She Fell In Love With The Devil's Smile

CHAPTER 22

"Alam mo pag kalaban ako, hinatid mo na sa kamatayan yang amo mo!"

Sabi ko kay kelly sabay kuha ko sa kutsilyong tinutok ko sa kanyang leeg.
Yep! I threatened her! Why not? Ayaw mag kwento ni Celine! Si nara naman walang alam! Mabuti nalang yung lady in waiting niya, alam ang buong kwento. Close nga sila!

"Kaya nga sinabi ko po sainyo, kase hindi kayo kalaban."

Sagot nito. Celine trust her a lot that she even knew what others doesn't, so of course she's trustworthy! I bet she's even willing to risk her life to protect her master.

"Sege na. Makakaalis kana."

Sabi ko at agad naman siyang lumabas ng kwartong ito na sinundan ko naman at bumalik narin sa sariling silid. Parang walang sugat lang diba? Ang likot! Haha! Basta may katanungan kase sa isip ko, dapat masagot agad! Hindi ako mapapakali pag hindi eh!

"But i still can't believe she did it!"

napa buntong hininga nalang ako. Kelly told me that celine did everything to find me. She sent letters to dad and mom about the condition and when she received the message that dad didn't agree, she went back to madrigalaz city with a horse with no rest and had reached in just 3 days, exhausted. But even with her persuasion, dad didn't agree, nor did mom. She even tried to steal it but in vain, she couldn't find its location and she was sent back a day after she went back.

"Your highness! Pinapatawag napo kayo sa baba para sa hapunan."

Biglang pumasok ng silid si nara. Abot tenga ang ngiti nitong sinalubong ako.

"Pinayagan na sa wakas ako ni lady amye na magsilbi sa tabi mo."

Nakangiting sabi nito. Ano namang masaya sa pagiging tagasilbi ng iba?
Pero kung sabagay! Nobela ito! At yun ang nakasulat na tungkulin niya.

Pagkababa ko ay agad akong dumiritso sa dining table. Dito dalawa lang ang tagasilbi na nakatayo sa gilid, di tulad ng sa mansion namin ay madaming maids ang nakatayo sa gilid at handang pagsilbihan ka ano mang oras. Apat rin lang kaming nakaupo sa mesa. Nakalimutan ko! Aunt amye is infertile. She can't give birth kaya wala kaming cousins sa side niya.

"Ahhh!"

Napatingin ako kay uncle henry ng sinubukan nitong subuan si aunt amye. Matalim naman siyang tiningnan ni aunt amye dahilan para subuin niya nalang ang balak niya sanang isubo kay aunt amye. Nakakatawa talaga siya!

"I heard from celine that your good at martial arts?"

Biglang tanong ni aunt amye. Right! Clementine is indeed good at it! But i, lucky isn't!

"Opo. Pero noon yun."

Napakunot ang noo ni aunt amye sa sinabi ko.

"You see, after kong ma kidnap, they destroyed my martial arts using a strange pill, so i can't even hold a sword now."

Sabi ko. Mukhang may napala din ang pagkawala ko! Magkakaroon na ako ng rason kung bakit hindi ako marunong gumamit ng sandata!

"Pill? Anong klaseng gamot ang kayang sumira ng natutunan sa pakikipaglaban?"

Tanong ni uncle henry.

"H-hindi ko rin po alam tito eh! Pero base sa narinig ko, rare daw yun. Pahihinain ang lakas mo, kalilimutan ng katawan mo ang paraan at hasa mo sa pagkikipaglaban. Ganun daw epekto nun!"

Sabi ko. Hays! Pwede na nga akong maging writer sa lagay nato! Wahaha!

"Kapag yang klaseng gamot nayan ay ginamit nila upang labanan ang hukbo ng kasalukuyang emperor, siguradong mananalo sila."

Sabi ni uncle henry.

"Wala naman tayong dapat ipag-alala, kakasabi lang ni clementine, its a rare item!"

