After I left the restaurant, two men followed me. Hindi ako sigurado kung sino sila, but I don't know them.
Wait! Don't tell me I'm being targeted. Is it Albert!? My Father? Or maybe the whole Kaiser clan?
I quickened my pace. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw shadows moving in sync with mine. They're definitely following me!
Sumuot ako sa gilid ng isang malaking basurahan. Sumilip ako nang bahagya sa gilid at nakitang nagtago sila sa isang maliit na eskinita sa pagitan ng dalawang gusali.
Impossible! The Kaiser's won't even mind sending an assassin to kill me. They would not bother wasting a single penny on a worthless person like me. Isa pa, alam ko kung sino ang pinapatay nila. Those who only serve as a threat to them. I'm not a threat, I don't even have inheritance, and I'm not the head of the Kaiser's.
Wait, who's the head of Kaiser's again?
Fuck! Isn't it my brother Albert!? Since my grandfather is the firstborn, his first son will become the next head! Which is my father! And who is my father's firstborn? Albert!
Damn! Don't tell me they've mistaken me for Albert? No way! Mas pogi naman ako sakanya ng sampung paligo 'no! Should I tell them that I'm not Albert? Would they believe me?
Argh! This stupid killers! Mapapatay pa yata ako ng wala sa oras dahil sa bwisit kong kapatid! Damn that, Albert! Hanggang kamatayan hindi ako tigilan!
"I'm not Albert! My brother is in our mansion!" I shouted so they could hear it from afar. I could not risk getting close to them. Baka mamaya ay bigla nalang nila akong tutukan at itapon sa liblib na lugar! I don't want to die right now!
"Kill him if you want! I don't care, just don't follow me! You're creeping me out!"
I took a deep breath, finding my next hiding spot. Wala na akong choice kung hindi ang tumakbo nalang at magtago sa mas maraming taong lugar. A bar, I guess?
Kapag lumabas ako dito, sigurado akong susundan ulit nila ako! Shit! What a troublesome guys! I really wanted to go out with William today and drink myself to death in celebration of fooling the prince! But I guess not.
When I saw a pub, I immediately entered it. The men did not slip any moment and followed me inside. Naupo ako sa unahan.
"Your order sir?" the bartender asked.
Shit! Wala akong pera.
"I'm still waiting for someone." I smiled.
Tumango siya at bumalik sa pag-eentertain ng ibang customer.
Let's see where they are... AHA!
Kaagad akong tumayo. They seemed not to notice me because the waiter occupied them.
Without a second thought, I surged forward. People turned to look as I stormed towards the table, but I didn't care.
Reaching them, I grabbed the collar of the one guy and yanked him to his feet. Sino ba ang mga panget na to ha!
"Why are you following me!?" I demanded.
He looks shocked. Mukhang wala siyang planong ibuka ang bibig kaya hinatak ko pa ang kuwelyo. Narinig ko ang bahagyang pagputok ng butones niya.
He looked taken back, the same as the other guy. He raised his hands in a placating gesture. "Wait, calm down," he stammered. His voice is surprisingly soft. "I can explain."
Napasapo ako sa noo nang marinig ang mga sinabi niya. Kahit hindi ko iyon masyadong maintindihan ay medyo nakuha ko ang mahahalagang parte non. Tulad ng, pinasundan ako ng frog prince na iyon! That lunatic prince!
