BC # 4: Breaking Commandment

CHAPTER 5

A/N: As much as possible, gusto ko muna talagang ipakita ang growth ni Reich. Manawa kayo sa lovestory sa bandang gitna. Hmpk.

I DECIDED to just do a exercise routine and boxing for the whole session because I can feel that I might faint anytime if I do extreme ones. I need to recover fast or my body will fail me. It is just a matter of time... It may be hard but I need to.

With the seriousness of my situation, I just need to focus on my health for now. I can't keep up with their pace as long as my body is frail.

"Are you okay? Your face is all red." Komento ni Pietro na tumatawa.

"My first day is all about exercise and foods." I rolled my eyes and continued eating a lot.

"Are you seeing your psychiatrist, Herzogin?" Bernardo asked as he sat down infront of me. "I hope you are."

"I am." I proudly said and flipped my air. "Eversince I started with my treatment, I'm doing okay. I'm gaining weight!" I stood up and flexed my arms. "Look how my arms got thick and strong!"

"Yeah, we can see that. That's good. You're doing great, Herzogin." Pietro smiled and showed his thumbs up.

I like being praised by them because here in the Philippines, people see me as someone special. Someone commendable. Unlike in Germany.

"What's with the sudden change of mood?" Bernardo continued to ask. He likes asking me. Again and again and again.

"Nothing. I just... Thought about Germany..." I whispered and sat down. My mood suddenly fell.

"You have three more months before coming back there, Herzogin." Pang-aalo ni Pietro na ikinangiti ko. "We'll train you as long as we stay here. Then, you can show Prizessin how strong you become. Does it sound good?"

"Really? You think Mama will like it?" I smiled.

"Yes. Who wouldn't be proud of you, Herzogin? I'm sure you'll get stronger so you need to focus on yourself, okay?"

"Can I start with the basics after I eat? You know, it is weekends. I can train a lot more. Kahit unti lang?" I showed them my puppy eyes. Kahit sana simple defense lang. I bet I can endure physical training. I'm confident.

"Are you sure?" Bernardo asked. Nanaman. He really is concern with my welfare.

"I am. I'm not a kid." I pouted and looked at them with jokingly dead eyes.

"Yes, you are not." Bernardo retorted with sarcasm and stood up. "Since you are not familiar with guns. And Pietro is the last one who will teach you, I can teach you basic combat skills."

"You will?" My eyes lit up. I'm sure they did.

"Do you know about boot camps?" Suddenly, Pietro leaned and whispered. "Bernardo taught those soldiers. The dangerous ones."

"He did?" Hindi ko makapaniwalang sabi bago tumingin kay Bernardo at ibalik iyon kay Pietro.

"Quit the bickering." Bernardo stopped us with his famous death glare as he quickly stood up in front of Pietro and tackled him as hard as he could. "First, pay attention. You won't last long in the battle field if you won't."

"Kuya! You didn't have to push me to the ground!" Reklamo naman ni Pietro habang ang suot na sapatos ni Bernardo ay nasa mukha nito. Ganito ba talaga sila magbonding?

"You didn't pay attention. I was just showing our highness the importance of it." Bernardo smirked and pinned him more. "See, Herzogin? The more you pin your opponent, the more stronger they will get to resist your hold. So you gotta pin them until they die."
