Stone Hearted Empress

Chapter 15: The twins

Phinicxxe Caspper's POV

I was furiously slashing my sword in every direction because my brother annoys me. Talagang tinago niya pa ang favorite sword ko sa pinakamataas na book shelf sa library.

Napatingin ako sa bintana kung saan makikita ang office ni dad. My forehead crease when I saw my father slamming his hands in the table and walking out of the room. What the hell happened in there?

"Mukhang may nasabi nanamang mali yung babaeng 'yon." Napatingin ako sa gilid ko ng marinig ko ang boses ng personal maid naming dalawa ng kapatid kong si Lilith na may hawak na limang taong gulang na batang babae. "Ikaw? Bakit parang bad mood ka rin?" Tanong niya at lumingon na sa akin.

"Fhilicx hid my sword in the shelf again and it pisses me off." I answered her and she just raised her brow at me. "Kayo na nga lang magkakapatid nag-aaway pa kayo." She commented and even put both of her arms on the each side of her waist. She looks like my mom when she scold us.

My eyes went down the ground when I remembered mother again. It has been five years since her disappearance and yet, father still has no idea on where she is. Might as well give up on finding her but he still believes that our mother is out there, just hiding because the person behind her assassination is still roaming the empire.

"Hmm? Naalala mo nanaman mama mo ano?" She ask me but I just look on the opposite direction as I heave a sigh. "I'm done training." I coldly said then left her and her child. As I walk back to the palace I stumbled upon an annoying creature walking in the hallway.

"Ms. Vonswichze." I uttered coldly as I look at her with hatred. The woman who keeps on insisting that our mother is dead and father should marry her.

"Little prince." She said smiling but it's obviously fake. Like her whole being. "What are doing here again? Didn't I told you that you're not welcome here as well as your son?" I spout at her as I glare. She bow her head as if she's hurt with my choice of words.

"That is quite rude your highness. After all, I will be your future stepmother." She said as she wipes the invisible tears in her eyes. Such a drama queen.

"What a lie. Stop telling that because father will never marry you." I said as I narrow my eyes at her. "You're nothing but a desperate nobel anyway." I uttered as I walk pass her but got stopped when she suddenly grabbed my wrist and forcefully pulled me back.

"How dare you tell that to me!?! Wala ka ba talagang galang o hindi talaga kayo tinuruan ng nanay niyo!?!" She yelled at me but I just smirked at her, "mother once said that we should give our respect to people who deserves it and you are not deserving for me to give respect." I answered her as I smirk at her annoyed face.

"You little—" Before I could even react, she already raised her left hand as it quickly swinged to slap me but someone immediately caught her hand. "Hurt my child and I will banish you from this empire and make sure that you'll perish." A cold, deadly baritone voice uttered that did not only made me shiver but also give me goosebumps.

My father's dark and menacing glare made her as white as a paler. "Y-your highness..." She whispered as if she's afraid of the person infront of her but my father couldn't care less. "I dare you to hurt my child and I will not hesitate to make your life a living hell." Seryosong pagbabanta ng ama ko sa babaeng mariin niyang tinititigan.

The lady quickly shaked her hand out of my father's grip and give us a brave look as she glares at me and my father. Agad siyang tumalikod at nagmamadaling naglakad paalis.

"That woman is crazy and sick in the head. Don't you ever let her marry you father." I commented as I irritatingly look at the direction that crazy woman run off to. I heard him scoff and ruffle my hair, "I will never agree to marry her." He answered as he smile at me. I look at him and notice something, "you're getting old dad. Halata na masiyado ang mga dark circle mo." I blurted out while pointing at his eyes.
