Gaya nga ng sinabi ni Shemis. I saw her waiting at the side of the lake. She was looking at the waters with her arms crossed.

"What do you want to ask" bahagya pa siyang napatalon dahil sa gulat ng magsalita ako. She's a Princess, malakas dapat ang pakiramdam niya.

"Sino sa kanila ang kalaban mo, Queen Thylane?" Mariin ang pagbigkas niya ng dati kong titulo. I shook my head while smiling.

"That's your question?" I asked back. "Just answer it" napataas ako ng kilay at bumuntong hininga. I don't know why the hell she's asking this but I'll answer it.

"Well. All of them" I answered. Kumunot ang noo niya.

"Then who did you call earlier?" Napataas ako ng kilay. She's bothered by that?

"My trusted fellow in the North. If you're that eager to know, investigate" I said while shaking my head.

Natahimik siya at napatingin sa malayo.

"That's it? That's your question?" I scoffed. She cleared her throat. "Nevermind. But I'm telling you, I don't care if you're Queen Thylane. You're a commoner right now" napangisi na lang ako.

"Well. You should also know. I don't care if you're a Princess here in De la Fontaine" I answered back.

"Bitch"

"Thanks"

I went back to my tent and Rose Brent was lying like a mess. There are empty cans of beers, about five I think? I sat on my bed. She's celebrating huh?

"You purposely lost"

Natigilan ako ng makita si Zyscher na pumaosk sa tent. My brow automatically raised. "What the hell are you doing here?" I crossed my arms.

"Up for a chat?" I chuckled. "You? Asking for a chat?" He nodded.

"Drexel Beau Selfoxin cheated on you with Jersaile Claint?" I rolled my eyes. "Hindi pa ba obvious?"

Nakasandal lang siya duon habang nakatingin sa akin. "Then how did you get in the rank. Became the Queen. Hindi ka naman parte ng Alpha Omega" I laughed softly.

"I'm not. But being a Queen requires skill and strength. I have it. Just like what's happening right now, I participated in the tournament in Forestierre. I won against Jersaile. The Claint's won't allow me, a commoner to be the Queen but Drexel Beau  Selfoxin has the full authority" napangisi siya.

"Yeah? He's your ex-boyfriend" naiinis ko siyang tiningnan. "We're over. Why are you  even asking this?"

"Curiosity" he simply answered. I licked my lower lip and sighed. He took a step towards me and showed me his palm with a sim card. I smiled and shook my head. I took it. "Thanks"

"Are you gonna call your ex?" I rolled my eyes.

"Leave, King"

"The Competition will go on tomorrow. Goodluck" he said before walking away. Napaawang lang ang baba ko ng hindi makapaniwala. Is he sick? Why is he acting that way?

The next morning, I woke up early and went inside the Cafeteria in the Camp to grab sandwich and morninh coffee. No one was there but the foods are already displayed so I took what I wanted to get.
