Chapter 2: Game

"I'd like to take that as a challenge, My Queen." He said with a glimpse of amusement on his face.

I took a deep breath and held my head high. If he was expecting that I'd be intimidated by him, then, he was wrong about it.

We're just getting started.

Kasalukuyan kaming nagsusukatan ng tingin ni Tobias, nakakrus na ang mga braso ko habang nakataas na ang isa kong kilay. Samantalang siya ay nanatili lang nakangiti sa akin.

Sa totoo lang ay nagsisimula nang uminit ang ulo ko dahil sa ngiti niyang iyon, pero pinipigilan ko lang ang sarili kong huwag ipakita sa kanyang napipikon na ako.

Talo agad ako? Ganoon na lang?

"Aren't we not going to continue this?" he casually pointed to the pile of money on our table.

I blinked and noticed my money. "Of course!"

He chuckled before he touched my money and continued counting it. Nakatungo na si Tobias habang seryosong nagbibilang nang pera bago ako umirap at umismid sa kanya.

I licked my thumb finger before I continued counting my money.

"Why do you like this so much?"

"Of course! Money is everything in the human world. I can buy properties, cars, a lot of foods, dresses, make my own business, and many more!"

"I can give you properties, foods, and dresses. Our family Le'Vamueivos has businesses too."

"Oh? Water district nga or do you have firefighter units? May firetruck din kayo rito?"

Natigil si Tobias sa pagbibilang ng pera. He looked at me and he tilted his head with creased brows. "Sometimes you talk like Naha, you're aware of this world, aren't you? Among the girls from the human world, I think you're the most knowledgeable, but it seems like you still need to learn more."

I nodded. "Yes, I am aware of mates, the vampire world, and you. But not too much, so may water district ka nga?"

"What do you mean by that? Parsua Deltora is an empire rich with bodies of water."

Ngumuso na lang ako bago nagpatuloy sa pagbibilang at pagtali. Hindi na ako muli nagtanong hanggang sa matapos kami ni Tobias magbilang.

"May vault ka ba? Saan ito puwedeng itago?"

"Vault?"

"Baul? Lagayan ng kayamanan?"

"Under the castle, we have a room filled with gold, jewels, and other important relics from the past."

"A treasure room?"

"Maybe you can say it like that."

Muli akong ngumuso. "Hindi ba puwedeng sa kuwarto ko na lang? Sa mundo ng mga tao, nakatago lang iyon sa pader, likuran ng aklatan, at ilalim ng sahig. It's a small metal box with lock and then humans can put their money and gold bars. Ganoon?"

"Inside our room?"

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. "Our room?"

"We're mates. We have the same room," he casually said.

Napatayo na akong muli sa upuan ko at napahampas ako sa lamesa ko. "Aren't we just fiancé? Bakit magkasama na agad tayo sa kuwarto? Kahit nine— ano, kahit naka-withdraw pa ako ng nine million dahil sa 'yo. This is unfair! Do you have any guest room?"
