Unpredictable Love

Kabanata 17: Trapped

Days have passed and I'm still confused. I don't know if I'm going to believe what the king told me about my identity. I'm still weighing the truth that I can't find.

Flashback

"Let me tell you a story"

"Once a upon a time there was a queen and a king who fell in love with each other but unfortunately they choose to let go for the sake of others happiness." He is staring at the sun as he say those words. While I was just sitting and listening.

"Why? It's better if they fight for their love" I said. He smiled bitterly and face me with delight .

"How could they fight for their love if the whole world is against them?" Natatawang wika nito. That's stupid! If they truly love each other they should fight for it even if the world rejected them.

"They tried, they tried to fight but they have responsibilities. Maraming hadlang pero nagpumilit ang dalawa hanggang sa nagkikita sila ng palihim kahit kasal na sila at may sarling mga pamilya"

"Naging mapaglaro ang tadhana. They cheated with their own husband and wife. They disappoint the whole empire. Until that Gumawa na ang mga nasa taas para mapaghiwalay ang dalawa dahil kahit saan tignan ay hindi sila pwedeng magsama. The queen is destine to destroy the king of the evilness, she is destine to destroy her lover, but look what she done. She love him and give everything to him. Without any hesitation" Patago niyang pinahid ang luhang lumandas sa kanyang pisnge. Isang ngiti ang sumilay sa kanyang walang buhay na mga labi but I can see happiness in his eyes as he look at me.

"Dahil sa maling pagmamahalan ay may magandang nagbunga. A child. Their child" dito siya ngumiti ng malapad habang nasa akin ang titig.

"And that child is me?" Tanong ko ritong wala sa sarili. He nod.

"But unfortunately that child was known as the princess of Magicis Empire. No one know that she was the spring of a mistake. Her mother hide her true identity and told everyone that she was bearing her hunband's child for her safety." Dito na ako nalito sa mga pinagsasabi niya. Princess of Magicis? How come? I was just a simple daughter of a witch! Nothing more!

"There was a traitor inside the empire and ordered to kill the princess. Isang babaylan ang kanyang inutusan na patayin ka. Pero naawa siya sayo. Pinalabas niyang patay kana but the truth is tinago ka niya at inalagaan. Iyon ang kinilala mong ina Amaris. She is Nimha right?"

"Sa mga nakalipas na panahon ay parati akong nakaantabay sayo. Nakatingin sa malayo at pinagmamasdan kang nasa malayo. "

"Kung ganon bakit ngayon kalang nag pakita?"

"Because I know that one day they will find you. You can't run away with your responsibility as a destined princess. Your mother is a goddess Amaris, it's already in your blood line to eliminate evil but unfortunately you're half. Half goddess and a half demon"

"Amaris!" Napaayos ako ng upo nang tawagin ako ni Azure. "Saan ka galing?" Tanong ko rito. Tumabi siya ng upo sa akin at sinandal ang kanyang ulo sa aking balikat.

"Sa Magicis. " napabuntong hininga ako. I can't go back to Magicis. I need to come up with a good story bago ako bumalik doon. Ayokong ipagkalulong si Azure o kaya ang hari. May part na saking naniniwala sa sinabi nila and there's this feeling that I can't hurt them. Na gi guilty ako pag naiisip kong isumbong sila. All they do is to take care of me and look after me. Mabait sila sa akin dito.

"Are they still looking after me?"

"Hayst. Yes of course! Halos ipalibot na nga ng emperador ang buong mundo makita kalang. And guess what."
