Her Blade

HB 25

"Do you know about this, Syra?" Dion asked as we both walked towards the chaotic hallway.

After Dion figured out that Einarian is the one who is behind the commotion, he quickly dragged me away from the public hall. He let his troops take care of the situation going on in the duchy. As for what he is about to do, hindi na ako magtataka kung ito ang gagawin niya in fear na makukuha ako.

"I don't. I don't even have a medium of communication that I can use to communicate with them," I half-lied.

Alam ko na pupunta sila rito one day, but I didn't expect that it would be today. And I also didn't expect that the plan na binabalak nila would cause such a scene to the point that the whole duchy of Dion was shaken.

As of now, I still have no idea where we're going. Sinusubukan kong makawala mula sa pagkakahawak sa 'kin ni Dion, but he grasped me enough for me not to run away. "Dion, won't you really let me go?" I asked, sounding tired which is what I actually feel as of this moment.

Maganda ring mas maaga akong magpapakita kina Kristov nang sa gayon ay hindi na magtagal ang panggugulo nila rito. Sa pagtagal ng pagtatago sa 'kin ni Dion, mas maraming bagay pa lalo ang p'wedeng mangyari sa labas. 

He stopped walking after he heard what I just said. He just stood there without turning his back to face me."Did you hate this place so much?" he asked. I can already feel his pain and emotions just by the way he speaks. For a moment he loosened his grip on my wrist, and got a hold of it once again as if he went back to his senses.

I don't hate the place, Dion. This was the place where I built a ton of memories with him, anyway.

"If I said yes, would you let me go?"

He didn't answer and started walking towards the direction that leads to his study room. "Hindi ba't mas maganda kung tutulong ka sa labas?" suhestyon ko rito. Maliban na gusto ko rin makita kung sino-sino ang nandito na taga-Einarian, gusto ko ring makasigurado na hindi sila lalagpas sa inaasahan kong panggugulo rito sa duchy.

Having their entrance a bit scandalous can cause widespread panic and this might even reach the imperial family of Aphelian. Kapag nangyari ang lahat nang 'yon, mas malaki ang magiging kasalanan namin sa Aphelian. 

"For what? Para makatakbo ka palayo, Syra?"

I shrugged as I looked away, "Shoot your shot, Dion."

Mula sa bintana ng study room, rinig na rinig ang kaguluhang nangyayari sa likod ng duchy. "Hindi ko alam kung ano pang p'wedeng makuha niyo sa 'kin kung hihintayin niyong makuha 'yung mana stone niyo mula Einarian," sambit ko habang naglalakad ako papunta sa bintanang naiwang bukas sa silid.

"How many times do I have to tell you na kahit anong pilit mong gawin ay hindi kita hahayaang umalis," sagot ni Dion kasabay ng paghawi ng buhok nito. "Dion, para saan? Anong purpose ng pagtigil ko rito sa Aphelian? Ang tanging pinanghahawakan niyo lang naman sa 'kin mula nung una palang ay dahil importante ako sa buhay ng prinsipe!"
