quaila

Even though he recognized and expected the speaker, he was still shocked, scared and confused.

"What's with the face?", The speaker asked as he walked forward.

"It's nothing!", He said with a quick smile.

"I just came around to ask how the execution of your plan has been going!", The speaker added.

".....It's in phase dad.", Luca replied after a brief pause.

"What exactly is it?", Palmer asked.

Even though Lord Palmer had Miguel banished, Luca knew how much he loves Miguel. Luca understands that the only reason Miguel was banished was for law and face. He also knows that his father has been suffering an endless torture since Miguel's banish, and feels that it's only a matter of time before he either bends the rule or hide Miguel, so he thought very careful before uttering a word.

"....I asked the guards to capture and take him out of Quaila, and afterwards ordered for one to accompany him!", Luca said innocently; trying to give the impression that Miguel had a guard with him and so was safer.

But the old man could tell something was up.

He knows how painful the heart of a man can be when his lover meets with another man. Especially when they planned not to meet till marriage.

The hatred and anger for the intruder especially in this case where it appears to be forceful, is multiplied.

Miguel and Luca haven't been the best of brothers, so this only makes matters worse.

With these thoughts in mind, the old man had an idea of what his son's agenda was.

"...... I would like to see him before he is thrown out!", He said to Luca.

On hearing this, Luca's face became unmaskably ugly.

"But dad, what about the Quailians?", Luca asked in a concerned manner.

"What about them?", Palmer asked staring at him intently.

"If they find him in the premises after the slated 48hours wouldn't they raise a report to the demons?!", He asked acting concerned, but truly trying to find out the old man's agenda.

"If found, bring him to me!", The old man said and walked out of his room.

Luca was so angry he wanted to scream. Unless he secretly captured Miguel, dealt with him and threw him out, he can't harm him. If he does, the old man would see him wounded and definitely ask questions.

……

Kayla was awakened by the ray of sunlight that went through her veil and touched her face.

Only then did she realize that she was out of Phytillia.

And just like the last time she was abducted, her mouth was stuffed and so she couldn't utter any word but hum.

As soon as Miguel noticed this, he took off the veil from her face and then took out the cloth in her mouth.

The horse's slow down caught the attention of Clark who was on the other horse with the little Claire.

"Where are we?", She asked.

"One of the cities in Quaila where research is done!", He replied as they continued riding on.

At first Kayla was confused but when she looked around, she saw quite a number of people heading in their direction.

"Miguel where are we going?!", She asked panicked to see the the number of persons heading in her direction. Since she didn't know them or what their intentions were, she couldn't scream or call for help either.

"Shhhh!", Miguel hushed as though he too was scared.

She saw this and became even more frightened.

Miguel looked at Clark, winked at him and chuckled quietly.

The scared Kayla began to look around intently.

She eventually noticed that almost all around them had either a defect or an health issue, either that or had someone with one of the problems.

"Wait!", She added now having a thought in her mind and looked forward. Only then did she see the multitude heading to one of the biggest cities in Quaila, Helilia.

"Why are you taking me to Helilia?", She asked with a fearful expression.

"I intend on emptying the pot!", Miguel replied.

When Kayla heard this, her heart beat's pace increased dramatically.

"What do you mean emptying the pot?!", She asked panicked.

"What do you think?!", He added.

"It's not possible..... It's not possible Miguel! They'll kill me!", She subbed.

"How would they?! You are not the first!", He added.

At this point, she could see that Miguel had made up his mind.

"But the baby!", she added.

"Are you that heartless?! Does her life mean nothing to you!", Kayla added with tears in her eyes.

Miguel remained quiet as he looked around if any was paying attention. But they were all minding their own business, consoling and supporting themselves, too busy with their own problems to care about anything else.

"Please Miguel don't do this, don't let them take out this baby!", Kayla further cried.
