CHAPTER 15 - INSIDE THE ROOMS

Rex's Room

"Show yourself. I know you are there, Lady."

Lady Samson came out, "You have quite good sensitive skills, huh?"

"I don't, you just have made yourself sensible."

"Really? I guess not everyone in here is like you. I have been roaming and its the first time that someone noticed me. I always intrude—" Lady Samson wasn't able to finish what she want to say when Rex tried to grab her, "Too slow, young man. I can't be caught with that lousy moves of yours. Try to be faster. Try to be more tactful. Don't stick with the idea of inheriting the farm, dream bigger and aim for the crown which is truly yours."

"How did you know that? Who are you?"

"I am the Head of this island and—"

"I already know that. Except from those, who are you? Where are you from? Do you belong to nation?"

"Too many questions, My Dear. Stay with the idea of me as the Head of this island. Nothing more, nothing less," those were her last words and leave.

"I know she belongs to a nation. I don't know yet where it is, but I am certain she do. What are your plans? I will make sure to make myself ready. I won't let you hurt anyone, especially my sister."

Friean's Room

Friean was playing with the violin that she found inside her room. Her room was filled with string instruments and books.

"Maybe the Head Mistress knew me since then. She knows what I want and everything is in here. I wonder if Rex is okay," she continued to play the melody.

"Your apple of the eye is doing okay. Don't you worry, Little Princess."

Friean almost dropped the violin, "Oh my gosh! Lady Samson? I'm sorry."

"Don't be my dear, its okay. Everything inside this room is yours, consider it yours."

"Really? Well it is too much but in the meantime, I'll accept it. But when we leave, I will leave it here because I have all of these on my room at the palace."

"I understand. I heard your melody awhile ago. If I am not mistaken, the sound gives me the feeling of sadness and dismay. May I know why?"

"Can you keep it confidential?" she asked. Friean trusts anybody easily. She is so soft-hearted that no one could get a no from her. That's the thing his Father hates the most, so he decided to send Rex with her. Her father was aware of her feelings towards Rex, so they decided to tell her about their real connection with each other.

"Of course, My Dear. Although I already have a clue," Lady Samson chuckled.

"Really? You do? Okay, to make things clear, I'll tell you all of it," Friean take a deep breath, "It was just recent when I found out that the guy I have been admiring for years is my older brother. The very first time I saw him, I could tell that he is a great man, which he truly was. A loving son, a respectful and diligent worker. Who would never want a giy like him?"

"Why can't you just say Rex?"

"I can't, and I shouldn't. We share the same father. I should call him as my brother. I hate it, but I have to understand that we can't be," tears from Friean's eye suddenly fell.

Lady Samson hugged her, "Don't be blinded by the norms, My Dear. Follow what you want, follow where your heart beats. Don't settle for the things that others want you to be. Be the Friean that you want to be," and she disappeared.

"Be the Friean I want to be? How could that be so meaningful to me even if it sounds that I will be going against the world? I thought she will bring no good, but here she is helping me to be happy on my ways. I will make sure to make myself worthy and powerful enough to protect and have Rex in arms."

Lady Samson succeed on taking Friean's trust. What is she planning to do?

Ace's Room

"Is this a sabotage?" Ace was talking to Lady Samson.

"Why do you think so?"

"My room is filled with just mirrors and rubbers. What would I practice? Gymnastics? What the hell!"

"You have books there. You already undergone enough. It is your time to just relax and figure out who you really are. Make yourself ready and presentable for your upcoming wedding. I bet your bride loves you because you are talented and good looking."

"I am here to be trained, not to be groomed. Stop making fun of me and refrain from telling me that I will be marrying someone soon. Because I will not leave this country with unfinished business," he smiled at Lady Samson.

"You are getting more interesting," she stand up, "Just make sure that you will finish your business before—"

"Before what?" he looked around and did not see Lady Samson anywhere, "Where the hell are you?"

His scar hurts so much. He noticed that when he left Southeast, his scar continuously hurts and it bleed sometimes. Unlike the past years, his scar is forming a familiar figure. What could this mean?

"I will make myself busy to keep my mind away on how painful this scar is. Its funny that it seems to misbehave nowadays, what do you want, huh? Do you miss Bella's touch? We will soon feel and see her again. We will also see Ama. I just have to finish this faster."

Meta's Room

Everything that is inside her room was broken. She can't still accept the fact that Nica's father was gone and her best friend will get blind without him and her by her side.

"What are these mess, Princess?"

"The mess that you did! Can't you just keep your mouth shut and did not told about that?"

"How can I not tell such an important thing to you. Knowing that it is someone part of your precious countrymen?"

"I came here because my Dad told me that this effin' island is for peace. I was kept for years and all I want to do is to travel outside our nation. But what did you do, huh? Do you think after you told me that, I will just sit and do nothing? I will make sure that, that Northwestern will never leave this island breathing," she smirked.

Lady Samson comes near her, "I want that attitude, Young Lady. Make that anger turn you into the most powerful leader inside this island. That is the only way your best friend will forgive and thank you."

"Peace my ass. I will make sure to make myself the most powerful leader a nation can have. I will prepare myself to destroy Northwest. I will make sure of that."
