Crown Series #1: The Dark Era of Diadem

Part 2: Chapter 122

Kaagad na itinayo ni Bella ang isang ginang na nadapa dahil sa kaguluhan.

"Are you okay?" nag-aalalang tanong nito. May takot sa mukha ng ginang at hindi na siya nito nasagot at tumakbo na lamang papalayo.

Nagtinginan sila ni Valerie dahil alam nilang magiging malala ang mangyayari ngayon.

People are in stampede, panicking, trying to save themselves from this catastrophe.

"Everyone! Evecuate these people to safe areas, kill if you must!" Zeros instructed.

Beasts are continuously appearing in every part of the castle, it's like they are not decreasing, more like, the more you kill them, they'll just multiply.

Pickett is nowhere to be seen, basta na lamang itong tumakbo sa center kung saan may itim na ipo-ipo patuloy na wumawasak sa mga infrastructure.

Nilapitan ni Valerie si Bella habang may pag-aalala sa kaniyang mukha. "I think you should go, Bella. It's dangerous here."

"No! Why would I--"

"You can't even fight! Why would stay here? Are you good with swords? Bow and Arrow? Any weapons? No!" inis na saad nito dahil sa kakulitan ng dalaga.

"And so?! I can help with the evacuation of these people!" sigaw nito sa kaniya.

Valerie groaned and ruffles his hair before grabbing Bella's shoulder.

"Look. We're not sure what's out there and what it can do. So please..." nangungusap na ang mga mata nito.

Ang kaninang inis na ekspresyon ng dalaga ay lumambot.

"Valerie..."

"So please, keep yourself safe for you and for the sake of my mental sake, Bella."

But Bella is persistent and she just can't stand there or run away from there. She can't take the regret that comes with it. These people... she serves them. To have a better ruler, a good monarchy.

"Okay, lovey-dovey lovers. Cut that corny lines! These monsters are invading us!" sigaw ni Golden sa kanila at kaagad na pinugutan ng ulo ang muntik nang sumugod sa kanila.

Lumakbay ang kamay ni Valerie patungo sa palad ni Bella at pinisil nang bahagya ang malambot nitong kamay.

"Be safe," bulong ni Valerie rito nang ipagdikit niya ang kanilang noo.

"I will," sagot ng dalaga. "Let's meet my family once this' over," she whispered hoping that it'll motivate him not to die while in the battle.

There's a ghost smile on Valerie's face as he slightly nods his head. "I can't wait."

Sinamahan ni Valerie si Golden at si Bella ay kaagad na tumakbo at in-escort ang mga taao sa ligtas na lugar.

Then they part ways.

"Lacy!" sigaw na tawag ni Luci dahil napaloob siya sa malaking ipo-ipo. Halos wala na siyang matanaw at makita dahil sa sobrang lakas ng hangin at dilim.

Napatakip siya sa kaniyang mata gamit ang kaniyang braso upang hindi mapuwing.

"Lacy!" tawag niya ulit.

Kahit na malakas ang hangin at medyo cloudy ang kaniyang pandinig, rinig pa rin niya ang sigawan ng mga tao sa labas ng ipo-ipo.

Luci tried on focusing and connecting in his inner spiritual essence to activate his senses to sharp.

Come on, Luci! There's no time to waste!

He spread out his arms and lowering it down in front of hime, before calming himself down. Within just seconds his eyes lit up and turned into a color of ocean blue, the air that surrounds him slowly disperse and he can see clearly now.
