One of His Concubines

CHAPTER 15

Nasa harap ako ngayon ng pinto ng isa sa mga sala ng kastilyo. The emperor of Avarel Empire wants to talk to me. I can't just say no because he has a high position while I'm just a Marquess daughter.

About, Yven. Nawala ang kanyang lagnat pero sinabi ng physician ay maari pa ‘yong bumalik. So we still need to monitor, Yven. Ngayon ay nagpaalam siyang maglibot-libot sa kastilyo kasama si Roxy at Penelope. May dalawa ring knight na nakasunod sa kanila. In case Yven will escape again. Ngayong araw rin ang balik namin sa palasyo ni Vernon.

“My lady,” I let out a breath when Octavia called me. Ilang oras na ba kaming nakatayo rito. I don't even know what's he looks like. Also his name. He was just a side-character in the novel kaya hindi siya namention ng aking mga kaibigan sa akin. I just know him being the villain's father.

I slowly pushed the door. Hindi ko maiwasang mapalunok nang bumungad sa akin ang mga tao sa loob. Una kong napansin ang nag-iisang taong nakaupo sa gold camelback sofa.

He was wearing a black jacket suit with a gold embroidered on it. Nakaclose din ang buttons hanggang sa mandarin collar niya. Sa baywang naman niya ay may gintong belt do'n. There was also a gold sash on his right shoulder down to his hips. Partnered with black pants and black leather boots. His straight silver hair looked messy and wet. He looks incredible.

Our eyes met. He is like hypnotizing me using his golden cold eyes. His aura gave chills to my body. Kaagad akong napaiwas ng tingin. W-Well... He's h-handsome... I didn't say that!

I walked towards the other sofa and do a curtsy in front of him.

“Greetings, Your Imperial Magesty. It is an honor to have you in our empire. Also... It is an honor meeting you,” I gently greeted him.

“It's also an honor to meet Emperor Vernon's cousin Lady Elowen Lenore Hartlay of Hartlay Marsh,” may pagkadiin ang pagkakasabi nito. Sa malamig nitong tingin sa akin ay parang alam niya na ang buong katauhan ko. He's voice was a bit husky and flat but it's pleasing to hear.

Tumingin siya sa dalawang kasama niya. Ngayon ko lang napansin na may mga kasama pala siya. I think sila ata ang mga knight niya because they are wearing a armor.

The two bowed their head on us then went out. Naintindihan ko ang gusto niyang ipinahayag. Lumingon ako kay Octavia. Yumuko siya at sumunod ding lumabas. He wants us to talk alone. Umupo ako sa sofa. Magkaharap kami ngayon.

“The kid, how is he?” Napaangat ang tingin ko sa kanya. About, Yven? Bakit niya tinatanong?

“He's good now. His fever gone last night.” He reached the glass of wine in the table and sipped on it a little. Wine in the morning?

“How about you?”

“What?” What was he just said. A playful smile played on his lips while staring at the glass he was holding.

“How are you? My dear runaway concubine...” my eyes widened. I quickly fixed my expression. Tumayo ako kaya napatingin siya sa akin.

“I'm sorry, Your Imperial Magesty. I still have something to do. I wish you have a good stay in our empire.” I lowered down myself into a curtsy. After that I started to walk towards the door.

“About his condition...” Napatigil ako.

“Let me help him,” I remained silent. Humarap ako sa kanya nang walang makikitang emotion sa aking mukha.

“If you can really help my son. I will let you. But... After you help him. Stay away from us.” Lumabas ako kaagad sa silid. I didn't even wait for his reply. Wala na dapat kaming pag-usapan. Naabutan ko sa labas si Octavia kasama ang dalawang kasama ng lalaking ‘yon.