Sabi ni celine. Nice said girl! Hindi ko alam! Nawawala na ang inis ko sakanya! Maybe because she saved me. But why did she even hated clementine in the first place? Was it because she's a bastard child?
But if that's the reason, then why would she do everything to save me?
Because i once saved her?

"Pero tanda mo pa ba ang daan papasok ng forbidden territory?"

Tanong ni aunt amye. Natahimik ako. I didn't get out of that place by myself! I was unconscious remember! How can i know?

"Tita, have you forgot? Hating Gabi natin siya natagpuan. Also, you might not know this but clementine has bad vision at night."

Sabi ni celine. Yung pag singit niya sa mga usapan ngayon, useful na. Di tulad ng dati na ginagawa niya lang yun para awayin o surahin ako.

"Then have you perhaps seen the face of the lord of the forbidden territory?"

Muling tanong nito. Hindi ako makasagot. Nagdadalawang isip ako! Should i tell her?

"I-i didn't."

Sagot ko. His a villain lucky! Why do you even try to protect his identity? Sooner or later, he'll be the reason why this world will fall into chaos! Dapat sinabi mo nalang! Maybe, you can atleast prevent that day to happen!

Pero, ano na kayang ginagawa niya?
Bat ba iniisip ko pa siya? I bet he's planning how to execute his schemes!

"He's always wearing a cloak everytime i see him, and besides, I've only encountered him twice."

Dugtong ko. Im getting more and more good at lying now! I dont even know why im trying to protect a ticking bomb!

"Sege na tama nayan. Kumain ta tayo."

Singit ni uncle henry saka nilagyan na ng kanin ang pinggan ko na pinasalamatan ko naman.

"Thank you po aunt amye."

Pasalamat ko naman kay aunt amye ng lagyan ako nito ng mas malaking piraso ng ulam kesa kay uncle henry na ngayon ay nakasimangot na nakatingin ay aunt amye. Gustong magpasoyo. Sus! Pati ba naman ito ayaw niyang magpatalo? Hahaha ang cute talaga nila.

-

"Celine!"

Tawag ko kay celine ng makitang wala ng tao sabay lapit dito at niyakap ito ng mahigpit.

"Thank you."

Sabi ko. Pabalik na sana ako ng silid ng makasalubong ko ito at maisipang magpasalamat. She always show's how much she hates me but she's also the one who did everything just to saved me. Maybe, this is what they say, cold on the outside but warm on the inside?

"Get off me clementine! I only did it to repay you! After all! You also saved me once! Now were even!"

Sabi nito saka marahan akong itinulak sa pagkakayakap sakanya. Napangiti nalang ako. Anyways, for what ever reason it is, she still save me.

Pero napaka flawless ng plano niya ah! Isang bagong celine ang nakita ko sakanya na hindi itinala sa nobela!
She ordered one of Damien's men to disguise as a thief, for two weeks, all he did was steal treasures from the houses of the nobles and rich. In that two weeks, she search the possible place where the topography map of end city was located. After she confirmed its location, the next target of that thief was the davillara residence. That's why no one suspected it was her who stole it. No evidence were even found that it was connected to her.

Then the next day, i was sent to danra city by damien, they all made it look that i was chased by his men and got unconscious halfway after getting injured. Even my injury! They found a sleeping powder on it which made them conclude that the arrow that hit me has sleeping powder making me unconscious, luckily, i manage to reach the inn they were staying, on their point of view, it was a coincidence, on celine and Damien's point of view, it was all part of their plan. May labanan pa ngang naganap sa pagitan ng kawal na dala nina tita amye at sa pagitan ng mga kawal ni damien.

Isa si celine sa mga taong delikadong maging kalaban. Hindi mo alam, isang araw malalaman mo nalang na matagal ka na pala niyang pinapaikot sa perpekto nitong plano. Mabuti nalang talaga at kakampi siya.
