"She's really a witch!"
This words of Grethel kept on echoing from Kuromaro's head.
"She's deceiving the King!"
These thoughts made him realize how useless he is for the King he serves. He even thought of the vampires he killed as weakling when he, himself is just the same.
"I must protect the King at all cost," he said to himself as he finally reached the King's quarter.
He looked around and realized that there are no guards around. Did the King ordered this? He asked in his mind, but it does not look like it. That made him doubt the girl the King brought with Him.
He draw his sword and was about to rush inside the King's room when he heard someone talking.
"ILion. Pwede bang makinig ka naman sa akin ngayon? Kapag nagmatigas ka baka--ah!" Dinig niya mula sa loob ng silid ng hari.
Napaatras si Kuromaro. Hindi niya maintindihan, pero bigla siyang nagdalawang-isip na pumasok.
"Stop."
"Bakit? Gusto ko lang na ibalik ang lahat ng nagawa mo para sa akin."
Kuromaro realized that the King and the human woman are arguing by the tone of their voices. However, there is a part of him that wants to interupt them just to make sure that the woman is not a witch.
"You don't have to," Kuromaro heard his King's reply.
"Bakit? Wala ba akong karapatang tulungan ka? ILion," dinig naman niyang sigaw ng babae na mas paatras sa kanya.
It is like the human woman uses some kind of magic to make him uncomfortable by just hearing her exclaims. Also, she's addressing the King with his name. And she sounds very angry.
"If I really do what you want, then it only means that what they said is true," the King said that made Kuromaro realized that the two were talking about what happened at the throne.
"You're my precious princess. I do not want anybody to look down on you. You're not even my food."
"Wha?"
What His Highness said made Kuromaro know a different side of the King. It even made him blush due to embarassment. The fact that his invicible King is telling these to a woman. A human woman!
"ILion. I'm sorry!" He heard the human woman cried followed by a long silence.
Hindi malaman ni Kuromaro ang gagawin kung aalis na ba siya o maghihintay na matapos ang pag-uusap ng dalawa. Huminga siya ng malalim tsaka lumakad palapit sa pinto.
He is just to knock when he heard a moan. Para siyang nabalutan ng bato sa narinig. He almost interupt them when they're having their moment!
"What the fck are you doing Kuromaro? Do you want to die?"
He imagined that his King will really kill him if he just bust in. He gulped hard as he tries to step back quietly.
"Kuromaro-sama!" Hanzel shouted that made Kuromaro draw his sword again by reflex.
"Sht!" He cus8ed.
"Kuromaro-sama! Stop! Don't disturb them!" Hanzel shouted.
Hinihingal na nakarating sina Hanzel at Grethel sa tapat ng silid ng hari kung saan nakatayo si Kuromaro. Inakala nila na handa na nitong wasakin ang pinto ng hari nang bigla namang itutok ni Kuromaro ang espada nito sa kanila.
"Stay back," wika nito na may pagbabanta.
Natakot ang magkapatid at napaatras. "But Kuromaro-sama, what my sister told you was a big lie! The girl is not a witch! The King is carrying her with care and it does not look like she's forcing the King to do it," mahabang paliwanag ni Hanzel na nagpaalala sa kanya ng mga narinig kanina.
"Hey, what's happening here?" Said Kurasuma who just arrived. "Why are you pointing your sword to them?" he asked.
When Kuromaro is about to answer, they heard a loud moan from the room.
"Hnnm!"
Halos kumawala ang mga kaluluwa ng apat sa biglang narinig. Gayun pa man, matagal nang alam ni Kurasuma ang relasyon ng dalawa kaya agad siyang nakabawi. Lumakad siya palapit sa pinto na ikinataranta ng tatlo.
"W-What was that sound just now?" Grethel asked blushing.
"D-Don't ask me. I have no idea," said Hanzel who's also blushing.
Dirty thoughts played inside their mind that made Kuromaro angry.
"Don't think about it anymore. It is also my duty to keep my King's privacy, so leave!" Kuromaro exclaimed with a blushing face.
"Shut up Kuro. I can't hear them," said Kurasuma who is leaning against the door that made Kuromaro shift his sword on his direction.
Kurasuma did not pay any attention at all though. They ended up listening to the two. However, there's no sounds to hear. Its absolutely quiet.
"Wait. I can smell blood," said Hanzel.
"Blood?" Asked Grethel.
Kurasuma and Kuromaro looked at each other then to the door. They are about to kick the door when they heard Sophia scream.
"Kuro!"
"I know!"
They tried to break the door when Grethel stopped them.
"Wait! His Highness!" She said while pointing outside the palace.
"What?!" Asked Kurasuma.
"Let's follow the King! I can sense that he's aggitative!" Said Grethel then run towards the King's direction.
"Kuro, follow her. Hanzel, let's scan the area," said Kurasuma then they go separate ways.
They do not know what happened inside, but what's clear is the King is not in a good condition. When they returned to the King's room, Sophia is not there anymore and the guards were back at their posts.
"We have to find her," said Kurasuma while gripping his fists. "Before the King founds out."
