Chapter 49: The Chief Chevalier

Chapter 49: The Chief Chevalier

He's the best and that's according to everyone. He's the chief of the highest ranked Knights in our Kingdom. I don't know if how does ranking works in other Kingdoms but Chevaliers are the highest securities in Beryllion. And he is the highest amongst, because he is the Chief. He got the position within three years, it's been three long years. He was just a mischievous boy with no direction back then, but right now, he's far from that boy I met. He's far from that someone who appeared on my window back then. So far...that even I am a Princess, I couldn't reach him.

Wala akong nakitang emosyon sa kaniyang mukha, wala na ang lahat ng hinahangaan ko sa kaniya doon...dahil tuluyan ko na siyang minahal sa kaniyang bagong anyo. Hindi na paghanga ang nararamdaman ko, sobra sobra na ito. At hindi ko alam kung paanong aalis sa nakakalunod na sitwasyon. Ang natutulog at sarado kong puso ay muling tumibok at tila nagbukas kasabay ng pagbukas ng kanyang kakaibang pakpak.

It's bigger now, and its color were darker. Ang itim at puti niyang pakpak ang nagpaagaw sa atensyon ng lahat, ngunit natitigan ko na ang mga pakpak na iyon kaya naman sa mismong mukha niya na ako tumitig. How I longed to see him...not in a situation like this.

Nagkita kaming muli sa nakakalungkot at nakakatakot na panahon, ang huli naming pagkikita'y hindi malinaw at mas naging malabo ang muli naming pagkikita. Dahil ang paa ng bawat isa'y nasa hukay na, lalo na ang nasa kaniya.

He's a freaking Chevalier, a chief chevalier and he'll be on the front line! His life first before ours, that's what it means. He'd pledged his loyalty to the kingdom, to us, and even if it means death... he'll go for it just for our sake, for the kingdom, for the people and for the monarchs.

“G—George Ezekiel...”

His cute face were no more, but indeed turned into a gorgeous and handsome man he has always been. His muscles were now broader, perfectly fitting his dazzling armour and breastplate. His sword that could take a life in a single slash valiantly shines in its coon. His hair was clean, his ruby eyes were menacing and more attractive than before. It's been so long that I forgot his eyes were indeed ruby. His sharp nose looks fine, his thick eyebrows and long eyelashes grew healthier. His pale skin turned fair, probably because of his trainings. I saw him gritted his teeth while also staring at me, and I was completely mesmerized by how his jaw moved and clenched.

The boy named George Ezekiel was no more, he now turned into a dauntless stalwart man every girls could dream to have. My George Ezekiel, is not my George Ezekiel anymore, he has completely transformed and successfully became a chevalier. His promise seemed sadly forgotten, and beyond being captivated by his enchanting looks, pain of agony and sorrow suddenly shot me. For the man I have always loved, has forgotten his promises to me.

We were suddenly strangers, with no past, no present...as well as future.

"Emerald..."

Napapitlag ako at agad na nag-iwas ng tingin nang tawagin ako ni Kate, "A-ano?"

"The minister is introducing the leaders, are you listening?" Tanong niya at hinaplos ang likod ko, "Are you alright? One chevalier will be assigned to us, to protect us. One chevalier will pledge a loyalty to every single monarchs, we must listen for us to choose better."

Ganoon na lamang kumalabog ang dibdib ko. Ngumiti na lamang ako bilang pagtugon, "I am fine. I see..."

Muli akong lumingon kay George Ezekiel na ngayon ay nakatuon na ang atensyon sa unahan. Patuloy na nagsalita ang ministro ngunit wala akong naunawaan dahil patuloy na inaagaw ni Ezekiel ang aking atensyon.

Nang muling magtama ang aming paningin ay muli akong napaluha. I can still see it...his emotions. Alam kong siya parin ang Ezekiel na kaibigan ko noon, ang Ezekiel na patago kong minahal. Alam kong siya pa rin iyon. At alam kong hindi na rin muling magtatagpo ng maayos ang aming mga landas, gayunpaman ay natutuwa ako dahil muli kaming nagkita kahit na sa hindi magandang pagkakataon.
