Naalimpungatan ako sa iilang kaluskos at subtle noise sa kwarto. Ni hindi ko pa nadidilat nang maayos ang mata ko pero ramdam ko na agad ang pananakit ng katawan ko.
Lalo na sa balikat at legs ko. Now, I regret that I didn't let the healer tend to my wounds.
Pinikit ko ang mata ko nang mariin at ini-angat ang aking ulo, pupungas-pungas pa. Sumasakit ang ulo, hindi lang ang katawan, nakatulog pala ako sa lapag habang nakadukdok sa aking tuhod.
Lumingon ako palikod at nakita ang iilang tao na binubuhat ang katawan ni Aziz. Mabilis akong tumayo at muntik ppang matumba dahil biglang umakyat lahat ng sakit sa buong katawan ko. Napaluhod ako at napahawak sa edge ng kama.
"What the hell are you doing?!" galit kong ani sa kanila.
Nagsitinginan sila sa akin at ang isa ay pabuhat na sa katawan ni Aziz na wala pa ring malay at mahimbing pa ring natutulog.
Dahan-dahan akong tumayo habang nakatitig nang masama sa kanila. "I'm asking you, what the fuck are you all doing?!"
"My lady--" the other waws about to speak but was stopped by the other guy.
Paika-ika akong lumakad at lalapitan na sana sila nang dumating ang isa sa mga taong kinamumuhian ko.
It's Brandon Brandenburg.
"Young lady, I supposed you're awake now," he says stating the obvious.
"What the hell are you doing here inside?! Did you have any permission from me? No one's allowed to enter a lady's room unless you have consent!" sigaw ko sa kanila. "And don't you fucking dare lay your hand on her, because I swear to all of the Gods...!"
Nakarinig ako ng isang tawa na tila ba nangungutya galing kay Brandon.
"That's so ironic, young lady. But we have a permission from the Queen that we can fetch this little thief maid of yours, young lady. You can't do anything about it." Sabay bato niya ng isang scroll na bumuka sa sahig, pagkabato niya.
The Palace's, Head of the Knight's and Queen's crest were on it, even the seal, na nagpapatunay na hahanapin at aarestuhin nila si Aziz, kahit nasaan man itong lupalop ng mundo.
"Put her on her own designated cell," utos niya sa lalaking nasa tabi ni Aziz.
"I said don't touch her!" galit na galit kong sigaw.
"It's so peculiar of you to say that I need your consent, wherein you let the Crown Prince sneak around here," aniya at naglakad papunta sa sliding door kung saan ang balcony.
"Was it here?" he sarcastically remarks which I just replied with a scoffed.
"And why are you still defending that maid? If you keep on doing that then I assume that you ordered her to steal those jewelries, perhaps?" Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin at tinapakan ang scroll na nasa lapag.
Ngunit biglang lumapit ang dalawang lalaki sa akin at kaagad na hinawakan ang magkabila kong braso at pilit na pinaluhod ako.
"And what? You're gonna kill me too? You think I fear death?" I bravely asked and smirked.
He smirked and walk towards me and held my jaw tightly. "No. But you fear death of your loved ones. And that's where I will start, you downfall, Marquez." Kinuyom ko ang kamao ko habang nakatingin sa kaniya nang masama.
"Transport her to her cell and make sure to punish her until she gives in and reveal all of her schemes," aniya habang nakangising nakatitig pa rin sa akin. Marahas akong itinayo ng dalawa at bakas sa aking namulang braso kung gaano nila ako kahigpit hawakan at ang kanilang mga maruruming kamay.
