bound beyond fates

chapter 31.

"princess!" sigaw ng mga kasama ko nang iharang ko ang sarili ko sa harap ng isang knight na hindi namalayang inaatake na sa likod niya. kaagad ko pinatay ang umatake samin gamit ang espada ko. kaya nagkaroon ako ng sugat diretsong pisngi hanggang dibdib. naramdaman ko ang pagdaloy ng dugo nito kaya gumamit ako ng magic para maisara kaagad ang ito.

"p-princess your face-" nanginginig na saad ni zack- ang iniligtas kong knight.

"you don't to worry about it. maliit lang ang  sugat na 'to. besides i've had worst."

" but it's your face your highness! a member of the royal family must not have scars especially their faces!" nahihisterikal na sigaw ni zack habang ako ay napabuntong hininga.

" magic will remove my scars so don't fret into it. focus to your back or you'll get yourself stab in the back." maawtoridad kong paalala kay zack na ngayon ay yumuko sakin.

" i apologized for my carelessness i've cause to her highness. i will not hesitate to offer my life that is saved by the princess." tumango lang ako at kaagad na dumiretso sa ibang kasamahan ko para tulungan sila.

we're currently here in the border of fuerox and claveria in the east, the moment fuerox declared war against us. my uncle didn't hesitate to send me here and let me lead a thousands of lives in there grave. i know that war will not be completed if there is no death but i can't help but to feel guilty.

i'm the one that holds their lives the moment we stepped in this battlefield. i'm the one that is responsible if each of them died in my commands. that's why i'm trying to save them. all of them have bright futures unlike me. i can't help but to grimaced at the sight of collapse bodies and a pool of blood.

why must all of them suffer like this? everyone was doing there job protecting our kingdom where their families and friends reside. why do we have to dirty our hands and lands for this bastards trying to seize us?! why are they even trying conquer us?!

wala na bang ibang paraan para mawakasan ito? but if i died here, what will happen to my mother? i have to move forward. i have to do it. i have to protect mother from that monster. even if i lost my everything, i can't lost her. not her!

kaya pilit kong pinagsasasaksak ang mga nadadaanan kong mga kalaban at hindi namalayang may naapakan ako. nanlaki ang mata ko dahil may biglang lumitaw na barrier na pumapalibot samin. kaya kaagad kong ginamit ang mahika ko para paalisin ang mga kasamahan ko bago mabuo ang barrier.

"princess!?" sigaw nilang lahat nang makalabas na silang lahat at ako lamang ang natira sa loob at mga tauhan galing sa fuerox. i tried to use magic to immediately wipe them but i didn't feel anything. this is isolation barrier! are they trying to trap me so that i can't use magic? these cheating bastards. you think i only depend to my mana? i'm going to show you my cruel trainings that i've faced this all years.

lahat sila ay nakangisi sakin at biglang nagulat dahil sa pagbabago ang aking mata. right, i'm using magic to hide my jeweled eyes but since i'm in the isolation barrier, it will negate my magic. i have to kill them. i can't let them live after seeing my eyes. when i'm outside doing my missions, gumagamit ako ng magic para matakpan ang totoong anyo ng mata ko. it's really disgusting to have the same eyes as those bastards especially him.

"jeweled eyes?! you're a royalty?!"

"i didn't expect that they are going send a princess in the battlefield."

" haha! if we killed her and bring her head to those claverias, i wonder what will be their reactions!"

" then let's see what will they do right?" at sabay sabay silang umatake sakin. tumawa lang ako ng mahina sa sinabi nila. wala silang magiging reaksyon, baka nga maghanda pa sila ng party sa pagkamatay ko.
