Chapter 16
There is a dungeon inside the palace.
There are cells. The metal bars are made of anti-vampire chemical kaya imposibleng makatakas ang nakakulong doon. It can only be opened by someone from the outside.
The dungeon looks old at parang matagal ng hindi napapasok. Mukhang naging mapayapa ang nasasakupan ng hari sa mga nagdaang taon kung hindi man lang nagamit ang dungeon.I'm watching the three vampires in uniform with cold-looking faces and matching moves leave the room, leaving me and the king.
I get it. It was his watchmen. Those unfamiliar faces, I knew that it was them.
" Naramdaman mo nanaman bang may mangyayaring hindi maganda?" tanong ko.
Nakatalikod sa'kin si Valentine.
Naka-halukipkip ito habang nakatayo sa harapan ng kulungan ng rogue. He looks untouchable. He just stood there, brooding.
" It's a good thing that he is caught finally."sabi ko pa.
This time he snapped his head to look at me. Galit ito base pa lang sa paraan ng pagkakasalubong ng kilay at ang nagtatagis na bagang.
" Do you know what you have done?"
What?
" Teka. Bakit parang galit ka sa'kin? Kung hindi dahil sa'kin hindi niyo mahuhuli ang halimaw na 'yan."
" You really have no fear, huh? You could have been in danger! Imbis na magtawag ng tulong, you chose to face him head on. Are you tired of living?"
Nagsalubong ang kilay ko.
" I am a vampire warrior, never did I run from a fight, your highness, especially from a rogue."
Why does he keep doubting me? Para bang alam niya na hindi ko kayang kalabanin ang isang rogue.
" If this is your way of saying I worried you, it's more like an insult."
" I don't care if you are a vampire warrior or you've fought in battles but you are here in my territory. When I tell you to stay away, stay away."
" Paano ko gagawin 'yun? Ang halimaw ang umatake sa'kin. At natural lang naman na labanan ko siya. Aantayin ko bang patayin ako nito?"
My mother taught me self-control on my emotions for many years but I don't understand because when I'm talking to Valentine, I can't control them.
" You are angry because I had him first before you did, right? Hindi mo matanggap na naunahan kita."
He hates losing.
The fact that I almost got the rogue angered him. He should be the one to take the credits.He looked at me like I am a puzzle he cannot understand.
" Have you not heard what I said?"
" Narinig kita. At malinaw sa'kin ang gusto mong sabihin. Huwag kang mag-alala, kamahalan. Hindi na ako makikialam sa mga plano mo dahil wala ako sa posisyon para magmayabang. You can have all the credits for yourself."
Nagsukatan kami ng tingin.
Naputol lang iyon 'nung may kumatok sa pinto.
" Kamahalan, nandito na po si haring Sebastian."a voice of a woman said.Bakit nandito si haring Sebastian?
" I'll be there."sabi ni Valentine.
Naramdaman ko ang pagsulyap niya sa'kin.
" You are one stubborn and complicated woman, do you know that?"
Napaawang ang labi ko sa sinabi niya bago ito umalis. Ni hindi ko siya nasagot.
