Lately, father had been busier than ever so he entrusted me with Reagan, he isn't satisfied to leave me alone with the maids for some reason. Narinig ko lang na may conflict daw na nangyayari ngayon sa kabilang imperyo dahil namatay yung king nila. La Develtara would be affected since they were allied countries and their empress refused to become the next ruler.

She wanted to announce throne ascension for her son who's age is only a year old baby.

"Have you seen their son, Reagan?"

Mataman lang akong nakikinig sa usapan ng dalawa kong kapatid sa loob ng kwarto ni Reagan. My eldest brother seems to know something that Rowan didn't kaya di na matigil sa kakatanong.

Reagan sighed. "Yes."

"Seriously? Wala ngang may alam na nagkaanak pala sila ng namayapang emperor, they never revealed it in public. What's wrong with her? A baby can't rule a whole empire yet."

Exactly. Child abuse pa nga yon kung ang basehan ng batas ay gaya ng sa dati kong mundo eh. Ang aga aga nilang pinagkaitan yung bata na maging bata. But I guess, it was normal sa mga royalties as they hold duties and responsibilities but not this one, this is terrible.

"Miwk!"

My stomach was growling already kaya tinuro ko yung walang laman na baby bottle. Agad namang naintindihan ni Rowan yon at inutusan yung maid sa labas na magtimpla ng gatas.

Rowan lifted me up and chuckled. "Minsan nakakatakot na talaga si Lily, bro. Baby palang magaling na mang-utos, aren't you wondering? Auntie told me that a baby usually start to speak between 12 and 18 months after they born."

"And? Lily will be a year old next day."

Birthday... Father told me that he'll throw a party for my birthday celebration, it also has a purpose of introducing me with this empire. Time surely fly fast, it's been one year.

"Yeah, but she's really on another level. I expected her to just blabber some words and acted like a cute baby but she never did." Rowan stick out his tongue to me.

I just ignored that childish act. Hindi ko pa siya kayang patulan at kung kaya ko man, still hindi ko parin siya papatulan. He's just a waste of time.

"Stop being jealous, man. Porke hindi ka pinanganak na cute at matalino, kay Lily ka na maglalabas ng sama ng loob."

Nang makita ko yung maid at yung bitbit niyang baby bottle milk, I extended my arms again to get it. Then she helped me latched unto it but as soon as I did that, Naibuga ko yung gatas sa leeg ni Reagan. My mouth is burning, halos maluha narin ako dahil mainit pa yung gatas na binigay sakin.

"What the fuck is happening to her? Is she choking? Call the physician right away!"

Pagtapos gawin ni Rowan yung utos ng kapatid ko, binalikan niya yung maid na nakayuko at nakaluhod na sa sahig ngayon. "Naglagay ka ba ng lason sa gatas ni Lily? Do you want her dead?"

Rowan easily jump to conclusions. He didn't even check the baby bottle, nambintang agad without the evidence. "No, that's not it. Mainit pa yung gatas ni Lily." Ani Reagan na katatapos lang tikman yung gatas na binigay sakin

I felt relieved when the physician treated me with cold compress. Pagtapos, binawi ko yung baby bottle sa kamay ni Reagan at chineck kung mainit parin yung gatas. Nang maramdaman ko na hindi na, ininom ko na ulit yon.
