Chapter 4
Anais Point of View
Nakangiti akong naglakad sa unahan habang nasa likod ko naman sina kuya at ama.
In the end, they don't have a choice but to let me join. Well, I have my ways.
Nang makarating kami sa harapan ay napakunot na lamang ang noo ko sapagkat may mga hindi kasapi na mga tao sa labas.
Visitors?
"Good day, to the master of this manor." bati ng isang lalaki na sa tingin ko ay ka-edaran lang ng tatay ko.
Maliban sa lalaking ito ay may kasama pa siyang bata na sa tingin ko ay ka-edaran lang ng kuya ko. Father walked towards mother so sumunod kami ni kuya.
"Good day, your grace. What might be the reason why you visit our humble manor, Duke?"
Humble manor??
Saan banda ang humble sa bahay na ito?
And what? This man is a Duke? Hindi halata.
The Duke grinned which made him suspicious. I already can feel the uneasiness feeling among Dad, Mom, and brother.
Perhaps, this man is their next target? Or an enemy of ours?
"The King just told me to visit our hero, and I also heard that your son, Augustine is excellent in swordsmanship. I would like him to spar with my son, Raven."
Napataas ang kilay ng ama ko sa mapangahas na pabor ng Duke.
How is he bold asking the master swordsman's son to spar with his son?
Father look at my brother, asking if he want or no. Tumango naman ang kapatid ko.
Nang pumayag ang ama ko ay kaagad kaming lahat nagtungo sa training grounds at pagkarating do'n ay nagpalit na si Kuya para sa sparring dahil nakahanda na ang lalaking nagngangalang Raven.
Kaagad tumungo ang kapatid ko sa gitna habang hawak-hawak ang wooden sword. Well, father was the one who said they'll use wooden sword.
Bago sila magsimula ay nahuli ko sa akto ang pagtingin sa akin ng batang si Raven. I just ignore it.
Tuluyan ng nagsimula ang laban at wala pang gumawa ng unang pag-atake sapagkat ang dalawa ay naghihintayan kung sino ang mauuna.
Just like what I've expected, it's my brother who did the first strike. Tumakbo ang kapatid ko sa deriksyon ng kalaban niya. I noticed that my brother didn't applied his sword's aura or sword art in his movement.
Raven was ready to defend himself. My brother slashed his sword on Raven's right hand. Pero kaagad akong nagtaka ng biglaang lumihis ng deriksyon ang espada ng kapatid ko kaya naman ay nagawa siyang tamaaan ni Raven.
Mukhang nagtataka rin ngayon ang kapatid ko. Before I assume something, I once observed their match thoroughly.
Ngayon ay si Raven naman ang umaatake. Brother stepped backwards but I frowned when his step landed on front kaya naman ay nagawa ulit siyang tamaan ni Raven.
Bakas ang labis na pagtataka sa mukha ng kapatid ko at nakita ko ang bahagyang konsensiya sa mata ni Raven.
Dahil do'n ay kaagad akong napatingin sa paligid and I grinned when my gaze got locked on someone.
I can't help but to smile when I clearly saw how the Duke use his skill, it's a skill to manipulate anything that has substance and physical form. No wonder why my brother's body is not following on my brother's accord.
