Everyone watched as Diana and Emy faced off with chess. They all knew that Diana was good in this game. But they were expecting that this girl would somehow give her some sweat. Napailing na lang ang karamihan while they were thinking that this girl was just making a fool of herself. However, not all of them were thinking the same. For example, Franco had never seen Emy played chess before but he knew that she wouldn't just let anyone beat her this badly. He knew that for a fact because he witnessed her tenaciousness before. Kaya naman kahit na naririnig na niya ang mga sinasabi ng mga tao sa paligid ay kalmado lang siya na nakaupo doon at nanonood. Isa pa na kagaya ni Franco ay ang lalaking nakaupo sa itaas ng puno. He hated socializing that much lalo sa mga tao ng Grey City kaya naman he preferred to stay kung saan walang masyadong tao. But he made sure na sa pwesto niya ay map

Nagstay pa ng ilang araw si Grace para maituro ang mga dapat niyang ituro kay Anika. Gusto niyang masigurado na sa pag-alis niya ay may gagawa pa rin sa ng mga gawain niya para kay Emy.Mabilis namang matuto si Anika kaya kampante siya dito.Hanggang sa dumating na ang panahon ng pag-alis niya. Ikinalungkot ito nang tatlo pero wala naman silang magagawa. They could just hope that she found new life in Royal City.***The next day...Dahil wala namang pasok ay nagpaalam na si Emy na maglilibot libot sa bayan. Pinayagan naman siya ni Feng. Mabuti na lang at wala sila Franco dahil malamang ay mangungulit iyon na sumama.Sinama niya sila Lia at Veronica dahil busy si Anika sa pag-aaral nung make-up guide na ginawa ni Grace bago umalis.However, hindi sila magpupunta sa bayan para mamasyal. They would visit the Purple Boutique."Young lady!" Gulat na sabi ni Harley ng makita niya ang dalaga na pumasok sa boutique kasunod sila Lia at

When Sebastian went back to the palace, agad siyang sinabon ni Vio tungkol sa "pagkakatakas" nung nakaputing maskara. Simple siya nitong ipinihiya sa harap ng kanilang ama at mga tauhan nito.Hindi naman nakakapagtaka iyon dahil bukod sa nabulilyaso na naman ang plano nila ay nagkaharap pa silang dalawa kanina. Kaya malamang ang init ng dugo nito sa kanya."Your priority should be the command of the Emperor before your role as the President of Supreme.""My priority must be the most pressing one at the moment. And that is to suppress the Black Council members who were causing chaos around the campus."The Royal Guards have seen it too. The casualties made by the Black Council members were too much. Are you saying, Vio, that I should have turned a blind eye on them and instead pursued the White Masked person who did nothing but to defend the students against the Black Council?"Do you really think that if I do that, the parents of those injured and

Nahihiwagaan na talaga si Franco sa pagbabago bago ng mood ni Emy. Parang last week lang iritado ito ng ilang araw. Pagkatapos ay bumalik na ulit siya sa dati. Tapos ngayon ay nakakunot noo na naman ito. Pero sa kanya lang. Kapag sila Feng at Franco ang kausap nito ay ang bait niya. Pagdating sa kanya ay nakabusangot ito. Napailing na lang siya sa sarili niya. He could really never understand girls. After na magdinner ay pumasok na agad si Emy sa kwarto niya. Lia just brought her tea and cookies like the usual dahil hindi niya alam kung kelan maiisipan ng dalaga ang magpuyat. After that ay dinismiss na niya ang tatlo. Ni hindi na nga rin siya nagpatulong sa pagpapalit. The reason why she was irritated was because she couldn’t find a way of ridding the Fifth Prince. He infiltrated her Purple Boutique and now, he was eavesdropping about her plans.

Diana was not pleased lately sa itinatakbo ng mga pangyayari between the Black Council and that White Queen. She could not take it. It was like having Samantha back. She remembered back then that it was the lady whom people called first as the White Queen. The foolish girl opposed the Black Council even during her very own regime. When Diana exposed her, akala niya ay siya agad ang papalit dito. But that Marco got in her way. She smiled bitterly as she remembered how she killed both of them. Yes. She had once killed a White Queen before. How could she not kill a second one now? But she couldn’t move freely at the moment. The people were still after them. In Grey Academy, the priority was to caught as many members of the council as they could kahit pa nga may secret decree ang Emperor to catch that White Queen. Natuto na ring lumaban ang ilang estudyante sa kanila. And as if
