The King's Sin
MEZUL
"WOAH, CHILDREN! YOU look unrecognizable!" Death mocked with a smirk in the face upon greeting us as soon as we reached his ship. I glared at him which made him stop from talking even more.
The look on his face speaks everything though. Pinasadahan ba naman kami nito ng tinging mula ulo hanggang paa at hindi makapaniwala na madungis kami. It's the kind of gaze that will make you feel disrespected.
Kung makatingin ito ay parang mukha kaming pulubi. And he called us children. CHILDREN! Which made me pissed even more than I already am because of my appearance.
Yet, I cannot blame him. I'm tired and sleepy and hungry and I just don't want to argue with him.
"Can we take a shower?"
"Go! Be my guest!" Kulang nalang ay ipagtulakan kami nito paalis. He even waved us goodbye. Kung hindi ko lang siguro kasama ang prinsipe, baka nagtakip na ito ng ilong.
Napabuntong hininga ako.
I guess I should bear with this for now until prinsipe Ul and I gets back to the Crimson World.
I am not planning to stay here longer. Kaya lang naman ako nandito ay dahil sa hinihinging kapalit ni Kamatayan para sa pagbibigay ng lokasyon ni Prinsipe Ul. I don't back out on my word.
I have a lot of dilemmas right now, however it's more important for me to take care of myself when I have a chance so I can think properly. A nice bath in this case will do the trick.
Ugh... I can't believe I have to suffer like this.
After the short welcome, Death's servants accompanied prinsipe Ul and I to our respected rooms. Magkatabi lang naman ang aming kwarto. Prinsipe Ul was assisted until he got into his room while I, on the other hand took care of myself alone.
Hindi naman ako katulad niya na nasanay sa marangyang buhay. I can take care of myself alone just fine.
Isa pa, gusto ko munang mapag-isa.
After what happened days ago... Prinsipe Ul and I somehow got closer a bit. I learned that he's not the type of guy who tends to be clingy but he always makes me feel that I am not alone and sometimes, he shows a part of him that I haven't witnessed before.
Until now, I still cannot believe that we claimed each other as mates. The feeling was surreal and overwhelming. I cannot bring myself to be completely happy because the challenges that comes with our title as hell keepers are still in the way.
And that can't be helped since we are just starting. Kahit mukhang tatlong araw lang sa Crimson World ang itinagal namin sa loob ng impyerno, tatlong taon naman ang katumbas nito sa loob.
Almost three years of him being stuck in my mind is not something I can continue to ignore. To be exact, those almost three painful years are more than enough for me to keep denying him. And now... Like him, I cannot simply let go.
But today, we remained silent until we reached the ship and has not spoken to each other since.
Hindi ko alam kung bakit nababagabag ako. I cannot ignore this instinct because it never failed me in the past.
