Violet the Wallflower | COMPLETED

Chapter 29

Kasalukuyan akong nakatambay sa office ni papa. Habang si papa ay maraming papeles na isinasagawa, ako naman ay pamerye-meryenda lang. Nagtataka na nga siya dahil ilang araw na raw akong nakatambay sa bahay.

Ayoko muna kasi magpagala-gala lalo na't alam kong may stalker ako. Tsaka tinatamad pa ako magwala sa labas. Hihintayin ko nalang yung hunting competition.

Napagkasunduan din namin ni Iris na sabay kaming pupunta doon. Dadaanan nalang daw niya ako, which works for me. Pinanood ko si papa na magtrabaho habang kumakain ako. Super serious siya sa trabaho niya at super bilis. Halos hindi ko na makita kamay niya sa bilis ng galaw ng mga kamay niya.

As for Cyan and Iris' engagement, nakapag-usap na ang parents namin at ang Marquis Visage kaya naman si mama todo prepare na. After ng pag-uusap na iyon ay umalis din si papa para doon sa pagre-recruit niya ng bagong mga knights.

Pero nung chineck ko yung mga ni-recruit ni papa ay napasapo na lang ako. Hindi ata knights ang ni-recruit niya eh, mga body builders ata. Puro kasi mga muscles ang nakita ko. Most of the recruits are mercenaries. and commoners.

Wala namang issue saamin yun eh, as long as they vow their loyalty to us. Nakausap ko na rin yung mga newbies at mukhang mababait at mapagkakatiwalaan naman sila.

There were also some changes in our estate. Since we are filthy rich, my father upgraded the training ground and training swords for our knights. The building where the knights and our servants stay is being renovated. All of the workers of the Glyn were given bonuses. My mother extended our backyard garden in case we host a garden tea party. 

As for me, yung 1 million gold coins na binigay saakin ay nakatambay pa rin sa kwarto ko. Hindi ko pa kasi alam kung saan yun gagamitin. 

"Father, I'm going to my room now", paalam ko kay papa.

"Okay, take care and behave", sagot niya nang hindi man lang ako tinapunan ng tingin.

"Father, I'm about to go outside and dance naked while shouting praise me, praise me!"

"Okay, take care and behave", hmm? Lumabas nalang ako ng office ni papa. Sa sobrang busy niya hindi na niya naintindihan yung sinabi ko. As if naman na gagawin ko yun. Pero paano kung tinotoo ko?

Nagpunta nalang ako ng room ko at humilata sa higaan ko habang yakap yakap ko yung teddy bear ko. Tomorrow is the hunting competition. Teka, ano na kasi ang mangyayari bukas? The hunting competition is an event popular among nobles. Especially, because of the selection of the "Lady of the hunt". 

From what I remembered in the novel, Prince Gabriel is the one who organized this event as part of a crown prince's job. The hunt will happen at the Dednia Wilds. Usually, wild animals ang hina-hunt but since monsters exist here in Merriole Kingdom, monsters are the prey for this competition and Dednia Wilds is the perfect hunting ground.

Dednia Wilds was a restricted forest before because it was infested with dangerous monsters. But something happened two years ago that they decided to exterminate those monsters. They even said that a demon lives there. To think that demon actually exists but I'm no longer surprised since this world is from a fantasy novel. 

Of course, my brother Cyan was the one leading the extermination mission. I mean, he was there when the incident with the Kershian people happened. I wonder, how's Alexandria right now? The last thing I heard from her is when she got married. 

Anyway, Dednia Wilds is now safe. Though there are still monsters it became a hunting ground for nobles. The hunting competition is the finale of the original novel. This is where the three male leads compete on the hunt. Magpaparamihan sila ng maha-hunt. Pa-pogi points ba kay Lily.
