Xyrill

He's more grumpy now than yesterday. Ano naman nangyari sa kaniya? Ganoon ba siya kainis ng hindi ako um-attend?

I let out a sigh. May isa pa nga akong problema. Ang sabi sa akin ni Krea, hindi daw bumalik kagabi si Egilior kaya hinahanap nila ngayon. I don't know, I don't like how I'm feeling right now.

Hindi bumalik ang isa kong kaibigan tapos wala pa kami sa Palace. Sabi nga nila Krea, hindi pa sila nakakapunta dito.

I'm having breakfast with the Emperor again. Ngayon hindi ko na alam kung galit ba siya o sadyang ganyan talaga ang mukha niya.

I know he's ruthless. But after hearing Clovis stories. I kinda feel sympathy for him. It must be hard to do all the work left by his grandfather and their father for at least 40 years. While everyone is pressuring him.

Pero hindi ko ma-imagine yung 'caring and loving' brother siya noong bata pa lang sila. Minsan nga nakikita ko na kahit mga kapatid niya takot sa kaniya.

"Tomorrow we will have dinner with the other Princes" Gusto ko naman mapasigaw sa sinabi ng Emperor. Bakit kailangan kasama pa ako? Every time pa naman na magka-kasama kami hindi nawawala na may naga-away.

What a mess.

"I want to conduct a search operation" He lifted his head to look at me. Those pair of gold eyes is so empty.

"For who?" Tanong niya. Inilabas ko naman ang picture ni Egilior at binigay sa kaniya.

"For her, she's my servant and a friend. She didn't return last night in my room. If my other servants can't find her until lunch, I have the operation" I doubt that he knows Egilior.

"Do what you want" He said and return to whatever he is doing. Wow. Thanks.

Hindi na ako sumagot dahil naiinis lang ako.

"Clovis told me stories when you were young" Mukhang nakuha ko naman ang atensyon niya. Itinabi niya ang hawak niyang tablet at kinuha ang cup niya sa lamesa.

"You ascended the throne at the age of 25. In this world age that is still young. How did you do it and What happened?" Hindi ko alam kung galit siya na kinakausap ko siya. He is just looking at me. Alam mo yung taong naka-earphones tapos kinakausap pa. Feeling ko ganoon ang itsura niya.

"What do you mean by what happened?" Well I didn't expect him to answer or even talk to me.

"Base on your brother's stories. You seems like a nice and good guy. What happened to you then?" Hindi ko alam kung paano ko pa nagagawang itanong sa kaniya to.

Siguro dahil dati pakiramdam ko yung tingin niya parang galit pero ngayon kase parang 'wala' lang talaga.

"People change" Maikling niyang sagot pero hindi ako convinced sa sagot niya.

"Did the system got into you? I pity how your parents didn't really care about all of you. Maybe you're just broken and hide all your emotions" I don't know, because on Earth people do that as a coping mechanisms when they're in their lowest point which is not good.

Hindi siya sumagot pero nakatingin lang siya sa akin. Pero yung mukha niya sobrang seryoso. Did I hit the bullseye?

"As I said. People change" Kinuha na niya uli ang tablet niya at tumayo.
