"But... There's something in this poison that I need to research first. For now, I can't tell you anything about it. I need to confirm first." Saka siya bumaling ng tingin sa akin. "I can tell that the poison is from the blade you used."
"From the blade I used?" Napatingin ako sa akumas blade na nakalapag sa side table ng kama. "This is her blade. Is it possible that she know about this poison?"
How can she let me used her blade against her if she know that there's a poison on it?
"I need to go. I can't wait to study about this poison. This is very rare and I wanna know it's components." Saka niya ako tinapik sa balikat.
I sight with the though that she's in danger because of me.
I already know her Identity being the gangster queen, being Queen Dark. But just like her code name, the every information are hard to get. It's all keeping in the dark. I didn't even know who really she is.
I have many question about her. One of this is about the akumas blade. Paano napunta yun sa kaniya? Is she related to the Legendary Dragons?
There's one thing that I'm sure about her. She's not simple. I know, just like me there's many secret lay in her.

Dahan dahan kong iminulat ang aking mga mata. Sumalubong sa akin ang kulay puting kisame.
'Where I am?'
I can feel a little pain from my shoulder. Then memories about the Bloody Welcome flow in my mind.
'The duel... The Blade dance...'
Tsk!
Akmang babangon na ako ng bomukas ang pinto. Pumasok si Eurica at mukhang hindi pa niya napapansin na gising na ako.
Pagtingin niya sa akin ay para siyang nakakita ng multo dahil sa nanlalaki ang kaniyang mga mata.
"Athena! Your awake!.. Gosh!.." Tili nito saka bigla na lang tumakbo palabas ng kuwarto.
Seriously? Napailing na lang ako.
Wala pang ilang minuto ang lumilipas ng bomukas ang pinto at sunod-sunod na pumasok ang mga member ng DR's. Although not all of them is here, still may mga bagong mukha akong nakita na hindi ko kilala.
"Kamusta na ang pakiramdam mo Athena?" Si Harmony na agad lumapit sa akin at naupo sa gilid ng kama.
Somunod si Myzielle at Eurica.
"I'm fine."
I glance at the people around me. I don't know why all of them look relieved. Napabuntong hininga pa ang mga lalaki.
"What are you doing here? Where I am?" I ask them with my cold an in a low voice.
"Nasa H.Q ka namin Empress." A beautiful girl with curly hair answer me while smiling.
Napatikwas ang kilay ko dahil sa tinawag niya sa akin.
I am about to ask her when the other girl speak.
"Your our Empress because you past the initiation to become a member. After all ever since ay vacant talaga ang Empress position due to the reason that no one is qualified. Until you came." She explain. "I'm Savannah by the way, the dutches."
I stare at him for a moment then nod.
"I'm Cameron, the first princess." Yung babaing tumawag sa akin ng Empress.
"I'm Jaruz, the 2nd king of DR's." A guy standing beside the red hair guy.
"I'm Azeter, you can call me Aze. I'm the first king." If I'm not mistaken, he is the guy who use kunays.
"Hi, nice to meet you in person. I'm Janzen, Jaruz is my brother and I'm the 4rth princess. Nasa black room din ako but I didn't fight at you."
Indeed, she is there pero hindi ko lang masyadong binigyan ng pansin.
"I'm Laraine, 3rd princess. Same reason to Janzen."
"I'm Reviel, and they are Yedgel, Rovick and Christof. We are the first prince." Hyper na pagpapakilala ng lalaking naka itim.
"Who told you to introduced me? I can introduced myself in my own." Reklamo ng nagngahalang Christof.
"Ayaw mo nun? Conserve saliva." Natatawang pang aalaska ni Yedgel.
"Pagpasinsiyahan mo na ang mga yan. Sadyang may sakit lang sila sa mga utak." Anang lalaking may highlight na blue ang buhok. "I'm Yroxe. The dutch."
"Dutch milk!.." Sabay na sabi ni Yedgel at Reviel. Habang naiiling na lang ang iba.
I don't know why, I am curious where is he..? Pero hindi ko pinahalata.
"Welcome to Deadly Royal's Family." Masayang sabay sabay nilang sabi, including the 3 queens.
'Family..."
I already lost my family. From that day, wala na akong itinuring na pamilya. I only treat the people around me as an acquittance.
While looking at their smiling face... I can't stop myself thinking those moments. When I still have them beside me.

IT'S been three days bago ako pinayagan ng DR's na pumasok. Specially the three queens. Hindi ako umangal dahil tinatamad din naman akong pumasok.
While walking in a hallway. Pansin ko ang pagbibigay nila ng daan. Pati ang bahagyang pagyuko nila. Dahilan para mapakunot-noo ako.
I am about to ask one of the student when an insect stop in front of me.
"Look whose here... The fame w***e commoner."
'Commoner..?'
I stare at her using my so cold eyes. She is so stupid to call me a commoner. Which impact, I can buy even her soul and no one.
I just stare at her and never say anything. I'm too lazy to talk, specially to a nonsense person.
"You b***h! How dare you to seduce the emperor!"
Napatikwas ang kaliwa kong kilay dahil sa sinabi niya. Kaila ko pa sineduce ang lalaking yun?
"What did you say? Me? Seduce the emperor? Are you nuts? I'm not a w***e just like you, slut!"
Ang sarap pugutan ng ulo ang babaing to. Pasalamat siya at may kailangan pa ako sa ka niya. Dahil baka kanina pa gumogulong ang ulo niya sa shig ng hallway.
She is about to hit me when someone stop her.
Napaatras si Hailyparot ng iwaksi ang kamay niyang gustong ipadapo sa mukha ko.
"Hit her and I'll let you feel pain worse than death." A cold voice said with a very intimidating tone.
Naramdaman ko ang piglang pagbilis ng t***k ng puso ko.
'What's wrong with me?'
When I look at him, as usual. His eyes is so cold just like mine.
"Watch your word lady. She's your Empress know your place." Anito na pinagdiinan ang salitang empress.
Before I can react. Namalayan ko na lang na hawak na niya ako sa kamay bago hinila paalis. Hindi ko na pinansin ang kakaibang tingin ng mga tao sa paligid. All I know ay nagpahila na lang ako.
Tumigil lang kami ng nasa may tapat kami ng isang malaking puno.
Naalala ko yung Hell pagoda ng may parang buton siyang pinindot. Bomukas ang isang lagusan pababa.
He again pull me to enter. We walk side by side while he's holding my hand.
Nang makapasok kami sa isang pinto ay natigilan ako.
"What is this place?" Curious kung tanong pero wala akong natanggap na sagot.
Paglingon ko sa kaniya. He is looking at our hand..?
Saka ko lang narealize na hindi pa niya binibitawan ang aking kamay. Agad kong binawe ang aking kamay saka patay malisyang naglakad palapit sa sopa at naupo.
Xythan follow me and seat at the sopa in front of me. Saka niya ipinatong ang paa sa center table.
"This is my secret place."
Naghihintay ako kung may idadagdag pa siya. Pero hindi na siya nagsalita.
"Why did you bring me here?" This person won't bring me in his place without a reason.
"I am going to attend worldwide Mafia gathering. I want you to come and be my date." Deritsong wika niya bago nag-iwas ng tingin.
While looking at him. Hindi ko man lang namalayang nakangiti na pala ako dahil sa pamumula ng kaniyang mukha at magkabilang taynga.
"Tsk! I want you to be prepare. The party will be held in the underground of Vexin University."
"I'm not interested." Akmang tatayo na ako paalis ng magsalita siya.
"I thought, killing snake is your hobby?"
I froze because of his question.
"That's University is one of their laire. You can find different snake there."
