Chapter 2
"So, this is her youngest child's palace?"
A man in black clothing entered the Monice Palace through the balcony, quietly walking inside the room of the youngest child of the Aileth Empire.
"Bingo." Bulong nito sa sarili nang makita ang natutulog na sanggol sa kaniyang crib.
He walked towards the crib, as quiet as possible, not making any sound that can stir the baby awake. Mahirap na at sanggol ito, baka biglang umiyak nang malakas kapag nagising.
Asar niyang tinignan ang sanggol na kasalukuyang natutulog. Sobrang himbing ng tulog nito. Despite the rumors that he is abandoned by the ruler of the empire, he's living the comfortable life, which annoyed the intruder. What a lucky bastard the Imperial Prince is.
He sheathed the dagger inside his clothing, taking it out before raising it above the 3-months-old prince. He smirked before stabbing the dagger on the small body but before it even reached the child, it stopped mid-air.
Napakunot ang noo nito at sinubukan ulit na saksakin ang sanggol ngunit katulad kanina ay tumigil ito bago pa man magalaw ang bata. That's when he noticed what was wrong.
The child is wrapped around a magical barrier that can only be activated when the person it is protecting is sleeping. Saka lang ito nagpapakita when it senses danger coming to the person being protected. Now, this is a huge problem for the assassin.
Loki, who was sleeping soundly, heard some shuffling near him that caused him to wake up. He rubbed his eyes tiredly using his small fist, eyes opening, meeting the gaze of the man who wears black clothing.
Thinking it was only a staff in the palace, he was about to go back to sleep when his eyes accidentally saw the dagger in the man's hand. Napansin din ng lalaki na nakita ito ng sanggol kaya mabilis niyang itinaas sa ere ang dagger para saksakin ito.
Loki closed his eyes in fear!
Mamamatay na naman ba siya ulit?! Patay na naman ba?! Nung unang pagkamatay niya ay hindi man lang niya namalayan tapos wala pa siyang isang buwan sa mundong ito ay mamamatay na naman siya! Malas ba talaga siya or what? Wala naman siyang balat sa pwet, ah.
Instead na sakit ang maramdaman niya, it was a horrifying scream that he heard kaya napamulat ulit siya. Nanlaki ang mga mata niya sa takot nang makitang naputol ang kamay ng lalaking nagtangka sa buhay niya, the hand landing beside his small feet along with the dagger!
"What's a rat doing here?"
Kinabahan si Loki nang makarinig siya ng mga yabag na patungo sa pwesto niya.
"So, may iba pa palang daga rito? It's been a long time since I played with a rat. Is this a gift to avoid boredom?"
Loki nearly had a heart attack when someone towered over his frail body. Kinilabutan siya nang makita ang mukha nitong may talsik ng dugo, has a tiny smirk on his lips as he stared at him na para bang nakikita nito ang kaluluwa nito. The boy's blond hair that was similar to the color of gold swayed slightly as he moved closer to Loki whose breath hitched, familiar purple jewel-like eyes stared at him intently.
"Oh, you're awake?"
Hindi siya pwedeng magkamali! This boy towering over his crib and his body is definitely him!
Ares, the obsessive and psycho antagonist from the book!
The only difference from the book and the current situation is that Ares is a kid. An 8 years old kid with blood stains in his sharp features.
The thought of changing him suddenly vanished from Loki's mind. Akala niya ay kaya niyang baguhin ang mga kapatid niya if ever dahil bata pa sila but how can he changed someone who's already this crazy ever since he was born?
