Chapter 35: Impostor King

Lucky's POV

Dahan-dahan akong tumayo habang nakatingin pa rin sa kapatid ng Hari na kasalukuyang nakaluhod at nagdadalamhati sa pagkawala ng kanyang anak, maging ako ay nakaramdam ng lungkot at pagsisisi sa sarili kong ginawa.

Did I do the right thing?

I feel guilty because I saw the King's brother cry with my own eyes.

My heart and mind are fighting over what I should be feeling; my mind says I did the right thing, that they only deserve it because they are greedy and want to seize the throne, while my heart feels remorse and I do believe there is something wrong with what is going on now, in this war between the two groups.

Paglingon ko sa kabilang side, nagulat ako dahil biglang nag bago ang lugar kung nasa'n ako, nakikita kong nag-uusap ang Hari at ang kanyang kapatid. Mukhang seryoso ang usapan nila kaya kumunot ang noo ko.

"My brother, I already know everything." The King looked at his brother in surprise.

"What exactly are you saying, Louis?" My forehead furrowed even more when the King called his brother by the name of this Louis, to my knowledge Louis is the name of the King. Lexus, on the other hand, wears the crown.

What's happening? There is something wrong here.

"Huwag mo akong gawing tanga, Lexus." Louis glared at Lexus.

I put my two fingers on my chin and thought.

If the King is Lexus, it just means that King Louis is not the real King. But how did that happen?

Naguguluhan ako kaya minabuti kong makinig na lang para malinawan ako.

"I don't understand what you're saying, Louis." Lexus swallowed, and sweat forming on his forehead.

"Do not exaggerate! I'm already aware that I'm not Shakira's father! Because you! You are her biological father." Hinampas ni Louis ang mesa sa pagitan nilang dalawa ni Lexus, tumayo siya, kaya tumayo rin si Lexus.

"L-louis....I'm so sorry-" Only Lexus said so.

"Sorry?! How did you do this to me?! We're siblings, but you had sex with my wife! You're a jerk!" Lexus touch Louis's arm, but Louis quickly yanked it away and twisted it, so Lexus' face is now glued to the table.

"Isn't it enough that you took Queen Thalia from me? You managed to snare both the woman I first loved and my late wife!" Pinilipit ni Louis ang kamay ng Hari, while I was stunned by what I discovered.

"Forgive me, I know I have sinned a lot against you, but I didn't mean it because that night I was not in the right frame of mind because I had a deep argument with Thalia-" When Louis strangled him, the King's words were cut off.

"But that's not a good enough reason for you to do that thing! I trust you, kahit noon pa man ay sobrang inggit na ako sa 'yo dahil ikaw ang piniling maging Hari at hindi ako!" He shouted and put more pressure on the King, later he let go, so the King fell down and coughed.

Biglang nag bago ang kulay ng mga mata ni Louis, napansin kong nawala na ang puti at naging purong itim na lang pero ilang sandali pa ay bumalik na sa dati.

I was surprised because he opened his palm and it utters a strange word which I really don't understand and which I have only now heard in all my life.

"L-louis, what are you doing?" The King stammered and his eyes suddenly widened, as if he already knew what his brother was doing. "That's dangerous! Stop doing that ritual!" He shouted but Louis did not listen even though there was blood coming out of his nose.

Nagliwanag ang katawan ng dalawa at biglang natahimik si Lexus.

"No one will recognize you as a King, but I, Louis, will recognize as the King of the entire Flare Kingdom. I will also recognize the father and husband of your family, as well as the people in this Kingdom. Furthermore, I will be recognized by all of the creatures in the Legendarria World!" Lexus shook his head, but he couldn't do anything when, immediately after Louis uttered his final words, the King was enveloped in black smoke.

The same thing happened to Lexus, a black smoke enveloped Louis' body. Lexus then lay on the floor, its red eyes having just turned black, so I looked at Louis' body, which was now also lying on the floor, and I saw his wide-awake eyes turn red.

Tumayo si Louis at ngumisi.

When it rolled fast and took the dagger on the floor and threw it at Lexus, holding it by his side when it hit him, it released a fire mixed with black that would have hit Lexus. Lexus vanished so quickly that Louis couldn't catch up with him, but I sensed he was weakening.

Hindi ako makapaniwala sa nangyari, kung gayon,hindi talaga si King Louis ang totoong Hari. Iyon ang nangyari na kailangang malaman ng lahat.

I returned to where I was when I took a step.

"King Lexus!" I yelled, and the King's eyes widened as he looked at me.

"How...how did you find out?" I smiled at him as he slowly stood up.

"It doesn't matter, what matters is that I can return your daughter." I said, then I closed my eyes and hoping to speak with Virgo.

"Virgo, is there any chance I can bring Shakira back?" I asked but she did not respond, so I was scared.

