"Sword of destiny?" Sabay na tanong nina Ayeng at Yanna.
"Yes, it was the powerful sword that everyone wants to own. Many people were looking for it but when they found out it, no one was able to pull it from the ground." Paliwanag ni Yuhan.
Matthew looked Yanna.
You are a really strange woman. Aniya sa sarili.
Yumuko si Yanna dahil sa klase ng tingin ni Matthew sa kanya.
"But how... Did your wife get it?" Kunot-noong tanong ni Philip at tiningnan pa si Yanna nang nagtatanong na tingin.
"I... I-"
"She is my wife. We are one, no wonder she could summon the sword." Pagsisinungaling ni Matthew.
Tumahimik naman si Yuhan at hindi na nagsalita.
"Yeah... But..." Hindi na tinuloy ni Philip ang sasabihin at tumango-tango na lang saka ngumiti.
Nilapitan niya si Yanna at walang sabi-sabing niyakap ito ng mahigpit.
Matthew clenched his jaw while Yuhan looked away and Ayeng tried to push Philip away from Yanna.
"Hey, how dare you hug a noble consort?" Asik ni Ayeng nang lumayo na si Philip kay Yanna.
Yanna was shocked but smiled after.
"It's okay." Yanna said whil smiling.
Matthew's eyebrows were scrunched while looking at her questioningly.
"It's okay?" Ulit ni Matthew sa sinabi ni Yanna at nagpipigil sa sarili.
Tiningnan niya ng masama si Philip. Hindi siya close dito dahil kay Andrew ito palaging sumasama.
"Thank you so much for helping me. I'm sorry for being rude at you earlier and I even shouted at you. I just realized now that you were a big help. If you weren't here I'm sure I'll be dead now and armless." Nakangiting sabi ni Philip.
Ngumiti naman si Yanna.
"Hey, do you even recognize me as your saviour?" Inis na tanong ni Matthew.
"Oh, thank you." Hindi seryoso ang pagkakasabi ni Philip no'n saka humarap ulit kay Yanna.
"From now on, I promise that I will protect you. I consider my life as yours. And I am willing to be your personal guard and servant."
Lumipad ang tingin ni Matthew sa sinabi ni Philip.
"What?! What a joke! You are not coming at my house."
"I won't come to your chamber so I think it's okay."
Napabuga ng malakas na hangin si Matthew dahil sa inis.
Nakita ni Yanna yon kaya nakangiti niyang hinarap si Philip.
"I'm sorry but I can't accept it. Your thank you is enough for me. I maybe the consort but I don't hold the rules in our mansion. And also my husband is the master in our house." Mahinahon at nakangiti na sabi ni Yanna.
Sapagkat nakasimangot ay naintindihan naman ni Philip yon. Iningusan niyang tiningnan si Matthew.
Samantalang si Matthew naman ay taas-noong tiningnan si Philip dahil sa sinabi ni Yanna.
"I understand but I hope you will let me visit you always."
"You–"
"What? I am not visiting you but her." Putol ni Philip kay Matthew.
