Chapter 40: Love And Hate Situations

Hakuya's POV

I reached the castle with Yui in my arms. Sinubukan naman ng mga maid na tumulong pero hindi ako pumayag. Hindi ko hahayaang may hahawak sa kanyang iba habang mahina siya.

"Prince Hakuya! What ha---" Biglang natigil si Dash sa pagsasalita nang makita niya si Yui na walang malay at agad na itinuro ang kwarto niya.

'They moved her room, huh.'

I immediately but gently laid her on the bed and covered her with a blanket. She looks peaceful in her sleep. Maya-maya lang ay dumating na ang royal physician at tiningnan ang lagay ni Yui.

"How is she..?" I nervously asked. Even though she just fainted, I still don't know the reason if it's really fatigue or not. I observed the physician's actions and felt complicated when I saw him frown.

"Your Highness..." He paused and seem to be arguing with himself whether to tell me or not. I waited for a while, before he finally sighed and shook his head.

"It's nothing."

Like what?!

"OI! There is something, right?! Tell me!" Pero sa inis ko ay umiling lang siya at tinapik ang balikat ko.

This old man...

"This is for the better." He said, making me frown in confusion and annoyance. What does he mean? I was just about to ask him when he mumbled a sentence that made me pause.

"You better stop running away." And then he left.

Hindi nalang ako umimik at nanatili sa kinatatayuan ko. Hindi ko alam kung anong ibig sabihin niya, but it hit me.

Hard.

Bakit niya sinabi yun? Ano bang ibig sabihin niya?

Everything now in my mind is a mess.

Frustratingly, I rubbed my hair and sighed before plopping down on the chair before Yui's bed.

"Nii-nii is the best!"

"Uwaa...I'm glad I can be with Nii-nii today!"

"I like Nii-nii a lot!"

"If I ever get a husband, of course it should be Nii-nii. No one could replace him!"

"Nii-nii...you won't leave, right?"

I did promise that...

"Yet I broke it along with her heart."

Yui's POV

Where...am I?

I look around and saw everything in black. It took a few minutes for me to confirm that I'm in a tight room, probably a shed. It's dusty and dirty, I can even hear rats squeaking from the far corner.

'If Nii-nii is here, I'm sure he would be looking for me and will take me out right away.'

"Nii-nii..."

I silently sobbed again as I remember what happened. I sat on the dirty floor, my figure a mess while crying when I heard something from the door.

"That girl is the princess. Who knew we'll be in luck? Ano kaya magandang gawin..."

"Hey! Don't hurt her yet. We still haven't received any orders from the higher ups."

"Tsk, KJ mo naman. Ayos lang yan, basta di halata."

"Ewan nga sayo ulol. Basta ikaw papagalitan ha. Wala akong alam diyan."
