Reborn as the Tyrant's Son

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

"Here's your warm milk, Your Imperial Highness."

Loki's eyes twinkled when Iris went inside his room, a glass of milk in hand.

Nang maiabot ito sa kaniya, Iris walked towards the big curtains, closing it.

"Did you enjoy playing in the snow today, Your Highness?"

"Yes!" He giggled.

Of course he enjoyed it! He never played with snow before dahil wala namang snow sa Pilipinas. Ever since he experienced snow, winter has become his favorite season.

"Can I play again tomorrow, Iris?"

"I'm afraid you can't, Your Imperial Highness."

Lumapit si Iris sa kaniya nang matapos ang ginagawa. She carefully received the glass nang iabot ito ni Loki sa kaniya dahil naubos niya na ang gatas na laman nito.

"Your body is weak and fragile, Your Highness. Magkakasakit ka kung araw-araw kang maglalaro sa snow. Next week ulit."

Loki pouted as he's being tucked under the sheets. "Mabagal pa ang susunod na linggo, Iris." He whined.

He put up his puppy eyes but Iris only looked at him sternly, the reason why he whimpered quietly.

"Hindi pwede." Strikto nitong wika before she poked Loki's forehead using her index and middle finger. "Then please have a great night, Your Highness."

Iris then trudged out of his room.

Ilang minutong nakapikit si Loki bago mabilis na bumangon. He can't sleep. He still wanted to play, his kid instinct kicking in.

He slowly went down from his bed, taking his scarf before peeking outside. Nang makitang walang tao sa hallway, he dashed out of the palace using the garden door.

He continued to run, running past the garden near the palace he's residing. He huffed when he stopped to catch his breath. A white smoke left his mouth because of it. He hugged the scarf around his shoulders, walking towards the piled of snow.

He giggled as he tried to make a snowball pero nawawasak ito. He didn't give up though. He continued playing all night until he saw the sun rising.

"Oh, no..."

He immediately stood up sa pagkakasalampak pero bigla siyang nahilo. His breathing became slow, head throbbing in pain. Bumigat din ang pakiramdam niya.

Napaluhod siya dahil nangangatog ang binti niya. Pilit siyang tumatayo pero hindi niya kaya. Hindi 'to pwede! Kapag nalaman ni Iris na wala siya sa silid niya, mag-aalala 'yon.

He started to regret coming out, especially when he felt himself fall on the snow, eyes dropping.

The last thing he remembered was someone walking towards his small body, panicking when that person saw him collapse.

Loki groaned as he slowly opened his eyes. Medyo gumaan na ang pakiramdam niya kaya nagawa niya nang imulat ang kaniyang mga mata.

He blinked as what happened earlier processed in his mind. Mabilis siyang napaupo dahil naalala niya ang nangyari kanina.

Nilibot niya ang silid kung nasaan siya gamit ang kaniyang tingin nang mapansing hindi ito pamilyar sa kaniya.

It looks grand, grander than his room. Halos lahat ng gamit ay mamahalin. Even the frames on the paintings are gold!

"Oh, it's awake."

Napalingon si Loki sa nanggalingan ng boses. Halos mahulog ang panga niya sa nakita.

She's a beautiful woman!
