The Warm Song for your Cold Heart

Chapter 24

Since that day pumupunta punta na dito si Rodorigo. I don't know the reason why but I guess he is waiting on Veronica.

I am sitting under the tree eating an apple while reading. Then the prince is swinging his sword at the same time he is counting every swing.

"Prince bakit dito ka nagp-practice? Eh puwede naman dun sa kastilyo Im sure malaki ang training ground dun"_Me

"Paano sabihin to.. I don't like crowded places"_Rodorigo

I face palm at humarap sa kaniya "Your lie is obvious"_Me

"Oh? Ano pa ba ang ipapaliwanag ko? Wala akong naisip"

I sigh "Ewan ko sayo.. hindi mo lang talaga gustong sabihin but its fine. I wont force you with it"_Me

Tumayo na ako at kumuha ng sanga ng kahoy "Lemme join you"_Me

"Marunong ka?"

I smile confidently "Oo naman, ako pa"_Me

I swing the sword (sanga ng kahoy) and take a deep breath. Lets do what Sir Venn taught you about his sword art.

Kaya I start to swing my sword (sanga ng kahoy) with a movements "Wait is that--"

Napatigil ako at tumingin kay Rodorigo the Prince. "Huh? Did you say something?"_Me

"Is that my brother--"

"Yeah? Any problem?" Taka kong tanong

"Only my brother itself know about it and he didn't teach anybody else that movements. Its his style why you know about it?" He said at sa mukha niya ay kitang kita ang shock.

"Ahh, tinuro niya saakin nung nasa holy temple ako at nakasama ko siya kaya yun"_Me

"He taught you?"

I nod "I see, make sense and why did he taught you? I wonder.."_Him

"Because I requested to? Then he taught me.."_Me

He look at me seriously at parang kinakilatis ako "Is there something wrong Prince?"

He smiled "No. No problem, anyway why won't we do a duel?"

"Eh?? Ngayon?"_Me

"Yes"_Him

I didn't expect na sinabi niya yun, well wala naman masamang mangyari right? If we try..

"O-oh okay" Sabi ko kaya binigay niya saakin ang isang waster.(Wooden sword)

"Get ready"_Him

Kaya I hold the wooden sword and take a breath. "Im ready prince"_Me

Nauna itong umatake kaya hinarang ko ang sword for defence kaya napaatras ito. Our wooden swords intertwine at each other and this duel turn into serious.

In the end I defeated by him "Not expected to the Prince" Sabi ko na nakaupo sa sahig at hingal ng hingal

Umupo naman ito sa tabi ko "To be honest you are good too Miss Luna."_Him

"Talaga? Hehe.. thanks"_Me

"Anyway why won't we do it again sometime?"_Him

Napatingin naman ako sa kaniya ng kakaloka "Wala ka na talagang ibang kasama diyan na makalaban mo? Ako ba talaga? At babae pa."_Me

"Wala naman problema kung babae ka, we talk about how good you are"_Him

"I refuse, I won't do it again."

"Ehh? Why? It is fun" He said at hindi makapaniwala

"Just no.."

"Why?"
