Every Prince Is A Demon

PRELUDE

~*~

"She went this way!"

"Follow the path of her bloodstains, men!"

"Ready your swords and capture the girl!!"

"Find her, go!"

Nanginginig kong tinakpan ang aking bibig habang ang paningin ko ay nakatuon sa isang malaking salamin.

Kitang-kita ko ang mga sugat na aking natamo mula sa isang malawak na silid kung saan ako tumakas dahil matapos kong hawakan ang 'ancient lamp of Hershire', bigla nalang na-activate ang security alarm ng buong palasyo. It caused me to gain these deep wounds.

What am I even doing?

After trusting that bastard, naipit ako sa ganitong sitwasyon.

"Am I going to die?"

I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists out of frustration. No, I am not letting this body die again. Not this time, and not on my watch.

Whatever happens, I need this body to live!

"There she is!!"

Nang natagpuan na ako ng mga palace guards, mabilis kong kinuha ang isang mahabang espada na nakakalat lamang sa gilid ng isang kama, at itinutok sa kanila.

"D-Don't come any closer!"

Walang nagtangka na lapitan ako, pero sa kanilang mga reaksyon, mukhang nag-aantay lamang sila ng tamang pagkakataon na dakpin ako sa oras na mawalan ako lakas.

I can't let my guard down.

Nagulat ang lahat nang biglang sumigaw ang isang kararating lamang na kawal.

"His Royal Highness is here!!"

What?

Agad yumuko ang lahat nang dumating ang isang binata.

"Now, enough with this ruckus, shall we?"

He's wearing a silver armor showing the royal family's crest in its upper right corner, and a royal mantle which clearly shows that he has a great authority in the palace.

I can't completely see his face because of the darkness but there's no doubt, he is definitely a prince.

Naglakad siya sa gitna ng daanang ginawa ng mga royal guards na ngayon ay nakahilera at halos hindi makatingin sa kaniya dahil sa matinding takot.

"Be informed that I will not take part in such leniency this time, especially with someone who committed a clearly horrendous crime against the people of Zelvar Empire," Nilingon niya ang isang lalaki na tumayo upang magbigay sa kaniya ng silver sword.

My whole body was starting to feel numb pero pinilit ko pa rin ang aking sarili na titigan siya sa mata.

I don't know why but those cold crimson eyes felt familiar.

"Therefore, I shall personally conduct immediate execution..."

When that prince stood in front of me-pointing his deadly sword, chills run through my spine as the moonlight suddenly showed his entire face, emphasizing how ruthless his glare was, "...and behead her myself."

I am Reina vel Alina Montrigal, and this is how I learned...

...that every prince is a demon.
