Chapter Forty-Seven I was stunned, shock, and speechless. My hands started trembling after seeing the Royal Crest. My hearts is going crazy because of nervousness, and my stomach is churning up. I might puke because of my tense nerves. Damn. How could I forgot about this!? • ‘What’s wrong?…’ I heard Droon’s voice echoed inside my head. He’s tone was filled with confusion and a little worry. I gradually calm down, I forgot that Droon might feel my emotions if it’s not restrained. I took a deep breath, and sigh. I was so relax and busy that I forgot this very important matter. Akala ko chismis lang! I drop the invitation like it was made of hotpot and curses, I put them back without reading the content inside. The envelop has two letters on it, one is the invitation letter, and one small scroll with the royal stamp on it. I will read first the letter from the House Edwards. At least it won’t be that dangerous and doesn’t contain curses. Curses that might kill me one day, the r
Chapter Forty-Eight He pick up his cutlery and continue eating with a frown on his face. Then I glared at him, he choke on his food for a second before sitting up straight, his face was painted on a light shade of red, he then gave me a questioning gaze. A gaze saying, ‘What? I didn’t do anything.’ “Then, why are you deliberately showing your displease and pretend sadness? Your even frowning,” I chided and simply continue to sip my tea. Kaiden gasped and look at me like I broke his heart. “Señorita, that’s because it’s unfair!” he pouted and aggressively bite his steak. Unfair? What is he talking about!? “It’s very unfair, all of you would leave me behind. Lahat kaayo mag babakasyon tapos ako nandito lang, waiting to rot and be roasted by Sir James and Mr. Fernando,” he was sweeping and being dramatic again. But I could help but giggled, it was actually funny. “Señorita, you can laugh. There’s no need to suppress your amusement,” he grumbled and slice his steak. My lips cur
Chapter Forty-Nine. The green eyes thief, Zen, glared at me. He was about to open his mouth I grabbed my parasol and aim it straight towards him. “Don’t say a word. I didn’t permit you to talk,” I coldly added, pressing the end of the parasol in his neck. “Say a word, and I’ll cut your neck.” I threaten indifferently, and lifted his chin using the tip of my umbrella. Zen, gritted his teeth and chewed his lips. He didn’t say a word and tightly held the child and glared at me. Everyone, was silent once again. Even the mother who was crying and begging, ate and swallowed her voice, whimpers, and tears. I dropped my parasol and immediately Rita took it and opened for me. The whole scene and place turned into a graveyard and a cemetery. The unusual silence for a buzzing plaza and driveway. The silence was only broken when, my coachman and a doctor was running towards our direction. “Milady, the doctor you instructed is here,” the man informed with heavy breath from running. I loo
Chapter Fifty. "Are you not satisfied with the food milady?" asked Rita in a worried tone and concern. I shook my head and smiled. "It's not like that Rita, you don't need to worry about it. I'm just a bit tired," I explained in a gentle tone. But the truth is, I'm starting feel the food is pretty bland and repetitive. They always serve they same theme, steak, lamb, bread, and wine. The cook I had now was not very impressive. The cook always provided the same food. Wala silang isda or karne ng baboy! Not even a chickens! I’m used on eating lambs and beef, especially bread in every single meal! Wala silang rice dito, or I mean they don’t serve rice in here! They don’t even serve water that much when eating, always tea, wine, or champagne. As a 21st century girl, I long for many dishes. I miss the Filipino cuisines and the fast foods! Now, I'm being ungrateful and picky here. I could help but sigh on how this lifestyle made me realize how much I used to care, and how different
Morning have finally arrived. I am now standing outside looking at busy the Manor. I saw a lot of maids working and running around. I can also see Rita checking everything from the suit cases, utensils, foods, and essentials. Sa pagkaka-alam ko ay we would be traveling and would camp in the mountain for 3 days, until we get on the nearest village for a stop and rest. We will then continue until we reach the House Edwards’ territory. I’m pretty excited to see what’s on the southeast region of Avalor Kingdom. I’m pretty curious about Lady Marina’s hometown. I slowly walked through the carriage na kakaiba ang ekspresyon. I blankly stared at the piece of object in front of, ako’y naka tanga lamang habang nakatayo sa harap ng karwahe na maghahatid saakin. That’s not a freaking carriage! That’s a mini van!!! I screamed in my heart. The carriage design looks like between a carriage and car! It has freaking six big wheels! Parang ang design nito ay yung nakikita ko sa mga video abo
Chapter Fifty-Two. A vortex of shadow and darkness formed on the ground under my two hands. It suddenly spread on and rose from the depths. A dome made of darkness and shadow was formed, shielding everyone inside. It was a large area of effect shield that I have learned and practice. I just twisted some of the incantation spell to fully bring the element darkness. Everyone was shocked and was stunned when they were covered in darkness and shadow. And it’s because that my control wasn’t that precise, the shield isn’t tempered. You can see from the inside what was happening outside the dome, it was somewhat transparent and not tinted. All of them saw hundreds of arrows that was either stuck on the dome, or bounce out and fell from the impact. Their mouth was hang open and gulped a mouthful of saliva before looking at my direction. “Tsk.” I heard a click of tongue coming from the Bandit leader. I glared at him and look around the dome. When I still saw them looking at in astoni
Chapter Fifty-Three. The weather in the second half of the Month of Fire (July) was already very hot. Patuloy na tumutulo ang mga butil ng pawis sa mukha ni Zen habang binabantayan niya ang bawat panig ng coach. Not to mention Vice Captain and the knight troupes, na basang-basa ang shirt sa loob ng armor. Vice Captain Illiad, walking ahead of the coach, had already driven away several beasts rushing down from the mountains. We didn’t encounter any bandits on the way, only some creatures. Ito ay malinaw na responsibilidad niya bilang isang bantay, but the fact that he beat off the vicious beasts without startling the horses definitely impressed me Inside of the coach, since I kept my eyes closed all the time, and Rita was not talkative at all, so as Droon who had no one to talk to the trip went very quite. I’m not that nervous nor scared after what happened. Surprisingly, I’m very calm and is analyzing the bandits intention. Lalo akong nagulat sa sarili ko, na hindi ako nanginginig
Chapter Fifty-Four. I stared at the kid in front of me, who was looking at me with doe eyes. Doon ko lang napansin na hindi na niya suot ang kanyang pilak na baluti, instead his wearing his ordinary knight uniform. I cannot see any bruises nor bandages around him. That only means he was skilled enough to avoid or kill his enemies. I’m also relief seeing him unharmed, for pete’s sake that’s twelve-year old kid! My conscience won’t be able to take it. I might feel a little bit guilty for Zen dahil sa unexpected ambush ng mga bandito, but he’s an adult. Kaya na niya sarili, hindi na siya bata. And I have deep affection on this character. Aside from Lord Ethan and Gina who was the main character, this is the third person I knew who was part of the novel. It made me slightly relax and breathe a sigh of relief. Staying in this world almost made me lost in time and comfort. I even caught myself doubting if I was really in the book. I almost got scared because of the unknown but thanks
