The Blood Empress

Bloody 3: Enter the Palace

Bloody 3: Enter the Palace

Roen Astrid.

I entered inside my chamber and saw my team gathered. They stood with their backs straight and hands at their sides. They bowed at me, showing respect.

"Is everyone here?" I asked as I walked towards the long table. I sat on my chair and signalled them to follow me.

"Yes, Lady Roen!" They answered as they sat at their respective seats. Nakaupo ako sa kabisera ng lamesa. Obviously, we're holding a meeting. Sa right side ko nakaupo ang mga guards na pinangungunahan ni West Harris. Sa left side ko naman nakaupo ang mga helpers which is led by Claire Hux.

"Lady Roen, I have a report regarding the academy you enrolled to." Sambit ni West na nasa unang upuan sa kanang gilid ko. He specializes in several martial arts and combat techniques. He's the one who helped me train and taught me different styles in fighting without using weapons.

I assigned the guards to connect me regarding the recent news, events, crimes, activities and people outside the palace. Sila ang nagrereport sa akin kung ano ang nangyayari sa empire.

"Good. What about the palace, Claire?" I turned to look at my left side kung saan siya nakaupo. I assigned the five of my helpers to watch every move and schemes of the royal family. Claire is the best when it comes to disguising. Well, her ability is called camouflage. She can easily blend with the surroundings.

"Nothing much, Lady Roen. Princess Lily will be one of the bosses for the upcoming entrance exam in the academy and General Elliot will be visiting the palace this Saturday. As for the empress, she spends a lot of money as usual." General Elliot? The invincible general? So he's coming back after his mission huh? He must be together with his son.

And my dear sister is going to be one of the bosses? Very well. I badly wanted to crush her. This is getting more and more exciting.

"There's really nothing much huh? Good job, Claire. Report to me where the empress spends her money. I'm sure she's up to something. Be extremely careful, got it?" She bowed at me slightly.

I held my chin and grinned devilishly.

"Today is a special day, team. It's time to execute the mission that we've been planning."

"Code Red." They understood what I said as they nodded.

Their eyes gleamed from excitement. Matagal na nilang inintay ang oras na ito. The guards immediately stood up and bowed at me.

"We're going." Velius spoke, he's one of the guards.

"Velius." I called him. Nakahawak na siya sa doorknob at napahinto siya upang lingunin ako. Pumangalumbaba ako sa mesa at ngumiti sa kanya.

"You know what you're doing right?" I looked at him, smirking. Napakurap siya at tumango.

"Of course, Lady Roen." He bowed at me again.

"Alright then. Be careful everyone." Tinignan ko silang lahat at tumango  kaya umalis na sila. I turned to look at the helpers. Tumayo na rin sila at lumabas, leaving me with West and Claire.

Agad akong naghanda at nagbihis. Inabutan ako ni Claire ng uniform na pang helper. Tinalian rin niya ang mahaba kong buhok at ginawang bun. I wore my specialized contact lenses to conceal my deep red eyes.

This is exciting.

"What about your mom, Roen? You said it's not yet time to show up in the palace right? You sneaky witch." Pag irap sa akin ni Claire.

"Oonga dude. Magaalala yun." Pagsingit pa ni West.

They act like this kapag kaming tatlo lang ang magkakasama. I don't care though.
