Chapter 35: Revelations

KINABUKASAN ay dumating na nga si Cadmus sa duchy sa oras na napagkasunduan nila ng Duke. Agad naman itong sinalubong nina Apollo at Selene sa entry hall.

“Greetings, Your Highness. Welcome to the Heinrich Duchy,” Selene formally greeted him.

“Thank you so much for accepting our invitation, Your Highness.” Apollo smiled.

“Thank you, Your Grace and Lady. It’s been a while since I last visited the duchy. Particularly this place.” Cadmus looked around the mansion. “I see that a lot of changes have happened here already. Since when did you become fond of flowers, Your Grace?” He asked the moment he noticed the flowers in a vase in all corners of the mansion.

Apollo chuckled. “Ever since my soon-to-be wife started to make them. I just can’t help but feel proud and have it displayed all over the mansion. Aren’t the arrangements and choice of flower sets beautiful?” He draped his arm on Selene’s shoulder.

Cadmus eyes sparkled in astonishment as it looked at her.

“Is that so? I didn’t know that you loved flower arrangements.”

Selene shrugged. “It’s a hobby that I just recently liked.”

Inilahad naman ni Apollo ang kaniyang palad. “Well then. Shall we?”

Napatango naman si Cadmus. Ngunit natigilan siya nang mapansin ang isa pang pamilyar na mukha.

“Butler Emil. How have you been?”

The butler bowed his head. “Greetings to Your Highness, the crown prince.” He then stood straight. “I have been well. Thank you for asking. We hope you have a good time staying here.”

Malawak namang napangiti si Cadmus sa matanda. Truth be told, he’s like a second father to him.

“That’s for sure.” Mahina niya itong tinapik sa balikat.

Dumiretso na sila sa greenhouse. Dito kasi napagpasyahan ni Selene na ganapin ang magiging pag-uusap nila. Doon ay naabutan na nilang naghihintay si Senia habang umiinom ng tsaa. Nagsalubong naman ang kilay ni Cadmus pagkakita rito.

“Who is she?”

“She is someone who would have a big participation for today’s meeting,” Selene explained.

“Oh. Alright.”

Nilingon naman ni Cadmus ang dalawa sa mga knights na kasama nito upang bilinan sila na maghintay na lamang sa labas ng greenhouse.

Ngunit bago pa man tuluyang pumasok sa loob si Selene ay binalingan din niya sina Levi, Finn at Amara na kasunod naman niya upang anyayahan ang mga ito na pumasok.

Nagkatinginan naman ang tatlo. “Can we really go inside, My Lady?”

“Yes. I have some important things to tell Your Highness, and I would like the three of you to know about it as well.”

Kahit bakas ang pag-aalinlangan sa kanilang mga mukha ay napatango na lang ang mga ito.

“If that’s our Lady’s wish,” they said in unison.

Selene decided to tell Cadmus everything about her real identity so they could already make a plan against the Empress and her allies. Ngunit dahil kakailanganin din niya ang tulong ng tatlo at gusto rin niyang malaman ng mga ito kung sino ba talaga siya ay napagdesisyunan din niyang sabihin din sa mga ito ang totoo. After all, they’re her trusted people. Nang banggitin niya ang tungkol doon kay Apollo ay walang pag-aalinlangan naman nitong sinuportahan ang kaniyang desisyon.
