When An Assassin Becomes A Villainess

02

Kasama ko ngayon si Rebecca, ang aking personal maid. I stared at our knights who are currently training. Some of them can't focus because I'm watching.

I won't deny it, I'm looking at their half-naked bodies. Those abs and muscles—I remember I used to have those too.

I'm here to meet the knight that Ron chose to train me. Pero masyado akong nawili sa pagmamasid sa kanilang training. I'm not a pervert, but I just miss my muscles and abs.

Kinapa ko ang aking braso at tiyan. Dapat simulan ko na ang aking training sa lalong madaling panahon. Sabi ni Ron, ang commander ang magtuturo sa akin at siya pa ang nag-volunteer. Pero nasaan na kaya siya?

"Becca," tawag ko sa aking personal servant. Agad naman siyang lumapit. "Yes, milady?"

“Nasaan na ba ‘yong commander na sinasabi ni Ron?” I asked, scanning the area for any sign of the commander Ron had mentioned.

“Um—," Rebecca hesitated, glancing around as if searching for an answer.

“Please forgive me, milady. There are just some problems I fixed,” said a big man standing in front of me. His hair was jet black, and I noticed scars on his hands and arms, evidence of battles fought.

I nodded silently in acknowledgment and offered a reserved smile. Despite their courtesy, I still struggled with how to communicate effectively with these knights and their world.

Ginaya niya ako sa papunta sa training ground. Tahimik lang nakasunod sa amin si Rebecca. Sinunod talaga ni Ron ang gusto ko sa isang servant. Good job siya.

I’m in a white shirt, black pants, and black boots. Rebecca did my ponytail, she’s really good at her job, and I like how her hands feel soft touching my hair. Pero may kakaiba talaga sa kanya na hindi ko alam kung ano.

"By the way, what's your name, sir?" I asked, breaking the silence.

"Oh, forgive me, milady. I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Devon, the commander knight of Forsberg," he replied with a warm smile.

"Okay, Sir Devon, I'll be under your guidance from now on. Please don't hold back; I'm ready for the challenge," I assured him. He blinked twice, perhaps surprised by my determination.

"Are you sure, Milady?"

I nodded confidently. "Yup."

Inabot sa akin ni Sir Devon ang isang espadang gawa sa kahoy. Sabi niya ay mas mabuting ito muna ang gamitin dahil nagsisimula palang akong aralin ang paggamit ng espada. I agree with him. I'm good with knives, but swords are a different story. I also learned arnis before when I started training to be an assassin, so I might learn how to wield a sword quickly.

Tinuruan ako ni Sir Devon ng mga basic steps sa paggamit ng espada. He's really good at teaching because I'm learning fast. Pinapakita niya lang sa akin ang isang galaw isang beses, at agad ko nang naiintindihan. And when I told him not to go easy on me, he really didn't.

My body doesn't really have good stamina, but I can work on it. Ganito rin naman ako noong nagsisimula ako at noong nag-eensayo ako sa ama ni Kael.

"Magaling. Ang mabilis mong matuto," sabi sa akin ni Sir Devon pagkatapos kong gawin ang huling tinuro niya.

Ngumiti ako. "Thank you. Magaling kayo magturo kaya mabilis kong nakukuha ang lahat,"

Lumapit sa akin si Rebecca at inabot ang isang malinis na pamunas. Tinanggap ko ito at ngumiti sa kanya. She's smiling while watching me train. I'm bothered about her; maybe I should confront her about it?

""I think we'll call it a day for now; let's resume tomorrow," sabi ni Sir Devon.

Tumango ako sa pagsang-ayon sa sinabi niya. Pagod na rin ako at hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang beses ko inulit-ulit gawin ang mga tinuro niya. Hapon na rin naman at baka bumalik na ang aking ama.
