-Ry Dlar, The Second King

Chapter 22: The Old Alliance

Lermlock, Palace

Calton stared at the second king with a blank expression on his face. Ry calmly took a sip of his tea and made himself comfortable. They are currently inside one of the private rooms at the palace. The moment na nakita ni calton na bumalik na si ry sa kanyang katawan, he immediately requested for a private room for the two of them to talk.

He tried to ignored the voice at the back of his head telling him to at least checked song's condition first. He definitely made a huge mistake, as they are now here at the private room bumabalik ang kanyang kaisipan sa kalagayan ni song ngayon. Although he is extremely worried for her, he tried to hide it from the second king.

Calton's facial expression soften when he remembered something important.

"It's been what? 7 years since we last saw and talk to each other." He said with a sad smile. Ry observes him in silence before he opened his mouth to speak.

"You gotten soft, the fearless God of War is now not fearless as he seems." Ry voiced out his thoughts. Calton sighed at this. As usual, straight to the point talaga si ry, wala syang pakialam if the person he was talking to took his response as offensive or not.

"I do not, it's just---why are we talking about myself anyway?! You have a lot of explaining to do ry." Calton exclaimed as he slammed his hands at the table. Ry's tea fell off from the table, but before the cup can crushed to the ground, he swiftly caught it without any of the tea spilled on the floor. Ry made himself comfortable again as he took another sip.

Napahilamos na lang sa mukha si calton sa hari.

He took a deep breath to calm himself. Baka maibalik nya si ry sa sako ng wala sa oras. He should be immune for his straight and blunt answers, but sometimes it's almost unbearable to the point you just want to throw the second king out of this planet.

"First of, why are you out of your original body for almost two weeks? Mararamdaman mo naman if someone did something to your body. You should be able to detected that your body was out of the cell. Bakit hindi ka bumalik agad?" Calton asked the king. Ry took another sip of his tea while staring at the big window beside them.

"I was looking around the lermlock with my temporary body as usual, until I heard the rumored about you escaping your cell. I knew it was impossible for you to escape without a help from someone who has the ability to do dark magic to unsealed the seal, so I thought that maybe you escaped because someone helped you which turned out to be correct. I already calculated that you will going to get me next because my cell was the closest next to you, so I made a plan to test out the person who helped you escaped that day if she was really worth to be in my presence and guess how she proved me wrong with that determination of hers." Ry explained clearly without any stutter and hesitation.

"I was hoping it will take some time for the guards to noticed I was gone. Too much for staying out of the prince's radar." Calton said to himself habang hinihilot ang kanyang noo. Stress na stress na dahil kailangan nya bumalik sa shamina temple kasama si song para makuha ang kanyang spada pabalik.

"And is it really necessary to test her out? I mean---" Calton was cut off nang inalis ni ry ang kanyang paningin sa bintana at sumandal sakanyang upuan bago itinuro gamit ang basong hawak nya ang scroll na nasa right side pocket nya.
