Chapter 09: Beatrice's Tea Party
Sophia's POV
I am now on my way to the residence of Marquess Philip. These past few days, I have been having second thoughts if I should go or just ditch the occasion. But the problem is, I already sent a response of acceptance—on the same day when I received the invitation.
I heavily sighed. Ayoko namang ipahiya ang pangalang dala-dala ko. Naalala ko ring hindi nga pala ako aarteng kontrabida katulad ng nasa kwento. Magpapakabuting nilalang ako at hindi papadala sa emosyon.
Nang huminto ang sinasakyan ko sa tapat ng entrance ng Philip Household, agad akong pinapasok ng guard no'ng ma-identify nito ang invitation ko.
"Welcome, Lady Elizabeth," salubong sa 'kin ng butler nang makababa ako sa karwahe.
"Lead the way," I said.
Yumuko ito bilang pagsang-ayon saka siya umuna ng paglakad patungo sa lugar kung saan ang tea party. Huminto kami sa greenhouse,

Sophia's POV The moment na na-open ang topic regarding sa 'min Lawrence, sakto rin ang pagdating niya rito sa garden. Hindi siya napansin ng mga kasama ko, naramdaman ko naman ang presensya niya. Imbes na ipagpatuloy nito ang kaniyang paglapit, huminto muna siya para makinig sa usapan. Ang event na 'to ay part ng plot sa novel. I agreed to attend here hindi lang para linisin ang imahe ko, kundi para masaksihan kung sumusunod pa rin ba sa progreso ang story—kahit na nangielam ako. Ang nagpatibay sa konklusyon ko ay ang pagpunta ng Crown Prince dito. Elizabeth poured a cup of tea into her dress. She pushed Beatrice down then pulled her hair. While Elizabeth was constantly tormenting Beatrice, the Crown Prince appeared to save his lover. He came uninvited after knowing that Elizabeth is present at the tea party... That's how it was presumed to happen but I did not play the simila

Sophia's POV "Lady Elizabeth, wake up." Rinig kong boses ni Melrose. I groaned then shift my position. Ano na naman ba ang mayro'n para guluhin niya ang tulog ko? "Please, Lady Elizabeth! You have to," pagmamakaawa niya sa 'kin. Pinilit kong buksan ang mga mata ko. Ilang oras pa lang ba ako nakakatulog? Kumikirot pa ang ulo ko. Nagpuyat ako kagabi kaiisip sa nangyari kahapon kila Beatrice. "What's with the ruckus outside, Melrose?" "The Duke announced the early return of young masters." Hindi na ako nakaramdam ng surpresa, I expected them to be back sooner. Nag-apply silang pareho ng early graduation para magampanan na 'yong pinaghandaan nila ng ilang taon. "How about the kids?" I asked her while she was removing my pajamas. "They are already preparing themselves." "I see."
Ways To Escape Death Chapter 12: Family Gathering
Sophia's POV "Franco, the recruitment for Imperial Knights will be held on the day after the Crown Prince's birthday celebration," the Duke initiated the conversation. "Yes, Father. I will keep that in mind," Francisco replied. I am sitting between the twin siblings, while the Duke is in front of us. Sina Felixander at Francisco naman ay nasa magkabilang gilid lang ng table. "What are your plans, Felix?" Duke White asked his eldest son, Felixander. "I'm not changing my mind, Father. Please postpone my succession to the duchy," he answered calmly before taking a sip on his cup of tea. Duke White heave a sighed. Makikita sa kaniyang mukha na tutol ito sa sagot ng anak. Felix chuckled. "Why are you in a rush? You're still alive and kicking well, Father," pagbibiro nito. "You brat, I want to live my remaining years for
Ways To Escape Death Chapter 13: Triggered
Sophia's POV Hindi ko expect na mahirap palang mag-mountain climbing. Dagdag pa ang sobrang lamig ng paligid. Bumabaon ang bawat yapak ko sa yelo. Tapos ang lakas pa ng loob kong mag-offer na pumunta kaagad dito. Tinanaw ko ang likuran ni Francisco. Ang layo ng agwat niya sa 'kin, hindi man lang ako hinintay. I was surprised nang sabihin niyang hindi niya raw kailangan ng ilang araw na pahinga bago ako samahan. Hindi siya nagreklamo sa Duke, he just immediately followed the given order. He likes overworking himself, hindi yata uso ang pagod sa kaniya. "Wala ka na bang mas ibabagal pa?" he coldly asked while looking in my direction. Masama ang tingin nito sa 'kin habang kunot ang noo. "Don't compare my legs to yours," I sarcastically replied. Tinalikuran niya lang ako saka sinimulan ulit ang paglalakad. Napansin ko ang pagbagal ng mg
