Celestial is finally done mending the Archduke, she lost the last piece of her energy. She's getting dizzy and drained. She's worried of being a cadaver later, paniguradong piprituhin siya mamaya ng mga sermon at tanong ng kaniyang Ina.
She stood up and politely offered a hand for the Archduke. Siguro'y wrong move talaga na sabihin ang kaniyang pangalan, nagsimula na naman kasi itong manahimik matapos niya iyong gawin. For Pete's sake, she just want to atleast introduce herself properly.
She flexed her hand, "Can you stand?"
Isang masamang tingin ang natanggap niya mula sa Archduke, at katulad ng palagi nitong ginagawa ay tinampal nito ng malakas ang kaniyang kamay saka siya tinulak. Kulang na lang ay mabuwal siyang muli sa kaniyang pwesto, bukod sa wala na siyang lakas ay inaantok na rin siya. Baka sa susunod na tulak sa kaniya ng Archduke ay tuluyan na siyang matumba.
Archduke Chalcedony stood up by himself, "Of course, I still have my legs. And you healed me, maliban na lamang kung pasimple mo akong isinumpa."
Halos magkandaugaga siya sa kakaatras at kakayuko nang samaan siya nito ng tingin. Kung makatingin naman kasi ang Archduke, para siyang lalapain.
"Hindi po," malumanay niyang sagot. Well, she's always soft.
Tahimik silang tumayo sa kanilang pwesto at pinanuod ang mga sundalong bitbit ang kapwa nila sundalo. Ang iba'y patay na, ang iba naman ay nag-aagaw-buhay at ang iba'y tuluyang nakaligtas.
The Archduke seemed to be disappointed, "My soldiers were wiped out, what the hell?"
He started walking when he stumbled on one rock making him struggle a very little. Ngunit maagap si Celestial, naghahanap ng tyansang makatulong. Gusto niya kasing bumawi, dahil kung hindi nakialam ang archduke ay mabibitbit siya ng mga Maharlikang iyon pabalik sa Eufrata. Ano na lamang ang mangyayari sa kaniya?
"Aalalayan ko na po kayo pabalik sa Kastilyo."
Ganoon na lamang nagtagis ang bagang ng Archduke, naramdaman niya ang pagkairita nito. She looked up to see his crimson eyes getting darker again. She swallowed hard and took steps back, masyado namang pikon ang Archduke, 'di pwedeng mabiro, mukhang hindi nabakunahan noong bata pa.
"Are you seriously mocking me, or you're just looking down on me?" He asked claiming the steps she took as he leaned towards her, "Gusto mo na naman ba'ng masakal?"
Biglang napayuko si Celestial hindi sa takot kundi sa lungkot, "Sorry."
"Put-- Argh!" The Archduke was about to curse when he stumbled on a rock again losing his balance. He finally flinched a little for the first time.
Good thing Celestial was on guard, she immediately held the Archduke and innocently helped him to regain his balance. But the Archduke hated it, he slapped her hand away and pushed her hard making her fell on the ground, "How dare you touch me, imbecile!"
Celestial didn't expect anything about her temper, but for another time she lost it. The Archduke is too much, she just want to help him! She immediately rose and made her little foot kick his long legs.
Chalcedony froze to realize what she did, "Did you just tried to kick me, little bitch?" He asks.
She thought he would slap her, but she shivered when he devilishly laugh. Mukhang ipinapamukha nito sa kaniyang isang katangahan ang kaniyang ginawa at sa mga mata nito'y isa lamang siya katatawanan.
