Chapter 83
"Uhm... A-ano po..."
Pansin ang pagguhit ng kaba sa kaniya dahil sa malamig na titig ng Imperial Family sa kaniya.
She has never been this nervous before, ngayon lang. Kakaiba talaga ang aura ng pamilyang ito. Nakakasakal.
"Hmm? Wait... Aren't you that young lady I've met before?"
Kaagad siyang napaangat ng tingin when she heard a soft yet cheery voice.
Juliette's eyes widened. "You're here...!"
Loki smiled softly at her. "I never thought I'd meet you here. So, you really are a noble young lady." He chuckled. "What do you need from my family, my lady?"
"Oh... I'm Juliette Lerwis from the Lerwis Family." Pagpapakilala niya.
"I am Aileth Morana di Lokesio of the Imperial Family." Loki casually introduced himself.
"I know..." Mahinang sagot ni Juliette bago may ipinakita sa kaniyang kamay. "I really came here for you, Your Imperial Highness. I came to bring this back."
Loki tilted his head nang makitang it was a brooch with his family's symbol. "What's that?"
"You left it when we met that night..." Pahina nang pahina ang boses nito dahil sa takot.
Mas tumalim kasi ang tingin sa kaniya ng mga miyembro ng Imperial Family na kasama ng prinsipe ngayon.
If looks could kill, she would be dead by now.
"I don't remember having that, though..." He mumbled.
"That's mine!"
Hera immediately snatched it from Juliette's hand when she remembered that she lost that symbol of hers three years ago. Ito yung matagal niya nang hinahanap na nakakabit sa coin bag niya.
"I'm trying to find it for a long time now. Nasa sa 'yo lang pala." Tumaas ng bahagya ang kilay niya.
"Didn't you say you lost that three years ago?" Tanong ni Hades, naalala ang pagta-tantrums ng kapatid sa kaniya dahil hindi niya mahanap ang brooch na hawak niya ngayon.
Kay Ares kasi talaga iyon, pinahiram niya lang kay Hera, that's why she was so nervous when she lost it that time.
Both Loki and Hera froze when they remembered that it was supposed to be a secret.
"That night..." Sigyn mumbled, making them flinch. "Lokesio was seven years old, three years ago. He's not supposed to be out of the palace grounds. That's intriguing... How you met my son."
Diretso ang tingin niya kay Juliette na kinabahan din kahit wala naman siyang kasalanan.
"Fuck." Mahinang bulong ni Hera sa sarili.
"Would you like to have dinner with us, Young Lady Lerwis?" Biglang sabi ni Sigyn. "I would like to hear how you met my son that night." Pagdidiin nito, eyeing both Hera and Loki na napaiwas ng tingin.
"Uhm..." Hindi alam ni Juliette ang sasabihin, ang isasagot.
She looked at Loki, trying to read what he wanted to happen pero natigil iyon when she noticed Hades, looking at her with so much coldness.
Wala tuloy siyang nagawa kundi ang sumang-ayon dahil sa tahimik nitong pagbabanta.
"S-sige po."
"Ano kayang ulam for dinner? I'm so hungry." Eunice said, humming as she walked along the long corridor of the main palace.
Hindi niya mapigilang hindi makaramdam ng awkwardness dahil parehong tahimik ang dalawang kasama niyang nakasunod sa kaniya.
