Reincarnated as a Side-Character

Chapter 38: Was it a Lie? Or the Truth?

Bakit hindi ako makagalaw? In the first place hindi naman ako si Herabella diba? So why am I involved!? Malay ko bang nasangkot pala si Herabella sa ganyan?

I didn't know! No one told me, pero bakit ako ang pinagbibintangan!? "You can't move diba? So it's true then?! Ginawa mo nga yun? For your family?"

Hindi talaga ako makagalaw kahit anong gawin ko I can't even look around at ang nakikita ko lang ay yung kaharap ko ngayon na sina Mel at Erina.

"Why would I do that-" hindi ko magawang magsalita dahil hindi din makagalaw ang labi ko, the cave of truths is preventing me to do anything.

"Tulad ng sinabi ko, once you lie or something. Justice will prevail and it will prevent you from moving. So what you said was a lie! That video was not an illusion" –Erina.

"According sa libro, if you keep denying na di mo ginawa ito. You will not be able to move or talk back at all!" dagdag nito.

I don't get it, bakit ito sinasabi ni Erina? She doesn't know me- naniniwala siya dyan sa mirrors? What if hindi iyan totoo?! Mel knows me she has to trust me!

"Lady Hera... i- I didn't know you... na kaya mong gawin iyan sakin." NO MEL! TRUST ME, hindi ko ginawa yun I swear! It was the real Herabella!

Bakit!? Hindi naman ako si Herabella so hindi ako ang may gawa diba? I'm just the reincarnated soul inside her body, so bakit ako pinarusahan?

"I can't believed I considered you as a friend, Lady Herabella." Mahinang sabi ni Mel, why is she saying this?! Sa tingin niya magagawa ko to sakanya?

"Tutulungan naman kita eh, I would do anything for you and your family. Pero bakit umabot sa ganito? Where you destroy my relationship with Gareth? So hindi siya yung may kasalanan kundi ikaw?"

NO MEL WHY ARE YOU BELIEVING THIS SH*T, IT WAS OBVIOUSLY AND ILLUSION! A LIE PARA IMANIPULATE KA!-

Si Magnus! Asan si Magnus! He can prove that I'm innocent- By saying na illusion lang ang mirrors, he can help me! I CANT SPEAK! ASAN NA BA SIYA!

"You should really be careful having such friends Princess Melusine." Pailing iling na sabi ni Erina, pero her voice sounds... like she's teasing and enjoying this.

"Ibebetray ka lang pala... for the sake of money." -Erina

Teka- diba siya yung nagpasa sa crystal? Paano niya nakuha iyon? Magic? Atsaka bakit hindi umappear ang lies or past niya doon sa mirror?

Nung ipinasa niya saakin kanina? How did she do it? ang sabi na kapag mahawakan mo ang crystal, a-appear ang lies, past or secrets mo. That can't be right!?

She can't use magic unless... nanlaki naman ang mata ko. Si Erina? Pero paano? Is she the summoner-

"Kailangan nating umalis dito, I sense a big amount of magic coming out of the cave. Baka sasabog nato." Mas lalo akong nanlamig ng nagsalita si Magnus.

Why isn't he helping me? I'm innocent! Alam kong mapo-prove niya na inosent ako dahil he can detect magic. That mirror is an illusion- hindi iyan totoo!

I didn't do it! it was the real Herabella ok? If in case totoo nga tong sinasabi ng mirror, wouldn't they have detected na isa akong reincarnated person?

Not only that ma detect din nila na hindi ako ang gumawa non? So why did it show me of Herabella's past instead of mine na isang reincarnated person?

"Ok na sina Prince Gareth and Lord King, let's go." Dagdag ni Magnus. BUT I CAN'T MOVE!!! WHY ISNT HE- teka... his voice doesn't sound right?

"Sorry Princess Melusine, pero we need to leave her behind. That betrayal is just to much to handle diba?" sabat ni Erina, this piece of sh*t.

Makakagalaw lang ako dito- "Pero... she may have done something terrible, but we cant leave her here. AH!"

Bigla naman yumanig ang buong cave.

"Oh my God, ito na ata ang sinsabi ni Lord Magnus na strong magic! We need to go- hindi natin siya maigagalaw dahil sa truth cave!" malakas na sabi ni Erina.

"Mauna na kayo Lord Magnus and save those two!" dagdag ni Erina. I saw a glimpse of Magnus at hindi man lang siya tumingin sa direksyon ko.

Is he mad because hindi ako nakikinig sakanya? is it the reason why he's not helping me anymore? Pero something is really off! Hindi ganon si Magnus.

Nauna na siyang umalis, weird! Why is he acting like that? Nung nagsasalita din siya kanina sobrang off din ng pananalita niya.

What happened? Tuluyan na siyang umalis habang karga karga sina King and Gareth sa likod niya, both are still unconscious of course.

"Tara na Princess Melusine!" sigaw ulit ni Erina.

"No, we have to try!" malakas na sabi ni Mel, "I know na masama ang ginawa niya pero... she's still my friend."

"You still consider her one? Sa nakita mong iyon? you still wanna save her?" Mel tried to move me kaso hindi talaga niya ako maigalaw.

If she's going to do this mukhang matatagalan sila and the whole cave will collapse. I sighed kasi wala akong choice kundi tanggapin ang nangyari.

Madadamy si Mel just because I was stuck here. For once gusto kong hatakin ni Erina si Mel papaalis dito, and thank God she did.

"NO! LET GO-" since hindi naman ako makapagsalita, tuluyan na silang umalis at hindi man lang ako nakapag-paalam.

I guess the whole cave's gonna collapse on me now, at least nailigtas na namin sina Gareth and King. Pero ang pinagtatakahan ko ay iyong nangyari sa mirror.

What if totoo nga yun? then... it's Herabella's fault? Lahat ng nangyari sa novel? Ay kasalanan ni Hera? Kaya ba namatay si Mel is because...

She trusted Herabella so much na nakikinig siya sa mga utos ni Herabella? That's why she died dahil kay Herabella?

I mean think about it, nakikinig si Mel kay Herabella because she trust her best friend so much gagawin niya lahat ng opinion and suggestions ni Herabella.

Just like what Mel did to my suggestions, agad niya iyong naggawa. Lahat ng yon ay natupad, she always listens to me, anong sinuggest ko or anong opinions ko.

She would always do it for me... so the reason why she dies is because of Herabella?

So the real villainess is... Herabella? Siya ang villainess all this time at hindi si Mel?

"DING DING DING DIIINNNGG~ BINGO!" my eyes glanced kung sino ang nagsalita... Erina? What- and King?!