I had no choice because she didn't respond, so I jumped into the hole I'd dug without hesitation. When I closed my eyes, my heart was beating so fast that I could feel it bursting from my chest.

Nang imulat ko ang aking mga mata ay bumungad sa akin ang itim na kapaligiran, napakadilim at natatakot ako na baka hindi na ako makabalik.

Bakit hindi ka nag-iisip, Lucky?
Palagi ka na lang padalos-dalos, totoo ang sinasabi ni Zaphael, matigas nga ang ulo ko.

Lumingon-lingon ako sa kinaroroonan ko pero wala akong makita dahil sa sobrang dilim, para akong nasa ilalim ng dagat, ang pinagkaiba lang ay hindi tubig kundi malakas na hangin. Malakas ang hangin sa lugar na ito at dahil hindi ko makita ang lugar ay pumikit ako at nagconcentrate.

After only a few moments, my whole body lit up, so brightly that you thought I was a light. This is one of the Virgo power abilities I've discovered; it's wonderful because at first, I jumped because I was so happy the days I discovered it.

I looked around again, and unlike before, I flew to the other side of the area to look for her. Anyone who falls into this hole will simply float, and I wondered why I was still breathing when the hole was so deep that I should not be able to breathe and be unconscious.

Maybe it's because I made that magical hole.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang mag tungo sa pinaka ilalim dahil nakita ko ang anak ni Lexus na nakalutang doon at walang malay, agad akong lumipad papunta sa kanya at binuhat siya paakyat.

Nang malapit na kami sa taas ay huminto ako saglit saka ipinatong ang palad ko sa noo ng babae at gaya ng inaasahan ko, may lumabas na puting liwanag sa palad ko, kaya hinimas ko ito sa noo niya, maya-maya ay dahan-dahan niyang binuksan ang mga mata niya.

She pushed me when she saw me, but I quickly grabbed her because she was about to fall and again couldn't breathe even though she was floating.

"Keep your distance from me!" I rolled my eyes as she yelled and tried to flee.

"Pwede ba tumahimik ka, ang ingay mo." I was irritated when I told her, so she was stunned but moved once more.

"What exactly are you doing here? Why don't you simply let me go?" I was annoyed by her stern voice and flew up instead of responding.

How is that? How can we get back to the top?

I didn't know how we were going to get up because there was nothing to hold on to, and I don't know how to fly.

"Hey, answer me-" I was staring at her so hard that she couldn't finish what she was saying.

"Do you want to get to the bottom of this? That will happen if I let you go." She blinked and then avoided looking at me, I rolled my eyes at her and was about to say something when I looked up and saw a hand waiting for me.

Maybe it was Lexus, maybe he saw us struggling to get up and put his hand there.

Buong pwersa kong binuhat ang babae kaya naman hinawakan niya ito at hinila, naghintay ako ng matagal pero walang kamay na nagpakita ulit. Yumuko ako at nag-isip.

Is he not planning on getting me out of here? My question made me laugh.

Why would he help me if I was the reason he almost lost his child? Maybe he'll pay me back for what I did earlier.

"Hold my hand."

Nagulat ako at mabilis na nag-angat nang tingin sa kaniya, nandoon na ang kamay niya at hindi nag tagal napangiti ako dahil hindi siya tulad ng iniisip ko, na masama siya at iiwan lang ako rito dahil sa ginawa ko sa anak niya.

I reached for his hand, medyo nahirapan siya sa pag hatak sa akin dahil parang may humihila sa 'kin pababa pero nagawa niya akong hilahin.

Similarly, I looked around and was saddened to see some of the novices had died, I knelt on the ground and my tears were slowly dripping.

"What happens now, Lucky? I let them go, despite my promises to protect them and their future." I shivered and felt intense pain in my chest.

I don't deserve to be a Celestial Guardian because I couldn't protect them. What if I haven't done anything since the beginning, and everything is in danger?

"Lucky..." When I heard Virgo's voice in my head, I closed my eyes. "It is not your fault the other novice died." She said it calmly, which made me feel even worse about the fact that they were not defended.

"It's my fault, Virgo, because I prioritize others over them." I respond from my mind.

"Fortunately, everything happens for a reason. It's not your fault what happened because their loss was predestined, Lucky, and it's the same in war, so instead of being upset and discouraged by what happened, why don't you save and protect the rest?" I was taken aback by what she said and slowly stood up, standing tall as I looked around at all the fighters.

Tama si Virgo, wala akong patutunguhan kung magiging ganito lang ako.

I took a deep breath, then concentrated and raised my two hands to attract their attention, a very bright object emerged from my hands, and everyone stopped and stared at me.

"Stop this fight!" I shouted, and I saw Jorvina, Linglie, George, and Zaphael frown as a result of what I said.

"Lucky! What exactly are you saying?" Jorvina asked as she lowered her sword slowly.

"All of this is nonsense because I know the truth. King Louis is not really the King." Everyone was shocked at what I said.

