Jack and the Prince of Heart (Complete)

Chapter 7-Sir Henry Lightwood

William

I didn't see it coming and Jacqueline holds her gun to my head like it's her nature.
"Where did you get those guns?" Umupo ako sa couch para hindi niya mahalata na kinabahan ako sa ginawa niya.
"Kiro brought some, the small ones are mine." She replied.

Tumabi si Jacqueline sa akin sa couch at tiningnan ang mga monitor sa harapan niya.
"How did he manage to sneak those monitors?" Tanong ko sa kanya. She shrugged and continue to watch. Kinuha niya ang isang keyboard and one monitor converted to a computer.

"Sino ang susunod sayo sa throne?" Tanong ni Jacqueline sa akin.
"Yung pinsan ko sa father side," I replied.

She typed a few keys at lumabas ang mukha ng dalawang pinsan ko. Si Lucas na panganay at si Theo ang bunso. Both on their twenties.

She converted one of the monitors again to a video call. Merong camera rin dito?

"Hi Ate... Hi William." Lumabas sa video ang mukha ng isang mukhang teenager na babae.
"Xykie?" Tanong ko.
"One and only... Nahanap ko na ang pinapahanap mo Ate Jack." She said.
"Idagdag mo si Lucas at Theo na pinsan ni William." Utos ni Jacqueline.
"Roger that. But first, may nakita akong kakaiba sa paningin ko." Sagot ni Xykie.
Nakikinig ako sa usapan nila ni Jacqueline.
"Yung Bishop George, madalas silang magkita ni Lady Charlotte these past few months." Sabi ni Xykie.
"Ano ang mali doon?" Tanong ko.
Tiningnan ako ni Jacqueline at Xykie na parang tinubuan ako ng sungay.
"They are not related, they are not friends either bago nawala ang crown. And the previous queen is not in Cordonia for the past year. Wala rin siyang communication inside the royal court, so malabo siya. Pero, I have a feeling that the Bishop is doing something." Xykie told Jacqueline.
"That is suspicious, I agree with you," Jacqueline replied to Xykie.
Are they for real?
"I will keep an eye on Bishop. And now, Sir Henry Lightwood..." Xykie continued.
The screen in front of us changed and information ni Henry ang pumalit.
"He is smoking hot," Xykie said. Jacqueline chuckled.
"He is a swordsman... and can beat you Ate Jack in archery." Pagpapatuloy ni Xykie.
"I beat Jacqueline, once." Pagmamalaki ko.
"Really? I can't beat her. Si Ate Khal manapa, natatalo siya." Sagot naman ni Xykie.

"Focus, Xyk," Jacqueline commented.
"Okay, right. So this hot guy is single and ready to mingle. No abnormal activities and I will keep an eye on him too."

"Why did you look into Henry's personal data?" Tanong ko kay Jacqueline.
"For personal use." Sagot niya. Xykie chuckled.
"Ate Jack, tingnan mo ito." Sabi ni Xykie. Nag-iba na naman ang nasa screen namin at lumitaw ang picture ni Henry na half-naked at may hawak na espada. I remember that we were practicing at that time. Sumipol si Jacqueline. Napatingin ako sa kanya. I can't believe this!

"Ang ganda ng espada nya." Sabi nito.
"Akala ko ang katawan. But seriously Ate Jack... Ang hot di ba?" Pangungulit ni Xykie.
"Yup. I will see him in person."
"Shit, inggit ako."
Parang walang kasamang ibang tao ang dalawa na ito kung mag-usap. Excuse me...nandito ako.
"Di ba, bata ka pa Xykie?!" Tanong ko sa kausap namin sa monitor.
Busy na naman si Jacqueline sa pagty-type.
"I am in my twenties. Hindi na ako bata." Sagot nito. "And I have eyes... I am capable to see who is hot."

"Xykie Jen, anong hot yang sinasabi mo?" We heard a male voice somewhere.
Jacqueline chuckled.
"Oh, gosh...nahuli ako ni daddy." Bulong ni Xykie before mawala ang mga pictures ni Henry sa monitor. Nakita ko si Mr. Kyle na nakatayo sa likod ni Xykie.
"Hello, Tito Kyle." Kumaway si Jacqueline sa monitor.
"How's the lead?" Tanong nito.
"I have few suspects in my hand. Xykie is monitoring them." She replied.
"We're good, dad," Xykie said to his father.

Pinamaypay ni Xykie ang papel nya sa harapan nang umalis ang daddy niya. Tumatawang umiiling si Jacqueline.

"Hindi ko maisahan si daddy." Sabi nito. Tumatawang bumalik si Jack sa kung ano man ang ginagawa niya sa computer.

Anak pala ni Mr. Kyle si Xykie... Napapailing na lang ako. Goodluck sa manliligaw sa batang ito.
