YUMIKO

I woke up from a loud banging on my bedroom door. Sumulyap ako sa oras at nakitang alas tres pa lang ng madaling araw. What do they want at this ungodly hour?

I am on my nighties so I just grabbed my silk robbed and just put it on. I am so freakin' sleepy that I can't even tie it around my waist so I just left it as it is. I think I'm still half-asleep when I opened the door. I can't even open my damn eyes properly! I was so tired playing around yesterday.

"What do you want? Damn, Takashi. I am so sleepy." naiinis na sabi ko habang pinipilit pa ring imulat ang mata ko

"Takashi? Kono hito wa ittai daredesu ka?!" an angry voice completely woken me up

Tiningala ko ang matangkad na taong sumira sa tulog ko. I can't see his face properly because of the dim lights in the hall way. But I can feel his piercing gaze at me.

"Anatahadare?!" tanong nitong muli sa galit na boses

This person is unfamiliar to me. I can't even recognize his voice!

He suddenly drew a dagger and I'm glad I was fast on my reflexes. I jumped backwards and quickly took my gun and pointed it at him.

"Kusō!"

"Who the hell are you?! Ugh! Where the hell is Takashi?!" galit na ani ko sa kanya

"Why the hell are you looking for the emperor's aide?!" he angrily asked me

Mukhang napansin nito na hindi ako nagsasalita ng nihonggo dahil nag-english ito. His accent is natural and it sounds like he actually went abroad to study.

Naalala ko bigla ang alarm na nasa kwarto ko kaya habang distracted siya ay agad kong inabot iyon. The alarm went off and it only took a second before I hear heavy footsteps coming towards my room.

"Kuso! What did you do?!" galit na tanong nitong muli

Wala pang isang minuto ay nagliwanag ang buong paligid at kasama na doon ang kwarto ko. There are knights outside my room and even at the window. They're all armed and they're pointing it at the man. Ngayon ko lang nakita ang mukha nito. He has a striking features and especially his perfect jaw that's clenching right now. He have a familiar face for some reason but I am sure that I haven't seen him before.

"Hime-sama! Are you alright?!" humahangos si Takashi na lumapit sa akin at agad na tinignan ang katawan ko

Agad siyang lumayo at nag-iwas ng tingin nang mapansin niya ang suot kong nighties. A maid suddenly came out of nowhere and covered my body with a blanket.

"Taka...shi?" the intruder muttered confusedly

I saw how Takashi's face became paled. Mabilis din niyang sinenyasan ang mga knights na ibaba ang mga dala nila. Then, he turned around to face the man and gave a deep bow. The people around gasped and so did I. There's only two person who I haven't met, the empress and the crown prince.

"Kono shimo be o yurushitekudasai, denka."

Takashi asked for forgiveness and called him 'your highness'. That means he's really the crown prince!

It was like a cue and all the people in the room kneeled down to greet him. But that excludes me. Wait, should I bow to him? He's the crown prince, right?

Tito Kazu told me not to bow to him or to anyone. But I think I really need to bow to him. He's the crown prince after all. I was about to give a bow when Takashi stopped me from doing so.
