Chapter 66

"Lokesio."

Loki hummed, looking behind his back and saw his eldest brother, the Crown Prince, Hades.

He greeted the white haired man with a small smile. "Hi, Kuya."

"Was that Young Lady Daivat just now?" The oldest asked, tinatanaw ang papalayo nang karwahe.

"Yes, pauwi na siya." Loki replied. "I bought things for her using my allowance, just so you know."

"I know about that. I'm not here for that, though." Hades looked at him with so much seriousness kaya nagtaka si Loki. "Let's talk. Follow me."

Nauna na itong tumalikod, hindi hinintay ang sagot ng nakababatang kapatid. Wala tuloy nagawa ang bunso kundi ang sumunod sa panganay.

"Both of you are still alive?" Gulat na sambit ni Iris pagkapasok niya sa kulungan nina Monet at Janet, hindi niya mapigilang hindi mamangha dahil doon.

"I-iris?" Nanghihinang tawag ni Monet, puno ng dugo ang suot na damit, kagagaling lang sa pagmamalupit sa kaniya ni Eunice bago pumasok si Iris sa kulungan kaya umalis muna si Eunice para gawin ang duties niya as the Chancellor of the empire.

Iris smiled. "Hi."

Iris yelped when Janet suddenly threw herself near Iris' feet, kaya lang ay hindi siya tuluyang makalapit because her ankles and wrists are chained on the wall.

"Iris, h-help me! Wala akong g-ginawang masama! Tulungan m-mo ko!" Iyak nito, hirap na hirap huminga.

"Calm down, woman." Iris sighed, crouching down para mapantayan ang nakadapang katulong.

"P-please..." Suminok pa ito. "Tell Her Imperial Majesty na wala akong ginawang masama. It wasn't me. Hindi ako 'yon, Iris..." She sobbed.

"Iris..." Maging si Monet ay napaiyak na. "Please...! We're begging Her Majesty our lives! Please, help us..."

"Why would you beg Her Majesty for your lives when hindi naman siya ang naging biktima sa nangyari?" Kunot noong tanong ni Iris. "Besides, why would I report to Her Imperial Majesty eh hindi naman siya ang nagsabing pumunta ako rito. And I'm not here to help you."

"H-huh?" Sabay na napa-angat ng tingin ang dalawa kay Iris.

The blonde haired woman stood up, blue eyes turned cold and dark. Slowly, her hand from the pocket of her gown revealed the dagger she holds.

She smiled. "I'm here to kill you to fulfill my master's orders."

"M-master?" Naguguluhan ang dalawa.

Iris sighed annoyingly.

"Are you really slow or just plain dumb?" Hindi niya napigilan ang tabas ng dila niya. "There's only one person I serve as my master here in the palace grounds."

Her red lips curled up into a tiny smirk.

"And it's His Highness, the Third Imperial Prince."

The two maids shivered, eyes widening. Hindi sila makapaniwala sa narinig.

The Third Prince who's as sweet as a candy, ordering Iris to kill them? That's impossible! Really impossible!

But their hope vanishes into thin air when someone clears their throat behind Iris.

And there stood the Imperial Prince in question, leaning on the cell door with his arms crossed in front of his chest, cold purple jewel-like eyes looking down on them with nothing but blank stares.

"You still haven't killed them, Iris?"

His voice was cold, far from the sweet and gentle voice he has every time he talks to someone.
