Reborn as the Tyrant's Son

Chapter 68

Chapter 68

"It's hard to please the Young Lady Daivat."

Iris can't help but say that as she fixed Loki's bed para makapagpahinga na ang alaga niya. Hindi pa rin siya makapaniwala na umuwi si Cherish when she and the youngest prince are playing hide and seek. That was cheating!

Loki laughed. "Don't hate her too much, Iris. This is the plan."

"I don't understand, Your Imperial Highness." Iris shook her head, sighing. "You're being rejected every time you want to be closer to her. How is this the plan?"

Loki climbed on his bed as Iris placed his blanket on the lower half of his body dahil nakaupo pa siya sa kaniyang sariling kama.

"It's all an act, Iris." He said making Iris to tilt her head in puzzlement.

"To others, it looks like I'm trying to please her, wanting her attention. But for us, it's nothing but a process para sa gusto naming mangyari. A step-by-step for our goal."

Hindi pa rin maintindihan ni Iris ang nais sabihin ng kaniyang alaga.

"Iris, if you don't know what's happening behind the scenes, what will you think?" Loki asked.

Iris hummed, thinking.

"First, I will think that you only want to be closer to her as a friend."

She bit her lower lips, imagining hard.

"But if time goes by, I'll start thinking that you really like her and that you're doing your best to get her attention. Na hindi mo na napapansin na nahuhulog ka na."

"And why would you think about that?" He smiled.

"Because you're willing to do everything for her?" Iris answered, not sure.

Loki snapped his fingers. "Exactly." He said.

"People around us will think that I'm slowly going to favor her. So, what lengths will the youngest Imperial Prince do for the Young Lady of the Daivat Family? What will he do..."

Loki met her gaze with a small mischievous smirk on his lips.

"If someone tried to do something to that Young Lady he favors so much?"

Iris' eyes widened as she slowly realized what Loki was implying.

"The Young Lady know about this?"

"Of course, she does." He nodded his head. "The Young Lady is quick to catch up on my schemes. Besides, this is what she meant about thinking if I'm worthy to be a tool for her. She wants to check on how good I am at fooling the people around me. This is also a long way step para maitatag ang status niya rito sa palasyo. Our first target is my palace, of course."

"And we have a long way to go."

"Are you ready, Your Imperial Highness?" Cherish asked. Winasiwas niya ang hawak na wooden sword, readying herself to attack Loki.

Nobody saw the small smirk on Cherish's lips, only Loki and Iris. How her eyes glowed a bit or how she released a small magical energy from her palm for today's show and plan.

Loki smiled, knowing to himself what will happen. "Yes, my la--"

"Halaaa!"

Everyone's attention went to the maid who's holding lots of wooden swords. Natapilok siya, the reason why the wooden swords in her arms went flying up, falling from there. Ang hindi niya alam ay natapilok siya dahil sa kapangyarihan ni Cherish.
