Zytos POV:

"Do you know who did this?" I snapped towards Xerxes when I heard his voice.

I clenched my jaw and turn my gazes towards my sister's dead body. Private policemen and some of my men flaunter around the crime scene. Muling natulala sa katawan ng aking kapatid na inasikaso ng aking mga tauhan.

I clearly saw her face. I am sure she did this! Alam kong sa umpisa pa lamang noong makita ko siya ay hindi ko na siya nagustuhan.

I'll make sure that the girl will pay for all of this. I hate her! I loathe her so much and I wanted her to suffer.

Si Elle na lamang ang natirang pamilya ko sa mundong ito. She's the only one who I can fully trust in this world. In this dirty politics, I have been ever since I was born.

My existence here is to continue ruling this country full of bastards. Ni hindi ko ito ginusto noon pa man ngunit wala pa ako'y may tungkulin nang naghihintay sa akin. I hate this world! I hate my father for bringing this to me.

"If I do that, will you take this responsibility, then?" Tinungga ko ang laman ng basong hawak habang nakatingin sa aking tiyuhin.

He blows smoke on the air as he smirks towards me. Umigting ang aking panga sa mapanuya niyang ngiti.

"I want to be free from anything, you know that, Zytos. I am only here to guide you since your father made you a monster more than him. "

Muli kong binalingan si Xerxes at tuluyang inubos ang laman ng aking basong hawak. Ninamnam ang pait at init na dulot ng alak patungo sa aking lalamunan.

Remembering all the things my father did to me when I was young.

Pinahid ang dugong umaagos mula sa noong nahiwa. I tried stopping it when it was richly flowing and blocking my eyes.

"Is that what you have, lad? Your enemy won't show you mercy! Remember, I am doing all of this since our world always together with trickery and violence. Some of these days, you will thank me for this! Aside from the throne and riches, this is the only thing I can give to you."

Hindi ako makapaniwala sa nangyari. I can't accept the fact that my sister is gone... dead! Marami akong iniwas at itinanggi sa kasong iyon. I did not let the media involved from it. May isang pinahintulutan lamang at sinunod ang kung anong gusto kong ipahayag niya sa publiko.

"How are you so sure that this girl is the one who did this to Elle?"

Mariin kong tiningnan si Xerxes habang sinisindihan ang kaniyang sigarilyong hawak.

I clenched my jaw as I recalled her face. How could Elle let that girl manipulate her, her made-up innocence?

"I saw it with my own, Xerxes. She's the girl I am talking to you about, the girl who's been around with her."

I'll make sure she will pay for it. Each day, thinking that my sister is gone was more than torture I ever had in the hands of my father. Hindi ko matanggap na pati siya'y nawala.

"How was it? Did you find her?"

Isang araw matapos kong hanapin ang babaeng iyon. Damn it! How the hell I couldn't find her quickly? Damn that woman.

Inis akong nagsalin ng alak sa baso at inisang tungga iyon. I throw my tunic on the floor as I pour another set of drinks on my glass.

"They left! I let my men find traces where they go."