Ways To Escape Death Chapter 14: Awakening
Sophia's POV I woke up not feeling well. Masakit ang buo kong katawan habang kumikirot naman ng matindi ang ulo ko. Naupo ako saka sinandal ang aking likuran sa headboard ng kama. "Lady Elizabeth?" I look at the person who just came in. She's staring at me while covering her mouth. Then, she immediately left my room for no reason. What's with Melrose? Later on, she came back with the Duke. I notice the worry in their eyes. What's going on? "Sister Elizabeth." The twins entered my room. Madali silang umakyat sa aking higaan para yakapin ako. "How are you?" Duke White asked. Melrose excused herself to give us privacy. "I'm fine? What's happening?" "You passed out," Francisco responded habang nakasandal sa entrance ng pinto. Hindi ko napansin ang pagdating niya. Af
Ways To Escape Death Chapter 15: Dark Priestess
Sophia's POV A big portrait of a lady, welcomed us inside the room, with ebony black wavy hair, her eyes are covered with a golden mask, she is wearing a bright gold crown around her head, her gown is like a starry night sky with stars. I think she was the previous Dark Priestess. I look around to check the surroundings. It's a room with a bed and a cabinet. The types of furniture are too old, they can already be considered as antiques. There are books piled up on the table, a quill pen, and an envelope. Lumapit ako roon para tingnan ang laman ng envelope. I realized It was a letter. Dumating man ang panahong mabasa mo ito, isa lamang ang ibig sabihin nito. Ako ay nagbalik muli sa lugar na pinaghirapan kong lisanin. Ngunit batid kong wala akong maaalala sa nakaraan, na siyang pinagpapasalamat ko. Mabasa mo man ang aking talaarawan, hindi mo mararamdaman ang pait at kalungkutan na s
Ways To Escape Death Chapter 16: White Family
Sophia's POV Each of the family awakened their power. Duke White and Felixander gained the ability called Observation Qi. It grants the user a sixth sense that allows them to sense the presence, strength, and emotions of others, as well as gain limited precognitive abilities. They can easily observe people and hear their conversations around the area. Wala pa nga lang akong idea kung hanggang saan ang kaya nilang masakop. Francisco gained the ability called Hardening Qi, it allows the user to use their spiritual energy to create, in essence, providing incredible offensive and defensive capabilities. And luckily, from the artifact I swallowed, as expected I got the skill of Invisible Armor. The additional skill is called Future Sight, it gives the ability to look ahead into the future. Malaking tulong sa 'kin ang future sight lalo na kapag haharap ako sa delikadong sitwasyon. Maaari akong
Ways To Escape Death Chapter 17: Nightmare
Sophia's POV LAWRENCE commanded to have me publicly executed. Wala akong ibang marinig kundi ang malakas na sigaw ng mga tao na parusahan ako. Makikita sa mga mata nila ang mababang tingin nila sa 'kin. Habang tahimik kong pinapakinggan ang paligid, hindi ko maiwasang mapaluha habang nakatitig sa lalaking minamahal ko. Kahit hindi ko isigaw ang hinaing ko, mababasa naman sa ekspresyon ko ang pagmamakaawa. The Royal Guards drag me in front of the Crown Prince. Pinaluhod nila ako sa harapan nito. "You can say your last words, Elizabeth," Lawrence said while looking down at me. "Why...I must suffer like this?" I mumbled without taking a glance at him. "Are you seriously asking me that? You deserve to pay the price for all the crimes you committed." A tear fell from my eyes. "My only sin is loving you more than myself." Madali siyang lu
