The Cursed - Eyed Princess

XXIX- The Royal Family

Eukia's POV

"Eukia Remember your mission with the Prince it will start tomorrow..."

shit! Oo nga pala...Bukas na ba yun?..

"What do we need to do in that mission Headmistress?" Pagkausap ko pabalik kay headmistress...

Naririnig ko parin ang kwentuhan ng mga kasama ko sa kwarto...

"you need to investigate who are the traitor in the palace.." Sagot naman sa aking isip ni Auntie

"Be ready tomorrow Eukia..." Tila may kakaiba sa tono ni Auntie...Did I hear her wrong? she seem a little bit excited? Excited for what?

Nang balingan ko ang mga kasama ko sa silid ay hindi parin sila tumitigil sa kwento nila....

Tumikhim ako at lahat naman sila ay napatigil sa kanilang usapan at nakatingin sakin ng malalim....

"Not a single soul must know what happen to all of you, Who did you met and what you encountered...
Understood!" Paalala ko sa kanila....

"Yes Your Highness!" Sabay sabay ng mga itong sagot...

"Remember to pretend not to know me when we are in the academy.." Dagdag kong paalala...Tango lang ang sagot ng mga ito...

"That's all for today, you may go back to your room and rest..." Saad ko sa mga ito...Ngunit hindi pa ako tapos kay Crystal...

"Crystal stay..." tila napatingin sila kung nasan si Crystal at mababakas ang katanungan sa mga mukha nila..
Habang si Crystal naman ay tila wala parin sa wisyo dahil nakayuko parin ito at hindi makatingin sa akin..

"You may leave now..." Paalala ko sa iba, lito man ay unti unti na silang nawala sa aking harapan...Nang maramdaman kong wala ng ibang presensya ay nag umpisa na akong lumapit kay Crystal....The Guardian of Darkness...

Nang makalapit ako ay dahan dahan itong humarap sa akin....

Umupo ako sa tabi nya...Hindi na ako nagulat ng bigla itong lumuhod sa harap ko....

"I am sorry..." Simula nito...regret is very evident in her voice...tahimik lang ako at naghihintay ng kasunod nyang sasabihin...Sa lahat ng guardian....Guardian of Darkness ang pinakamahirap tanggapin.....

The word Darkness scream it all....Kadiliman, isang salita na kinamumuhian ng lahat....Once everyone know about Crystal being the Princess of Darkness...Kamatayan ang kapalit....

I am one of the creator of the Guardian...That is why I am responsible to all of them....They will help me guide and guard everyone, in exchange I need to protect them aswell...

"I am the Princess of the Darkness...Kalaban ako...Kaya bakit mo ako napili? alam mo kung sino ako...isa akong traydor...Hindi ko maintindihan kong bakit mo nagawang ipagkatiwala sa akin ang pagiging guardian...." Hindi ko man nakikita ang mukha nya ay alam kong umiiyak ito...Dahil narin sa boses nito....Hinaplos ko ang ulo ni Crystal...

"The first time I saw you, I know who you are Crystal...A Princess of Darkness with a soft heart is hard to find....I know your secret....Your Mother is imprisoned am I right? Your Father blackmailed you to spy here in the academy in exchange of your mother...." Saad ko dito....

Her mother was raped by the Dark King and she is the child...She was just  used as one of the King's puppet....

Lalong lumakas ang pag iyak nito...

"Don't worry your mother is already safe...." sa gulat nito ay napatingin ito sa akin...

"While all of you are sleeping I manage to get her and bring her to a safe place..So don't worry and live happily as you wish....That's what I want from you..." Dagdag kong paliwanag
