Chapter 117
"W-what do you mean, m-my lady?"
It's Loki's turn to panic. He immediately picks up his composure but inside, he's panicking.
He can't help but think if Sif knew about him not being the real Loki. Not the real Lokesio. He's just someone who occupied the kid's body.
Does she know? Does Sifresia really know? How? In what way?
Now that he thinks about it, it seems like Sifresia has the highest importance in real Lokesio's life. The fact that even Callirhoe confirmed that he's been looking at her since their first life.
And the images about her... Add the memory he just had of her.
And his obsession with Sifresia.
He brushed it off for many years, but now it's all coming back to him. The familiarity he had for Sif when they first met. The unknown feeling he has for her. The unconscious actions he's doing just to get her attention. The wanting to just lock her up and such.
It wasn't him. It was the consciousness of his body, as if knowing that it's Sifresia.
Then... What is Sifresia's connection to the real Loki that lead even the consciousness of his body to identify her as her? Na kilala niya ito kahit wala na ang totoong Loki sa katawan niya?
Is she his lover or something? Imposible dahil ganitong edad namatay ang tunay na Lokesio. They're too young for love. Or maybe they have mutual understanding? Young love is what they call it.
But... Bakit nagdududa si Sif sa kaniya ngayon? Is she like Callirhoe who knows that this isn't their first life? Paano?
Or maybe... She's talking about another issue? Imposible naman kasing matandaan nila ang first life nila, Callirhoe excluded.
Hanggang ngayon ay nagtataka pa rin siya kung bakit at paano naalala ni Callirhoe gayong walang alam ang ina, tita, at mga kapatid niya.
"My lady?" He smiled softly. "Please take the dagger away."
Nanatiling nakatitig sa kaniya si Sif, kunot ang noo na pinagmamasdan siya, halatang nanghuhuli. That was until they heard footsteps.
Kaagad na tumayo si Sif, walang sabi-sabing iniwan siya nang dumating si Romeo.
"Your Imperial Highness, what happened?" Kaagad niyang tinulungan si Loki na tumayo.
Loki smiled softly. "We just talked." He assured him.
Nagtataka naman siyang tinitigan ni Romeo.
"Talk? Sa ganoong paraan?" Gulat niyang sabi, napansin ang dagger na nasa tagiliran ng prinsipe kanina. "Your Imperial Highness..."
"She's also your master, don't think anything bad about her." Kusa itong lumabas sa bibig ni Loki kaya bigla siyang natahimik, natauhan sa sinabi.
Seriously... This body knows Sifresia very well. It favors Sifresia. Ito ata ang sinasabi nilang sarili laban sa sarili.
"I will continue walking."
Tinalikuran niya na si Romeo, a signal for his Personal Knight to keep his distance once again, so he bowed to the retreating figure of the prince.
"Yes, Your Imperial Highness."
"Kilos, bilis!"
Everyone is busy because today is the day of the Emperor's grand ball.
"Is His Imperial Prince ready?" Tanong ni Duke Lerwis kay Romeo na nagbabantay sa labas ng pinto ng prinsipe.
