Third Person's POV:
Halos hindi makagalaw ang tao sa loob ng kwarto, his presence demands attention, his presence is enough to kill someone. As he stood there firmly everyone stood on their seats "Welcome back Master!" and they bow down.
Hindi pinansin ng matandang lalake ang mga tauhan nya at diretsong pumunta sa harapan kung nasaan nakatayo ang hari "How's everything?" he asked with authority, his voice is deep and husky simbolo ng katandaan niya.
"Thing's are not going according to plan, hindi ko alam kung saan ako nagkulang. I sent all our men out there to hunt them down, to protect her but they are all dead now" sagot ni King, bakas sa boses nya ang takot at galit.
Nakikinig lang sa Gio sa kanilang dalawa, he knew how tense the atmosphere inside the room "How is she?" tanging tanong ng matanda matapos sabihin ni King ang sitwasyon nila "Well, she's fine. Hindi pa sya nagrereport dito and she doesn't know anything about all the guards." he silently chuckled kaya naman napangiti nalang din si Gio sa narinig niya. His twin is too complicated to handle and too smart to be fooled so he knows that somehow she will survive but it also scares him, because anytime her twin might uncover their secret.
"I am sure she looked exactly like my wife." sabi ng kaya naman napatingin ang lahat ng tao sa loob ng kwarto sa lalakeng kinatatakutan nila.
His wife died years ago, the Queen died years ago.
Gio's Dad laughed "I know, at mana din po sya sa asawa ko. My wife looks exactly like your wife Papa" and they both smile.
"How many assassins are killed today?" biglang naging seryoso na naman ang usapan nila
"10 assassin Master" Gio decided to speak up since sya ang naka assign sa bagay na ito
"All of our men were found dead. All of my twin's protectors" he reported and gave a piece of paper showing all the bodies of their former warriors. The old man heaves a sigh.
"And how about Apollo? May balita na ba sa kanya" tanong ulit ng matanda sa kanila, all members of the higher ranks looked at them in amusement sa kadahilanang wala pa ng nakakakita kay Apollo ni minsan.
"Wala pa akong naririnig na balita galing sa kanya but may iniwan syang salita para sa iyo Papa" and the King smiled bago nagpatuloy sa pagsasalita "Hindi daw niya alam na sobrang brat ang pinapabantay sa kanya" and he chuckled again, napatawa na rin ang Master dahil sa narinig nya
"King, who's Apollo?" gulong tanong ni Gio dahil hindi niya alam na may naka assign na mag babantay sa kapatid bukod sa mga tauhan nila.
"Siya ang naka assign sa kapatid mo para magbantay." simpleng sagot ng Ama niya
"I know that but King, Apollo is a messenger. A freelance. Pwede spy sya na kalaban ang you are trusting that person to protect my twin?!" his voice raised in anger pero tinitigan lang sya ng Lolo at Tatay niya.
"Don't raise your voice on us Shadow" kalmang banta ng Tatay niya. "I don't give a damn Dad but if that Apollo put my Sister's life to risk ako mismo ang papatay sa kanya" and Gio stormed out of the room.
"He really is an overprotective twin" sabi ng matanda and smiled.
"Apollo will protect her right Master?" nagkibit balikat lang ang matanda sa tanong ng Hari sa kanya.
