Reborn as the Tyrant's Son

Chapter 36

Chapter 36

"Young Lady Daivat has been escorted safely back to her home."

Eunice smiled at what Fred reported.

"That's good to hear." Tango-tango niya bago nilingon ang kapatid na tahimik lamang simula pa kanina. Her gaze then landed at her nephew.

Loki's quietly sleeping at Sigyn's bed. Their Empress is beside him, sitting, as she stared at her own son who's finally at peace for today.

Hera, on the other hand, is sitting near Loki's feet that's currently covered by a blanket.

Hera pouted as she looked at Iris who's standing beside Eunice. "What happened to my cute but not so bloody little brother?"

Iris sighed before she told everyone what really happened that time. Nang matapos ay natahimik na siya, quietly observing their ruler na hindi kumikibo. Hindi niya alam kung narinig ba nito ang kwinento niya dahil wala itong reaksyon sa mga sinabi ni Iris.

Hera hummed. "Where's that maid, then?"

"She's in the dungeon." Fred answered. "What should we do to the maid, Your Imperial Majesty?"

Hera looked at her mother as they all waited for her reply pero tahimik pa rin ito.

Akala nila'y hindi siya sasagot but she did.

"Heathrania."

She called for her only daughter na mabilis na lumapit sa kaniya to listen to what she'll say.

"Take care of the maid. Do whatever you like to her, just don't kill her."

Hera's eyes twinkled. "Of course! How could I give that lowly thing an easy death when because of her, my cute but not so bloody brother got hurt." She huffed before dashing out of the room with Fred to escort her to the dungeons.

"Leave." Utos ni Sigyn.

Kaagad na sumunod sila Iris at Eunice sa utos ng kanilang Empress. It was only Sigyn and a sleeping Loki left inside her room.

She slowly held Loki's small hands as tears started to fall from her purple jewel-like eyes. Quiet sobs left her lips, her body trembling as fear started to show from her pretty face.

She was so worried.

She was so scared.

She was so disappointed, but not to anyone. She's disappointed in herself.

Her gaze landed on the necklace that Loki's wearing kaya mas napaiyak siya lalo.

She knows. She knows that she was never fit to be a mother. She's weak. She don't know what to do. Hindi niya alam ang gagawin. She's a coward.

Because of her cowardice, she abandoned her own children at the start.

Because of her, her youngest nearly saw the death of someone important to him. He nearly experience the kind of thing that a kid should never experience at all.

If only she was there, that wouldn't have happened. If only she played her role as a mother from the very start...

If only he was here, this wouldn't have happened at all.

"I'm sorry I failed as a mother, Lokesio. Forgive me, child."

"Where am I...?" Kunot noong tanong ni Loki while looking around.

He's currently in an open space place with a lot of tents na nakatayo. May mga lamesa pa siyang nakita na punong-puno ng iba't ibang klase ng mga armas. Mabuti na lamang at walang tao rito kaya ligtas siya kahit papaano.
