Heisenberg Series #1: The Sun's Nightmare

Chapter 8

NATALIA'S POV

"Wag kang magalit sa kanya. She only accompanied me, Caspian" Her Majesty said. 

"Eleena... we already talk about this, right? You'll only sing for the tree once every year. Baka mapano ka?! You already know we must keep an eye to your mana. What it will decrease repidly? Baka anong pang mangayari sayo" alalang sabi ng Emperor. I look at him. From the way it looks, he seems angry but remain his voice calm. Napatigil ako ng nilingon ako ng Emperor.

"Out" walang emosyong sabi niya. I bowed and walk out the chamber. His Majesty's knight opened the door kaya patuloy ako sa paglabas. Narinig ko ang pagsirado ng pintuan na ikinaginhawa ko. Muntikan na ako don. Kung nakakatakot ang Emperor sa malayuan, mas nakakatakot sa sa malapitan. Parang bibigay ang tuhod ko sa takot.

"What are you doing here?"  

Lumingon ako sa gilid at napasimangot ng makita kung sino ito.

"Greetings, Your Highness" malamyang bati ko at aakmang aalis ng tinawag niya ako ulit.

"You're suppose to guard the Empress's health. Where are you going?" he ask. Napabuntong hininga nalang ako at hinarap siya.

"His Majesty came and ordered me to get out" I said. Ngumisi naman siya na ikinataas ng kilay ko. Problema niya?

"Got kick out by my Dad?" ngising sabi niya. Napakunot ang noo ko. 

"I heard what happened, he scold you for letting Mom go to the Golden Tree" sabi niya. Napairap nalang ako at tinalikuran siya.

"Eh alam mo naman pala, eh bakit nagtatanong ka pa?" taray kong sabi. Nyamas, alam naman pala eh. Sinasayang pa oras ko.

"May sasabihin ka pa ba?" sabi ko na ikinataas ng kilay niya.

"You really don't remem---" agad ko siyang pinutol.

"Wala na? Sige alis na ako" sabi ko at naglakad papalayo.

"Hey! Poison maker! Don't you dare turn your back at me!" rinig kong sigaw ko niya. Hindi ako huminto at patuloy lang sa paglakad. Should I go to the library and borrow some books? Mas maganda pa yun kesa sa makausap ang prinsepe na yun, tsk!

CAYDEN'S POV

"HEY!" I called her but she didn't even make a glimpse.

"POISON MAKER!" I called her again but she just scratch her head and turn right in the other side of the hallway. What the f*ck is wrong with her?! She had the audacity to act like that in front of me! Did she really forgot what happened? or Did she do that to avoid the conversation about that night? I mess my hair in frustration.

"ARRRGHHH!" pikon kong sabi. That woman is slowly making me crazy! Napapanaginipan ko nanaman ang nagyari sa gabing yun. I don't even know why it keeps repeating. Did she put some sort of potion to that wine to keep having that dream? I smirk. Why am I still calling it a dream, when it's almost like a f*cking nightmare! 

NATALIA'S POV

"Sir Nicholas?" sambit ko habang binubuksan ang malaking pintuan. "Sir Nicholas?" I called again but no one answered. I closed the door and walk at the center. Tumingala ako sa ikalawang palapag pero wala akong nakita kahit ni anino man. Where did he go off to? Umakyat ako sa hagdan at tumingin sa baba. Ang lawak pala talaga ng library. Kung araw-araw akong magbabasa ng libro hanggang sa kamatayan di ko matatapos lahat ng to.
