Agercia Series 1: Her Finest Betrayal

C h a p t e r 46

IT HAS been three weeks since the incident happened. For those three weeks, she was confined and waiting to recover. She sustained multiple wounds and fractures as well as bullet wounds. She almost dies, but death seems too afraid of her, so she survives to this day despite what happened.

"You're stunned again. Maybe you're thinking about what happened again?" said the old Archon, and walked over to her "If you're thinking about running away again, please, don't do that."

Agatha looked at her godfather and took a deep breath. "I promised to the first archon that I would never run away again, but I felt so heavy... I don't deserve him- I don't deserve his forgiveness, his kindness, and his love. I made a mistake, I betrayed him and I attempted to kill him several times... I am so ashamed, I don't want the time to come when she will regret that I became her mother... Because her mother was a criminal and murderer. The sins I have committed will surely affect her as well" she uttered sadly.

"My daughter, don't make the same mistake that I did. You will just regret it as what I am now- I regret the things I should have done before... I regret that I did not come back home to my son out of shame... Your child needs you so don't leave her ... fill her heart with the love of a mother- That was what she needed the most", her godfather said, then held out her hand.

"You are not a criminal and you are not a murderer. You imprint that on your brain, honey. You have not killed innocent people, they are all evil and deserve to be punished. The Tyrant deceived you, so it's not your fault at all, it's all Regan's fault."

"Still- I'm part of it," Agatha said and cried because she could no longer bear what was bothering her heart.

"Forgive yourself, that's the only answer to losing the burden on your heart. Learn to forgive, Agatha", her godfather added. Agatha remained silent and wiped away her tears.

Her godfather caressed her cheek. "You love my son, don't you?" he asked.

Agatha was slightly taken aback by her godfather's question before speaking "Y-yes, God knows I do."

"But why are you stopping yourself from showing him that you love him?" Her godfather asked her again.

"Because- I can't be the right person for him. He deserves a better and more decent woman who will love him truly, completely, and, wholeheartedly."

"But he loves you, Agatha. And despite the tragedy that happened, he stays holding and waiting for you because he loves you. So I beg you, my daughter. Huwag niyo ng saktan ang isa't-isa. You both deserve to be happy. Think of your daughter too. She needs a father and a mother - she needs a whole happy family." The old Archon said, so Agatha thought of it- because her godfather had a point.

"I will fix myself first- but right now, my memories are still hunting me. I have to be fixed" Agatha stammered. "To be worthy for them."

"Great," said her godfather, then smiled at her.

"What happened to Tyrant? ... Did he die," she asked.

"Sad to say, but no. He is more than fine. He was confined in the castle of Agercia so that he could no longer escape. And from what I heard, there was a trial tomorrow to judge him."

Agatha suddenly sat up to what she heard "A-aw". She groaned slightly as her wound ached. Her godfather helps her to sit. "Why didn't you tell me right away ? I wanna see it myself the end of him. I want to attend the trial."

Suddenly, Zandro appeared, who had been listening to their conversation. "Hindi pwede, It's too dangerous. The Hellas are still burning in range because of the big mess due to the incident. You can't just show yourself there... You're putting yourself in trouble again," Zandro said while carrying their baby, Zandria.
