head.
"I'm not sure. But I think it's about the heiresses."
"Of Underground City?" I asked and he nodded. "Like Kiera Morgiana?"
He nodded. "I'm not sure. But Head told me they are now our allies."
"Wala na ba siyang ibang sinabi sayo?"
"Wala na," he said. "Except that he said we should focus with the other Generals and keep an eye on them."
Napatango-tango ako at napabuntong hininga. Mukhang iyon nga lang ang magagawa namin sa ngayon.
Nakakagulat iyong sinabi ngayon ni Black. But I don't think we should worry about that. Ayos nga na kakampi na din namin ang parents namin.
"I'm not sure why they suddenly decided to join us but I'm sure about one thing," he said and seriously looked at me. "They are hiding something."

"Anong oras ka nga pala dumating kagabi?"
Napatingin kami kay Stephen nang bigla niyang tanungin si Black habang naglalakad kami papuntang classroom.
"Eleven."
"Ang late naman. Siguro pumunta ka pa ng bar, 'no?"
Black just frowned at him while Giovanni hit his nape. I just shrugged because I'm already used to them.
"Pwede bang manahimik ka na lang? Kung ano-ano talaga naiisip mo."
"Malamang! May isip ako eh."
"Sure ka d'yan?"
