I WAS REINCARNATED INTO THE BODY OF RAPSCALLION PRINCESS

K A B A N A T A 15

Hindi ko alam kung paanong nangyaring heto ako ngayon hila-hila na ni Prince Devour palabas ng palasyo ng De Seria.

"Hinay-hinay naman, ano ba?"

"Did I permit you to speak?"

He looks directly at my eyes. At naramdaman ko na lang na hindi na ako makagalaw. What the? Did he just use his powers on me?

Tch. How could I forget one of his powers? Mind control, huh?

You know how it works. He can control the body of someone who disobeys or disappoints him. Ang kaninang kulay abo niyang mga mata ay naging kulay na pinaghalong red at black.

Once you look at it. You will be in control in no time. He'll exploit you as he pleases and your entire body will be rigid, although your consciousness is still intact or not altered.

'pero ang ganda, kung sa abo niyang mata ay intimidating na, mas sobra naman sa mga mata niya ngayon'

Kaya nga siya ang naging pinakamalakas na emperador sa buong kasaysayan sa novel. Pagdating sa mga kalaban niya hindi siya titigil, hindi niya id-deactivate ang mind control unless he achieves his aim. Death! He'll torture you over a lengthy portion of time.

But in every powerful power despite how strong it is, it always has a weakness behind it. Nevertheless, all of his corrivals took their time to realize that.

I perk up from my thoughts. Argh!! nahihirapan na talaga 'ko gumalaw. I bite my tense lips before opening them again to call him out.

"Okay. Sorry if I disobey you, Your Majesty."

ah shit! I'm digging in my own grave

"I mean, I didn't mean to sound so sarcastic, sorry if I ever disappoint you or something in any way. Pwede bang huwag mong gamitin sa akin ang powers mo? I'm just a weak girl—."

When I look up at him. Alam niyo na matangkad ang fafa niyo. Bumalik na sa dating kulay ang mga mata niya. Akmang may itatanong ako kaso naramdaman kong kumirot ang kanang braso ko.

Nakita kong namumula yun at bakas ang naiwang marka ng kamay ni Prince Devour.

I groan. Hanggang dito ba naman sensitive pa rin ang balat ko. Noon kasi, madale lang ng konti, namumula na.

Hinimas-himas ko na lang yun at naglakad na ulit. Natigilan ako. Sa karwahe niya ako sasakay?

Lumingon ako sa gawi niya. I-aawang at ibubuka ko pa lang ang labi ko ay inilahad na niya sa aking harapan ang isang pirasong papel.

Nung kinuha ko at nasa mga kamay ko na. Bigla na lang nag-iba ang kulay nito. Kung kanina ay puti, ngayon ay naging pula na at tila ba kulay dugo.

'A death threat, huh'

"You should keep your eyes on one of your girls, Freed. Who knows, if one day you saw her lying lifelessly in her blood."

-Mystery Guy From Nowhere

Sumama kaagad ang timpla ko nung mabasa ko 'yung,"one of your girls". Mas yun pa ang nag sink-in sa utak ko nang paulit-ulit.

Kung may makakakita lang sa inner-self ko siguro ay may mga nakapaligid na question mark sa paligid ko.

"One of your girls daw. Excuse siya, hindi ako kasama do'n 'no."

"Don't you even see that your name was engraved at the top of it!?"

Syempre, napansin ko yun. Hindi ko lang talaga matanggap na tinawag akong one of his girls, no. Gusto ko "only me" lang ehe. Kidding Aside.

"Eto lang pala sasabihin at ipapakita mo, hinila-hila mo pa 'ko."

"Eto lang?"

ay! i-emphasized ba naman ang dalawang salita na yun

"Kaya ko naman sarili ko e, you shouldn't have let yourself be the "knight in shining without armor" to just a shabby mere girl like me." ani ko with matching quotation marks pa ro'n sa knight chuchuchu!

'Haha, emo gurl na ako mga pips. Ew!'

Nararamdaman kong may paparating na delubyo sa banda naming dalawa.

"Crown Prince Devour, we should go now."

napa thank god naman ako

'ehe, save by the knights'

Nabibingi ako sa sobrang katahimikan. I recap what happened before I was dragged here with him.

Back then, I kick someone's ball. Why? simple, he harassed a girl.

Napansin ko kasing sa madilim na parte parang may binabastos do'n.

Nang makalapit ako ay nakita ko ngang pilit inilalapit nung lalaki sa leeg ng babae ang labi niya. Buong pwersa kong hinila palapit sa akin ang babaeng ngayon ay umiiyak na sa likuran ko. Napansin ko ding may punit ang damit na suot niya sa bandang dibdib.

This guy needs a kick in his ball. I despise a guy like him.

Wala akong choice kundi kunin 'yung nakita kong malinis na napkin na kakulay ng damit niya na nasa gilid. I cover it to the scattered part of her dress. Nagmukha tuloy itong design sa suot niya.

"You dolt. Do you want to―." I was about to say something when the girl interrupted me.

"Ah! u-umalis na lang tayo rito please." ani niya habang nakahawak sa kamay ko.

Ramdam ko ang panginginig niya. I take a quick look at the man again, who's now acting like he didn't do anything wrong. If we let it slide, he will surely repeat this. I'm certain.

I can even tell what's running on his mind. His face says it all. Oh, Kami! He deserves to be my human punching bag. The way he lowers his gaze and grins at her, screams the unspoken word, "Pathetic"

Gusto ko mang masapak ang isang damuhong 'to ay hindi ko magawa lalo pa't nakatingin sa mga mata ko ang babae, nangungusap. I sighed heavily.

Unti-unti na kaming naglakad palayo. I will deal with him later. Just wait. But he did me a favor by making it earlier than it was supposed to as he disrespected her in my presence.

"She was just a maid. It was her obligation to give herself into―."

Before he could even finish his words. A 100% kick was thrown in his disgusting face.

Guess who did it?

I mean, who else? Of course, it was me.

Hindi nagustuhan ng pandinig ko ang sinabi niya. My reflexes made their way to him.

"You disgust me."

Alam kong sa ginawa ko na yun, maiinterrupt ang event. May mga irit din akong narinig dahil tumilapon lang naman siya sa mesa kung saan mga grupo ng babae ang nakaupo du'n.

And there. I saw him standing 8 steps near us. His ashed eyes were now staring at me, angrily. He was about to speak when I cut him by raising my hand in front of him.

"Mamaya ka na magalit. He was harassing this girl behind me. He just got a chance to taste his shit."

"Your words."

"Words pa rin."

Before I knew it. Nasa tabihan ko na siya. He let his knights handle that guy. I apologized to the De Seria Family for ruining and interrupting the party, they'd understand naman daw.

At yung tinulungan ko? Pamilya nina Kaito na ang umasikaso. It happened na personal maid pala siya ng fiancèe ni Prince Kaito.

After that. Heto ako kasama si Koronang Prinsipe.

I wonder where Seya is. He should have let her be here but it was good na hindi nga, baka mapurga pa ang mga mata ko kung sakaling magharutan sila mismo sa harapan ko.

Hindi sila magkasama sa karwahe kanina papunta sa De Seria Residence. Sadyang nag-antayan ang dalawa.

Nung nakadating na kami sa palasyo ay agad akong nagpaalam sa kan'ya at lumapit kina Corlyn at Kia na nag-aantay sa akin at nagtungo na sa chamber ko.
