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

She held her breath as she waited for the grand door to open.Hinigpitan niya ang kapit sa kamay ng kambal na nasa kanyang magkabilang gilid.She instructed a maid earlier to wake them up para salubungin ang Duke.Even if she doesn't want to wake the twins in the middle of the night,she needs to because it was a proper etiquette.Dahil kung hindi ay baka ano pa ang isipin ng Duke.The man already hated them,and she can't afford to make him despise them even more even with every little actions.

"M-mama,sleepy po"inaantok na sumbong sa kanya ng batang babae.Kinusot nito ang naiiyak na mata.Nahabag siya sa bata.Even Claudus' head was wobbling because of how sleepy he was.

She gave them a smile.

"Bear with Mama a little bit more, sweetheart,hmm?."Bumaling naman siya sa kakambal nitong batang lalaki na tuluyan nang tumungo ang ulo sa pagkaantok.She was surprised that the boy managed to sleep while standing.Munti siyang napangiti.But sadly,she needed to wake him up so she gently shaked their adjoined hands."Wake up Claudus baby."

The boy whimpered as he forced his eyes to open.

"Announcing the Duke and his trusted subordinates!"a servant relayed.Hindi pa man ay agad na yumuko ang mga lampas isang daang katulong sa kanyang magkabilang gilid.The Butler included.She gulped.In just mere seconds,she was overly anxious.

She admits that she despise the Duke.For all the things that he didn't do to protect his children,his very own blood,it was already valid that he was an undeniably irresponsible father for her.The Duke is powerful,yes.But he didn't even bother to use that for the sake of the twins and just tossed them aside.So yeah,she can't help but to hate the Duke.

She let out a heavy sigh as the massive door began to open slowly.

This is it.Just behave naturally and don't let his presence get you swayed.That way you'll live a peaceful life with the twins. . . hopefully.

The first to enter was five towering men with their knight armours on.She also noticed that the 1st Commander Archullus was the one in front of the men leading him.Ang mga hakbang ng mga ito ay patungo sa kanila.Ramdam niya ang pagkubli ng dalawang batang bata sa kanyang likod at ang panginginig ng kamay ng mga itong hawak niya.

The men stopped in front of her.Pinigilan niya ang sariling magpadala sa pinapakitang pagkamuhi ng mga ito sa kanya.

The men all knew about her past doings.If their General was indifferent towards her,well they are different.They know everything she does inside and outside the Duchy.

As they glare at her with so much hatred,she held her chin up and didn't look away at their gaze even though their hostility was so much of an obvious.She tighten her grips on the children,not too tight to hurt them but just enough to reassure them.

Nang tumigil ang mga ito sa kanyang harapan ay kailangan niyang tumingala upang matignan ang mga ito sa mata.This men was emitting too much intimidation that many can't help but cower in fear.But not her .She refused to.

Ilang segundo ang mga itong tinitigan siya.They were examining her as if finding something wrong in every fiber of her being .She stayed still and silent as she held their glare with her passive ones.Not long after,their fisted hands made a thump sound in their chest as they bowed in front of her, greeting her in a knight way.

"We greet the Duchess."it was monotone and was plain and simple.They didn't add anything more,which she prefer.She doesn't care if they loathe her because she already planned that this will be the last time they are interacting.

Except if they were to do something that will cross me--or much worse,this children that I already acknowledged as mine.I won't back down that easily.
