Performance
Robin's POV
"Get the fuck out, Maximilian," seryosong sabi ko sa kanya.
He's in my room that he let me use, laughing at me. This fucker is a fucking King? All I can fucking see is a fucking stupid man dressed in royalty clothes shining as if there's no tomorrow.
"Parang hindi ako hari kung kausapin mo ako," he chuckled again. "What?" he asked when he noticed me staring.
"You look like shit."
"Palagi mo akong sinasabihan niyan, Rhiannon," tumawa siyang muli. "Gusto mong sumaya?"
"If it involves you, I'm good," I declined, not even hiding that I don't want to come out.
"I'm about to do something fun, you want to come with me?"
What he said caught my attention but I pretended not to care and maintained my serious facial expression.
"We recently found out about the vampire's lair, you want to go with me?"
My heart skipped a beat. Alistair went in my mind and I got worried about him. "What do you mean?"
"Do not worry, we won't cause a problem," he smiled. "We're just going to play a song for them."
"What do you fucking mean?"
"Disguise ourselves as performers, just the two of us. You want that?" ngumisi siya.
"Are you really a king?" nag abot ang mga kilay ko.
"Hey, that's foul!" he laughed. "Are you coming with me?"
Come to think of it, playing a song for those shits cannot be that bad right?
Without saying a word, I stood up and got my cloak. I even saw Maximillian grinning because I agreed with him.
"No guards for you?" tanong ko nang makita ko na kami lamang talaga ang lumabas ng palasyo.
"You need a guard?" seryosong tanong niya.
"Do I look like I need one?" sarkastiko kong tanong.
Maximillian laughed and shook his head.
"We're taking my portal," anunsyo ko at agad ginamit ang aking kapangyarihan.
"You really know their place like the palm of your hands," he smiled a little.
I stiffened, right.
"Why are they celebrating?" tanong ko nang makita ko ang dami ng bampira na nasa bungad ng palasyo.
"I think it's about the war," he shrugged. "Don't worry, they can't sense that we're not like them."
"I'm not worried," baliwala ko sa kanya at naunang mag lakad.
"You smell like roses," aniya. I think it's because of his power, he made me smell like roses so the vampires won't smell our blood. "Wear this," I stopped walking when Maximillian handed me a mask.
It is a red mask, covering just half my face with diamonds engraved in it. He was wearing one too, the same with mine.
"Do I have to?" reklamo ko ngunit tinanggap ko parin ang binigay niya at sinuot iyon.
"You've been here, I'm guessing that they know you already," aniya habang nakatingin sa labas ng palasyo ng mga bampira.
"Only two vampire saw my face," pagbibigay alam ko sa kanya.
"Who?"
I started walking again with Maximillian beside me. "Amon," I said. "And their king."
Memories of me staying in their palace flooded my mind but I chose not to mind it.
