Lucky's POV

I close my eyes to the King's strong whip blow on Draco's back, I don't know why, but my chest tightened at what was happening to him, and the tears in my eyes surprised me.

Why? Why am I feeling this way?

Napatingin ako sa mga mata ni Draco at nakita ko ang walang buhay niyang mga mata, ni hindi siya natinag man lang or tila hindi niya ramdam ang sakit na dulot ng paghampas ng kanyang ama sa likod niya. As if it was nothing, maybe he was used to what his father was doing to him.

The sight of the blood splattered by the King's overpowering blow distracted me. Later, the King abruptly came to a halt, and I looked around to see Draco lying on the floor, his face expressionless.

"That isn't the only thing that will happen to you if you break my rules again." The King said, it was dangerous, and then he threw the whip somewhere and walked towards his throne, leaving Draco lying on the floor as a woman approached him, her hair was curly with a green stripe. She approached Draco with a worried expression on her face and supported him upright.

"Why are you so careless, Draco? Look at what happened to you." It caressed Draco's face, and he gave it a serious look.

The woman helped Draco in leaving that place, and I simply followed them until they reached a room.

Who is that lady? Why am I so irritated with her?
I don't know why, but I feel bad for that woman, as if she's about to do something terrible or what.

She placed Draco on the bed and removed his clothes, naglakad siya papuntang kusina ng kwarto saka kumuha ng planggana at bimpo. Pagkakuha niya ay nilagyan niya ito ng maligamgam na tubig at saka siya bumalik sa kinaroroonan ni Draco, napangiwi naman ako nang dahan-dahan niyang pinupunasan ang likod ni Draco gamit ang bimpo saka nilagay sa maligamgam na tubig.

She finished cleaning Draco's wound a few hours later and applied a bandage to it.

She locked her gaze on Draco, who had fallen asleep. "I don't really know what I'm going to do to you because you always fight your father." She said as she caressed Draco's face, and I strongly refused to what she was doing for reasons I don't understand.

"If you keep doing that, that may not be the end of it, he may kill you as he did to your mother, knowing that it is associated with goodness," What the woman said shocked me. Is his father really that bad? To the point that he was able to kill his mother.

The woman stood up.
"I'm leaving, if you need help, you know where to find me." Pagkasabi n'ong babae ay umalis na ito, mayamaya nagulat ako sa biglang pagsulpot ng babaeng nakabalabal.

Even though her face was covered, the curve of her body told me she was a woman.

"Who are you?" The voice that came out from Draco's mouth was dangerous, but  his eyes remained closed. Even with his eyes closed, he could tell that someone had arrived.

The woman remained hunched over, unafraid of Draco's voice.

Who's this woman?

"I'm sorry..." When the woman spoke, my eyes widened, and it was non other than Erra dahil sa boses niya na malamya pero kapag galit at seryoso nakakakilabot kapag narinig.

"What are you doing here?" Ngayon lang iminulat ni Draco ang kaniyang mga mata at seryosong tumingin kay Erra, tinanggal ni Erra ang takip sa ulo niya at sinalubong ang nakakatakot na tingin ni Draco.

"I'm sorry you ended up in that situation, I hope you didn't fight with them." Draco bowed and averted his gaze.

"I can't stay quiet and do nothing—" He didn't finish what he was about to say when Erra interrupted him.

"But you are one of with them!" Her voice raised, I don't understand the anger in her eyes, it seems like a while ago her voice was calm, as if she had a guilty conscience, but now she seems angry.

"I don't care if they're my race, as long as they're doing bad things, I'm not going to let them." Draco looked into Erra's eyes, and Erra lost the emotion in her eyes.

"Why?" She blinked once.

"What do you mean— why?" Draco frowned at Erra's question.

"Bakit mo ito ginagawa? 'Di ba dapat pumanig ka sa iyong mga kauri?"

"Do you believe I like it? Do you think I like the race to which I belong? No, Erra! I just want a normal life, a peaceful life. I had never dreamed of this kind of life, I didn't want to be the prince of demons and especially of darkness," Erra was speechless, and I had gone silent as well. A person's goodness is not determined by race, even if his blood is pure bad, he has a goodness in his heart.

"I'm not..." He hung up what he was saying, "As bad as you think." Erra walked over to Draco's bedside and sat down.

"Draco..." When Erra said that, my eyes turned and I dell down.

After only a few seconds bumalik sa normal ang paningin ko then pagdilat ko ng mata at nasa ibang lugar na ako, nangunot ang noo ko dahil wala na ako sa kwarto kung saan nag-uusap sina Draco at Erra.

Where am I again?

Naglalakad ako, kasalukuyan akong nandito sa palengke ng bayan, sa tingin ko ang lugar na ito ay ang lugar na pinuntahan namin noon ni Zaphael. Ang lugar kung saan namin unang nakalaban ang mga Anthegwere.

