Once, He Became An Empress[COMPLETED]

Chapter 20

When I woke up that morning I saw a small vial bottle on the bedside table. Nagtaka na kinuha ko iyon. It's glowing blue water inside. How could this be? I think it's the same as the ocean water in my dream this night.

"Rise and shine Your Majesty! Did you perhaps walk barefooted last night?" Bungad sa akin ni Freya.

"Why would I be?"

"Then why are these microscopic sands on the floor?" Taka niyang tanong habang taimtim na sinusuri ang sahig. Napabuntong hininga nalang ako, si Freya nga pala itong kaharap ko.

"Where? I don't see any?"

"Here, Empress." She guides me up to step barefoot on the floor. Saka ko naramdaman ang ilang magagaspang na texture niyon. Mabilis na tiningnan ko ang sahig, eye level. There really is a trace of sand!

Nanlaki ang matang napatingin ako kay Freya at sa maliit na vial na naglalaman ng kulay blue na tubig na ngayon ay hawak ko na.

What the hell is this?

"Lev, did you use your magic on me last night?" Tanong ko kay Lev habang magisa akong nagtatsaa sa balkonahe ng mansion ko. Lev is sitting in front of me reading a demonic book, I don't know if he's already cursing someone with his serious face right now. The dude is too focused.

"Ano ka diamond?" Sagot ng balahura.
Kusang gumalaw paitaas ang mata ko sa pagkairita sa kanya.

"Then you don't? Damn dude, I'm just asking a Yes or No question."

Last night is very strange. Is it not just a dream? Urgh. Come to think of it, If I am not mistaken the Laquerriere bloodline possessed prowess when it comes to magic. The Laquerriere bloodline comes at the top since they are at the top of the food chain.

Then Fisk as well...

"Believe in what you want to believe," Leviathan said meaningfully.

"Tell me, Lev, what is the current Emperor's ability?" Ani ko. Sinara niya ang librong binabasa niya at nilapag sa lamesa.

"You are not aware?" Sabi niya.

"Perhaps something for me to be aware of?"

"Your husband contains no power."
Sabi niya. Napatigil ako. Nabura lahat ng nasa isip tungkol kay Fisk at mga pagdududa ko sa kanya.

"Are you...lying to my face just now?" Binato ko sa kanya ang baso ng tsaa na siyang kusa namang tumalsik palayo sa kanya.

"It's up to you to believe me or not though. You know what I'm capable of." He shrugged.

"Capable of lying, I know."

"How dare a mortal doubt this demon's honesty?" Aniya na kunwari ay napapahawak sa dibdib niya at nagdaramdam.

"Question answered." I sighed.

Kung wala ngang kapangyarihan si Fisk, paano ko maipapaliwanag ang nangyari noong gabing halikan niya ako, like I saw hell through his lips. And last night? How do I explain it to myself then?

Tiningnan kong muli ang hawak kong vial, It's still a glowing blue in color.

"If he doesn't possess a magical power? Is he perhaps cursed or what?"

Tok! Tok!

"Your Majesty, an invitation letter from the house of Nostrandia. "

Napakunot ang noo ko nang marinig ko si Lady Ezra. Nostrandia? Saan ko ba narinig o nabasa ang pangalan na iyan?

Inantay kong lumapit sa akin si Ezra saka niya iniabot ang sobre na naka sealed.

An invitation letter from the Lord of Nostrandia household. Exhibit?
