"I told you not to do any reckless moves Aurora," the Duke said while sitting beside me.
The tension calmed when the Duke entered, ang kaninang mainit na tensyon ay tila naglaho na parang bula.
Napanguso ako habang nakaupo na para bang masunuring bata sa tabi ng Duke. I was enjoying earlier that I forgot about the Duke, he doesn't want any cat fights especially in a noble banquet.
How boring.
"That Lady is Roselle Fuego, one of the followers of the Emperor. They are below us but it doesn't mean that you have the right to talk back to your elders like that." kulang nalang ay paluin ako nito sa pagpapangaral.
"but she's not an elder, she's too childish that I forgot that she has a son." nakangusong saad ko ngunit nakatikim lang ako ng masamang tingin mula kay Duke.
"Kahit na."
Napasimangot ako, "but father... She's insulting mother, is it even fine that Mother is being insulted while being the Duchess of the Catastrope? It's a shame for our name to be trampled like that father."
Napahinto ito at tila inisip ang sinabi ko, I know right. When it comes to the family name ay ayaw niyang nadudungisan iyon.
"I'll let you go from this but there's no next time Aurora." tumayo ito mula sa pagkakaupo at iniwan ako.
Napatingin ako kay step mother at ngingiti na sana nang umirap ito, napakapangit talaga ng ugali ng babaeng to.
Bored akong napasandal ang ulo sa mesa at tamad na inikot ikot ang kutsara sa tsaang nasa harap ko. Gusto ko nang magpahinga at yakapin si little wolf.
I wonder what's his name, siguro nga ay kailangan ko na siyang isauli sa pamilya niya at baka nga hinahanap na siya.
"Achilles! My son, where have you been?" napukaw ang atensyon ko sa direksyon ni step mother.
That must be the second son or the eldest? I don't know, parehong ekspresyon at pareho din ang dating nila.
"I heard that the Lady of the Fuego bothered you again mother."
Umiling-iling si step mother at ngumiti, "don't worry... Nothing bad happened."
Napangiwi ako sa klase ng ngiti nito, pag sinabi kong klaseng ngiti yung ngiting parang sinasamba ang kaharap nito.
Bumaling ang tingin sa'kin ni Achilles at nakita ko ang pagngisi nito, wait—did he just smirk at me?
Napabangon ako mula sa pagkakasandal sa mesa at magkadikit ang mga kilay na tinignan ito, hindi na ito nakatingin at iginaya si step mother sa harap ng mga pagkain.
No way, hindi ako namamalikmata! Ngumisi siya.
Is that a good news or a bad news? What if it's an insult smile or something like 'im-going-to-eat-you' smile. Nanlamig ata ako sa naisip ko at napagdesisyunang lumabas muna.
Napadpad ako sa Garden na wala manlang katao-tao, it's refreshing though. Walang distorbo—
"What are you doing here?"
Tila mas lalo akong nanlamig sa narinig kong boses, napalingon ako sa likod at napamura ako saking isipan nang makita ang isa pang anak ni step mother.
Is this perhaps Deitry?
Ngumiti ako, "hello brother!" I tried my best not to looked awkward but God didn't really love me dahil napahiya lamang ako.
