Third POV

"Lady S!" When the woman with crimson blood eyes turned to face the person who had called her, she showed no expression. "Pardon my boldness, but are you sure about this plan?"

"When did I joke?" Because of her words, the man gulped and turned away, unable to bear the glances she was giving him.

"Ngunit, Lady S, maraming tao ang maaaring madamay. Paano naman ang inosenteng Catrusian? Mapayapa ang kanilang buhay ngunit maaari silang mamatay dahil sa Ogres na dadalhin natin sa Catrus Land."

Umiling si Lady S at inikutan ang lalaki, dahilan para mahabol nito ang hininga. "Nobody is spared in this vengeance. There is no such thing as innocence in this world! They must all be removed from this world!" As Lady S yelled, there was a tremendous wind and tossing items into the room, so the man knelt and apologized profusely for what he said.

"I-i u-understand, Lady S. Please forgive my rudeness; I pledge not to question any of your decisions from now on."

"Good. Get everything ready," the man got up and headed away, pero napatigil siya sa sinabi ng babae, "don't worry, the Catrusians' lives are in her hands...and I believe in her." Nakatalikod siya habang sinasabi niya ang mga katagang iyon. Nakangiting tumango ang lalaki saka siya lumabas. A gentle smile.

The woman grinned, and let's just call her Lady S. She grinned broadly at the young girl Lucky as she reflected on the events that had occurred before now.

Isang hakbang pasulong ang ginawa ni Lady S, ngunit naging alerto si Lucky dahilan upang bahagyang humagikgik ang babae. A chuckle that is lifeless or empty.

"Who are you? And why are you doing this? What, more crucially, do you mean?"

"It's simple, I meant everything. I intended to release the Ogres that caused the death of those with you." Dahil sa sinabi nito ay nanlaki ang mga mata ni Lucky. Hindi niya inaasahan na may alam ito, na alam nito ang nangyari na bumalik siya sa panahon bago ang trahedya. Most importantly, is about the zodiac spirit.

"Who are you really? Why are you doing this?" The woman's face was devoid of expression, and Lucky was practically out of breath because of the way Lady S looked at her.

"You will also understand why I am doing this when the time comes, but for now, I am delighted we met. More significantly, I want you to know that I gave you not just the Ogre as a test to see whether you could release Libra, but also Charybdis." Lucky stared in shock.

"Y-you...you are the one who woke Charybdis?!" Lady S's grin broadened since she was delighted with the girl's reaction. Sa hindi niya malamang kadahilanan, parang may kung anong humahaplos sa kanyang puso mula nang makita niya ang mukha ng dalaga, at gusto niya itong yakapin ng napakahigpit, but there was a part of her that stopped her, which she was thankful for.

She cleared her throat. "Yes, I am."

Lucky's eyes widened as she summoned the celestial sword right away. "If so, you are an enemy!" She attacked the woman at the same moment she stated that.

However, it seems to be windy because of the woman's fast movements while without even changing her position.

Lucky threw the sword towards a tree near Lady S. Lady S just discovered that the young woman leaped and placed her foot on the sword embedded in the tree before landing on her shoulder. It was too late to escape it, forcing her to fail and get caught by the girl.

Lucky wrapped her right arm around Lady S's neck, tight enough that she wouldn't let go. "Tell me. Who are you? Why are you doing this?" maririnig ang panganib sa boses ng dalaga, ngunit imbes na magulat at matakot ay ngumisi at tumawa si Lady S.

"HAHAHAHAH!"

Napakunot ang noo ni Lucky dahil sa biglang pagtawa ng babaeng nasa harapan niya. Lalong kumunot ang noo niya dahil hindi man lang bumakas sa mukha nito ang takot at pag-aalala para sa buhay niya. It just means that the woman in front of her is not an ordinary being in this world. Just by its presence, its strong black power screams.

"I said, who the hell are you?! Answer me!" she stopped laughing and her expression grew solemn.

"I admire how brave and strong you are. I like the attitude you show." It grinned once more. Lucky's lips parted for reasons she didn't understand because she felt a peculiar warmth in her chest.

She shook her head to clear her mind of the unnameable feeling in her heart. Muli niyang sinummon ang kanyang espada, itinaas, at inatake ang babae, ngunit natigilan siya ilang metro ang layo ng espada sa leeg ng babae. Parang may pumipigil sa kaniya na gawin ang kailangan niyang gawin; sigurado si Lucky na hindi siya minamanipula ng ginang dahil nararamdaman niya ito sa kaniyang puso. Ayaw niyang patayin ang babae.

No! What...what is happening to me?!

Lady S had an opportunity because Lucky was distracted by her inexplicable feeling, she hit Lucky's chin with her elbow and Lucky's sword was held by her then she thrust it into her stomach but she made sure that it was not deep and that the injury Lucky sustained would not be critical.

She pressed her lips to the girl's ear before standing up, and the words that made Lucky's eyes widen came out. "I like how strong you are but not the goodness of your heart. " It refers to the girl's hesitation to stab her.

Simpleng sambit nito at tumayo. Nagulat si Lucky nang ilahad ng babae ang kamay nito para tulungan siyang tumayo. Mabilis niyang inabot ang kamay nito sa hindi niya malamang dahilan.

When she eventually stood up, the woman placed her lips back to Lucky's ear. "You should never accept your opponent's open palm because if you do so without a second thought, it will be the end of you," Lady S turned around and took three steps before abruptly stopping and tilting her head slightly. "Consider me your major enemy, and put this name in your mind: Lady S."

Napaluhod si Lucky ng maglaho ito, at nang kumirot ang sugat na natamo ay nakagat niya ang pang ibabang labi dahil sa hapdi.

"Lady S, huh?"

At the same time as she whispered that, the celestial sword Khael transformed into human form. His expression was filled with concern.

"Lucky!" he shouted and after that she lost consciousness.