"What do you mean?" I felt King Lexus by my side as George asked.

"I am the real King." The King said this without emotion, and they both frowned at what they discovered.

"Don't tell me you believe in him, Lucky? That man is cunning, and he is only fooling you." When George said who wasn't believing, I shook my head.

"His brother Louis performed the ritual, so you all believe he is the King and not King Lexus." I sighed as I lowered both my hands and released the Virgoan whip, because they clearly don't believe based on their expressions.

I now wield the Virgoan whip, twisting it around and pulling hard until a shiny object emerged from the whip and landed on everyone. They both passed out and then returned to their former selves.

Nang makita nila si King Lexus ay yumuko silang lahat as a sign of respect to the King in front of them, napatingin ako kay King Lexus habang tinatapik niya ako sa balikat.

"Thanks a lot," He smiled, a successful smile, and hugged his daughter, whom he was only with now because Louis was the one his father recognized.

"Father," As George got closer to us, I looked at him. Even though he was hugging his other child, the two hugged. "I can't believe it, kaya naman pala magaan ang loob ko sa 'yo, Shakira, because you're my sister." George's smile was so big it was strange on its emotionless face, I assumed he was like this with his family

"Lucky," Lumapit sa akin si Zaphael at nakita ko ang mukha niya kaya kumunot ang noo ko.

"What does that expression mean?" I winced as he laughed.

"I'm just happy for you because you can-" Zaphael stopped speaking, when there was a loud thunderclap and the devilish laugh of the person none other than Louis.

"Sa tingin niyo ba ay gano'n na lang 'yon? You are wrong!" Its voice was strange, it sounded like the devil's combined voice.

"Stop it, Louis! There's nothing you can do because everyone knows the truth at wala ka nang tagasunod sa iyong mga maling gawain!" King Lexus yelled, and Louis's laughter grew louder before abruptly ceasing, and he smirked.

"D'yan kayo nagkakamali!" We were taken aback when the dead from the war stood up and surrounded us all, there were so many of them.

"Don't mess with the dead!" I shouted in disgust, and he narrowed his eyes at me.

"You! This is entirely your fault! You ruined my plans, and you will pay for this!" He attacked with powerful violet flames, but I was unaffected, I simply stared at it.

The fire disappeared spontaneously as it struck the shield I'd built, it was a large shield, so not everyone was hit. When Jorvina, Linglie, and Zaphael looked at me, I frowned because it's difficult to make such a large shield, especially for someone like me who is just new to using power.

I ignored their surprise.

"Prepare to kill them again, because evil has taken control of their minds and souls!" When the King shouted, they became alert to the opponents' onslaught.

Nang mawala ang shield na ginawa ko ay hinigpitan ko ang hawak sa latigo at saka hinampas ng malakas ang kalaban pag harap nito sa akin.

Zaphael and I were back to back, so we looked at each other, I jumped high, and he stabbed the man in front of me.

"Ultimate Virgoans Whip!"

When I waved my whip at the enemy who rushed at me, power came out of nowhere, and the opponent died immediately.

I noticed that they were easily defeated because they no longer had a pulse, only Louis' power kept them moving.

Similarly, I kicked the novice girl hard, at first, I was skeptical because this woman I freaking saw with Nizza and her friends, I frowned as I remembered Nizza. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw her fighting with her fellow novice, I admired her fighting prowess and courage to fight her comrades, and became her friend as well. Naging matagumpay ang pagtuturo ni Linglie sa kaniya.

I bowed as someone punched me, kicked it with my knee, causing him to fall, and then wrapped the whip around him, causing him to die again. Someone else rushed at me with its sword, so I jumped up from my seat on the ground and smacked him with my whip with great force.

I stood up straight and looked around at everyone who was still fighting. George defends himself against the sword that strikes him, turning himself so hard that his opponent falls down. He stepped on it and then stabbed it without hesitation.

Zaphael, on the other hand, combines his fire power with wind. With his right hand, he extinguishes the fire and with his left, the wind, the opponent loses quickly every time it hits them, and he alternates between the two so that his attack becomes stronger.

Jorvina, on the other hand, has no trouble just dodging every attack of a woman and sentinel; her movements were so fast that she appeared to be wind at super speed, and as a result, the two opponents in front of her were stabbed due to the speed of her evasion. She was pushed back slightly when she was slap in the face. She was enraged and immediately hit the sentinel, then punched him as if there was no tomorrow. I winced at what I saw.

If you think it would be better not to suffer like that, don't slap her because she said it was better to punch her rather than slap her, and when I asked her why, she just said it was like stepping on her ego as a strong woman.

Linglie, on the other hand, is an excellent fighter who can easily defeat her opponent using her poison.

As far as I know, the poison of the white demon and the poison of the dark demon differ because the white does not have strong poison, Linglie's poison is dangerous but there is hope of cure, whereas the poison of the dark demon has none.
