NOBLE SERIES#4: A DEAL WITH A PRINCE

CHAPTER 15

Her Royal Higness, Zhaviah.

Lumabas ako ng pinto, napuno ng usok ang loob kaya ang hirap tumingin sa dinadaanan nauna ako sa kanila at nagtuloy tuloy na sa paglalakad hangang sa makarating ako sa labas. Naubo ako ng kaunti pagdating sa labas.

Naglakad lakad ako at papunta na sana sa may carriage ko ng may biglang humawak sa'kin. Paglingon ko ay nakita ko si Efrain na nakatayo at nakatingin ang mga mata sa'kin kalkulado at maiiging tinitignan ang kilos ko.

"Let go of me." I said, my voice went cold.

He stared at me. "What are you doing here?" Lumipat ang tingin n'ya sa hotel.

"Dressed like this?" Dagdag n'ya. Wow.

Ngumisi ako. "What? Ikaw lang ba ang pwedeng kumama ng ibang tao rito?" Saad ko.

"People are watching, Khaleesi. Mind your manners." Sambit n'ya sa mahinahong tono.

"Since you've said that, why don't you apply it to yourself first. Your higness." I replied emphasizing the word your higness.

Makikita mo sa itsura n'yang naiinis na s'ya, wow s'ya pa may ganang mainis sa ugali n'yang 'yan?

"Forget it, pauwi ka na ba? ihahatid na kita."

Umirap ako. "Huwag na baka madisgrasya pa tayo pareho pauwi." Sambit ko saka tinalikuran s'ya at dumiretso na papunta sa carriage ko.

Binuksan 'yon ni Selah saka ako pumasok sa loob, agad namang umalis ang sinasakyan ko. Bumuntong hininga ako uuwi na nga lang ako lahat lahat kailangan pa talagang makita ko ang lalaking 'yon.

Tinukod ko ang siko ko sa may bintana at tumingin sa labas, malalim na naman ang iniisip. Come to think someone was behind Efrain earlier it was a woman, a blonde this time last time brown. Baka nagbabalak s'yang punan ang rainbow bucket list of girls n'ya.

Anyway, I shouldn't think about Efrain anymore. I don't care what he do, or whatever his plan is. Matalino naman s'yang tao, ewan ko. Siguro.

I really have to go to the bottom of this. I want to know who killed my mother. And whoever that person, I swear to God I will kill it without any mercy.

A life for life.

To be honest, I've accepted it a long time ago that my mother passed away before me. And I'm not that sad, siguro dahil hindi ko s'ya naramdaman sa tabi ko nung mga panahon kailangan ko s'ya hindi ko rin naramdaman ang pag alis n'ya.

Nang makarating kami ni Selah agad akong naligo at natulog na puno na naman ang schedule ko bukas wala ng araw na nakatulog ako ng payapa pa sa payapa. Parang palagi na lang akong hinahabol ni Santanas.

"My lady, Your Royal Highness, Zhaviah Hukassa—Kedavra will be attending the Royal Feast tomorrow." Naerin informed me first thing in the morning.

Ayan na nga si Santanas.

I really believed in the quote where it says  When the devil can't reach you so they'll send you Zhaviah Hukassa instead to.

I don't know if I should be delighted that woman is here but one thing for sure everything will be interesting, as what Taleigha said, Zhaviah is a dangerous person I shouldn't get involved with her anymore after that situation where I talked to her in the palace.

It made me open my eyes more. The rumors will stay as it is, but she won't. I want to get in her good ways, but I don't think that would be possible since she's so calculating and only pick things that would be useful in her play.

The queen of the Royal palace, Zhaviah She's both a danger and a shelter. A danger for her nemesis and a shelter for her people.

"I've prepared everything for you, my lady." Keva said as she entered the room.
