Her Wicked Battles

HWB 20

Day 11 - 8:02

"We had two Kingdoms then; the Fracus Kingdom and the Draguana Kingdom. They were both strong but only one was powerful.

King Lauwart of Fracus Kingdom and King Lathian of Draguana Kingdom became one that made our world peaceful. There was no harm, no war. There was no rising wall that made everyone can freely do whatever they want. No threats from both Kingdoms, no hate and just spreading love and amity."

"I envy them," biglaang komento ko na kinatingin sa akin ng kabuunan. Tamad akong sumandal sa upuan at pinatunong ang mga daliri sa lamesa.

"Yes, Ms. Landers?"

"They have a good relationship, don't they?"

"Do you mind to share what is your thinking right now, Ms. Landers?" Tanong ng taong robot habang dahan-dahang lumalakad sa gitna.

 Umangat ang gilid ng labi ko at itigil ang paggalaw ng daliri.

"Wala naman, nakakainggit lang sila."

"Hindi kami naniniwala sayo, Gakane. Alam kong marami kang alam." Sambit ni Arao na kinasulyap ko sa kaniya ng saglitan.

"Hindi naman kasi ako mangmang para walang alam." Tugon ko.

"Hanggang saan aabot iyang pagiging matago mo?" Bakas sa boses niya ang pagpipigil ang inis.

"Tell me something honest, Ms. Landers. Why did you think they are in a good relationship?"

Suminghap ako ng hangin bago iyon ibuga. "I don't know, why are you asking me?"

"King Lauwart married Queen Scycarina and they had a son named Lucurios while King Lathian married Queen Czarina and their daughter is..... Gakane. Are you her?" He continued that made my brows furrow.

"I am not her."

"Why not, hmm? Princess Gakane is pure kind and generous--"

"Which makes us different."

Kumibit-balikat ito at lumayo na sa akin.

"After so many years passed, Fracus Kingdom became chaotic because of dark witches and wizards. But, with the help of people from the Draguana Kingdom, Fracus Kingdom was back to normal."

Sa bawat kwentong nabubunyag ay unti-unting nagigising ang kaganahan kong makinig ng todo. Napaayos ako ng upo at patay ang mga matang nakatingin sa taong robot, ibinabaon sa utak ang bawat salitang binibitawan.

"My question is why do we have the Four Kingdoms?"

There is a lot of reason but I can only say one thing, even the good one can bring chaos.

"Ano nga pala sinabi ni Mentor?" Tanong ni Dyx habang humihikab.

"Ghad, cover your mouth!" Pagalit na sabi ni Arao dito dahil siya ang kaharap niya sa lamesa. Napatakip naman ang bakla.

"Bakit? Ano bang ginawa mo kanina?" Tanong ni Misty bago uminom ng tubig.

"Natulog, hehe."

"Tungkol lang naman sa dalawang kaharian noong sinaunang panahon natin."

"Oh? Anong pangalan?"

"Fra--"

"What if Garelle Kane Landers is reincarnation of Princess Gakane?" Napunta ang mga mata namin sa sinabi ni Arao, nakangisi itong nakatingin sa akin. 

Umiwas ako ng tingin at itinungkod ang kanang siko sa lamesa para patungan ng baba ko ang nakabukang kamay.

"Sino naman 'yang Princess Gakane?" Takang sabi ni Dyx.
