Reborn as the Tyrant's Son

Chapter 111

Chapter 111

"Your Imperial Highness, we've arrived."

Iris' words snapped some sense to Loki who has been quiet the whole ride since he woke up. Tulala at malalim ang iniisip, na napansin naman nila Romeo at Iris pero hindi na lamang nila pinuna. Iris was used to it, after all.

Loki looked outside and saw that the Imperial Carriage was entering the gates of a grand mansion.

Sa gilid ng gate ay may disenyong white rhododendron flower sa gitna ng gold na pa-diamond ang shape. It's probably the family's emblem.

"Right... We are not staying in the palace." Loki remembered.

Hindi sila pwedeng mag-stay muna sa palace because his identity shall remain a secret for now, hanggang sa ibunyag ito ng Emperor ng Ferrucio Empire mismo.

He has to stay low for the time being. It's for his safety naman na siyang napagkasunduan ng Empress at ng Emperor.

Loki's party arrived first dahil kahit saan naman ay kaya nilang matulog. Meanwhile, the other party, the aristocrat's faction na kasali sa delegation, has to stay in an inn for their comfort.

Sanay naman na ang Imperial Family sa gano'ng gawain. Besides, it's better for the head of the delegation to arrive first para masiguradong ligtas ang tutuluyan ng buong delegation.

Romeo opened the carriage door when it finally stopped. Inalalayan niya pababa si Iris, at sunod si Loki.

"Welcome to our humble abode, Your Imperial Highness."

A soft smile greeted Loki.

The blond-haired man's red eyes closed as his lips tugged upwards, showing his gentle demeanor to his guests.

Nagugulat at napapahiyang napangiti si Loki. "Count Vwinter."

It was Sif's father!

Hindi niya alam na sa kanila pala sila manunuluyan!

His gaze then landed on the woman beside the Count.

The woman has a beautiful red hair na hindi naman gano'n ka-dark, at hindi rin gano'n ka-light ang kulay, sakto lang. Her peach eyes eyed him strictly, tumaas ang isang kilay before nodding softly as a greeting.

Her face has sharp features na nakuha ni Sif, panigurado.

"This is my wife, Kana." Lumingon siya sa asawa. "And Kana, this is His Imperial Highness, Aileth Morana di Lokesio."

"Good evening, Countess." Sobrang galang ni Loki.

Her head tilted to the side. "You look like the teenage version of your father. Paniguradong ilang beses mo na 'tong narinig."

Loki only smiled as an answer, nahihiya at hindi makaimik nang maayos.

Unconsciously, he looked around as if looking for a certain someone na napansin ni Count Vwinter.

"She's not here, unfortunately." Bigla nitong sabi kaya napatingin kaagad si Loki sa kaniya. "She attended some gathering. Her presence is always needed in other parties. She's that friendly."

"Oh..." Mabagal na tumango si Loki, tinatago ang pagka-dismaya.

"She'll be home soon, don't worry."

Tumaas ang kilay ng asawa nito, naguguluhan sa pinag-uusapan nila ngunit hindi siya nagtanong. Her gaze then landed on Iris kaya kumunot ang noo niya.

"Have we met before? You look kinda familiar." She asked.

Iris smiled. "No, my lady. This will be the first time we meet." Sagot nito, may makahulugang ngiti sa labi.
