Marry The Second Male Lead

Aleria 5

"Ohh, so they all thought that I died and my name is already written in the book of history as a fallen hero?" Hindi makapaniwalang ani ni Ruan. "Huh, amazing."

"He searched for your whereabouts for years—"

"But even so, how did he able to clean my dirt?" She cut him of. The dirt she is referring to is about the Royalties. Krypton might not even consider giving Aleria a title after her death even for a mere soldier. And he is stronger than anyone else in 7 warriors who else could defeat him? He is not the Male lead for nothing.

Khalil look at her guiltily. His family didn't intervene when Aleria's family is sentenced of two generation of execution for defying and treason of the Kingdom which they didn't do in the first place nor they received the support that they needed to protect their selves from the royalties.

Pero hindi naman niya masisisi ang mga ito kung nais nilang huwag nang manghimasok sa pamilya Nahara.

Ganoon pa man, sa nalaman ni Ruan, medyo gumaan ang pakiramdam niya sa sitwasyon. Pero alam niyang may mas malalim pa na rason kung bakit siya tinanghal na patay at isang bayani. Maaaring isa rin itong bitag para sa kaniya.

"He declared war against the Kéntron Kingdom along with the Western Kingdom." Bagsak ang labi na tiningnan ni Ruan si Khalil. Anong? She look at him questioningly. But he keep his silence.

"The five Kingdoms is not the same as before anymore." Carol said nonchalantly. She cross her arms on her chest and look at her seriously.

"You might still want to avenge your family and yourself after all this time but darling the world is mess up enough for you to add more on it—"

"Carol!" Sita ng kaniyang kapatid na si Cruzo.

"What?" Mataray nitong ani sa kapatid. Naiirita nitong hinawakan ang leeg na ngayon ay makinis nang muli.

"She's right." Khalil stood up and glanced at her place.

"Well, as promised I'll give you your prize." Ruan change the topic. She opened her palm to give them the pill that could kill any poison. She discovered that their meridians were poisoned and the thing that they needed in that Island is the Enchanted flower that only grow on top of the cave of vengeance.

After spending some time in the Island, she also relearned the art of making pills. And when she discovered the flower, she didn't hesitate to used it as an experiment. 

"Your war had ended many years ago." He paused. After taking the pills from her hand." Aleria, you should be on your own now and start anew."

If they still want to go back there for the cave, she doesn't care. 

At limang taon mahigit na ang nakalilipas pagkatapos ng usapang iyon. After helping her out of the Island they left her in a small town.

"Limang daang copper lang para sa misyong ito?"

Inis na tiningnan ng matabang lalaki si Ruan at aroganteng inilapag ang coin pouch sa mesa dahilan para lumikha ito ng mga tunog. Umismid pa ang labi nito na halos natatabunan ng kaniyang makapal na balbas.

Malamig na tiningnan ni Ruan ang coin pouch. Isa itong malaking insulto sa standard niya! Akala ba ng matandang ito ay isa siyang pipitsuging cultivator na babayaran niya lang ng ganito kaliit na halaga‽

Mahinang sinipa ni Ruan ang silyang katabi nito. Nagulat ang lalaki at bahagyang napasandal. Mas lalo tuloy nahalata ang malaki nitong tiyan.

"I-kaw! Ang lakas naman n-ng loob mo para magreklamo! Hindi ko nga alam kung magagawa mo ang misyong ipinagagawa ko!" Dinuro siya ng matanda habang hindi makapaniwalang kaya niyang tanggihan ang limang daang copper. Huh!
