Reborn as the Tyrant's Son

Chapter 57

Chapter 57

"Archery competition?"

Hera blinked as she heard those words from her brothers na inaayusan siya.

She's now wearing a male clothing na pinahiram sa kaniya ni Hades dahil sa kanilang apat, medyo mas malapit ang size niya kay Hera since Loki's clothes are too small for her, while Ares' is too tall for his clothes to fit her.

"Yes, that's what Mother said." Hades replied.

"May prize ba 'to?" She asked, nearly stabbing Ares who dodged her swiftly before gripping Hera's hands tightly while glaring at her dahil sa inis.

Loki hummed happily. "Yes! The one who will win will be the first one to hang out with Mama tomorrow!"

He's excited, halata naman na.

He's been jumping around since earlier, the smile on his lips never leaving.

Hera gasped, eyes twinkling in the information that was given to her. "Really?!"

She grew excited too, jumping around with Loki who nodded his head with so much ebullient.

"A time with Mommy!"

"What's so exciting about that?" Ares rolled his eyes, trying to hide the fact that he's also excited about it. He's adamant in winning this one, and Hades saw through that.

"Let's go! Let's go, go, go!" Hera pulled Ares' hands, wanting to start the competition immediately.

Hades blinked, astonished with Hera's enthusiasm.

"Calm down, Heathrania. You still haven't worn your boots. Come, sit down." He patted Hera's bed.

The Imperial Princess pouted, obediently following Hades' order, sitting down on her bed.

Hades kneeled in front of her, carefully grabbing her feet bago isinuot sa paa niya ang boots nito na binili pa mismo ni Hades from the kingdom he went from earlier, all for his beloved sister.

"Ohh..." Hera's eyes lit up in amazement. "These are comfortable!"

Loki chuckled, enjoying the happiness in Hera's face.

"Ang ganda talaga ng mga tastes mo, Kuya." He smiled at Hades.

It's true though. Lahat ng binibili ni Hades para sa kanila ay mismong mga type nila. It was like he really knew their preferences, thus, making it a perfect gift for them. It's scary how accurate he can be.

"Shall we go now?" Loki asked, tilting his head slightly to the side as he gave her a small smile.

Inilahad niya ang palad niya sa harapan nito which Hera took excitedly, suddenly pulling him as she dashes out of her Imperial Palace.

"Mommy, we're here!" She shouted as she entered the archery grounds while pulling the youngest prince.

"You're so pretty!" She squealed nang makita ang ina.

Sigyn looked at them while tying her hair up in a ponytail. She's also wearing a plain blue headband on her head, an unusual look from her. Kahit na naka-pajama lang siya, heto't sobrang ganda na niya.

"Wow! You look so pretty, Your Imperial Highness!" Venice gasped, squealing at Hera's cuteness and beauty who decided to give her more by twirling para ipakita sa nanny ang buo niyang outfit.

Callirhoe smiled softly. "It's good that it fits you, Your Highness."

Sigyn tilted her head as she inspected the prince suit na suot ni Hera with her gaze. Medyo kumunot ang noo niya as she realized that it was the suit that Hades' father, Hezekiah, gifted him.

Grabe ang pag-aalaga ni Hades sa damit na iyon, hence, he never used it dahil ayaw niyang masira o magulo ito nang kahit na kunti lang. It's a memento from his father, after all. But to think that he made Hera wore it first...

Hades' love for his sister is really unmatched.

"She got your beauty." Iris whispered to the Empress na napalingon sa kaniya, but Iris' gaze remained on the Imperial Princess who's busy enjoying her time with the other nannies and Loki.

"She's like a mini you. Magkahawig kayo."

"Really?" Sigyn curiously asked.

"What? 'Wag mong sabihin that you're seeing her as a puppy or something?" Kumunot ang noo ni Iris.

Sigyn blinked. "Is it not?"

"She's not an it." Iris sighed, rubbing her temples. "And she's not a puppy. Goodness, bakit ba pusa at aso ang nakikita mo sa mga anak mo?"

Sigyn only stared at the siblings who are now complete dahil saktong dumating ang dalawang panganay. An unknown emotion was drawn in her eyes as it slowly softened the longer she stared at them.

"Aren't they lovely?" She quietly asked.

Medyo nagulat pa si Iris sa narinig but she soon smiled softly.

"Yes, they are, Your Imperial Majesty."

"Let's start." Biglang singit ni Fred making everyone frown, except Venice who smiled at him with so much brightness.

He averted his gaze, napatikhim na lang para pigilan ang pagguhit ng ngiti sa labi niya.

"Let's not waste any time. Marami pang dapat gawin ang bunsong prinsipe."

Right... Loki sighed as he remembered that his training wasn't paused today. It was only pushed back by the Empress' request for this activity.

The four children of the Empress were stationed in their own places, each one of them having their own targets from afar. A table was in front of them kung nasaan ang bow and arrows.

Each of their nannies naman ay naka-toka sa mga targets nila to see their scores habang si Fred ang siyang nagmo-monitor sa kanilang lahat. The Empress, on the other hand, is behind the Imperial Siblings, watching them.

"Let's start." Fred said.

The siblings grabbed their respective bows, placing the arrow, before starting to point it towards their own targets.

It was Hades who first let go of the strings at diretso ito sa gitna, earning him ten points making Callirhoe nod her head because of how proud she is.

When it comes to bow and arrow, no one can beat the Crown Prince. That's a fact that everyone knows.

Si Loki ang sumunod na bumitaw. The arrow struck on the middle circle, hence, earning ten points, pero hindi ito kasing-gitna katulad ng kay Hades.

Iris whistled as Loki's eyes widened, a proud smile slowly drawn in his lips. Lumingon pa siya sa panganay niyang kapatid who looks so proud and happy with Loki's achievement.

Hera let out a shaky sigh before releasing her arrow.

"Oh." Was her only reaction as she saw where her arrow struck at. She earned seven points for her first try.

"You did greet, Your Imperial Highness!" Venice cheered, making her feel a bit better of her results.

"Hmm... That's a fascinating result." Ares laughed.

Hera irked, glaring at the blond haired prince.

"As if you could do it better than me." She scoffed.

"I could, though." Ares blinked innocently before he looked at his target, releasing his arrow from his bow.

Mariam shrieked in panic as she ducked to the ground nang muntik nang dumiretso ang pana sa noo niya, the arrow didn't even graze the target, totally missing it.

"Your Highness!" Galit na sigaw ni Mariam sa alaga who blinked again, shrugging his shoulders.

"Well, sorry 'bout that."

"Don't act so casually about it, Your Imperial Highness! You nearly killed me!"

"Stop overreacting, Mariam."

"You litt--!"
