Space Between Us

Chapter 52 (For Me)

***

"You're really doing this? You know what will happen here" Dr. Alfein frustratingly said to Prince Asher.

"I have to, she asked me to bring Xyrill" Napamewang ang doctor sa sagot ni Asher.

"We're going to get killed Your Highness" Inangat ng prinsipe ang kaniyang ulo at tumingin kay Dr. Alfein.

"I don't plan on getting you killed. That's why you're coming with us" Nanlaki ang mata ni Alfein sa sinabi ni Asher. "You're too valuable to die Dr. Alfein and with Xyrill's condition she needs you more than me" Dahil nga si Dr. Alfein lang ang may alam sa buong condition ni Xyrill at ang pinagkaka-tiwalaan ni Asher, hindi siya pwedeng mawala.

"What?! If I come with you my team will be detain! Or worst get killed by the Emperor" Sagot ng doctor sa prinsipe.

"We have to make sacrifices Alfein. And she already did a lot. We can't let her burden all of that" Agad nawala ang namumuong galit kay Alfein nang sabihin iyon ng prinsipe. She knows the woman that Asher has been working too.

Pero naisip ni Alfein ang pinaka-kinakatakutan niyang mangyari. Meshuga was also part of their plan to save Xyrill with artificial blood but she doesn't have any connections to the woman they're working for.

"They will be moving her to Royals Domain this morning. The securities will be hard to pass by, we should do it right now" Even it may be hard for Alfein to make a decision, he still went for their original plan.

Asher smiled when he heard that from the doctor. It means he will come with them.

"Prepare everything that she needed. I'm going to get her out of here. Let's meet in our usual place" Tumango si Alfein at pinanood ang papaalis na prinsipe.

For the nth time, the Emperor tried to contact the his mysterious messenger but failed. Pagkatapos nitong magpaalam ay hindi na niya ito uli maka-usap.

He's also pissed because the plan to go to Xeriolas was cancelled because of what happened to her Empress. As well the other plans that he made once they arrive at Xeriolas.

And since the news is still not in public, the Emperor knew that it will create an outburst from the people and the people of Aes Sidhe.

How bad it will be if the people around the world know that the Empress was poisoned in the presence of the Emperor and the Princes. Not to add that some people are already suspecting him of doing it.

Since the Emperor didn't take a sip on his wine that time, he didn't know that it was poisoned.

That thought made him think. He knew that Prince Clovis noticed the taste of the wine. That leaves Prince Aurelius and Asher, he remembered that both of them drank the wine. They should notice that.

"Prince Aurelius will take your throne"

The disoriented voice echoed on his head. With everything that happened, the Emperor now believed that this may happen.

He firmly hold onto his Shik in anger.

He stood up on his chair and walk closer to his office window. Since the Royals Domain is in the middle, he can see the main gate of the Palace from there.

Nalipat ang kaniyang attention ng may kumatok sa office niya. Nakita niya sa monitor sa kaniyang table na si Herra ang nasa labas. Automatic bumakas ang pinto.

And by the looks of Herra's face, the Emperor knew that his information is huge. "I'm here about your task for me" Bungad ni Herra pagkatapos nitong mag bow sa Emperor.
