She rolled her eyes for the nth time in extreme annoyance. But of course, she doesn't want to be useless. She entered the palace too by walking slowly and concealing herself in the dark shaded parts of the large halls and hallways. The Palace is really big, isang bahagi palang ang pwesto niya sa likod ng Palasyo ngunit sobrang laki na nito. Nagmumukha siyang literal na langgam.
The Eufrata Palace is different compared to Vultruz Castle. The Palace is livelier. Makulay, kahit gabi ay buhay na buhay. Hindi gaanong tahimik ngunit mapayapa. She was carefully walking while memorizing every alley she could pass when she felt something that made her hairs stood up. No, it isn't something, it's someone.
"I can feel a dark presence." Said the voice.
Ganoon na lamang siya kabilis na nagtago sa madilim na bahagi ng hall. Palapit na palapit ang mga presensya, palakas ng palakas ang mga tinig at palala ng palala ang kabog ng kaniyang dibdib. Fuck, for the first time in forever of being Suprema she's now feeling nervous. Who wouldn't? This territory is dangerous for them, of course she would get nervous. This is fucking Eufrata after all.
The presences stopped just right a few meters in her line.
"Are you okay, Elysian?" Said a familiar voice. It's a man's voice, she heard him before, she just couldn't remember. And Elysian...? The Princess? Fuck, it's the Princess! Kung sinuswerte nga naman oh, makakasalubong niya pa ang Prinsesa.
Sumagot ang Prinsesa at luminga-linga, "Yes, I am... it's just that... I'm not feeling so well. May nararamdaman akong kakaiba, parang may nakapasok na kakaibang presensya sa palasyo..."
Ganoon na lamang tinamaan ng kakaibang kaba si Celestial. What the heck is this Princess? How could she--how did she-- oh my God, their peculiarity is on another level. It matches the ability of her Archduke.
"Ano?" Beamed the man who's with the Princess, "Lintek naman, kung kelan naman tayo paalis saka naman sila umatake."
So, they're planning to leave as of the moment? Shit, kung nakinig lang sana sa kaniya ang Archduke mas mapapadali ang misyon nila. Apurado kasi masyado ang lintek, hindi na nahintay ang pag-alis ng mga Maharlika.
Ilang sandali lang ay nadagdagan pa ang mga presensya. Literal na siyang nilamon ng kaba nang makita ang mga pamilyar na tindig. They changed a lot, they're bigger and taller, but their presences did not change at all. They're still them, the sovereigns she once met. Fuck, everything seems so big and she feels so small.
"We need to secure Eufrata first before we leave." Said an authoritative voice, it screams tremendous aura, that's clearly the Prince of Eufrata.
At hindi nga siya nagkamali nang sumagot ang isa pang lalaki, "Yes, Prince."
"Huwag na itong makarating sa karamihan, ayokong maalarma ang Kaharian. We're going to catch them ourselves." Dagdag pa ng Prinsipe saka lumingon sa pwesto ni Celestial, "After all, there were only two of them."
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! What? What the fudge? How did the Prince know? WHAT ARE THESE FREAKS? Bakit nakatingin sa pwesto niya ang Prinsipe? Sigurado siyang nagtatago siya ng maigi sa dilim, pero bakit--tangina, ano 'to? Ni minsan sa Abyss ay hindi pa ito nangyari sa kaniya. Kapag nagtatago siya sa dilim ay walang nakakapansin. Papaanong kaagad natukoy ng magkapatid na napasok sila? At papaanong nalaman ng Prinsipe kung saan siya nagtatago?
The Magnate-Caesars, yes, they are the Royals. They are indeed powerful, King Zavan almost mastered the sagacious sevenline. But never in her dreams she imagined them this powerful. Like, what the heck?
Sa mabilis na segundo ay umilaw ang mata ng Prinsesa, at mga sumunod pa nitong ginawa ay talagang nagpaalarma na sa kaniya; "One at the library, go." Saad nito at mabilis namang tumakbo ang Prinsipe patungo doon kasama ang isa pang lalaki.
Napalunok si Celestial, mabuti na lamang at sa library kung saan naroroon ang Archduke tumungo ang Prinsipe--wait what? Oh my fucking fudge, the Prince had ran to the Archduke! And oh ghad, what's taking Chalcedony so long? She's trembling in jittery, excitement, and panic, this night is going to be long.
Hindi pa lumalabas ang Archduke at patungo na doon ang Prinsipe kasama ang isang lalaki. This night will be big, massive and heavy. Eufrata and Abyss will declare another war again. Isn't it exciting? Yes, it is, for Celestial who's barely waiting for the Archduke and thinking of her next moves. She's barely hanging from her thread of control, she wants to attack now, but no, she needs heavier ambiance. After all, this night is going to be long.
The glowing eyes of the Princess finally darted at her place. Elysian's glare sent excitement down her spine. It was the same as hers whenever she uses her sensing ability, her extrasensory perception. Ganoon ang nangyayari sa mga mata niya habang nakakakita siya sa malayo, nakakaamoy at nakakaramdam ng malakas. At sigurado si Celestial na iyon ang ginagawa ng Prinsesa, nakikita siya nito.
At hindi nga siya nagkamali nang ngumisi ito at nagtama ang mga paningin nila, the Princess mouthed; "And the other one... is near us."
The man beside her immediately moved towards Celestial's direction, "All right," He said with oozing excitement in his voice, "Let's go."
Fuck, this is no joke. But as much as they're excited, she is as well. She's not Suprema for nothing, she was not trained for nothing, and she's not in Eufrata right now for nothing. The old Celestial would run away to escape, but she's not that Celestial anymore, she's Beryl, the supreme assassin of the Abyss; Suprema.
As if way of insulting the Princess, she activated her sense of sight as well. Her eyesight immediately made her on a roll as her area and diameter widened. She made sure to let her eyes glow to let them know of her exact location, to let the Princess know. She saw how the lips of the Princess curved into an annoyed smirk, and she smirk as well triumphantly.
The Princess stopped the guy who's approaching her. The man halted immediately and looked at the Princess with confusion in his eyes. But Elysian was serious, the Princess just stared at her and she did the same, Celestial returned the icy death stares of the Princess. It's as if they're the only persons in that area, as if the moment was only for them.
Eye to eye, glow to glow, ability to ability. They're even, but they're both sure there will be more than staring.
Now, the game is on.
