Chapter 9: Ambushed
NAPAKUNOT ng noo ang prinsipe. Bakas sa mukha nito ang pagdududa. “Who are you, and what are you doing here?”
Selene’s mind went blank when she looked down on his wound.
“I’m afraid this is not the time for introduction, Your Highness. Your wound needs to be treated immediately.”
She was about to take a step closer, but the prince’s grip on his sword stilled.
“Who are you?” ulit nitong tanong.
With that, Selene has left with no choice but to answer. He might have mistaken her for an enemy. “I’m one of your guests, Your Highness. My name is Selene Quincy, daughter of Viscount Weston Quincy.”
Dahil sa sinabi niya ay dahan-dahan nitong ibinaba ang hawak na espada.
“What are those royal guards doing? I already advised them that outsiders are not allowed in this area.”
“Your High—”
Natigilan si Selene sa pagsasalita nang bigla na lang mapaupo ang prinsipe kasabay ng pagkakabagsak ng espada nito sa sahig. He grunted while holding on to his wound.
“Damn. Just where the hell is Darren already?” He murmured.
Mas lalong lumala ang pagdurugo ng sugat nito ngayon. Kaya naman ay walang pagdadalawang isip na tinastas ni Selene ang laylayan ng suot niyang gown.
“What are you doing now?” The prince looked at her, shocked.
“We need to stop the bleeding.” Nagsisimula na rin kasi itong mamutla.
Bago pa makaangal ang prinsipe ay tuluyan na siyang nakalapit dito. Mabilis niyang itinapal ang tinastas na tela sa sugat nito.
“You...” the prince grunted again as he squeezed his eyes shut.
Selene panicked when the prince’s eyes dropped close.
“Your Highness! Your Highness!” Niyugyog niya ito sa balikat pero hindi pa rin ito dumilat.
“Your Highness! You still need to be awake!” Mahirap na at baka may iba pang makakita sa kanila. The other people might have a different perception of what happened.
Nang hindi pa rin ito dumilat ay napalingon muna siya sa paligid bago sinampal sampal ang pisngi nito para magising.
“Your Highness! Open your eyes already! Your Highness!”
Mukhang effective naman ang ginawa niya dahil dahan-dahan itong nagmulat ng mga mata. “Do you want to die? How dare you slap a member of the royal family?”
She frowned. “I have no time to care about that for now. Can you stand? Where’s the infirmary here? We need to go there as soon as possible.”
Akmang aalalayan niya ito patayo nang may biglang nagsalita. Pakiramdam niya ay tumaas ang balahibo niya sa paraan ng pagtawag nito sa pangalan niya.
“Selene.”
Dahan-dahan siyang napaangat ng tingin. Apollo is standing right in front of them with his golden eyes bore into her.
“What are you doing? What happened with the prince?” he asked in a low, cold voice.
“Great. Now it’s the Duke,” Prince Cadmus sneered.
“He got stabbed. We need to—”
“Your Highness!” Sabay-sabay silang napalingon sa bagong dating.
