Episode Seven 🌸[Xyraen's POV]
I turned my gaze at the door when I felt someone's presence outside. Nandito ako ngayon sa aking study room dito sa living quarter ko. Minsan lang akong magawi rito simula ng matapos akong mag-aral.
It's been two days since my father summoned me to his office. Simula nun ay hindi na nya ulit ako pinatawag. I also heard from Anya that he was busy in the court at ang aking ina naman ay tumutulong sa paghahanda para sa kasal ko.
I smirked. Alam kong ginagawa nya lamang ito ngayon dahil ayaw nyang may masabi ang Empress sakanya.
I'm also surprised na hindi pa nagagawi rito ang kawal o eunuch para kunin ako upang tumira na sa palasyo.
I clicked my tongue when the person outside the door didn't still make a move to come in.
"Come in" I casually said then closed the book that I'm reading.
After a minute ay bumukas na din sawakas ang pintuan. The room was immediately filled by a manly fragrance and strong aura that was from my visitor. Kaya nalaman kong may tao sa labas dahil naramdaman ko ang presensya niya kahit na hindi ako isang martial artist or someone who's skilled in fighting, it's just that his presence can't be ignored.
Kaswal itong umupo sa sofa na katapat ng sakin at tanging lamesa lamang ang nasa pagitan naming dalawa.
I don't know how to face this man but I still remained calm and decided to just go on with the flow. Good thing about me having a second chance to live is that no one knows about what I did before.
Pinasadahan ko ang lalaking prenteng nakaupo sa harapan ko. He's still wearing his mask only showing his eyes that stared at me coldly. Hindi na sya nakasuot ng military uniform ngayon bagkus ay suot nito ang isang simpleng kulay black na roba. Nakatali naman ang buhok nito into a ponytail.
Tinitigan lamang ako nito kaya ganon rin ang ginawa ko. I admit. He is really intimidating but I won't let him suffice at the sight of me getting intimidated by him. I wonder kung kailan ko makikita ang kabuohan ng mukha nya?
Ilang minuto pa ang lumipas at ganon lamang ang nangyari. Nagtitigan lamang kami na para bang binabasa ang kaluluwa ng isa't isa ngunit sa huli ay ako na ang naunang umiwas.
"What do you want?" kaswal na tanong ko rito at muling binuklat ang librong binabasa ko kanina. Mas mabuti pa sigurong dito ko nalang ituon ang atensyon ko sa libro.
"Is this how you treat a royalty?" Malamig na tanong nito pero hindi ko pa rin ito tinapunan ng tingin. Hindi ako natatakot sakanya dahil wala namang iba na nandito tsaka siya itong bigla-bigla na lang pumunta dito. I wasn't really expecting him to visit me. So, bahala sya!
"I'm sorry but you didn't informed us beforehand that you're coming. We could've prepared a feast for you." Sarcastic kong sabi.
Hindi ito nagsalita kaya sinulyapan ko ito gamit ang peripheral vision ko. Medyo nagulat pa ako ng makitang nakatitig lang pala ito saakin.
I sighed then closed the book and finally faced him.
"Look, you wouldn't secretly barged in our mansion just to stare at me, right? Sabihin mo na sakin ang gusto mo'ng sabihin. Is it about the wedding? It's 3 months from now, 7th day of the month. I think his majesty already know about it."
