Unravelling Fate

06: Change of Plans

chapter six
change of plans

—

I THOUGHT by now, I wouldn't be alive anymore. I was hoping that when Kallisto decided to kill me, I'd go back to my world, but things never went to any of my expectations. Parang hindi nangyari 'yong pagkikita namin ni Kallisto no'ng nakaraan. It had been two days since, and there was no word from him.

Kaya ayon, kahit papaano humaba 'yong buhay ko nang hindi ko inaasahan. Things remained the same, so I acted the same. I still greet and say little things to the maids that went in and out of here.

I tried extracting some information from stepmother about Kallisto, but of course, she remained cold-hearted to me. Para tuloy siyang robot kapag kaharap ako. I actually felt so lost in some way.

The people who transmigrated in different novels that I read had a lot of progress already by now. But I couldn't seem to be like them at all. Truthfully, I felt dumb. I know that I wasn't really an intelligent person, but right now, I felt like I was the dumbest person to ever transmigrate.

Feeling ko talaga nasa akin na 'yong medalya. Kainis, hindi naman 'yon 'yong medal na gusto ko. Hmp! Choosy pa ba? Bilang na nga natitirang mga araw ko.

"Hmmngh!" Napalingon ako kay Yule no'ng marinig ko ang mahinang ungot nito. I just pouted at him. He was really a genius. I envy him. Everything I was teaching him was being absorbed by him so fast.

Nakakagawa na siya ng shield ngayon na mas malakas kesa no'ng una niyang ginawa 'yon. He could even concentrate his mana to different parts of his body already, and he just kept improving.

Whenever I see Yule, I feel a strong sense that I should really survive with whatever it takes. I might not be in my real world, but I was still breathing, thus, even in here, I wanted to start again.

I might have Portia's face and body, but I could still show that I could be Evienne. And I already started by acting different from her. Also, I was already in the Seventh Kingdom, I could convince Kallisto, I might be able to live in peace here.

Before, I was hung-up in going back to my world, but now, if I'd be here until the end, then I wanted to live how I wanted.

'Yong mga hindi ko nagawa sa mundo ko, gusto kong gawin dito.

And the thing that I wanted the most?

Money. Treasure. Wealth.

Well, marami 'yong tatay ko sa mundo ko no'n, pero hindi akin 'yon.

And one thing I realized about it, was money would literally solve ninety-nine percent of my problems!

Tsaka, aba! Nandito ka na rin naman, maging mayaman na rin tayo! Lalong-lalo na marami akong alam na mga nakabaon na kayaman dito.

"Mouhahaha!" I laughed just thinking about looting all the hidden treasures in this world.

Pasensya ka na Juno, mukhang kailangan kitang unahan sa pag-discover mo ng mga bagay na ikakayaman mo sana. You already have Azazel, and the Elysia's support.

I call dibs, Juno, hehehe.

But before I could get all those richness, and become a really well-off person who'd go to a different continent for peace and rest, I needed to convince Kallisto first to let me live.

Pakiramdam ko sumakit ang ulo dahil do'n. If I wanted a deal with him, how? There was really nothing I could offer. Portia wasn't really close to the other Celestes, so I couldn't really recommend him to anyone—wait! I could! There was one person!
