Benedict's POV
"Good Day, your grace. I apologize for disturbing you in this hour." Yumuko si Marquess Verol pero tumawa lang ako at nginitian ito.
"You're too formal, Master. Just call me what you always call me before."
Umayos ito ng tayo at bumuntong hininga.
"It's necessary, your grace. Even if you became my student before, I must still know my limitations."
"Hah fine. What I can do for you, Marquess Verol?"
"I came here to say what I want for my reward, your grace."
Oh? The reward for helping me to get in this position? I'm glad he finally made a decision.
"Say what you want, Marquess Verol. I will give it to you."
Sumeryoso ang ekspresyon nito at tinignan ako ng mariin.
"I want you to train Lady Veronica, my daughter, Duke Olivier."
Kusang bumagsak ang ngiti sa labi ko at nagsimulang lumabas ang pagkadigusto at inis sa buong katawan ko.
That wit- girl?
"I- you want me to teach her? The Lady of Luishall?" Paniniguro ko dahil baka iba pala ang tinutukoy niya- sana.
"Yes, your grace."
I can't refuse him. This is what he want. Hah I thought I will never get to see that fcki- face anymore but here we are.
"I accept it, Marquess Verol."
Cuz I have no other choice.
FFW...
Lihim akong napangisi na makita ang ayos nito.
Huling kita ko pa nito ay isa tong mabangis na hayop, bakit naging tuta ngayon?
"Duke Olivier will be the one to schedule your training." Sabi ni Marquess Verol sa kanya. Hindi nakatakas sa tingin ko ang pag kuyom niya ng kamao.
Training this girl in front of me isn't that bad at all. Maybe I could have fun in this torture-
-Or not. It's not really fun. In fact she's giving me headaches.
I must be a masochist if I would be liking this kind of pain.
"Lady Veronica, stay focus."
"Give more strength on your upper body, Lady Veronica."
"Don't be too fast, you almost lost your balance."
I don't know how many times did I reminded the same statements to her. Fortunately, I'm seeing a good progress.
Well, magaling ang nagturo eh.
Our training has come to its end. Not gonna lie, I enjoy it- just a little ehem. I enjoy watching her- uhm struggling yeah. And when our training stop, I always felt sad... cuz hindi ko na siya makikita nahihirapan!
Oo tama yun! Kahit anong mangyari ay hindi mawawala sa memorya ko ang ginawa niya.
Pero talagang ginamit ko pa ang koneksyon ko para makasali sa tournament na yun.
I just wanna see if my hardwork paid off. That's it.
Pagkabigla at pagkabahala ang nakita ko sa mukha niya. Hmm... bakit kaya?
Napangisi ako ng may pumasok sa ideya sa utak ko.
"Is she scared of her own master?"
A/N: I'm really sorry po dahil sobrang tagal bago pa ako naka update. Inuuna ko po kasi yung school works ko kaya hindi ko na muna pinansin to. Pasensya na din po kung naiiklihan kayo sa chapter na'to. Wala na po kasing pumapasok na ideya sa utak ko kaya tinapos ko nalang po siya dahil ayaw ko na naman i-delay ang update. Ipo-promote ko nalang din yung bago kong story. The Reason Why the Duchess Ran Away po ang title. Salamat po sa paghihintay at pagbabasa.
HAPPY 3K+ reads ^∆^ 🎉

The Unexpected Twist
Fantasy"Rose with Three Thorns" is a typical romance novel I read just because of its beautiful book cover. I realized how foolish I am and wasted my time on reading some childish novel instead of embracing my bed early. Fast-forward to the situation I'm f...
