Shenrin's Pov
Being in this form is so difficult.
Gusto kong maalala na ko ni Corin. I want to hold her and protect her like the way I used to do.
She is so damn elegant now. I miss her so much. Seeing her like this is not in my plan but I have to suffer just to show her that I am still here for her.
Sanji will pay for this. I should have killed those 11 demons siding him that night at Corin's Royal Ball. This is all my fault... All of this wouldn't happen in the first place..
" Keiko... " tawag ko kay Keiko sa aking isipan.
Malayo man o malapit, si Keiko lang ang makakarinig sakin. Hindi naman nagtagal at narinig ko na ang tinig niya.
" Yes Lord Shenrin, "
I know Keiko have information for me. Hindi dahil baby lang ako ngayon ay wala nang natitirang kapangyarihan sa akin.
Nagkamali ka Sanji ng binangga mo. Pagsisihan mong inagaw mo sakin si Corin. I know the real you now and I will show Corin what kind of demon you are once.
I am my Majesty's Raika. I am the power of this Kingdom. No one even you can get away with me. I will end this madness you made.
Keiko's Pov
Roaming this whole kingdom is not an easy job. Nauubos na ang hininga ko sa kakatakbo sa malawak na lupain ng Khan.
Mabilis ang aking pagtakbo dahil isa maraming demons ang pakalat kalat sa ngayon. Napinto nalang ako ng marinig ko si Lord Shenrin.
"Keiko.. " tawag niya sakin.
I stop on my tracks as soon as I heard him.
" Yes Lord Shenrin, " sagot ko at hinintay muli ang kanyang tinig.
I can hear the blowing of the wind on this forest away from the kingdom. Iniikot ko ang kaharian araw-araw simula ng nawala si Lord Shenrin. This is his work as a Raika before and he is still the Raika.
The chirping sound of birds on the trees is such a relaxing music in my ears. Hearing Lord Shenrin makes me feel that change is coming.
Matagal na katahimikan ang lumipas bago ko narinig ng malinaw ang tinig ni Lord Shenrin.
" I need you to protect me and your Majesty, I have a feeling that Sanji is planning something dangerous against me. " utos niya na masugid kong gagawin.
This is the first time na kinailangan ni Lord Shenrin ang proteksyon ko. Isa pa, ang kamahalan ang pinakamahalaga sa lahat, this time my last card was what Lord Shenrin is asking for. I will not let him down.
Its a matter of my life and death. My hideous demon form is being ask of its service and its my pleasure to serve the most powerful master on the demon world.
" Yes Lord Shenrin as you wished. Say the word now. "
Naramdaman ko ang presensiya niya at sinabing...
" Release. "
Ang katagang yun na ang permiso. Her Majesty can't command me anymore. I was set to one task and my hideous demon will finish it no matter what happen. Its a pledge demons of my kind do. We can be very dangerous if needed.
My true form will show as soon as my master got threatened. I will be around My Majesty 24/7 starting now.
Sanji's Pov
I'm on my way to Corin. She's at the conference. And f*ck. Shenrin is still there with her. Wherever she is, Shenrin is close.
How can I distract her. Kailangan niyang iwanan si Shenrin sa akin sa ayaw at sa gusto niya.
Inayos ko ang neck tie ko at lumabas na ng kotse.
Habang tumatagal na nasa tabi siya ni Corin ay unti-unti niyang nakukuha ang loob nito. Babaguhin ng enerhiya ni Shenrin ang ugali ni Corin. He didn't become her Raika for nothing.
There must be a way para mapaghiwalay ko silang dalawa.
Knowing Shenrin, alam kong may plano siya. I should prevent something inappropriate to happen kung hindi... ano mang oras na magkamali ako ay babalik siya sa kanyang tunay na anyo.
Corin's Pov
Kasalukuyan akong nasa isang meeting ng maramdaman ko si Keiko.
I didn't called him pero nakakapagtatakang nagpunta siya ng walang permiso.
He appears from the shadows pero kakaiba ang aura niya. Nagbago ang itsura ni Keiko. He turned bigger and he looks more stronger na maski ako ay kinakabahan.
" Yes Keiko, what are you doing here. " tanong ko sa kanya kahit medyo natatakot na ko sa kanya.
" Lord Shenrin summoned me and I have a duty to fulfill. "
What? This is the first he talks so serious. He's not even looking afraid of me anymore. I wonder what's wrong with him.
" Shenrin can't summon you. He's just a baby and we're not sure if he's really Shenrin. "
I looked at Shenrin then I looked at Keiko. He looks at me intently. He almost seemed angry.
" He is my master. I'm sure your Highness. I am not a fool. " mariing wika niya.
Hindi naman ganito magsalita si Keiko. What happened.
" He can't summon you. " madiing wika ko kay Keiko. I am his master and no one else can summon him than me.
Tumingin ako sa mata ni keiko ngunit nakapagtatakang hindi siya natatakot ngayon. He's growing more furr by the moment.
" He is not JUST a baby Your Majesty, he is our Kingdom's Raika. He is yours. " he said with conviction.
Naguguluhan na kong masyado sa mga nangyayari.
" We need to visit Hadoki. " dagdag pa ni Keiko ng hindi na ako makapagsalita.
I was not given a chance to talk. Basta nalang lumapit si Keiko kay Shenrin at lumabas si Nadare ng walang permiso. They both take us to the Kingdom of Khan.
I will not wait any longer. If this kid will not return in its real form, I have no choice but to leave it to someone else or if its really Shenrin then I need to know the story why all of this is happening.
I forgot to tell Sanji. He's on his way to my office. I pause in my thoughts and brush it off.
I'm confused, I don't know why Sanji is in my life when in fact I don't remember any of him at all. Never mind , I'll see him tomorrow instead.
