"Since willing tumulong si Lord Dayton, he can certainly help the princess my liege." Nakasimangot na sambit ni Mayu. "Kahit ayaw ko din sakanya, we have no choice."
Napa snap naman ng fingers si Dayton. "Yuppp! Atsaka isn't she here for training, I will do my best Dark." Nakangising sang-ayon ni Dayton.
Napatitig naman si Dark sakanya at bumuntong hininga. Tsaka ito lumapit sakanya tas may ibinulong. Di ko naman yun narinig pero kitang kita ko ang expression ni Dark.
He was quite angry again. Pero tumango lang si Dayton habang nakangiti- for some reason halos ayaw ngumiti ni Dark pag andito si Dayton.
Another side I see hmmm... ah oo nga pala. Pumunta lang kami dito to discuss the upcoming war, parang ayaw nga ni Dark na magdiscuss eh.
Kanina pa siya bad mood nung pinaalala ng mga guards ang dapat niyang gawin. I forgot he's a prince that rules this empire.
"Boss! Boss- maawa ka naman. Maraming papeles na dapat asikasuhin- may war discussion letters din galing sa ibang kingdoms. We really need you." naiiyak na reklamo ni Cane.
Kakarating niya lang kasama ang mga guards. "My liege, ako na ang bahalang magbantay sa prinsesa." Sabat naman ni Mayu at minatahan si Dayton.
Lumapit naman si Dark sakin sabay halik sa pisngi ko, agad naman akong namula dahil don. First time niya akong halikan sa pisngi in front of many people.
Napanguso naman si Mayu, tas si Cane naman ay naiiyak padin and Dayton just laughed. "Mag-ingat ka." Mahinang sabi niya sakin.
"Ok lang ako, wag kang mag-alala. I will do my best on this one." Nakangiting sagot ko, I'm devoted somehow.
Tinanguan naman ako ni Dark, umalis na silang dalawa ni Cane and naiwan naman kami nina Mayu at Dayton.
"Kelan tayo magsisimula?" tanong ko. Nagtinginan naman sina Mayu and Dayton.
"Now." Sabay nilang sagot, sinundan ko naman sila kung saan sila papunta. We went inside some sort of cave, hindi naman ako nagmind dahil super ganda din ng lugar.
Pumunta ako dito para turuan lumaban, Dark said that magaling tumuro si Mayu sa mga ganito. Their kingdom is good in defense and offense.
Mas mabuti dawn a turuan akong makipaglaban. My family also agreed regarding dito dahil nga war, not to mention... I had a weak personality.
Kaya eager akong maka-learn ng mga ganito. The place has tons of weapons which is by the way maganda. Super nagandahan ako ng mga weapons especially yung bow and arrows.
First, tinuruan ako ni Mayu. She taught me how to do self defense at tinuruan din niya ako kung paano gumamit ng weapons.
For some reason- madali lang sakin gumamit ng kung anong weapon. Even swords which is nakakagulat talaga, hindi ko din alam kung bakit madali lang para sakin.
It was just like that time nung tinuruan ako ni Cane ng pagha-hunt. I got my first prey the day nung tinuruan ako ni Cane, namangha nga siya non eh.
So Mayu tried teaching me other stuffs at na master ko agad. "Wow princess! You're naturally talented!" masayang puri ni Mayu.
Napangiti naman ako sa sinabi niya. "Yes talented... of course she is." tanong naman ni Dayton kaya sabay kaming napatingin ni Mayu. "but can you k-ll a person?"
"H-hindi ko alam." Nauutal na sagot ko- I have injured someone pero k-lled? Hindi pa, doon naman ako simulang kabahan... does he want me to k-ll?
"Anong magagawa ng talent mo kung hindi ka marunong... p-matay princess?" tanong naman ni Dayton sabay lapit sakin.
He grabbed a sword at hinawakan ako. Nanlaki naman ang mata ni Mayu "Wait- wag mong sabihing-"
"It's the only way Lady Mayhuel." Mahinang sagot ni Dayton and just like that- nawala kami sa cave. I stared at Dayton na tumingin tingin sa paligid.
Did he just... teleported us? Sa ibang lugar? Maybe some sort of ibang dimension? Ano ba tong lugar na to? It looks creepy.
"Welcome to my hunting ground!" masayang sabi niya, ako naman eh natakot dahil super creepy ng lugar. I think we're in some sort of... woods?
"Now, princess. Ang rules lang dito ay... p-matay." Napatigil naman and pinanlakihan siya ng mata... "Ready yourself. They will attack what they see, pero except sakin. they can't see me."
He did use magic- so ako lang ang aatakehin? "You will get out of here once nakap*tay ka na ng marami"
"T-teka! Isn't this kind of sudden?" kinakabahan na tanong ko sabay tingin tingin sa paligid, samantalang siya naman at nag shrug lang. "Hey- AAAAAAGH!"
Nagulat naman ako nung biglang may sumugod sakin. it was a person with no face pero may full na katawan, natakot naman ako sa nakita ko. It was scary dahil first time kong makakita nito.
It's attacking me! Agad akong tumayo at tumakbo palayo- nakasunod naman si Dayton sakin na nakalutang lang and looked at me seriously.
"Hindi yan ang paraan para makipaglaban ka Princess Lumine." seryosong kumento niya naman, I glared at him and continued running.
"Hindi ako na inform!" inis na sigaw ko sakanya. May dala akong bow and arrows pati na din sword- ito yung sword na hawak hawak ni Dayton kanina.
"What inform? Princess, danger is everywhere. Hindi ka talaga mai-inform." Sagot niya naman and I stopped. "Alam mong hindi kita tutulungan princess. Because If I do, you will never learn."
"Wh-what?" tanong ko sakanya.napashrug naman si Dayton at mad tiningnan ako ng madiin.
"You're weak... you may be talented but you don't know how to k-ll." Lumapit naman siya sakin. "Bakit ka nagre-rely sa iba? Bakit ka nagre-rely sakanya?"
Tanong niya ulit and looked at me in a scary way. Relying... I'm relying? "You're relying to Darkhiel... pero paano kung ikaw nalang mag-isa? who's gonna help you then?"
He continued talking at ako naman eh biglang sumakit ang ulo ko. "K-ll them, madali lang ito. If you cannot k-ll someone, you will not survive."
"Sh-shut up." Inis na sabi ko sakanya habang nakahawak padin sa ulo ko. "I c-can do this. kaya ko to."
"You can? Then remember what they did to you. remember what they said about you..." I gritted my teeth habang nagpatuloy parin sa pagsasalita si Dayton.
'Kind'
'Weak'
'Soft'
"Remember who you are, Princess. Remember who you were before you became weak."
