"How was your visit to our estate, sister?" May ngiti na tanong ni Elysse. We're currently eating our breakfast. Eleazar didn't eat with us. Sean, his aid informed me that he was busy.
Good thing. I don't feel like seeing him today.
I smiled.
"It was great Elysse. Mother and father were already missing you." sagot ko.
"They wouldn't need to wait long as I'm returning next week."
Nawala ang ngiti ko. Right, she will return next week.
"Sister," hinawakan ni Elysse ang kamay ko. "Do not be sad, you can invite me again, right?" she sweetly asked.
Tama, I can still invite her.
"You're right." I can even visit them too, as the crown prince agreed that I can leave the palace whenever I want. There's no need to be sad.
"Anyway, you were gone for three days. Did his highness knew that you're back?"
"He did. When I came back, it was our schedule for sharing the..." Unti-unting humina ang boses ko dahil biglang sumagi sa isip ko ang eksena kung saan muntik na akong halikan ni Eleazar. Even that dream that were kissing. I blushed. "room.. So, he knew," dugtong ko. Kaagad akong napainom ng wine dahil pakiramdam ko ay bigla akong nauhaw. I even fanned myself because I suddenly felt hot.

Hah!
She's flustered?! Did something happened between them?! This bitch! Elysse thought.
"I see," sabi nito habang nakatingin sa pagkain.
This is not good. Ilang araw na lang at uuwi na ako. Seeing how she acts, I know that their relationship is progressing.
When their marriage happened, Elysse didn't really care at all. Because she knew that it was all fake. She secretly read the crown prince's letter to Therese when he asked her for marriage. It was emphasize that they never met each other. So when she read the letter, she knew that they're marrying each other not because they were in love.
But seeing the crown prince's reaction when Therese fainted during their lunch, she instantly knew it wasn't the case anymore, their feelings has changed.
Even Lord Zeke who is suppossed to follow her orders like a faithful servant and Prince Troye who would protect her at all cost also seems to had a change of heart! They were all gone!
She tried to approach Lord Zeke, but he said, 'are you trying to seduce the prince? If I were you, I would stop. Can't you see that he already fell to his wife?' I don't know what's on his mind but it felt like those words means that, as if he was mocking her.
She somehow felt scared of him.
Since then, she knew that Lord Zeke is not someone she can deal with, so she tried talking to Prince Troye.
But that jerk! He just ignores her all the time!
They were mine! But why can't I have them?!
This is not right!
I need to try harder!
I'm only taking back what's mine!

It was already late when I heard a knock outside.
Nang buksan ko ang pinto ay si Cara ang bumungad sa akin.
"What is it Cara?" I asked.
"Pardon me for disturbing you, but his highness has asked for your presence. He said, he was waiting for you in his room."
Kumunot ang noo ko. In his room? But, isn't it late? tanong ko sa isip.
"Did he told you why he wanted to see me?"
Umiling ito. "It was his aide Sean that told me that the duke wanted to see you, that's what he only said." Cara expalained.
I sighed. Nagtataka man ay isinuot ko muna ang roba. Hindi ko na pinasama pa si Cara para makapagpahinga na ito dahil gabing-gabi na. Bakit ba niya ako pinatawag? Can't he do it tomorrow?
But, if it's important, I guess he can't wait to say it now.
I snapped to myself. Did I just got excited?! Bakit naman?! Bakit ako mae-excite sa kung ano man ang sasabihin niya? What the hell am I thinking?
Nakakainis talaga siya.
When I turn to a corner, kaagad kong nakita ang kwarto ni Eleazar. I hurried my pace, but I saw someone walk out of his room.
I halted.
I saw Elysse.
Napansin ko na inayos nito ang suot pati ang buhok nito na nagulo. When she scan the place, nagtago ako.
What did I witness?
Napahawak ako sa dibdib. It felt like something pricked my heart...
I clenched my fist. Did I just witnessed my husband's affair?
Alam ko na hindi niya ako gusto, but can't he have any decency to choose someone else and not my sister?
And Elysse...
how can she do this to me?!
I felt so betrayed.
But then...
what rights do I have?
He is not mine to begin with.
Eleazar and Elysse was supposed to be married. I was the one who interfered with their relationship.
So, I have no rights to be hurt.
Did it happened when I was gone?
But why did I witness this after realizing my feelings?
That's cruel.
I guess, this is why you should not covet someone who's not yours, because when it happens to you, it would be painful.
Karma does really bite hard afterall.
With a heavyheart, I turn around and decided to go back in my room.

Third person's POV
"Princess Therese saw her sister walked out of her husband's room?" Lord Zeke repeated.
Nang tumango ang kaharap ay napangisi si Lord Zeke. What a bastard.
"Are you sure? But last time, you told me that Princess Therese might have feelings for Prince Troye, but when I visited the palace, it doesn't seems true at all."
"I admit, I was wrong. But this time, It's not just speculations, I saw it with my own eyes how Princess Therese saw Elysse step out of his higness' room." she desperately said.
Lord Zeke grinned. "I guess, I should visit again tomorrow."
May kinuhang supot si Lord Zeke sa bulsa nito at iniabot sa kaharap.
"I hope that you can keep on giving me entertaining news, here's your reward."
Kaagad naman na tinanggap iyon ng espiya.
"I will leave now, master."
Zeke didn't mind her, so the spy left quietly.
The spy ride a horse back into the palace.
A silhouette can be seen on the hallway.
But them, when the spy passed a certain room. The door opened.
"Cara?"
She caught me.
