(Hadar POV)
I changed my clothes from my aristocratic attire to a black barong Tagalog suit.
Why black and Asian clothes? Because I loved it. It reminded me of the cultural past, my origin, and my birthplace.
'Man, I'm so excited. I cannot wait to see their faces,' I said with a mug face.
I wished for action and this was unexpectedly happening behind my back. I won't let this moment slide.
Thirty years of peace was nothing. I wanted something new in my entire life. And this time, it was something good that could be used as a future reference of my villany.
The whole armed forces came in upon I stepped down on the stairs. I checked his emblem and I found the HSP sign.
'Hmm, my personal secret police? What the hell are they doing here? Did I call for a backup? Wait for a second, who sent them in?' I asked, rubbing my jaw.
The HSP or also know as Hadar Secret Police was my personal secret service under my command. Unlike the HIA, they were an organized group with a single purpose - to serve and protect me within the shadow.
I didn't trust any organization except them. Why? Because they were all recruited personally by me.
I created them because I loved secret agents who were working for the monarchy, though.
"Milord, the ground forces are ready," Cassandra knelt down as she informed it directly.
'So, it's you, fuckin' meddler!'
"Milord, we're ready to dispatch the SWAT team. Like what you asked, I didn't inform Lady Leona and Sir Francis about your intervention," she said respectfully.
I kept my mouth shut and wished to kill her on the spot because of her stupidity.
"You know I hate people who often meddle in my business, Cassandra. Do you think that person deserves to live after all he did?" I pointed my index at her forehead. "Yes, milord," she raised up her head with a determined gaze.
Her face didn't show any malice and her words expressed her true thoughts inside her heart.
I blinked my eyes several times before I could speak.
'What the hell is wrong with this woman? I'm talking about her life,' I placed a hand on my forehead and looked at her with a disappointing gaze.
"Man, I cannot believe you. I wonder why you're still lurking around here. The person who personally recruited you must be an idiot," I sighed.
"Oh, milord. Please stop jokin' around at this moment," Cassandra giggled. "Oi, I'm always serious. To tell you the truth, I hate people who don't easily follow my strict instruction," I corrected.
Cassandra lowered her head upon hearing it. Her lips pursed with a cold sweat.
'Good grief. Finally, she understands it,' I heaved a sigh of relief.
"Lord Hadar, please be careful out there, okay. You're only thirty years old with a bright future. All of us including the staff love you so much. We won't tolerate the people who will destroy the world for their own greed," she professed.
My lips curved with a bright face.
'What a stupid woman? I won't believe your words. I learned my lesson during my past life. No one truly loves me except my money, power, and influence. Of course, Francis and Leona are exceptional. They are the true people that I won't ever let anyone kill or hurt. Why? Because they are my family. True family,' I simpered.
"Well, well done. But those words should be used properly in the future," I declared. "Y, yes, milord. I will," Cassandra promised, placing her hand on her chest respectfully.
"Anyway, where's my car?" I asked with a harsh tone. "It is in the front of the mansion, milord," she answered.
I walked outside and the armed forces greeted me with their weapons, trucks, and tanks on the ground. Up the sky, there were three Apache helicopters, a Crocodile Russian-copied version tank, and rhinoceros Philippine secret weaponry developed during the Duterte Era.
'Man, I'm very thankful that I won't be sued for copyright content by those nations,' I simpered.
"Sir, the whole battalion is ready on your command," the commander saluted. "Good, then, move according to the Order of Hadar," I commanded.
All of them saluted before they went to their designated vehicles.
What was the Order of Hadar? It's a simple order of my Hadar decree.
'It means, you can do what pleases you all but don't get in my way,' I declared.
"This is the Commander of the Hadar Secret Police speaking. Attention all units. HSP will take command. Lord Hadar initiate the Order of Hadar. All of the hostile enemies who will point the guns at his majesty shall perish without question. The excellency wants a result and no one shall give them an opportunity to reconcile. Understand, HSP?" the commander spoke with a loud voice. "Sir, yes, sir!" all of the units responded like Spartans under Leonidas.
