Violet the Wallflower | COMPLETED

Chapter 46

Prince Gabriel is looking at me weirdly. Kunyari na lang akong kumuha nung cookies na nakahanda. Sana lang talaga wala itong lason. I mean, I wouldn't eat it if he's not looking at me like that. What wrong with him? Ang nakakainis pa eh, ang sarap nung cookies. Letche!

"Ah, that's right. I want to know why you have called me, Your Highness", nakangiti lang si Prince Gabriel saakin. Seriously, hindi mo malaman kung anu tumatakbo sa utak niya. Mas lalo tuloy pinagpapawisan kili-kili ko.

But seriously, what's wrong with him?

Umupo sa may tapat ko si Prince Gabriel at nagsimulang mag-brew ng tea. Shocks! "Before I answer that, how's Noah?", bigla naman akong kinabahan sa tanong niya. "How's his condition?", ano ba dapat kong isagot sakaniya.

It's so obvious na alam niya mga nangyari. "I believe the arrow that struck him was poisoned, and there is no antidote. So, how is he now?".

"He's g-getting b-better now, Your Highness".

"Hmm? Is that so? That's odd. Where did you get the antidote? Unless it was treated by something else or by someone..."", does he also know that Lady Lily helped. As per Cyan, Duke Daniel secretly asked Lady Lily for help.

I shouldn't underestimate the prince's power. Yung pagka-marites niya, iba ang level. Bakit niya alam lahat? Lumilibot ba mata at tenga niya. Napapa-pray na lang tuloy ako. 'Aba, Ginoong Maria. Napupuno ka ng grasya...'

"Hahahaha... you look troubled, Lady Violet", kita mo itong walanghiyang toh! Nagawa pang tumawa. "But I would prefer to talk with you in a more relaxed manner, so how about we start again without pretending?", bahagya akong napatingin sakaniya dahil sa sinabi niya.

"What do you mean, Your Highness?".

"Whether you answer me truthfully or not, I already know that you knew about Lily. I know that you have heard of my conversation with Duke Simmons on that night".

Tuyong-tuyo na yung bunganga ko kakalunok ng laway ko. I knew it. There's no way I can lie now. I can't even use my acting now. Darn it! "So, how about we skip that part and talk about what's important now", huh?

Nilagyan ni Prince Gabriel yung cup ko ng tea. There is no way in hell I'm going to drink that. "To be honest, I was pissed when I learned that some of my shadows had died. I only wanted to pick you up, but then, that so-called knight of mine disrupted my plan. It would have been better if Noah had died", dagdag pa niya na siyang ikinataas ng mga balahibo ko.

Aahh, he's getting crazier and crazier. How could he say those things with a smile on his face? But, did he say pick me up? Dude, you kidnapped me. Anong pick-up pick-up? You literally kidnapped me from my carriage!

"A-are you going to k-kill me?", kapag ako pinatay nito, mumultuhin ko siya forever. Hindi ako matatahimik. 

"Now, why does the lady thinks I'm going to kill her?", balik na tanong niya habang naka-dekwatro.
