Space Between Us

Chapter 35 (Start of the War)

Kanina pa ako gising pero halos wala akong gana bumangon sa pagkakahiga. I sigh.

"If ever something the same happened to me and the Emperor. Can you guys take my side?"

After I said those words they just stared at me. "As much as possible we wouldn't want that to happen" Sagot ni Astrid.

They didn't give me a direct answer which is understandable. They serve the Royal Family not me. I just thought that maybe they can take my side.

Or maybe I just expected that they will help me. Especially Astrid and Leif but I think I expected too much. They may be my friends but I'm sure they're more loyal to the Imperial Family.

Sinabi ko ang tungkol sa Somniator pero hindi ko sinabi ang nakita kong vision ng Emperor na utos para patayin ako. I was about to tell them about it but base on their answer, I'm glad I didn't tell anything.

"Meow" Napalingon ako sa pusang kanina pa nakatabi sa akin kahit may sarili siyang higaan. "Nagugutom ka na ba?" I ask my cat even though I know that she wouldn't answer.

I set my room to 'don't disturb' para walang makapasok kahit sila Krea. Alam kong naga-alala sila sa akin but I want to be alone for now.

Kagabi ko pa iniisip kung ano gagawin ko kung mangyari nga ang nasa vision ko. Of course the Palace is not the safe place for me.

Ang isang lugar na naiisip ko ay ang Aes Sidhe. But I don't know how to get there. At ayaw ko rin naman madamay ang lugar na yun lalo na at may interest ang Emperor sa Domain. Well they can't open it unless I'm with him.

Tsaka ko naalala ang isang tao na pwedeng makatulong sa akin. As much as possible I don't want many people to know about this but I don't have a choice.

Maybe I should tell him. Maybe he can help me.

Nandito ako ngayon sa loob uli ng Office ko. Hinintay na dumating si Asher.

Narinig ko na ang doorbell sa kwarto ko. "I'm here Your Majesty" Rinig kong boses ni Asher. I tap something on my tablet at tsaka bumukas ang pinto sa office.

Tumayo ako habang pumasok si Asher sa loob ng office at tsaka nag bow sa harap ko.

"Anything I can do for you?" He ask. Umupo ako sa sala at tsaka siya sumunod sa akin at umupo sa harapan ko.

"I know we didn't talk that much for the past few days" Una kong sabi. I wouldn't tell him that the royal family might be involved to the vanishment of the Somniator.

"I'm trusting you again with this" I directly look him into his eyes. Both of us has a serious look in our face.

"I-I think I'm having a vision" After I said that his face didn't change. Parang expected niya na magkakaroon ako ng mga vision.

"Your a Somniator, they're well known with their excemptional skills. And this is one of them" Sagot niya. But I know that already.

Should I tell him about the vision that involves him?

"One of them is I saw you with bloods in your hands" Mabilis kong sagot. Pero katulad lang kanina hindi nagbago ang reaction niya sa sinabi ko.

"What happened?" Seryoso niyang tanong. "I really don't know, matagal ko ng nakita ang vision na yun pero hindi ko sinabi ko sayo dahil hindi rin naman ako sigurado" I saw him thinking.
