"X-Xavier..." I called him. He gazed at me with full of confusion in his eyes.

"Wife. What's happening here...?" He asked but, I can't utter a word to him. Patuloy lang ang pagtulo ng aking mga luha.

When he knew that I can't answer him, he continued moving forward.

"Grandpa!" tawag ni Xanthal na ngayo'y nakakagalaw na. She run towards her unconscious grandfather, tears continuously flowing her cheeks.

I gazed at Mom and Kiefer. They were looking at me too. Kiefer walked towards and hugged me tightly. Umiyak ako nang umiyak sa kan'ya. Everything was too much for today.

Bakit umabot sa ganito? Bakit naging ganito ka-komplikado ang lahat?

"Lorius!! Damn you! I will kill you!" Nang bumitaw ako kay Kiefer ay nakita ko si Xanthal na may apoy sa kan'yang mga kamay at handang ipatama ito kay Lt. Lorius na ngingiti-ngiti pa.

He just dodged it.

"Don't move." Mom used her ability to command him but it was already too late because Lt. Lorius already disappeared.

"Grandfather...?"

Napalingon ako kay Xavier. Nasa harap na siya ng duguang katawan ng kamahalan. Mas nasaktan ako ng makitang unti-unti nang pumapatak ang mga luha sa kan'yang mga mata. He knelt down to his grandfather and embraced his body.

"G-Grandfather!" he continued crying as he was simultaneously calling his name. "Bring him to the hospital! Now!"

Mr. Mendinzino rushed and used his phone to call for medical assistants right away.

Gustuhin ko mang lumapit kay Xavier at damayan siya sa kan'yang nararamdaman... pero 'di ko kaya.

Cause I feel guilty.

I looked at Dad and he was staring at me too.

"Tito..."

I called Tito Cranstan as he was outside your majesty's room. He turned his gaze at me.

"Clardia... Why? What's the matter, hmm?" He asked. His eyes looks so tired and sleepless.

"Can I see your majesty...?" I asked. Its been three days since he was stabbed and according to what I've heard, his condition isn't getting any better.

"Sure, Clardia. Xavier is inside too, but I think he already dozed off. He's not resting for days,"

I looked down. "I'm really sorry, Tito..."

A small smile showed on his face. "How many times do I have to tell you that you don't have to say that, Clardia? It's not your fault. You did nothing wrong. Stop blaming yourself... and even your family."

Napakabait talaga ni Tito. Pero hindi ko mapigilang 'di sisihin ang aking sarili sa nangyari. My family rules the UrsaMinor and Dad... he killed Xavier's Grandmother and now... it's your majesty. Though, I know that he also have a purpose for this. He just done that to avenge Cristina, my grandmother.

To correct everything, your majesty must be saved first.

"Tito... how is he doing? Has Celeste offered a blood to help him recover?" I asked.

"Yes, Celeste did but..." Tito lowered his gaze. "It wasn't really a great help. The doctor said that he lost a lot of blood and an organ was severely affected. He... is in a critical condition right now. Basically, a life and death situation."

Saglit na nagkaroon ng katahimikan sa pagitan namin ni Tito bago siya muling nag-angat ng tingin sa'kin. He  his back on the wall and beamed.

"Take a rest, Tito. You're not getting handsome anymore." I said.
