Tara
The king is in danger as one of the enemies has stepped inside our territory.
It's almost a check. About few blocks away, there was a person who possessed a strange semblance.
With those ringing sound of bells...
... I don't know if I could save the King.
Tiningnan ako ni LX para magbigay ng utos kung paano ako kikilos mula sa nag-aabang na kalaban.
As I faced the window, there was a man peeking behind the curtains. Shit. We need to hide as soon as possible!
But I can't make a move because the King has not yet giving any orders.
"LX!" iniiwasan kong makagawa ng ingay dahil baka kami makita ng mga tao sa labas.
LX looked at me and I quickly received his message.
Right.
I need to summon Hero. Hindi ako makaka-atake sa kalaban kung walang dedepensa sa gagawin ko.
"Shouldn't we hide ourselves so that they won't know we are here?" suhestiyon ni Aria.
Kung ganun kadali ang umiwas sa mga taong nakapalibot sa labas, kanina pa kami nakapagtago sa likod ng mga furnitures.
One of them was not an ordinary enemy.
As I could hear chimes of bells while the silhouttes from the window are moving, I'm sure that they brought a magus.
"Hero. Where the hell is that boy?" I quietly exclaimed to myself.
Kahit pilit kong tinatawag si Hero gamit ang aking isipan, ni anino niya ay hindi ko makita.
What should I do? What should I do?!
"Castling."

Aria
I don't know if a chess player would be happy to see our moves because of what's happening right now.
You see, the Queen must protect her King. But in this game, the King was busy protecting his so-called Queen.
Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ito ang strategy nila LX at Tara matapos may magmasid sa aming kalaban.
I can't see any checkered patterns on the floor para magsabi sila ng command from A1 to H8.
"Hindi ba pwedeng tumakas na lang tayo dahil hindi naman nila alam kung may tao dito?"
If we still keep hiding from the shadows, aabutin kami ng umaga sa loob ng kabanya.
LX's grip got tightened that his nails could almost burrow on my skin.
"You don't know what that Magus can do to you, Aria Haran." puno ng pagbabanta niyang sabi sa akin.
Right. Psh. I think they are willing to wait until dawn just to make sure that the Magus-person won't see us.
Patay naman kami kila Sir Grant kapag nalaman nilang wala sa château ang ilang mag-aaral ng akademyang Splendid.
"But I still can't understand why do we need to act like chess players."
Nasakal ako nang mas humigpit pa ang yakap sa akin ni LX. Hindi ko naman kasalanang magtanong dahil wala akong alam sa stratehiya nilang dalawa.
"The spell has ceased. We should get out of the cabin."
Dali-dali kaming tumakbo papasok sa kusina ng kabanya mula sa pangunguna ni Tara.
There was a trap door resting under the dinning table which could only fit one person at a time.