I entered the prepared limousine and Cassandra followed suit.
"What the hell? So loud," I tucked my fingers on my ears on both sides. "I'm sorry, milord. I will close the window," she apologized.
I leaned my back on the smooth backseat and closed my eyes.
"As expected to Lord Hadar, you're really preparing yourself for the upcoming fight, huh. This Cassandra here will truly ―"
"Shut up," I ordered.
"Yes, milord," she shut her mouth immediately.
I raised a finger on my hand and pointed to the monitor in front of us.
"I will open it now, milord," she picked up the remote next to her and pressed the open button. Then, the monitor switched on.
"Lame, so lame. There's no news about the situation, huh. What useless media. I'm going to cut their budget in the next approbation," I muttered.
Cassandra quickly changed the channel and looked for some real news, but to no avail.
"You can stop it now. There's no way they will show it up," I stole the remote and shut down the monitor.
Cassandra sat down properly and fixed her outfit neatly. Her perplexed face worried me. Why? Because she might be thinking I would assault her and violated her rights.
This situation reminded me of the past when my former wife accused me of rape.
I tossed away the remote and closed my eyes. Then, I folded my arms across my chest with lips pursed.
"L, lord Hadar?" Cassandra worried, slowly getting close to my side. "Shut your goddamn mouth and don't come any closer. I don't like people who violate my personal space," I declared.
Cassandra returned to her sit on the side with a smiling face.
"That's my Lord Hadar. Always strict to himself," she giggled.
'What the hell is wrong with this woman really? Next time, I will call my personal psychiatrist to check her mental health.'
(Cassandra POV)
Thirty-one minutes before the salutation to their master.
"Lord Hadar called us all, HSP team. Our master has finally summoned us for a mission. That mission is to eliminate a threat to this world, people. This is our opportunity to show the result of our sweat and blood. To secure the future of the next generation and protect our master from a potential threat. Now, if you please, I will call the Director to discuss the situation," the commander spoke out.
He opened the monitor and contacted the person who was their commanding officer.
A young maid with blonde hair appeared. That was me.
"Commander, is everything ready?" I asked with a sinister gaze. "Yes, madam. We're ready," the commander saluted.
All of the troops greeted me a salute.
"As you were, people. I know some of you don't know who I am. But I will speak to the point. I'm Cassandra, the appointed Director of the Secret Service or we often called secret police by Lord Hadar. This is the HSP anniversary and I'm happy to tell to all of you that we're given free access to get involved in this crisis. Lady Leona, the future wife of our Lord Hadar, went into the trouble to gather the information together with Sir Francis. And this, this moment made our master so furious," I delivered a short speech and everyone gasped.
"Lord Hadar created us for a simple purpose. To eliminate the threat within our society. He used the code to summon us. 'I'm going to join the party' he said. That means, he wanted the HSP to intervene right here and right now. We shall prove ourselves in front of our master. We shall murder the people who wanted to destroy the peace. We are the first and foremost. The one who shall devour the evil within the society together with the HIA."
Everyone stood still with a determined face.
"I am not good at delivering a simple speech, but I will you people. We're the only one, the first organization developed personally by Lord Hadar. If the HIA is his honorable place to trust, then we are his shadow within the dark realm of reality. People of the HSP. Join us to massacre the threat. Kill the evil and prove to the world what we are capable of. We are the few, the proud, the HSP!"
"""BOOHAA!""" the crowd responded in unison.
'Lord Hadar won't even dare to make a mistake. If he knows there is a mole within the HIA, then we will respond immediately. He doesn't want to inform the others because he knows the enemy will run away. Before it's too late, he will go there personally to confront the culprit. I cannot wait to see it in front of my eyes. I want to see how he will fight them head on.'
Everyone believed our master had a power. A unique skill no one ever possessed. We wished to show the world how mighty he was.