I collided with something while walking, but my body penetrated its body, so I'm sure he felt my presence.

I was surprised because it was Noah, and he continued to walk while I followed him because he might go to Erra.

As I followed him, I noticed the apple he was carrying.

He paused for a moment and called Erra, who is currently arranging vegetables and placing them in the container.

"Noah, long time no see. Saan ka pumunta at ngayon lang kita nakita?" Erra asked, her arms crossed. Noah was scratching his head so hard that someone calling Erra was about to speak; the three of us looked over and saw Draco with a lifting drum.

"Where to put it?" He asked Erra instead of just glaring at Noah, and I noticed the frown on Noah's brow.

"Simply set it aside," Draco placed the drum on the side of the shelves after Erra said that, and then an old woman appeared, holding a staff.

"Thank you so much to both of you, without you, my back would have probably hurt again from lifting and repairing that." Erra smiled sweetly and then held the old woman's hand.

"It's nothing, Esther, you know it's my duty to help and ensure everyone's safety here." Erra's back was lightly tapped by the elderly lady.

"Hindi ko makakalimutan iyon pero lubos pa rin akong nagpapasalamat at ang mga tao rito dahil sa mabilis mong pagtulong sa aming lahat, you have a wonderful heart, and you are also beautiful." The old woman's compliment made Erra even more shy.

"Esther, you even managed to flatter." Erra laughed, and it sounded like music to our ears. Anyone who hears and sees her laugh will be completely mesmerized.

"As for you, Esther. Bakit hindi ka kumuha ng isang tao na tutulong sa 'yo sa pagbebenta? It's not that you're struggling, what do you think you are too young to do that? You're getting old." I looked at the two men because they were still stunned by Erra's laugh.

"Don't brag about my age." Erra laughed out loud when the old woman frowned. She was stunning and looked like a goddess.

Erra turned her gaze to the two and frowned at their stunned expression.

When the two recovered, they were so quick in the blink of an eye that they averted their gaze, but it was too late because Erra had already seen them.

"Anong nangyari sa inyong dalawa? Bakit parang natulala kayo riyan?" She asked, hindi umimik ang dalawa, kaya nagkibit-balikat na lang si Erra.

Marami pa silang inayos sa tindahan ng matandang babae bago sila umalis, niyaya ni Erra ang dalawa na pumunta sa gubat para mag pahinga. Hindi sana sasama si Draco pero walang nagawa itong nagawa nang hawakan ni Erra ang kamay niya at hinila.

Noah, on the other hand, had a negative reaction to Erra and Draco's holding hands  I also noticed Draco staring at their hands while Erra looks so innocent and happy as they walked into the forest.

I was surprised after a few hours of walking because Erra kept walking and did not stop in the mentioned forest; the two just followed and did not question why they didn't go to the forest.

I was amazed when we passed a rainbow and then found ourselves somewhere else. I looked back but couldn't see the place we had recently been in, instead, I could only see the rainbow.

"What place is this? I've never been here in all my years on this world." Noah said with amazement.

Even Draco was amazed by the place, he didn't say anything, but I could see in his eyes.

Erra let go of Draco's hand and dashed up the high mountain, we're in the mountain, and it's charming because the color of the surroundings is unusual. The mountain is violet, and the trees are pink mixed with yellow, there are also fireflies flying, despite the fact that it is still morning.

"What kind of place is this, Erra?" Erra looked at Noah for a moment before returning her gaze to the sky.

"This place I call Erfania is one of my favorite places to visit." Erra had a wide smile on her lips, which stunned the two men once more. Erra raised both her hands and turned round and round.

She had a softly almond eyes and red heart shaped lips, a Greek nose with an oval face shape, dark brown hair with straight hip length, and an hourglass body.
It is enticing to look at, especially with its foot-length and off-shoulder dress, which has a perforated design on the side.

"Her beauty will never fade." Draco murmured, so Noah and I looked at him.

"She was beautiful, which why she captured my heart."
Draco frowned and looked at Noah without emotion.

"What is your relationship?" Halos kinilabutan ako sa pagsasalita niya, nakakatakot at may bakas ng panganib.

"What if I tell you that I am her husband?" Noah smiled, and my brows met.

This man also has rough behavior, far away from Zaphael. Even though I often don't get along with Zaphael, I still feel good about him and know he is not like this Noah.

I knew something was wrong with him the moment I saw him for the first time.

I looked at Draco because he became silent.

I hope he doesn't believe at Noah!

"Noah! Draco! Come here, it's nice here." Erra yelled as Noah approached, whereas Draco simply shook his head and went to a tree, where he climbed.

I noticed Erra's frown and her surprise at what Draco was up to; perhaps Draco was bored with what Noah said.

Is he jealous? Does he like Erra?

"Of course, he is."
