With a deep throaty voice that sent chills to any person listening, the creature spoke. "Alas, the False Sun Prince has returned, to claim a throne that he'll never be able to inherit."

What? Did that creature just call my brother a fake Sun Prince? I stared at the Guild Master even though his back was facing us and whispered. "Kuya? False Sun Prince?"

"Wait for him to finish talking." agad na bulong ni Kuya pabalik.

The creature that spoke walked down the last of the steps from the throne. As soon as he reached the bottom of the stairs, we heard a loud creak followed by a banging sound. We looked behind us and the doors had shut themselves.

Humarap muli ako nang marinig ang mahihina pero mabibigat na yabag ng reptilian humanoid. It started pacing slowly back and forth in front of the throne, as though it was thinking deeply. Nakakapagtaka din na hanggang ngayon, hindi pa rin nagpapakita ang status bars niya. Kaya hindi namin malaman kung enemy NPC siya o neutral lang.

"After all your father has done for you, it didn't withhold you from murdering him." the reptilian humanoid creature scoffed with its hands behind while slowly walking. "Even the gods of this land are filled with greed and turn to each other to satiate their thirst for power. A pity, indeed. But I must say, I should thank you for slaughtering your own father. Thanks to you, my brethren and I were able to take hold of this whole region without any obstacles in our path."

I see. The reptilian humanoid was speaking based on the altered lore or in-game story, related to my brother's position in Leimhyark. Naalala ko nga na sa tuwing pinapakilala ni Kuya ang sarili niya bilang ang Sun Prince, isa sa mga detalyeng sinasabi niya ay ang pagpaslang niya sa Sun god na si Ralus. This NPC, as expected, was aware of the changes that have been made in the game's lore after my brother defeated the Sun god.

"Look, I did not come here for any trivial matters or to listen to the dry sense of humor from some sort of lowly creature. I am here to claim that which has been ought to be mine; my thro—"

Naputol ang pagsasalita ni Kuya nang tumawa ng ubod ng lakas ang nilalang at nagsalita muli. "You dare call me a lowly creature. And what was that again? Your throne?"

The lizard-looking creature laughed heartily again after emphasizing the words 'your throne', mocking my brother. Habang tumatawa ay dahan-dahan itong umakyat sa hagdanan at umupo sa trono na nagyeyelo. 

"You're making me laugh. There is no throne to be claimed. Know your place, false prince. Isn't it obvious? I am seated here. I can tell that your eyes can see clearly."

So this Lizard is claiming that he is now the Emperor of this land. Interesting.

"I am no fake. I am Radonius Ferrol, Crowned Prince of the Axisian-Soruzian Empire, Heir to the throne, and Highest Spark Envoy." pagpapakilala ni Kuya sa sarili niya.

"Spare me the pleasantries! Do you take me for a fool? In my eyes, you're still a false prince. But false or not, no son in their right mind should have their father's blood in their own hands. Though my brethren and I have intended to rule this empire, we detest betrayal. The true prince would never betray his father!"

My brother was only staring blankly on the Ashen Scroll while the humanoid lizard shouted from the throne he was sitting on. 'Yong itsura pa nga ni Kuya, parang walang ka-interes interes sa pinagsasasabi ng nakaupo sa nagyeyelong trono.
