His chuckle filled the private space. Moaz even held the couch and his abdomen. "Ugh!" He look at me with fake excitement. "That was such a hilarious show, Victoriegna!"

"Fake," the Queen repeated.

"No, he did attack me first." Owinis stood behind me giving the Queen an assuring look. "Everything happen because of him..." He gestured a look at Cozmo and our members. Though they have problem digesting what lie we are commiting, they nod.

"Tapos... nanapak na sila Tier," kinamot ni Vienn ang batok niya nang 'di masalubong ang mata ng Reyna. "Nagulat lang din ho kami, ano."

"The heck?!" Eury blurted with a sharp timbre. She's about to come for us when Moaz raise his hand. His eyes firmly laid on mine. Like he want to hear what I am going to spill.

"Now it's my fault?" 'Di ko na muling sinubok na magsalita.

"Objection, you're pressuring her," Cozmo smirked.

"Well because that's fabrication."

"She only stated what she saw. A big fact that you're too wild, Kuya," Owinis brought emphasize. Nanatiling diretso ang titig ko sa kawalan. At sa loob loob ay pilit na pinagduduldulan na tama lang ang ginawa ko.

"Enough," just a word from her majesty, they fell silent. Binitawan narin ako sa wakas, mistulan akong nawalan ng kadena sa leeg paglayo niya. Subalit 'di maitatago ang makahulugan niyang iniwang titig saakin bago hinarap ang lahat. "What Vira said, is said. You can't change it."

"Wow," someone whispered in disbelief.

"However, to make it fair on both side of the party. I will not base the truth from her objective alone. To make this clear and cut the tension at last, I will speak with both King."

"Bakit sila lang?" Bonn raised his hand.

The Queen nod at him and gave a cold stare on the two. "A real King carries discipline. If they can't handle themselves, how much for a whole kingdom?" She face everyone of us. "A real leader requires willingness to act like one even in the midst of anger. Governance is all about being the best example."

Tuloy tuloy siyang lumabas pagbukas ng pintuan, tanging makikita nalang paglayo niya ay ang kapang sumasayaw sa hangin. Nag-echo sa silid ang mga kataga niya. Pagbitaw ng magkapatid ng tingin sa isa't isa tahimik silang sumunod sa Reyna.

Butler Weston cleared his throat. "Next riot will bring you consequences. You shall face great punishment, no one is exempted." He bowed. "You are dismissed."

Lumabas na si butler Weston. Walang bumali sa katahimikan, sumenyas si Neddie na 'wag nalang uusap sa kahit anong panunumbat ang gawin nila Eury.

'Di ako nakapalag nang may bumangga saaking braso. Hinarangan nila Eury ang aking daan, sa gilid niya ay sila Tier na gusto na akong saktan.

"Nanahimik na kami dito," pagtatanggol ni Jersey saakin paglapit. Nadama ko din ang pagsunod nila Vienn at Neddie.

Tinapunan kami isa-isa ni Eury ng natatawang titig. "What could I even expect?" She hissed crossing her arms. "Anak mahirap eh. Kaya turo ng magulang magnakaw.... manira..." Tinulak niya ang braso ko gamit ang hintuturo. "Magsinungaling."

"Lumayo na kayo sabi!" Humarang sila Tier kina Vienn. Alam kong mainit nanaman ang titigan na nangyare. Samantala, nasolo ako ni Eury.

"Madungis, maamoy at papansin na nga. Gan'yan ka pala pinalaki, Vira? Wala man lang bang natapos ang magulang mo?"
