Howling Marionette

Prologue

"Fuck off!"

Napatili ang ginang dahil sa sigaw ko, kung gaano kalakas ang sigaw ko ay siya namang sing tinis ng tinig nito na parang asong ulol kung makatili, ansakit sa tenga ng pagtili nito. Nakakairita.

"H-how could you do this?!" tumili muli ito habang nandidiring tumingin sa mga palakang gumapang papunta sakanya.

Napahalakhak ako at pinulot ang isang palaka, natatawang tinignan ko siya na may nandidiring tingin sa'kin.

"Look, do you know the story of the lady and the frog? The lady kissed the frog and turned into a prince? It's a good story, mother."

"Wh-what?!"

Nakangisi ko siyang tinignan at tinapon sakanya ang palaka, "Catch mother! That frog is the prince! HAHAHAHAHA"

Napatili muli ito at nakapikit na natumba mula sa pagkakatayo, the frog went into her head and when she opened her eyes ay mas lalo itong napasigaw at nawalan ng malay.

Ops, na-highblood ata sa palaka, impit akong napatawa at napahawak sa tiyan. The frogs were scattered on the floor when the door opened, The Duke entered with a furious face.

Mas lalong dumilim ang mukha nito nang makita ang nawalang malay na asawa nito, I didn't hide my laugh because it's really funny.

"Aurora! What did you do to your mother?!" tanong nito matapos tawagin ang mga katulong upang dalhin sa labas ang asawa nito.

Looking at how vicious his appearance is, I'm right that this man is the Duke of this house. His presence itself is intimidating.

Natatawang napaupo ako sa kama at ngumisi, "What are talking about father? The frogs went inside my room and mother was shocked seeing the frogs. Oh my God I was shocked too and I think I'm going to lose my mind." I was acting like I'm going to die but I laughed when he was glaring at me.

Napatikhim ako at napahawak sa hibli ng buhok ko at inikot-ikot ito, "Father I'm sorry, mother was the one who brought the frogs." I changed my voice into a pitiful one.

Buti nalang at naging artista ako sa dating buhay ko, I can exactly do anything even acting like a naive one.

Sumeryoso ang mukha nito kaya mas pinaigihan ko ang pag-acting ko, tinuro ko ang isang box na nakabukas.

"She told me that she has a gift for me, a gift for my recovery but when I opened the box it was full of frogs kaya I accidentally dropped the box and the frogs scattered. I didn't know that it was for me to be scared but the box dropped on her feet that's why she got scared instead of me."

I covered my smile inside the blanket I am holding acting like I am about to cry, I heard the Duke sighed before turning his back.

"You should behave yourself and don't do anything reckless." he said before leaving.

Nang mawala ang presensya nito sa kwarto ko ay napahalakhak ako ng sobra at halos mawalan ako ng hininga sa pagtawa.

This is really funny, the step mother and all the servants are all pathetic. They used to scare the owner of this body and tortured her until she asked to die.

They are all stupid and pathetic, they took their own bait and swallowed it. The whole scenario was too childish that I can even see their plan behind those ugly faces.
