Lynphea Academy: School Of Magic

Chapter 40 (PART ONE)

Chapter 40: The beginning of our end

WITCHES, PRINCESS, QUEENS and all that stuff was lingering on her mind and keeps on bugging even on her dream. She don't know what happened anymore after the tragedy because when she woke up, a royal ceiling welcome her eyes. Lutang na napatitig pa siya kisame at hinayaan ang sarili na balikan ang lahat ng nangyari.

It's real that she killed. Even though it was an accident, she still killed and that was the fact. Her friend and other humans were now safe and she's sure that they were now back in the earth. She wanted to see her friend one last time but she can wait until the portal will open and visit her. The witches and wizards were now arrested but most of them were controlled in mind. Her Nanay Aurora were dead and the one who killed her is the only Queen of Lynphea.

She said she's my mother.

Hindi parin niya lubos paniwalaan ang mga salita nito ngunit hindi naman niya gustong sabihin na nagsisinungaling ang reyna. Ang isang Ina ay kilala ng lubusan ang kanyang anak at habang nakatitig siya sa mga mata nito, kitang-kita niya ang kasiyahan at kalungkutan na naghalo. She has too many questions and right now, the Queen can only answer those. Gusto rin niyang magtanong sa mga kaibigan kung bakit sumadya pa rito ang reyna at hari ng Veldora at kung ano ang nangyari kay Art.

Ang about that coronation. Anong ibig sabihin ng reyna na kinoronahan ng Punong Ministro ang apo nito? Posible bang mangyari 'yon? Wala siyang alam sa batas ng lugar na ito dahil mas nakapukos siya sa pag-aaral at pagiging malakas. But in the end, she was used and deceive by the woman who accepted and take care of her. Sumisikip ang dibdib niya sa kaalamang ito nga ang nagpatay sa kanyang lolo at lola.

My innocent grandparents.

She lifted her hand and stared at it. Ang kamay na pumatay ng ilang mangkukulam na kontrolado ang isip at pawang inosente. Hindi siya nalalayo sa pagiging mamamatay tao. She killed and that's it. Mabubuhay siya at hindi patatahimikin ng pagsisisi.

A soft knock made her stilled. Bumuntong hininga siya at binaba ang nakataas na kamay para papasukin ang kung sino mang kumatok.

"Come in!"

The grandiose white door opened and she hastily sat when she saw that it's the Queen. Napuno ng pag-aalala ang mukha nito sa ginawa niya at tinulungan siya nitong maupo ng maayos.

"Silly daughter, be careful okay? I know your wound was healed but still, take care of yourself. It might hurt you."

Napapalunok na tumango siya rito at tahimik na nagpasalamat nang tulungan siya nitong sumandal sa headboard ng kama na may unan na pinagpatong-patong.

The Queen's eyes feels so intimidating. It's her first time to see that kind of eyes. A golden one. Well, hindi naman talaga bago dahil nakikita niya ito kay Lioness pero ang makita na may gintong mata ang reyna ay nakakamangha. It looks so light and the emotions were lingering on it. Nangingibabaw ang kasiyahan doon.

"You have too many questions, right?" The Queen started and sat at the chair beside her bed.

Tumango siya bilang pagsang-ayon rito.

"Yes. At ang gusto kong malaman ay kung paano ako naging anak mo. It's.. impossible right?"

"Not at all. Lumaki ka sa pangangalaga ni Merta, hindi ba?"

Shock was written all over her face.

"P-Paano mo nalaman ang pangalan ni lola?"

"Because she's your godmother." The Queen smiled bitterly. "I know all along that your alive but I don't know where you are. I took my life by drowning my self but the witches caught me and take as their hostage. Habang nasa loob ako ng kulungan, iisa lang ang hiling ko at iyon ay ang makita ka. My eyes in the air tells me who take care of you and I'm glad that it's your godmother. But I can't reach. I can't even see and hold you."
