KANINA PA ako nakatayo ng tuwid habang nakatingin kay Barret na siyang Butler ni Kuya Damein. He looked at me intently with his hands behind his back. His face was very serious earlier when he bowed to me. Si Wan naman at Skyler parang hindi makapaniwala sa nakikita nila.
Hindi ko alam na kilala pala ni Wan itong Butler ni Kuya.
“What are you doing here?” -he asked. “Shouldn't you be with Light right now?”
“I am Barret Monroe Walker,” -he introduced himself. “I am protecting the lady by his Majesty's command. On behalf of My Lord, I am here to take the important person with me. Please do not stop me, Mr. Cullen.”
“I didn't ask for your name,” -naiinis nitong sagot. “Sinong sinasabi mong po-protektahan? Who? Amora?”
Oh, god. Hindi pwedeng malaman ni John na isa akong Prinsesa, ayokong ipaalam sa kanya, lalo na kay Skyler.
“Barret.”
He stood straight, “Milady.”
Nahihiyang tumingin ako kay Wan na ngayon ay parang walang naiintindihan. Gaya ni Sky, nakakunot din ang noo niya. Bahagya ko namang tinapunan ng tingin si Barret na tila sinasabi na wala siyang dapat sasabihin tungkol sa pagkatao ko. I know he understands what I'm saying.
“With all due respect, Mr. Cullen but I have to take her with me.” -aniya ulit. “I will protect her with all my life; you don't have to worry.”
“Protect her with all your life?” -Wan scoffed. “I can protect her, I assure you of that. You don't need to take her with you. The entire Royal Village is safe so it's better for her to stay in my care for now.”
“An order, is an order.” -Barret added. “If I have to fight you so I can take her with me, then I guess that's not my problem.”
“Teka nga lang muna,” -singit ni Skyler sa usapan. “Why on earth would you take Mauvianna with you?”
“Gusto ko lang protektahan ang babaeng gustong makita ng mahal na Prinsipe.”
“Babaeng gustong makita? Nino? Ni Lightning?” -napakagat ako sa bibig ng makita ang bagang ni John na nagtatagis. “Are you saying that punk like my girl?”
Napatitig si Barret sa kanya, tila ba sinasabi ng mga mata nito na napipikon na siya.
“To speak the truth, His Majesty loved her.”
Napatitig ako kay Wan dahil sa mukha niyang nandidilim. “Lumayas ka ngayon sa harapan ko bago ko pa kunin ang baril at iputok sa bungo mong tarantado ka.” -aniya. “Get out.”
“I'm afraid I can't do that.”
“I said, get out.”
“I need to protect her, Mr. Cullen.”
“We. Can. Protect her.” -may diing sagot niya. “Move your legs before I lose my patience.”
“I am aware of your capability to protect Milady; My Lord informed me of your exceptional fighting skills,” -he gazed at me. “However, please understand, I cannot disobey His Majesty's command.”
“Putangina gusto mo ba talagang dumanak ng dugo dito?”
Barret didn't answer him. Instead, tinapunan lang ako nito ng tingin na tila sinasabing kailangan na naming umalis. Kinakabahan naman akong tumingin kay Wan at Sky na mukhang handa na sa bakbakan.
“Milady, we need to go.”
“Stay back, Amora.”
“W-Wan,” -sambit ko sa pangalan niya. “Stop it.”
