THE LEGENDS OF SWORD AND SHIELD

CHAPTER SEVEN

Chapter 7

Napangiti ako nang malawak habang kumakain ng mga pagkain. Lahat ay mga karne.

"Where's brother Tyrant? I'm full, all thanks to him."

"He's inside his library young master Yen." sagot ni Molly.

"Anong nangyari sa kanya? Kanina lang gusto niya akong paglutuin sa kusina eh!"

Nagtaka ako nang patagong tumawa si brother Molly.

"Why are you laughing? Is there something funny sa sinabi ko? Hehe?"

Umiling ito na halata namang pinipigilang huwag matawa. Kinuha ko ang chopsticks at sumubo nalang.

"I saw what exactly happened outside of the kitchen earlier."

"Yeah that daredevil young master of yours wants me to cook for myself? Does your master wants me to poison myself?!" reklamo ko na puno ang bibig.

"Actually young master Piarch order the head chef to cook foods for you. He says you can only eat inside the kitchen peacefully since only the servants are allowed to go in."

Nalunok ko ng buo ang karne inabutan naman ako ng tubig ni brother Molly.

"E-eat slowly young master."

"The heck? Why is he giving me a special treatment? Is your master gay?" I said while shivering.

I don't know how to approach him and say I'm not into gay. It's very weird and awkward right? I treat him as my brother but why that fine handsome man is a gay? Impossible!

"Impossible... Young master Piarch is straight man. He does not want to  treat someone like you since then, maybe he wants you to be his friend? You are the only one who can get closer to him."

"Yeah I do think the same thing. It's impossible for him to be gay, otherwise he'll die in his father hands hahaha!"

"No one really dare to be his friend because they are all frightened by his domineering aura."

"Why frightened? It's interesting instead. By the way, do you know how to help me in order to pay his kindness?"

"Uhmm young master wants to drink newly brewed tea."

Napalunok ako dahil mahilig din ako uminom ng tsaa pero hindi ako marunong gumawa.

"I can accompany you to the tea leaves garden, it's at the back of the hills near the fallen water."

"I really don't like to owe someone but I don't know how to brew a tea. Hindi niya naman sigurong iisiping lalasunin ko siya no? It's good to try some skills too."

Pareho kaming napatawa wala na kaming ginawa kundi ang magtawanan at magbiruan hanggang sa natapos na kaming kumain at napagisipang magtungo sa back hill para pumitas ng mga dahon ng tsaa.

Medyo may kalayuan din ang tea leaves garden. Masyadong malawak at malulusog ang mga pananim. Marami pang mga halamang nakatanim sa buong palibot. I've never saw something like this before, may mga panamim naman kami kaso ni minsan ay hindi ako nagkainteres na pumunta sa mga gardens.

"So what's the first step?" I asked Molly.

"Let's get some basket, remember not to touch anything without my consent okay? Everything has spells in order to maintain the plants healths."

"Ang oa naman, as if naman may papasok sa territory ninyo."

"Headmaster really weird sometimes but we understand him. There's an incident happened here 24 years ago and it's the most unforgettable moments of them. I don't know what exactly happened back then. Sovereignty mount has a lots of weird rules like for examples every food it must have inspected well, no one can enter the kitchen except for those trusted servants and chefs and actually you're not supposed to be here because you are an outsider."
