Chapter 118

"You mean..."

Loki stared at his uncle with blank eyes.

"Become your... Crown Prince? Something like that?" Mas kumunot ang noo niya.

Mycroft shook his head. "It is not something like that. It is like that."

"Hmm? No." Kaagad niyang sagot.

Being a crown prince is a handy work. Besides, he's too busy for that. He's busy unveiling all the happenings in the first life to avoid the problems that can lead to his family's downfall. And up until now, he only has a few clues. Magdadagdag pa siya ng trabaho niya? 'Wag na.

"You do know that becoming the Crown Prince in this empire is beneficial to you, right?"

"I already have a relationship with your empire. I don't need more." Loki crossed his arms, relaxing on the couch.

Mycroft's eyebrows rose.

"You think V is a good enough excuse?" He scoffed. "Sooner or later, the grand temple will find a way to terminate your relationship with V. And I'm telling you, their ways are extremely dangerous."

"I can handle myself."

"Not to you." Mycroft said. "I'm talking about the people around you. You brought that..." He sighed. "Woman with you, right?"

"Woman?" Tumaas ang kilay ni Loki, noticing the hostility of the Emperor.

"That nanny of yours." He explained briefly.

"My Iris? What about her?" Kalmado nitong tanong. "Dahil mapapahamak siya rito, sa lupaing ito? We have it covered. Do not worry about her."

"I am not worried about that woman."

Mycroft showed disgust kaya na-insulto si Loki roon ngunit nanatiling tahimik.

"I am worried about what will happen to this empire. My people. My land. And to you, my nephew. Especially to that person who you're trying to protect that lives here."

That got Loki's attention. For some reason, his gut feeling is telling him that this uncle of his knows something big and mysterious.

"The grand temple is a dangerous enemy, Lokesio. They managed to get rid of the bloodline you came from by using the people around them as baits. They are serious in erasing your entire existence."

He's definitely talking about his father and his family causing Loki to laugh humorlessly.

"Why is the temple even doing this? Why are they set on erasing this bloodline you're talking about?"

Mycroft stared at him. "It seems like that nanny and mother of yours did not reveal everything to you. How long do they plan to keep you in the dark?" He sighed, disappointment can be heard. "They are fully aware of your capabilities yet they still try to exclude you from your whole identity. Do they really think they can protect you if you remain oblivious to the whole truth?"

"Stop judging their actions on how they think they should protect me." Sumama ang tingin ni Loki sa tito niya.

Mycroft smiled strictly. "They already failed once because that's what they did. They lost you, didn't they? Around this time?"

Parang napaliguan nang malamig na malamig na tubig si Loki sa narinig.

He stared at the Emperor with wide eyes, mouth slowly opening. Maging si Romeo ay nagtaka sa sinabi nito.

"Hindi sila titigil kahit na hindi ikaw ang prinsipe rito, Lokesio. As long as you live, you will always be a hindrance to them. Something they should discard."
