TWISTED FATE OF THE KNIGHT

Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Hunting Event Part 3

"It's just I am thankful for inviting me," I said while smiling at them bago ko ipinagpatuloy ang kumain.

"Did you never eat with Lady Miary?" Prince Renz asks me as he puts down his plate.

"I am eating with them." Nahihiyang sabi ko dahil nakatingin sila sakin dahil hindi agad ako sumagot agad. I feel like they are interrogating me right now.

"Hmm." ang naging sagot ni Prince Renz while Kerz and Dravis just looked at each other as if they are talking through telepathy as they both nodding so I was wondering what was that.

Tahimik lang kaming kumain pagkatapos ng pag uusap namin at nagvolunteer ako na ang bahala sa pinagkainan namin kahit na sinabi ni Kerz na huwag na but I insists since they already cooked the dinner a while ago so I said that I'll do it. Wala siyang nagawa dahil sa pagpupumilit ko na ako na ang maghuhugas ng pinagkainan namin at magpahinga na din sila. Pumasok naman na si Prince Renz sa kanyang camp pagkatapos naming kumain while Dravis went to the other side where I put my things at si Kerz naman ay inaayos ang pinaglutuan kanina at sabi kong isunod nalang niya sa ilog. Nauna na akong pumunta sa ilog at sinimulang maghugas ng plato. Bigla naman akong nilamig dahil lalong lumamig ang tubig at hindi pa ako nakadoble ng damit kaya ramdam na ramdam ko ang lamig kasabay ng malamig na simoy na hangin so I really feel chilly but I can't go back to wear my vest since it will takes time and nakakatamad bumalik balik dito.

Kaya binilisan ko nalang ang paghugas para hindi ako lalong mababad sa lamig at saktong tapos na ako sa mga plato ay dumating si Kerz dala ang mga pinaglutuan nila kanina. Ibinaba naman ni Kerz sa tabi ko ang mga hugasin at tinanong niya pa ako kung kailangan ko ng tulong pero sinabi kong hindi na dahil konti lang naman kaya pinauna ko nalang ang nahugasan kong plato. He just said okay and I suddenly sneeze because of the cold breeze and cold water when he is about to go back so he said if I'm okay and I said yes while wiping my nose. I was surprised when he sat down beside me, and he washes the things he brought a while ago but I grab them as I told him that I can do it. However, he didn't let go kaya parang nag aagawan kami habang nakatingin ako sa kanya ng seryoso at ganun din siya na parang may kuryente sa mga tingin namin.

"It's okay, Sir Kerz. I am okay." I said while smiling at him but I am annoyed because he doesn't want to let go. 

"Let me help you para mas mabilis na matapos since it's really getting cold here." He said to me and he also smiles at me. 

"No, thanks Sir Kerz. I can manage so go back and have a rest." I said habang pilit paring inaagaw ang pinaglutuan nila kanina. 

"You should the one who needs to retire for the night since you will be real exhausted for tomorrow because it will be tougher than today." He said sabay tangal ng mga kamay ko sa kaldero kaya naman napaatras ako at natumba. Buti nalang hindi ako natumba sa may tubig kung hindi nabasa nanaman ako.

"See. You really need to go and rest for tomorrow." He said while washing the dishes.

"Sinadya mo yon noh!" sabi ko sa kanya pagkatapos kong tumayo dahil sa pagkakatumba ko.

"Nope. Why would I do that?" he said to me while still finishing the dishes.

"Really?" I said while looking at him intently.

"Yes, so let's go since I'm done washing the dishes." He said as he handed me what I've washed a while ago.

"You're fast hm," I commented sabay talikod at naglakad na.
