Page 73 – The Arrow Of Sorrow And Pain
Sa sobrang gulat at kaba, namalayan ko na lang na nasa loob na kami ng target shooting room habang may hawak-hawak akong palaso at pana na gawa sa bakal.
Napalundag ako sa pwesto nang nakita ko ang pamilyar na itim na combat boots ng Emperor. Umakyat ang aking tingin mula sa boots niya hanggang nakatitig na ako muli sa nakangisi niyang mukha.
Ayon kayna Roland na sinang-ayunan ni Knidn, hindi naman raw nag paparticipate mismo ang Emperor sa mga trainings ng tagasunod niya. May mga tao siya pa rito. Kaya naman laking gulat ko, at marahil maging si Knidn, nang sinabi niya na siya ang mag tetraining sa akin ngayon.
“You've been taught the concepts and a little application right?” tanong ng Emperor.
I knew Knidn was somewhere around the room pero dahil puno ako ng kaba, hindi ko mahanap ang lakas para hanapin kung nasaan siya.
Napatango na lang ako.
“What’s the purpose of your mouth if you’re not using it, Zony Evviola?”
I'm back to being Zony Evviola to him, not niece. A red flag of danger.
Ba't ko ba kasi siya niyakap? Showing my affections for my uncle had an opposite effect. Unlike normal people, instead of going soft, he turned into this unfeeling, cold machine.
“I sense fear. Overwhelming fear.”
Naglakad siya ng marahan, making a circle around me. He talked while stalking his prey, “Paralyzing fear. In a battlefield, fear like this would kill you.”
The Emperor paused in front of me, “We can’t have that. Imagine your Aunt if you died. My Linnaea might hate me now but if you died under my care, my Linnaea would never forgive me.”
It’s about Tita Lin. The reason why I'm here, the reason why he forced me to be here, it’s all about Tita Lin. He considered me as someone who connects the two of them.
‘Yun lang ako sa kaniya. Niece is just a title for him. An empty title.
The Emperor tilted his neck to the right side, his eyes directly on my face, he said, “..and you make me human. You made me remember what it was like..
...what it was like before the last time tears fell down from these eyes.”
Itinuro niya ang kaniyang mga mata using his right fore and middle finger.
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko.
You make me human.
That’s not related to Tita Lin at all.
“For these reasons, you can’t disappear on me, niece. Even death won’t steal you away. I will make sure of it and I will see to it personally.”
Tumalikod siya sa akin, “Are you ready, De Silva?”
What?
“Yes, my Emperor.” sagot ng kausap niya. Humakbang pagilid ang Emperor na naging dahilan kung bakit tumambad sa akin si Knidn.
