Suddenly having a Dragon Daughter

Chapter 18: That Person is Not What They Seem

(Acacius POV)

"That's weird, I thought naramdaman ko saglit ang kapangyarihan na iyon." Napatingin naman ako kay Vishuvac habang nakaupo sa may sofa.

While Rhett is just staring at the ring. "Wala akong naramdaman ... nararamdaman niyo pero ako hindi." Mahinang sabi ni Rhett.

I'm Acacius Hawthor, just a dragon like these two. Ako ay tagapagmuno ng Bluestone kingdom and yet here I am with this two angry...angry birds.

Trying to solve kung nasaan na nga ang kapangyarihan ni Rhett. He said he didn't rememeber, ang naalala niya lang ay nagising sa isang kama na wala na ang kapangyarihan.

Actually not all, may natira pa rin siya which is still powerful. Pero kailangan naming makuha ang kapangyarihan niya upang bumalik ang posisyon namin ni Vishuvac.

This is because people are gre-edy for power. Since Rhett lost half of his power, the aristocrats started making a move sa posisyon niya.

They would be moving for us next and it's been 8 years... mas lalo silang lumakas and we're getting weaker. Kaya gumawa na kami ng paraan upang mahanap namin ang kapangyarihan ni Rhett.

Gabi na't kanina pa kami nagdiscuss tungkol sa kung saan napunta ang kapangyarihan ni Rhett.

"Siguro dahil may h-ngover ka kanina? Duh? Your mind probably ignored that feeling." Inis na sabi ni Vishuvac kay Rhett.

I sighed at uminom nalang ng kape because this two are stressing me out. "I would have known, since kapangyarihan ko yon." Diin na sagot ni Rhett kay Vishuvac.

"Seryoso ko bang wala kang naaalala? Just the ring? Really? Hindi iyan makakatulong pag ang singsing lang ang lead natin." Vishuvac argued.

"Please, can you both not scream while talking? May mga tenga tayo, our ears are sensitive." Awat ko nalang, baka mag-away na naman sila tulad kahapon na muntik ng masira ang palasyo.

"Lord Rhett, now sabihin mo saakin ulit ang nangyari ng gabing yon." Dagdag ko nalang. He glared at me and sighed, he needs to explain it sooner or later.

"I don't remember ok? My head is fuzzy! diba muntik na akong ma engage nung gabing yun? The lady I'm engaged with put something in my drink..." inis na paliwanag niya.

Despite dragons na may sensitibong amoy, once the 'thing' (Aphr-dis-acs po ang ibig sabihin ni Acacius dito. Q.A.M) mixed with alcohol.

You won't be able to smell it. may sensitibong pang amoy at pandinig kami, kaya mabilis kaming maging alerto pag may nangyari.

"Tas di ko maalala ang nangyari, akala ko nga siya ang kumuha ng kapangyarihan ko pero I confronted that b-t-ch a few times. Wala padin akong nararamdaman galing sakanya." he continued.

"Atsaka buti nalang at nawalan ako ng kapangyarihan, I was forced to be engaged with that son of a b-t-ch's daughter. HAAA- marriage s-cks." dagdag niya.

Nagtinginan naman kami ni Vishuvac. "Pero naalala mo yung singsing?" tanong naman ni Vishuvac sabay krus ng legs niya.

"probably, I don't know. Pero I know for sure na ang singsing na ito ay matagal nang wala doon sa village na yon, this was passed unto so many people because it smelled weird." Napatahimik naman kaming lahat.

Aaahh, wala kaming patutunguhan nito. We've been looking pero Rhett prefers playing around. "I can't believe na pwede palang mawala ang kapangyarihan mo." Sabi ni Vishuvac.

"I know right? Wala din tayong alam sa mga dragon and people are too gr--dy, fr-ck can't I just enjoy my life freely without problems?" inis na sang-ayon ni Rhett.

"We have no choice." Sabi ko nalang. "Pero that person na hawak ang kapangyarihan mo, they seem to know how to hide it."

"Paano mo naman yan nasabi?" Vishuvac asked while raising here eyebrows. "We all know na tayong tatlo nalang ang dragon dito. How come they know?"

"Hindi ko alam. But that person... is strong and smart."

(Candy's POV)

"Achooo!" agad ko naman pinunasan ang sipon na lumalabas sa ilong ni Caramel, she kept sneezing a few times na.

"Nilalamig ka ba?" tanong ko sakanya at umiling naman siya, hays it's been a long day. Hindi ko na tinanong si Cara tungkol sa nangyari doon sa inside garden ni Lord Rhett.

Gusto ko kasing kusa niyang sabihin sakin pero she didn't tell me so I guess hindi pa siya ready na ipaliwanag sakin ang nangyari kanina.

I'm actually fine with it, tinuruan kasi ako ni mama na mag-antay. So mag-aantay ako sa paliwanag niya. "Someone is probably referring to you or mentioning you somewhere."

Nakita ko naman siya ngumiti sabay tawa. Nakahiga na pala kami ngayon, iisa lang ang bed but it was big. Tsaka malaki din yung room, para siyang bahay instead of just a maid's room.

"Talaga mama? Who would be mentioning me in their story? Hehe. Di naman nila ako kilala." Niyakap ko naman siya. tas naalala ko yung nangyari kahapon...

Cara inday mentioned... his father. "Anak, hindi ka ba magtatanong tungkol sa ama mo?" actually I've been wondering why she's not asking me this.

"Mama is enough, are you worried of what I said kahapon po? Wag kang mag-alala mama, I was just joking." Mahinang sagot niya sabay lagay ng maliliit na kamay niya sa pisngi ko.

I smiled naman dahil super cute ng ginawa niya. She really didn't ask anything tungkol sa ama niya... pero I'm glad that she think of me na I was enough.

But sooner or later, she'd crave for a father's love too. Kaso di ko din kilala kung sino yung kajug-jugan ko so malay ko. Whatever...

-KINABUKASAN-

"Nalala mo ba ang sinabi ko Cara inday? You will be helping Lady Nadia sa paglilinis sa mga kwarto dito sa maid's chamber. Mama will be working with the King." Sabi ko sakanya.

Kitang kita ko ang malamig na tingin niya dahil ayaw niya akong matrabaho don. "Mama, did that guy force you-"

"No, don't overthink anak. I'm fine with it since malaki laki ang..." di ko tinapos ang sinabi ko and show her a hand sign. Agad niya naman itong naintindihan.

"Then I will also do my best mama." I smiled and kissed her goodbye. Nagsimula na akong umalis patungo sa kwarto ni Lord Rhett.

Nadia already instructed me of things to do, since ako ang personal maid niya. He better be a good amo dahil hindi ako mabait pag di mabait ang amo ko.

Kumatok na ako sa pintuan niya, he will probably regret taking me as his personal maid.... alam niyo naman na seryoso ako sa trabaho ko.

When I heard na walang sumagot, sinipa ko na ang pinto pabukas. "RISE AND SHINE LORD RHETT!" sigaw ko sabay pasok at bukas ng bintana. "I have conditions, but first let me know your name."

Ayaw kong magtrabaho sa isang amo na di ko alam ang buong pangalan.
