A Destructive Facade [Very Slow Update]

Chapter 16: Peasant

- Jafthalia -

I laugh along with Highness when Miyuri won't stop teasing Jay na nakasimangot na habang masama ang tingin kay Miyuri. Ang kanilang asawa ay napailing na lamang sa dalawa na para bang sanay na sila.

For now ay naglalakad kami sa pasilyo Kagagaling pa lang namin sa morning walk. Well not until Miyuri, Jay, and Highness faught someone.

I was actually really amaze how strong and awesome they are. Kanina ay halos hindi ako kumurap makita lamang silang makipaglaban, their move is flawless.

I wish i can fight like them.

"Shut it, Miyuri. That is so embarrassing. And you're creepy." Nahihiyang usal ni Jay.

Miyuri just laugh. "Oh come on now, Jay. It's funny. You literally curse at Damon but instead he said he will fuck you. Damn, he'll be hitting that part."

Damon smirk. "I could hit it any day."

"Disgusting." Silver commented.

Tinapunan ng masama na tingin ni Damon si Silver. "Says from the one who hit first."

"I atleast don't announce my intimate life."

"Your wife is literally the one who has been telling about us."

"It's because both of you kept telling her the story and if i may add, the details."

"Fucking gross." Alistair suddenly butted in.

Highness and i could only laugh.

"Guys, it's just girl things."

Jay groaned. "Seriously. Stop with this topic."

Miyuri smirk playfully.

"Fine."

I could only shake my head at them.

"Guys." Pagtatawag ko ng atensyon sa kanila. "You go ahead. I'll go change."

"Take your time." Highness said and wave at me.

Nginitian lamang ako ng iba habang binigyan ko naman sila ng tango. Humiwalay ako sa kanila upang magpalit ng damit sa kwarto namin ni Zaje habang sila naman ay papunta sa opisina ng aking asawa to report what happen.

Nakangiting naglalakad lamang ako habang nakasunod sa akin si Amora. Magaan ang bawat hakbang ko. Naririnig din ang tunog ng aking heels.

Lumiko ako at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad ngunit ilang minuto pa lamang ang lumipas ng mapatigil ako ng marinig ang aking pangalan.

"Empress Jafthalia."

Lumingon ako sa nagsalita at nakita ang Prinsesa ng Drevin na malawak ang ngiti sa akin. Pansin ko na sa kanyang likuran ay ang tatlong tagasilbi na nakayuko.

"Princess." Hinrap ko siya kasabay ng pagbati ko sa kanya.

"You were out for a morning walk, right?" Malambing na tanong nito.

Tumango ako. "Yes. Miyuri and the others invited me to go with them."

Lumawak ang ngiti niya dahil sa narinig. Naglakad siya papalapit sa aking direksyon habang sumunod naman ang kanyang mga tagasilbi.

Nanatili naman ako nakatitig sa kanya.

"It's no wonder they would invite you, Empress. They're the only friend you have in this place." Lumawak ang kanyang ngiti. "I have actually guess that the other higher ups won't bother to talk to your or be your friends. Maybe because they wouldn't want to associate their selves to a peasant who suddenly became an Empress."

Napaseryoso naman ako dahil sa aking narinig. Hindi ko gusto ang pananalita niya maging ang ibig niyang sabihin.

Tumigil siya sa paglalakad sa aking harapan at nginitian ako ng pagkatamis tamis. Nanatili naman akong seryoso.

"You know, Zaje never wanted to marry someone. But when the citizen of Garonia finally needed an Empress. I knew i was one of the best candidate to marry him. So when i saw you for the first time, i was curious. Why would Zaje suddenly marry a peasant like you when he could just marry me?"

Dahan-dahan niyang itinaas ang kanyang kamay at hinaplos ang aking mahabang buhok. Inilapit niya ang kanyang mukha sa aking tenga bago bumulong.

"I wonder, ano ba ang nakita ni Zaje sa'yo? May ginawa ka ba sa kanya? Did you bewitched him?"

Hindi ko mapigilan na mapakuyom ng kamao dahil sa kanyang tanong. I almost gritted my teeth ngunit pinigilan ko ang aking sarili.

"Princess, i think you should watch your words. I may be a peasant but that was before. Now, i'm already the Empress." I sweetly smile at her.

Naningkit ang kanyang mata dahil sa narinig. Kalaunan ay natawa siya. Maging ang kanyang mga kasamang tagasilbi ay nakita at narinig kong tumawa.

"It doesn't matter if you're already the Empress. The higher ups still see you as a peasant from another world and that is your big problem. I'm sure it won't be long once they decided to dethrone you."

Pagkatapos niyang sabihin iyon ay tuluyan niya akong linagpasan. Narinig ko pa ang mga tawanan nila habang naglalakad papalayo sa aking direksyon.

Bumuntong hininga na lamang ako at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad hanggang sa makarating ako sa kwarto namin ni Zaje. Pumasok ako sa loob ng aming kwarto habang sumunod si Amora.

I look at her. "Stay here. I'll quickly change."

"Yes, my lady." Yumuko ito sa akin.

Napangiti naman ako at naglakad papunta sa walk in closet ng biglang nagsalita si Amora.

"My lady."

"Hmm..." Tugon ko habang naghahanap ng maaring masuot ko.

"About what the Princess said. I'm sorry i couldn't defend you." Narinig kong malumanay na usal niya.

Natawa naman ako. "It's fine. I'm already used to it."

"Still i'm sorry." Muling aniya.

Napailing na lamang ako at nagpatuloy sa paghahanap ng damit.

Hindi ko naman napigilan na mapaisip.

I have always been weak kahit pa man sa mortal world. I never really stand up for my self. Maybe because i don't really find the reason to fight for my own. Or maybe because i'm just weak. Faye was the one who always save me.

Napagpasyahan ko na lamang suotin ang isang gold backless fitted dress. Kinuha ko din ang gold na heels and a few accessory.

Walang hirap na sinuot ko ang damit at ang heels pagkatapos ay ang tatlong gold ma bracelet, earing, and necklace. Ang aking buhok ay hinayaan ko na lamang na nakalugay.

Humarap ako sa salamin at napangiti ng makita ang aking itsura.

Habang nakatitig sa aking itsura hindi ko mapigilan na malalala ang sinabi ng Prinsesa.

"It doesn't matter if you're already the Empress. The higher ups still see you as a peasant from another world and that is your big problem. I'm sure it won't be long once they decided to dethrone you."

"Dethrone me huh?" I lick my lower lips. "I'd like to see them try."

Tiningnan ko ang suot kong wedding ring and grin when my husband face flash through my mind. It's been only a week but i think i already know what will happen.

"Ah... this is bad. Those higher ups just wants to get killed by my husband."
