"A child?" Gamit ang mga kamay ay hinawakan ni Ivar ang malaking gulong ng wheelchair at nilapit ang kanyang sarili kung saan nakaluhod si Esmeray.

Habang nakahawi ang kurtina at hawak iyon ni Esmeray, tinignan ni Ivar ang batang lalaki na puno ng luha ang mukha at gutay gutay ang kasuotan nito.

"My child, come here." Inilahad ni Ivar ang kamay niya at tinignan naman iyon ng bata.

"My prince, I think he's afraid of you." Tinignan ni Ivar sa Esmeray at tinuro ang sarili niyang mukha.

"Afraid? This handsome and holy face?" Umiling si Esmeray at tiningnan ang bata.

"Come here, come to big sister." Nagulat si Ivar na halos tumakbo na ang bata para mayakap si Esmeray.

"Child, this big sister can kill people, I'm harmless and I'm a prince." Sabi naman ni Ivar, tinignan si Ivar ng bata mula ulo hanggang paa bago ito tumingin sa kanyang mukha.

"You are a priest, I hate priests the most." The air inside the room started to get serious.

"Why do you hate the priests?" Tanong ni Ivar sa batang lalaki.

"I was sold by a priest together with my twin sister, priest Sabino brought me and my twin here to be his sex slave." There was a long silence after the child confessed.

Napapikit ng mata si Ivar at bigla niyang naalala ang mukha ni Priest Sabino at ang mga bangkay sa basement ng templo. Huminga ng malalim si Ivar at tinignan si Esmeray.

"Take the child to our room and search for some strong evidence. I believe that the corpses and skeletons in the basement are not enough." Magsasalita pa sana si Ivar ngunit biglang bumukas ang pinto at pumasok si Prince Dillon.

"My prince, His Majesty is requesting for your presence." Naramdaman agad ni Ivar ang kanyang ulo na biglang sumakit dahil sa sinabi sa kanya ni Prince Dillon.

"Alright, my personal maid will stay here and help the priests." Matapos iyon sabihin ni Ivar ay biglang nagbukas ng portal si Prince Dillon at agad na tinulak ang kanyang wheelchair papasok sa portal.

This is not the first time that Ivar experienced walking through a portal so he's not surprised anymore. They arrived at the main hall of the main palace. Prince Dillon immediately bowed and so Ivar did.

"Greetings to His Majesty, the Light of the Ohr Kingdom." Sabay na sabi ni Ivar at Prince Dillon. Nagtaka si Ivar dahil natural nalang sa kanya ang pagbati sa Hari. Naisip niya nalang na dahil ito sa totoong Ivar kaya natural nalang sa kanya ang ganito.

"The Jordanes of the East is under the authority of the Ohr Kingdom right now. We will interview the Priest and I will decide what will happen to him in the future." Habang nakayuko ay tinignan ni Ivar ang kanyang mga kamay. He saw his hands covered with blood for a second, he then saw a bit of the original Ivar's memories.

It was a nice and warm day, a lot of people were gathering at the big plaza and Prince Ivar is sitting on his throne as the second Prince, together with his family. The King, the Queen and the Crown Prince.

They are looking down at someone who's about to get killed by beheading him. The man who's kneeling in front of the Royal Family and in front of everyone in the Ohr Kingdom is not Priest Sabino, it was someone else but the face is darkened.

"Rape and killing the innocent children, we will now witness the excecution of the sinner." Prince Ivar stood up and pulled his sword out of its scabbard. The Prince Ivar that was standing in front of everyone was cold and didn't even show mercy in his eyes.

That same Prince Ivar who is weak, kindhearted Prince and Priest, the Prince Ivar who is not smiling anymore. That Prince Ivar that showered himself with blood after cutting the sinner's head. His hands that were covered with blood landed on his face and then he smiled.

"The future of this kingdom will rise again if we stop supporting the-"

"Prince Ivar?" Nag angat ng tingin si Ivar sa Hari.

"I'm sorry Your Majesty, I think I'm tired." Yumuko si Ivar at nag alala naman agad ang Hari at Reyna.

"You should rest for now. I will inform you after we extract some information from the Priest of the God of Stars Temple." Hindi na nagsalita si Ivar at hinayaan na itulak ni Prince Dillon ang kanyang wheelchair.

"You were spacing out earlier, are you okay?" Hindi sumagot si Ivar at tinignan lamang ang kanyang mga kamay.

Naalala niya ang sinabi ng God of Light, totoo nga na may nakikita siyang memorya ni Prince Ivar ngunit hindi iyon sapat. Sa nakita niyang alaala ay nakakalakad si Prince Ivar, hindi malabo na matapos siyang pagalingin ng Tower Master ay agad itong binalita sa buong kaharian.

Naisip din ni Ivar na ang nasa alaala ay hindi si Priest Sabino, nag aalala si Ivar na hindi lang si Priest Sabino ang may kagagawan ng pagpatay at panghahalay sa mga kabataan sa templo.

"You can stop here, I can manage myself." Hindi nag hintay si Ivar ng salita mula kay Prince Dillon at ginamit ang kanyang kamay upang tulungan ang sarili na makapasok sa kanyang silid.

Pagpasok niya ay naabutan niya ang Tower Master na nakatayo malapit sa malaking bintana habang nasa mga bisig niya ang sanggol na nakita nila Ivar sa basement ng templo. Lumingon ang Tower Master kay Ivar at ngumiti.

"I already fed her, Your Highness."

Tumayo si Ivar mula sa kanyang wheelchair at lumapit sa Tower Master.

"It's a girl. Are you going to adopt her?" Umiling ang Tower Master sa tanong ni Ivar.

"As the Tower Master, I can't keep this child Your Highness. My world is too cruel for her."

Tinignan ni Ivar ang sanggol, ang buhok nito ay kulay pilak, ang mga mata niya ay kulay lila na pag nasinagan ng araw ay nagkukulay asul. Isa lang ang pumasok sa isipan ni Ivar habang nakatingin sa sanggol.

"Lilac." Biglang ngumiti ang sanggol at pilit na inaabot ang mukha ni Ivar.

"She's happy with the name you came up with, Your Highness. Are you going to keep her?" Tanong ng Tower Master.

Hinawakan ni Ivar ang kamay ng sanggol at dinala ito sa kanyang pisngi. Ngumiti ng malapad ang sanggol at halos ayaw bitawan ang pisngi ni Ivar.

"If your world is too cruel for her, then my world will be a hell for her. But I can't ignore this sweet child, I will keep her. I will try my best to give her a happy life." Pinikit ni Ivar ang kanyang mga mata at nakita niya agad ang mukha ng kanyang anak na lalaki.

Nakangiti ito sa kanya habang tinatawag siyang 'papa'. Naalala niya kung paano ito umiyak kapag hindi siya ang nakikita sa paggising.

"You will become a good father, Your Highness." The Tower Master was very confident when he said that. He smiled while looking at Ivar playing with the baby.

"You definitely will, I'm sure of it."
