Space Between Us

Chapter 23 (Problems)

"Byzantia told us that she's going to Aes Sidhe" sagot ni Eguzki. Binaba ng Emperor ang tablet na hawak nito ang tinitigan sina Eguzki.

"Who's order?"

"Prince Asher, your Highness" The Emperor sighed. They all live in the same place but his relationship with his brother changed.

"Tell Wintherus and Helios to go after them. And bring her back here, I need her to sign the contract first before the Elders convince her to call the marriage off" Klaus bowed in front of the Emperor before stepping out of his office.

Pagkaalis ni Klaus nagsalita naman si Tarchon "Your Highness if you don't mind, how can the Lady Xyrill call off the marriage?" The Emperor stood up on his chair while holding something in his hand.

"She can. After all she's still a Somniator, and the world would be in favour of her decisions" Suddenly the thing he is holding transformed into swiss knife. He played the knife in his hands.

"Speaking of Somniator. Everything what Prince Asher said in the ceremony is true. All of Lady Xyrill siblings are women and sadly to say they're already dead when we got to Earth" Singit ni Eguki sa usapan nila.

Lumapit ang Emperor sa harap ni Eguzki at Ofroi habang nilalaro parin sa kamay nito ang Swiss knife.

Kita mo ang pagkabahala ni Ofroi sa kanyang mukha habang tahimik lang na nakayuko si Eguzki.

Pero laking gulat ng tatlong Knights nang ibato ng Emperor ang kutsilyong hawak nito sa may bintana dahilan para mabasag ito.

"Now tell me, why there is a spy here in my Palace?" Lumapit ang tatlong Knight sa bintana at nakita nila sa kalayuan ang isang katawan na may nakatarak na kutsilyo sa noo nito.

This kind of skill from the Emperor is not new to the Knights. They always know that the Emperor has an excemptional skills and it also runs into their blood.

May pinindot si Tarchon sa armlet nito ang tsaka tumunog ang napakalakas na alarm sa buong Palace.

Agad rin tumalon pababa si Ofroi and Eguzki sa sirang bintana para puntahan ang katawan sa baba. Tinalon nila ito kahit nasa pang apat na palapag sila.

Nagr-ready pa lang na umalis sila Astrid ng marinig nila ang malakas na alarm sa Palace.

Iniwan nila ang sasakyan ang mabilis na tumakbo papunta sa Royals Domain kung saan nakatira ang mga kasama ng royal family.

"The Emperor is in his office with Tarchon" sigaw ni Leif habang nakatingin sa armlet nito. He saw where exactly the Emperor is and the location of other Knights who are also running towards to Royal Domain.

Nakasalubong nila Astrid sila Klaus, Zogofros at Vasco na nagmamadali rin tumatakbo papunta sa Royals Domain.

"Dad!" Rinig nilang sigaw ni Lady Cynthra habang tumatakbo papalapit sa kanila.

"Get inside!" Utos nito sa anak, good thing that there are other royal guards protecting her.

Pagkapasok ni Cynthra sa loob ng Royals Domain, napansin nila ang sirang bintana sa 4th floor nito kung saan ang office ng Emperor.
