Underworld War

Chapter 7 - Training

I woke up earlier than the maids are expected to come into my room. I was excited to finally start my training. Naging athlete naman ako nung high school but decided to stop attending dahil nagbabanggaan ang schedule ko.

Though I was able to join a division meet for softball kaso first place lang kami. Siguro sapat na ang experience ko para di maging lampa during training. Ayokong mapahiya lalo na't kumakalat ang balita na may asawa si Lyko, paano kapag nalaman nila na ako? They would surely belittle me and my abilities.

And I don't want that for him and for me. Baka kwestyunin din ang pamamalakad nila. Why did the royal family let a foreign girl marry the prince?

I shook off the negative thoughts in my head and began preparing. I held the black suit in front of me. Then, I remembered pupunta pa pala kami sa healer.

I just decided to wear my uniform para diretso na sa academmy mamaya. Ang ganda pala nito sa balat. Hindi mainit at stretchable. Hapit na hapit rin sa katawan ko.

Medyo nainsecure tuloy ako dahil 'di naman ganun kaumbok ang pwet ko. But I don't think the people here would mind.

I stepped out of my room and saw the maids walking in the hallway. Mukhang papunta sila sa kwarto ko para ayusan ako. When they saw me, their eyes widened and immediately bowed.

"We apologize we took so long, Your Majesty."

I shook my hand, "It's fine."

"Shall we come earlier tomorrow, Princess?"

"No, don't worry. You can come in your usual time." I said and turned my back on them.

I halted when a question popped in my head, "Is Lyko already awake?" I asked.

"Yes, Princess."

Tumango ako at lumiko. He said he'll come with me and I really want to confirm with the healer. I've been restless since last night.

I knocked twice. It took him minutes to open his door. Basa pa ang buhok nya but he's already well prepared. Mukhang nagulat pa sya dahil ako ang bumungad sa kanya.

"How may I be of help to my wife?" He asked.

My wife.

It sounds sweet to be called his. Pero ang reyalidad ay malayo sa pagiging sweet. I am his wife, that's a fact. I am just a wife. Nothing more, nothing less.

"You said you'll come with me."

"This early? We still need to eat."

"I thought it'll be great to have a jog. Warm up lang before ako magtraining."

"We will have a proper warm up during training. But if that's what you want, then let's go."

His outfit is different from what he usually wears. Naka itim sya na jacket, nakafold hanggang siko ang sleeves nito. Also, a black training pants.

Nagpaalam lang sya na we won't be joining his parents for breakfast then we're off to go. We jogged until we reached the small kubo.

Goodness, he's fast! I tried hard to keep up with his pace but his speed is unbelievable! Sobrang hingal na hingal ako sa pagtakbo namin. That was supposed to be just a jog pero kakahabol ko sa kanya ay parang naging sprint. He's got long legs, no wonder his strides are long.

I held on my knee as I struggle to catch my breath. Ganito ang inabot ko sa kagustuhang magpakitang gilas sa kanya. Halos himatayin tuloy ako tapos sya mukhang chill na chill lang.

Tulo ng tulo ang pawis mula sa mukha ko. I can even taste some in my mouth. When was the last time I jog? I can't remember. Kapag kasi nagcollege ka na, you won't have time to do more activities. Kaya nanaba halos ang mga college students.
