A Royal Contract (Royal Series #1)

"Yes," 

He smiled at me, then he held my wrist. "We need to get out of here,"  

"Whatever happened, Jiara stay behind my back, do you understand?" he looked at me and I just nodded, we took our leave inside the room. He shush me as we walked gently. 

"You know how to use this?"  binigay nya sa akin yung maliit na baril, "Anong tawag dito, Lolo?" nakatingin pa rin ako sa baril. 

"Talaga? Ngayon mo itatanong yan?" 

Ngumiti lang ako saka tumango, wala syang nagawa kaya napabuga sya ng hininga, "Pistol," 

"You know how to use pistol?" I nodded and looked at the kitchen, "Tinuruan ako ni Mama," he smiled as he heard that Mama taught me how. "That's my girl," 

"Stay behind me, are we clear?" I nodded as I walked behind Lolo. 

Hinawakan nya ang ulo ko para magtago at nakipagsabayang bumaril doon, hawak-hawak ko naman ang pareho kong tenga, rinig na rinig ang mga putok ng baril. Lolo held back as he hitted twice in different ways where the shotgun came from. 

Napasandal ako habang hawak ni Lolo ang braso at tagiliran nya. Napairap ako ng dahil sa frustration, ayaw ni Mama na humahawak ako ng baril as she told me that guns were and still are really a traitor. 

"Sorry, ma." I pulled the trigger as I saw a person who was attacking us. I took Lolo's revolver, he was shocked as I got it, "Sorry, Lolo but you need to stay still, so," I smiled to him and checked the bullets inside the two. I smirked as I walked and targeted all the people who trespassing inside the house. 

"Don't worry, I didn't kill anyone," I winked at the last one as he slowly dropped his gun. "GO!" he shouted. I looked at the person behind as he point the gun to my forehead, "You are really something, Princess Jiara," he whispered. 

"Hindi ko alam na isa't kalahating bobo pala ang Nanay mo para iwan ka kasama ang Lolo mo," he smirked. I glanced at my Lolo. Can he stay still? What more can I do for him? I'm worried. "Lo.." 

"What can you do now, Princess?" I heard sarcasm as he said that. "Hindi mo deserve--" nagulat ako ng bumagsak sya at saka ako tinutukan nung lalaki, tinitigan nya ako saka nya binaril ang nasa gilid ko na kanina pa ring tinututukan ang likod ko. 

He nodded to my grandfather, "Medyo late ka," sabi pa ni Lolo. 

"Tara," pinuntahan ko si Lolo at inalalayan palabas ng bahay. Sinakay namin ang kotse habang ginagamot si Lolo ng lalaking tumulong sa amin. "San tayo, Lolo?" 

"You'll know," nilagay nya sa ibabaw ng mga mata nya ang kaliwang braso nya. 

"Oh hello?" napatingin ako kay Lolo. "Ah, oo papunta na kami, dyan ko na ipaliwanag," pinatay nya agad ang tawag saka huminga ng malalim.
