The Princess of the Forgotten Tale (Frozen Series #1)

Chapter 5: Suddenly, It's Dark

Encountering the real thing when I arrived here at Peirronia about the Council, I started to doubt who the real villains were. I don't know what's the difference between the officials and criminals anymore. Who's right and who's in the wrong? It made me start to think that being right and wrong is subjective.

I started to believe that maybe we all have different views on what's right and wrong. I'm slowly starting to believe that maybe we all just grew up in different lives, and that's what makes us all different. Or maybe I just realized it late.

Kasalukuyan akong nasa taas ng puno na malapit sa isang mansion na kulay puti. Lahat ng ilaw ay nakabukas at iyon na lang ang natatanging bahay na buhay na buhay sa gitna ng gabi dahil may selebrasyon na nagaganap doon ngayon. Prente akong nakaupo sa may sanga ng puno habang pinapanood ang paggalaw ng mga daliri ng orasan sa pocket watch na dala ko sa tuwing may misyon ako.

Maya-maya pa ay may nakita akong tao na nababalot ng itim na kasuotan na papalapit sa mansyon. May dala itong malaking sibat sa isa nitong kamay at nakakuyom ang isang kamao. Nang pumatak nang alas dose ang oras ay tinago ko ang aking orasan at nilagay ang hood ko. Bago pa makalapit ang taong iyon sa mansyon ay tumalon na ako sa likod nito. Napalingon siya at tinapat ang kanyang armas sa'kin pero tinitigan ko lang siya.

"Sino ka?!" Sigaw niya at hindi ko alam kung kinakabahan ba siya o ano. Dahan-dahan akong lumapit sa kanya at napaatras naman siya. "H-Huwag kang lalapit!"

But I ignored his remarks. Just when I was about to stop, he ran towards me and threw his weapon. When it was about to hit me, I jumped over it and kicked the spear to the ground.

"Ako na ang magsasabi, walang magandang kahihinatnan ang balak mong gawin dahil maraming nagbabantay sa labas," my voice were deep and tried to threaten him with my statement.

Nagulat naman siya pero nakabawi rin agad ng sagot. "P-Paano mo nalaman?! Isa ka rin ba sa mga nagbabantay sa mga hayop na iyan?!"

I rolled my eyes. If I'm given the chance to guard and protect those stupid and useless mages, I'd rather be imprisoned than to be with them. Imagine protecting some garbage, totally futile.

"I told you already. Why would you attack a residence, having a party, with a lot of powerful mages, and the security is tight? Don't be stupid." I stated.

Sumama naman ang timpla ng mukha niya. "Wala kang pakielam! Sila ang may dahilan kung bakit hinuli nila si Papa! Pinangakuan nila siya ng pera pero tinraydor lang nila kami!"

Somehow, I felt for him. I know how he feels, and it sucks, knowing that we can't do anything to those abusive people. Without a choice, we end up avenging them to the ones who did it to us.

"I know how you feel, pero wala sa ayos ang balak mo. Bakit ka aatake sa maraming tao at mag-isa ka lang?"

"Wala na akong pakialam! Kung wala ka nang ibang magandang sasabihin, mauuna na ako!" Sabi niya at nagsimula na ulit maglakad palapit sa mansyon.
