Transmigrated As The Twin Villain's Stepmother(W:slow update)

"Come again?"

His deep and rough voice echoed inside the four cornered room.The authority in his tone was undeniably natural.

He sighed as he sat and leaned back at his office chair.It was then that he felt exhausted after how many days of training and working nonstop.The spirit of sleepiness was slowly gracing his consciousness but he doesn't want to succumb to it.

The man's evident adams apple bobbed up and down once as he closed his eyes for a minute of resting it.

The 1st Commander couldn't help but to glare at the man that was in front of him.He was standing straight as his hands were clasps at his back.A posture of a knight should be.

"Your wife was acting strange, your grace"ulit niya sa sinabi kanina.Suddenly,the man looked at him with a piercing crimson eyes.The way the man look was hard and is full of authority.It was very intimidating and menacing.Like a predator watching it's prey.For a second,the Commander wanted to look down at the way his General looked at him.But he knows that that was just the way he stares.It was normal if you knew him for many years.He was already used to it.

"What wife?Charmelita already died--"napatigil ang Heneral sa pagsasalita na para bang may biglang pumasok sa isipan nito.Ilang sandali pay ay agad ring bumalik ang dilim sa kanyang mukha.

The 1st Commander sighed as his thoughts graced the almost forgotten Duchess a little sympathy to the man's indifference towards her

"Yeah,your second wife,basta--your grace"minsan talaga ay hindi niya mapigilan ang bunganga niya.He almost called the General a bastard. Luckily,the General was not bothered by his insult most of the time.

Augustus,the Duke of Family Covillia and the one and only General of the Kingdom of Lourvgradiah groaned as he felt his forehead ache at the thought of the known Lady.

What a pain.

Naisip niya at napa-iling.For all the past years,ngayon lang niya ulit naalala ang pangalawang babaeng pinakasalan niya.It was a marriage for convenience.Ngali-ngali niyang patayin ang mga Elders nang iminungkahi ng mga ito na muli siyang magpakasal wala pang isang taon pagkatapos mamatay ng kanyang unang asawa.Kung hindi lang sumang-ayon roon ang Hari ay nunkang papayag siya sa nakakagalit na suhestiyong iyon.Unfortunately,it was the King who persuaded him more among the Elders. Saying,it was for strengthening his authority and power as the Duke of the North.Wala na siyang nagawa kung hindi pumayag dahil may punto naman ang mga ito.But still,he couldn't help but to feel an ounce of regret and guilt in marrying once again.

For the past years,He doesn't feel anything towards his second wife but a resentment.Resentment for being his wife and being the Duchess.That title and position should only belong to a one person,and that was his Charmelita,his one and only Charmelita.But as the years pass by,his resentment towards his second wife faded as he avoided thinking about her.Honestly,he almost forgotten the Duchess' face and so as her name kung hindi lang ito muling ipinaalala ng Commander.If he was not wrong,her name was Tharassia... Tharassia Evanice.

He hummed as he reach the glass that was situated at the top of his table and filled the half of it with a rum.

"What about that woman?"he apathetically asked his subordinate and his right hand man.

He chugged down his glass that was filled with rum in one go as he listen the Commander speak.

"She acted. . . strange when I met her at the Duchy,your grace"he was hesitant.Tumaas ang kilay ng Duke sa pagtataka pero pansin pa rin rito ang pagka-walang pakialam sa pinag-uusapan nila.

"Strange in what way?"he asked anyway.

"In a way that it almost felt like she wasn't her usual self.Na para bang ibang tao siya."
