The Forgotten Princess Extravagant Entrance

Chapter 14: Destined Part 2

"Uugghh!"

Daing ulit nung lalaki habang nakahawak sa bandang tiyan niya.

"Ah! For goodness' sake, you clearly needed help." Kahit ayaw nung lalaki ay lumapit pa rin ako sakaniya at hinanap yung kung anuman dinadaing niya. "Where the heck is the wound?"

"No! You're a child."

"What does me being a child have to do with this? Will you just tell me what happened?! And besides, aren't you too a child?"

"I am not a child. I'm already 14."

"Hey, anyone who is under the age of 18 is still considered a child."

"Well, not for me... Ugghh!"

"Nevermind your age. Will the two of you keep on arguing or what?" Ayan. Napagsabihan pa tuloy kami ni Ian.

"Sorry." Sabay naming hingi ng paumanhin.

"But big brother, where did you get hurt?" Pagtatanong ni Ian.

Pinakita naman niya yung malaking sugat niya sa may bandang tiyan. Ian and I both gasped upon seeing the blood.

"How could a 14-year-old boy get such a wound like that?"

"You don't need to know that." I just rolled my eyes.

"With a wound that big, you have to go to a hospital or something. Do you want us to call someone?" Hindi rin kasi ako sure kung may hospital ba dito.

"No. No. Somebody will look for me and pick me up. That's why you two should go now."

"Are you sure? Then, use this to cover your wounds for a while. This is better than using your hands."

Tinanggal ko yung suot kong robe para yun yung gamitin niyang pantapal sa sugat niya. I mean, he may be wearing dark clothes, but they are already soaked with his blood.

"Sister, your hair." Bulong saakin ni Ian. At doon ko lang na-realized yung ginawa ko. Napatingin ako doon sa lalaki at tulad ng inaasahan ko ay gulat siya sa buhok ko.

"Yes, I have silver hair. Now get over it." Mukhang natauhan naman siya sinabi ko.

"Who are you?"

"Me? I am just a simple passerby." Pagpapalusot ko. "Since you said that someone would fetch you here, I assume that it is okay for us to leave you here, right? Well then, please excuse our useless asses."

Tsaka ko hinila si Ian paalis doon. Narinig pa namin na nagwait yung lalaki pero hindi na namin siya nilingon. Bahala siya doon.

"What about your hair, sister?" Paalala ni Ian. "You could use my hat in the meantime."

Kaya ang ending, sinuot ko yung sombrero ni Ian. Tinago ko ng mabuti yung buhok ko, yung tipong hindi makikita. Habang si Ian naman ay naglakad nang nakapikit para hindi makita yung kulay ng mata. Pero siyempre, inaalalayan ko siya habang naglalakad. Mukha kaming timang.

Pagkabalik namin, malamang pinagalitan kami ni Cynthia. Ngayon, nagdadalawang isip siya kung isasama pa ba niya kami sa susunod na aalis siya.

We said our sorry but as a punishment, pinag-garden niya kami. Although, hindi naman talaga punishment ito para saakin. Haha!

Habang nagdidilig, hindi ko mapigilan na maalala yung mga sinabi nung fortune teller. Yung ang dami ko na ngang problema, dinagdagan niya pa ako ng iisipin.

Whoever my destined one is, sumasakit na ulo ko sayo ni hindi pa nga tayo nagkikita. And what does she mean by me being the light? Was that something to do with the flickering lights I sometimes see?

"Aahh.. whatever." Baka mamaya hindi totoo yung fortune teller na iyun eh. But how the hell she knows my name?

Tinigil ko na yung pagdidilig. Sa lalim ng iniisip ko ay nalunod na yung mga tanim namin. Nadako naman tingin ko doon kay Ian na kasalukuyang natutulog sa ilalim ng puno. Mukhang napagod siya kanina nung nagpunta kaming market.

Kinuha ko na yung basket ko dahil sa pupunta akong Euthoria castle. The castle is currently empty because Chester is in Adrana Kingdom. And while he was away, he let me take care of his garden.

Kaya naman ngayon ay papunta ako roon para bisitahin saglit yung garden. Pagkalusot ko doon sa secret passageway ko ay napatingin ako sa kabuuan ng garden.

It is still beautiful. Lagi kaya ako bumibisita dito. Kaya lang bigla akong napadapa para magtago nang may mapansin akong lalaking nakatayo sa harap ng castle.

No one is allowed to enter here, aside from me. But what is he doing here?

Buti nalang at nakatalikod siya sa kung nasaan ako. The young man I saw had dark blue hair. And among the people in the palace, there could be only one, and that is the second prince, Callum Jiro Yusian.

... the dark magician.
