Chess Pieces #5: Loki Von Amstel

Chapter 69

I was quietly glancing at King Lancer while we're on our way to wherever the hideout is here in England. I don't really care though 'cause I know that we will go back to the Philippines as soon as possible.

We're the only ones that's inside the car, driving by their hired goon, as Yucca and Enkidu was in the car that's following behind us. 

King Lancer is ready to play the game now. I'm sure that he already made a plan on how to defeat the EL Ordre. Judging by how he moved back at the second Von Amstel manor, I know that he has an idea on how to wrapped them in between his fingers.

He knows that they couldn't really hurt him.

I could see the smirk on King Lancer's lips while he was looking outside the window. His elbow were leaning on the window frame while his fingers were playing with his lips. I quickly looked away 'cause I remember someone who always does that gesture.

Fuck it...

The car stopped in front of the mansion that was in a secluded area. I didn't really care much about and followed King Lancer inside as he went in.

Pabagsak syang umupo sa mahabang sofa while I sat at the one seater sofa across him. He was leaning his back at the backrest as he looked at me with amusement in his eyes. And when I finally settle down on my seat, his smirked widened before he laughed out loud.

I crossed my arms over my chest and leaned my back on the sofa as I watched King Lancer laughing his ass out. His laughter was in between of evilness and happiness at the same time. He's happy about what he did earlier at the manor.

"Have you seen their faces?" he said in between his laughter. Hinampas nya pa ang isang tuhod nya na parang tuwang-tuwa talaga sa mga nangyari kanina.

Then he cleared his throat and tried to sit straight. He made his expression looked angry that was mixed in pain. And I understand quickly what he's trying to do. He's copying the expressions of the EL Ordre's faces earlier.

Especially Aius expression when he told him about his second Queen who died by the hands of our dead Knight.

"They all looked stupid!" sabi ni King Lancer at tumawa na naman. "Galit na galit sila pero hindi naman nila ako magawang saktan!"

He laughed again and I even saw tears forming in the corner of his eyes dahil sa matagal na pagtawa. He chuckled as he wiped those tears away.

"And my brother?" he chuckled again. "Hindi nya alam ang gagawin nya! Mukhang tanga talaga!"

I heaved a deep sigh. He really enjoyed what happened earlier. So opposite of me.

He stopped laughing and stared at me. I stared back at him without any emotions on my face as I know that he's reading my expressions right now. I am a master in this field. Hiding my real emotions and pretending that I'm unaffected with everything.

Slowly, the corner of his lips rose for a smirk.

"But the best part was when the King's Bishop knelt down for you." he chuckled. "A fucking royalty! A Prince begging on his knees! That was epic!"

Tumawa ulit sya habang ako ay kumuha nang malalim na paghinga. It was a bad idea as pain shot in my chest remembering what happened earlier.

Remembering the face of the King's Bishop as he beg for me not to leave him.

"You shot their Knight." my attempt to change our topic.

I succeeded 'cause he stopped laughing. The playfulness is now gone in his eyes. Sumandal ulit sya sa sofa and crossed his legs in a number four shape as he tapped his knees with his fingers.
