The Royal Knights (Completed)

Chapter 39

Taiansen Mennan

“Ah, looking for Rinslet?” napatahimik ako. His presence and voice's so different. That I almost mistook him with someone else. He's releasing this terrifying aura. Kung hindi talaga dahil sa mukha niya ay hindi talaga siya makikilala. “But you'll never get her unless you defeat me.” tinutok niya ang palad niya sa'kin.

Things happened so fast. Bitbit na ako ni Captain at sumabog na ang pwesto namin kanina. Binaba niya 'ko pero hindi pa rin ako binibitawan.

“Careful. He's not the old Asta now. We've no choice but to fight her, 'kay? Dahil hindi siya magdadalawang isip na bawian tayo ng buhay ngayon mismo.” matagal bago ako tumango sa kaniya. Alam kong ayaw niya rin pero wala naman kaming magagawa. Asta, is this really exactly what you want? Do you like taking revenge? Do I mean nothing to you?

I looked above. Lots of crows are now flying around them. Until we can't see them and when the crows disappeared, Rinslet as well. Where the fuck is Rinslet?

“She's with Lucis.” wala na akong mabasang emosyon sa mukha niya. Wala ba siyang pakialam kay Rinslet? Paano kung sabihin kong may anak sila? Damn.

The other teamed up with us. The Espada are standing below Asta. Smirking at us as if we will perish today. Handang handa sila dito ah? Ano bang puno't dulo nito?

“But if you'll only give us that girl, Dianus Irisviel Montmorency, I'll spare your lives.” nanlamig ako nang marinig ang napakalalim na boses ni Lucis. Parang bumagal ang oras. Kusa akong napalingon kay Captain bago tumingin sa taas.

A hundreds of servants of Lucis are now falling. And he's choking the King. They're both weak as of now but Lucis got the upperhand. The King really saved us. Patay na ang lahat maliban sa Espada, Asta at Lucis. Pero kapalit naman ay ang kaligtasan niya. He used too much of his power and I bet, he can't move now. It's not like I don't trust him but all of us has its limit.

“Dad..” hinigpitan ko ang kapit sa kamay ni Captain.

“We'll save him.” ako na rin mismo ang bumitaw sa kaniya. Bumwelo ako. We don't have time to watch them. Lucis has no heart. Baka nga hindi pa umaabot ang isang oras ay bumagsak na ang walang buhay na katawan ng hari.

Captain was always there to save. And my life is what Lucis wanted.

I appeared in front of Lucis and hold his arm. Without a warning or so whatever, I casted a beam of light that made his arm cut. Mabilis kong sinalo ang hari at mabilis rin akong nakalapag sa baba.

“Thank you..” nahihirapan niyang sambit. He's barely conscious na para bang kanina pang pinipigilan ang tuluyang pagpikit ng kaniyang mga mata.

“Please.. please, Dad.”

“Find a healer.” nag-angat siya ng tingin sa'kin. Nginitian ko na lang siya para sabihing ayos lang ang lahat. His father, the King, comes first.

“I'll be back. Be safe.” lumingon siya sa iba pa. My brothers nodded and top his shoulders.

“Kaming bahala sa kaniya.” mabilis na siyang nawala kaya naman muli kaming tumingin sa taas. Lucis' hand is regenerating. Looking at me calmly but deadly.

“How dare do that, Irisviel?” hindi ako nagpatinag sa boses niya. Fear is the least thing I wanted to feel. I'll face Lucis as if I'm facing my death, is it?

“Hearing my name from you is giving me goosebumps. Would you mind?” I tried not to look nervous when he gave me his gruesome smile.

“Ah, acting brave are we?” he moved his newly generated arm while looking at me. “But that won't help. You see..” nagulat ako nang hawak na niya ang leeg ko. Hindi naman mahigpit pero nakakaramdam na ako ng panganib sa ganon pa lang. Narito na agad siya sa pwesto namin. Nakikita ko mula sa gilid ng paningin ko ang mga kasama kong agad na naalarma. “..I can reach you this easy. I can kill you whenever I want.” at biglan nanaman siyang nawala.
