(Elder mambang pov)

I was consumed by the demands of taking over the palace, ensuring that the kingdom's affairs were running smoothly and efficiently. But despite the long hours and endless meetings, I always made time for my daughter. I visited her every day, checking on her well-being and making sure that she was comfortable and happy.

Im not seeing lontok's where abouts this past days too as if he vanish in the thin air- well maybe he already goes his journey to the afterlife.

as the days passed, I began to notice that something was amiss. Dayang's tummy wasn't growing bigger, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. I knew that the nobles would be watching her closely, waiting for any sign of weakness or deception.

And sure enough, the whispers began to circulate. Some of the nobles were questioning whether Dayang was really pregnant, or if it was just a ruse to protect her reign. I could feel the doubt and skepticism emanating from them, and I knew that I had to do so

  • The Timawa's Daughter : A Tale of Power and Legacy   chapter 46

    (lontok's pov) I stood beside Alingat, Dayang Kalangitan's mother, at the edge of the Tranquil Lake. Together, we gazed out at the serene waters, where visions of the living played out like a mystical drama. My eyes were fixed on Dayang, my beloved wife when I was still among the living. I watched as she navigated the complexities of her life, facing challenges and making decisions that would shape the future. Memories of our time together flooded my mind, and I felt a pang of longing. I wished I could be by her side, to offer guidance and support. But fate had taken me from her, and now I was confined to this realm, watching over her from afar. Alingat's presence was a comfort, and I was grateful for her company as we watched over Dayang. Together, we saw the visions of Zheng's plans and the danger that lurked in the shadows. I felt a surge of protectiveness, wishing I could shield Dayang from harm. But all I could do was watch, and hope that she would find a way to overcome th

    (third person's pov) As the days passed, the items from the caravan continued to flood the markets, not just in Tondo but in other territories as well. The vendors, unaware of the opium's presence, touted the goods as being of the finest quality, and people eagerly purchased them, drawn in by their allure. In the bustling marketplaces, people would gather around stalls, admiring the fine fabrics, sniffing the spices, and marveling at the intricate craftsmanship of the goods. They would comment on how the fabrics felt softer, the spices smelled more aromatic, and the goods seemed to have a mesmerizing quality to them. As the goods spread from market to market, the effects began to manifest. People would become lethargic, irritable, and dependent on the goods. They would crave more, and the demand would grow. The vendors, oblivious to the cause, would simply note the increased demand and raise their prices, capitalizing on the trend. The impact was subtle at first, but it would

    ( zheng pov) I sat in the dimly lit room, surrounded by my associates, the air thick with the scent of incense and smoke. Kakaitan, the noble from Kumintang, stood before me, his expression a mask of obedience. I smiled, my eyes gleaming with profit as I gazed at him. "The opium is selling well, Kakaitan," I said, my voice low and smooth. "Your... acquisition of the caravan's goods has been most... fortuitous." Kakaitan bowed, his face still expressionless. "I'm glad I could be of service, Zheng. But what of the Dayang of Tondo? Will she not pursue this matter further?" I chuckled, the sound low and menacing. "Let her try. We have taken precautions. The trail will lead nowhere. And even if she discovers our involvement, she will not dare to take action against us." Kakaitan nodded, his eyes flicking to the side, a hint of concern dancing in their depths. "I see. And what of the Lord of Kumintang? Will he not suspect my involvement?" My smile grew wider as I leaned back in

    (lord of Kumintang pov) I stood in the midst of the bustling village, overseeing the preparations for the upcoming festival. The villagers were busy decorating the streets, cooking traditional dishes, and rehearsing the rituals that would honor our ancestors. But despite the excitement and anticipation, I couldn't shake off the feeling of frustration that had been building up inside me. Where was the trade caravan from Tondo? We had an agreement, a binding contract that specified the delivery date and the goods to be exchanged. But day and night, I had waited, and no one had arrived. It was as if they had forgotten about our agreement, or worse, they were trying to make a fool of me. I called for my servant, a loyal man who had been by my side for many years. "Send a message to the Hara of Tondo," I told him, my voice low and even. "Tell her that I will not be treated like a fool. We had an agreement, and they have failed to deliver. If they do not rectify this situation immedia

    (dayang pov) I gently swayed back and forth, cradling my precious Gat Salalila on my shoulder. The soft glow of the afternoon sun streaming through the windows illuminated her tiny features, and I couldn't help but smile at her peaceful slumber. Being a mother was a new experience for me, but every moment with my child was a joy. Just as I was savoring this quiet moment, one of my servants approached me. "Hara, forgive me for interrupting," she said with a bow. "One of the guards wishes to meet with you in your chamber." I nodded, carefully handing Gat Salalila over to the servant. "Take care of her for me," I whispered, ensuring my daughter was secure in the servant's arms. I made my way to my chamber, wondering what the guard could want. Was it something urgent regarding the kingdom's affairs? Or perhaps news from one of our trading partners? As I entered my chamber, I saw the guard waiting for me, his expression serious. "Hara, I apologize for disturbing you," he said, bo

    (Timamanukum pov from the past) I met the timawa woman chosen by the anitos. Her name was Apung, and she was indeed a woman of great kindness and wisdom. Despite her humble status, she possessed a quiet strength and dignity that drew me to her. She indeed a woman who's higher than a noble. I decided to take her as my second wife, hoping that the anitos' blessing would bring prosperity to our kingdom. However, some of the nobles were not pleased with my decision. They saw Apung as a timawa, a commoner, and believed that she was beneath me. They opposed our union, whispering among themselves about the impropriety of a noble ruler marrying a woman of lower status. as for my hara she accept her like her own sister. One day as I'm talking to other Datu at the west, I saw Apung walking along the seaside.looks like She's enjoying the breeze and the sound of the waves.
