Chapter 15 Dethrone
• 👑 •
Sylas de Luca groaned as he opened his eyes slowly. His eyes widened and he immediately sat down, realizing what just happened to him. Napawak kaagad siya sa dibdib niya. He was starting to breathe heavily. He was confused when he noticed an IV needle injected in his right hand. Napatingin din siya sa suot niyang hospital gown. His eyes scanned the surroundings and he finally realized he was currently confined in a hospital. He was trying himself to remember what happened to him before...
Princess Amalia suddenly appeared in front of his apartment's door. The princess was frantic especially what happened to Gonzalo Martin, the royal family's most trusted butler. Gonzalo, who was also a senior member of the Freedom of Peace Association, got arrested by the King's royal guards. Amalia was hysterical thinking Madrid Anselmo, the King and her own brother—would do the same to her. But then just an hour after, they were interrupted with a consecutive loud knocks coming from the door. The people knocking introduced themselves as the royal guards and they were going to arrest the princess for treason.
Everything was fast. Pilit na kinakaladkad ng mga ito si Amalia mula sa kanya. Amalia was already crying and practically begging the guards not to arrest her. He tried to convince the guards to arrest him instead of the princess. The guards didn't listen and was becoming violent towards the princess.
Sylas tried to protect the princess by grabbing her arm and taking her away from them—but one royal guard shot him. He got shot multiple times at his chest.
And he lost his consciousness.
"Sylas, thank God, you're alive." A familiar male voice suddenly spoke. Napatingin siya sa gilid niya at nakita si Gonzalo. Mas lalo siyang naguluhan.
"Anong nangyari?" Tanong niya rito. "P-Paano ka nakalabas? N-Nasaan si Amalia?"
"You survived the shots. It was actually a miracle but I think this locket that you kept inside your coat, saved your life." Napakunot-noo siya nang mapansing kung sino ang biglang nagsalita. The man looked very familiar to him. He looked like they were of the same age. His black hair was messy and there were growing stubbles around his chin. He has the same eyes with Amalia...
"Y-Your highness..." Sylas finally recognized him. He was Amalia's full-blooded brother, Prince Phaedron Lukas. The one brother that Amalia always talked about. The one who went to Switzerland to start a new life, leaving his sister alone in this shit of a country.
"Amalia gave this locket to you?" Anito at nilapitan siya para i-abot dito ang locket. Tinanggap niya iyon at napansing medyo nayupi ang itsura nito. It seemed like the locket shielded him from a bullet.
