"So, bale konti lang ang nakakaalam ng mga kapangyarihan noong unang panahon? Like, may tawag pa sa kanila. Was it Aberrant Peculiums?"

"Yes."

"And then natuklasan nang pwede palang pag-ensayuhan ang mga abilidad. I mean, yeah, we're training to learn and discover more abilities, so of course. But then, greed intruded so the first grand war happened. Almost everyone was wiped out, so the remaining people retreated and stayed away from each other."

"Yeah, nagkaniya-kaniya na silang lugar. Like, those with wings went to the Fliogan continent. The Doveos in Beryllion, the Adas in Macedon, and those damn ravens in Patram. Nagkaniya-kaniyang buhay na talaga ang bawat isa. The god-damned people with elemental powers stayed at Alemanya, they also had their tribes."

"Yeah, the Flamma tribe that involves people with fire abilities. The Aqua tribe that holds water magic, the Terra people that controls the land, and the Caelum tribe that plays with air."

"Oh, I've heard about this Terra Draco. Ang sabi daw ay diyan naninirahan iyong Dragon, the last existing human dragon in the land. At the Dragon castle! This is so freaking awesome, I would like to take that last dragon standing down one day."

"It'd be me who'll take that damn half human down." The red-head glanced at Celestial Beryl, mocking. "Damn pathetic humans." Ngumisi pa ito at animo'y humingi ng paumanhin ngunit halata mong nang-aasar. "Oops, sorry, not sorry."

"Tss, shut the fuck up and listen." Walang buhay na singit ng Archduke na ikinatahimik ng dalawang nobles na babaeng kanina pa nagkukwentuhan kahit na may guro.

Hindi tuloy ma-enjoy ni Celestial ang topic dahil kanina pa nagkukwentuhan ang mga babae at halata mong pinaparinggan siya. Celestial feels so out of place, nakaupo siya sa pinakahuling upuan malapit sa bintana sa pinakalikod. Mas minabuti niyang mag-isa doon, malayo sa mga nilalang na hindi siya nabibilang.

They don't really treat her as one of them. Siguro'y kailangan niya na talagang masanay, ilang taon pa at araw-araw niya itong mararanasan.

"Okay," Finally, their instructor spoke, mukhang gumana ang tipid na pagsalita ng Archduke, "so now we'll talk about the throne, the empire. Everyone knows that our leaders-and our future leader aims for the throne, right? Why?"

The red-head whose name is Cassandra Lezelley interrupted as like she always does, "For full control of the entire land."

"Exactly. That is why we still do not have an emperor. Because no one qualifies. So this generation is expected to go beyond their abilities to reach the requirement of the throne. It is final and irrevocable, the throne has standards and requirements. And one must qualify to get the throne." Their instructor keeps on throwing glances at her and the Archduke amongst the nobles, "Iyon ang hiwaga ng emperyo, iyon ang kakaibang hiwaga ng trono sa puso ng Beryllus, sa Kastilyo. Walang sinuman ang basta-bastang makakaupo, kinakailangan paghirapan bago iyon makamtan. Kinakailangan mapatunayang karapat-dapat bago iyon makuha."

"I've heard there was one who was about to qualify...?" Clifton Castillon asked.

"Oh, I've heard too. That king of Eufrata."

That king of Eufrata.

Parang tambol na pinukpok ang dibdib ni Celestial matapos marinig iyon. Bigla na lamang siyang nanginig, nakaramdam ng kakaibang excitement at takot sa parehong pagkakataon. Animo'y nabuhay ang kaniyang dugo. How great are the Royals of Eufrata that one could get excited over them?
