"Do love exist in loneliness? Does it swim in the ocean of vagueness? Can it fly in the sky of shallowness? Or run in a road of sadness? Because I need it to pull me out of this void so endless."

- DistantEden by S. Harper

"The emperor found another woman." Bulong ni Sean sa sarili habang naglalakad palabas ng paaralan

Hindi nya matukoy kung maganda ba o masama na nakuha ni Alanis ang atensyon ng emperor ng paaralan.

Napabuntong hininga na lamang sya. He's just a normal member of Imperia, he wont be able to do anything but sigh helplessly.

Samantala, sa isang pribadong silid makikita si Damon na nakaupo sa isang upuan na tila pagmamay-ari nya ang paaralan.

"Alanis, huh?" Damon smirked

"Any problem?" Leona answered, sitting across him like she owns the world

"Using your second name as your name, changing your hair color, do you take me for a fool, Leona?" Damon

"........." Leona

"Mind explaining yourself?" Damon

Leona crossed her arms, "Was I too obvious?"

"Aha." Damon

Leona shrugged

"Why are you on disguise? I heard you enrolled as an Emitter major.."

"Im taking two majors at once.." She answered as if it's nothing.. "Since you already know that I'am here, why didn't you even put an effort to meet?" she asked annoyed

Damon shrugged, "Im busy."

"Flirting with women?" Leona

"It's called making connections." Damon shrugged

"Unbelievable." Leona said while shaking her head

As Leona can see, this is Damon's method of socialisation. Not wishing to be acquainted with numerous people under the heavens, merely wishing to have loving ties across the land. When he met with a difficult problem in the future, where others would look for their bros, he would be able to summon hundreds of ex-girlfriends with but a wave of a hand. Actually, that line up would be rather intimidating.

"Where's Asher?" she asked to change the topic

"Engrossed in his own world somewhere." Damon shrugged

"I bet he's more powerful than you now." Leona

"Stop rubbing salt to my already wounded heart, last time the two of us spar, I lost to him." Damon

Leona laughed, "Be careful, one of us might kick you out of your position as Emperor."

"Huh, Im not stupid, you're probably on a completely different realm from me now, if you wanna be Emperor, you can have it." Damon smirked

"Still as sly as ever, huh." Leona

Damon simply smirked.

The two chatted for a while before Leona bid him farewell and go home.

"I wonder what's up with Leona lately..?" Luciano

"Aren't we here to find out?" tugon ni Lorenzo

Naghihintay ang dalawa sa gate ng paaralan para kay Leona.

"Your Highness, Prince Luciano!"

A beautiful voice of a woman shake the surrounding, Luciano thought it was only his imagination.
