Violet the Wallflower | COMPLETED

Chapter 32

It's been days since I've been cooped up here at our house. Mom and Dad have been busy these days due to our sudden wealth and preparations for incoming parties.

And since the novel has deviated from the original story hindi ko na alam kung ano ang mga mangyayari. The incident that happened at the hunting competition was the turning point of the story, as it was the time Lily realized she had feelings for the crown prince. Saving her from the monster's attack gave him pogi points.

After that incident, the crown prince conducted an investigation, pinpointing Iris as the suspect. Thus, Iris gets banished from the kingdom. Following the announcement of Lady Lily's becoming the crown princess, that was the end of the story.

But now that there is no investigation into the monster incident, hindi ko na alam kung ano ang mangyayari. Napabuntong hininga na lang ako at nagpagulong-gulong dito sa higaan ko.

I'm only an extra character pero bakit parang pasan ko lahat ng problema? Kung tutuusin ay dapat wala akong pakialam sa mga nangyayari, but this curiosity of mine is killing me. Hindi ko magawang baliwalahin. Kinuha ko yung teddy bear sa may tabi ko at tinitigan.

"Aargghh... I'm going nuts".

Napatingin ako sa may labas. The weather outside is just so perfect. Should I go outside?

"Georgina, I'm going outside".

Matapos akong tulungan ni Georgina magbihis at ayusin ang nagulo kong buhok ay umalis na ako ng bahay. I insisted on walking alone since plano ko lang naman ay maglakad-lakad sa garden namin. I need to clear my mind.

Well, that was the plan pero kasalukuyan inaaayos yung garden namin. Nakalimutan kong may mga pinaayos si mama. If I need to clear my thoughts, I should go somewhere where most people don't go.

And I know exactly where that place is. 

==============

It's the Poppy Lake.

It's been a while since I last visited this place, though it was a bad memory. Thanks to the blabbermouthed crown prince. The Poppy Lake is near the palace, but it is not often visited by people. Well, that may be because this lake here has a tragic story.

This wasn't mentioned in the novel. I only learned this when I transmigrated here. It turns out, a lot of concubines by the past emperors died in here, in this lake.

It's indeed a tragic story, but for me, this place is too peaceful for me to care about.

Tumingin-tingin muna ako sa paligid para makasiguro na wala talagang tao dito ngayon. Nang masiguro kong walang makakakita saakin ay sinimulan ko ng akyatin yung puno na pinagtambayan namin dati nila Duke Daniel.

Hindi naman ako nahirapan na umakyat dahil sa past life ko ay lagi akong umaakyat sa mga puno ng mangga at bayabas. Isa sa mga talent ko ang umakyat ng puno. Tulad ngayon, nagawa kong makaakyat kahit na nakasapatos ako na 2 inches ang taas.

"As expected, it's more refreshing up here", ani ko tsaka ako sumandal. "Wala naman sigurong ahas or daga dito noh?", sabi ko sabay check sa kinaroroonan ko.

Dahil sa sobrang relax na nararamdaman ko ay medyo inaantok na ako. That's too bad, since medyo may kataasan yung inuupuan ko ngayon. Pilay naman ang aabutin ko nito kapag nakatulog ako at nahulog.

Kaya naman napagpasyahan kong bumaba na at bumalik sa amin. Kaya lang bigla akong napayakap sa puno ng marinig kong may papalapit sa puno kung nasaan ako.
