-Chapter 23-

Isang linggo narin ang lumipas after namin magbati ni Kuya Abel.

At dahil nakapagpahinga na siya ng buong linggo ay napagpasyahan na naming bumalik sa Empire.

Kasalukuyan na kaming nakasakay ng karwahe, pabalik ng empire.

Napagpasyahan naming hindi sumakay sa airship dahil baka malaman ng mga taga empire na galing kami sa Roux Kingdom.

Nagkakagulo na rin kasi ang mga nobles doon dahil nawawala ang Imperial Crown Prince, at walang sino mang may alam kung saan ito nagpunta.

While, the Imperial Crown Prince they're looking for is just here sitting comfortably beside me.

He's trying to conceal his annoyance by simply using a expressionless facade, but ever since na nagkabati kami, I can already read him like an open book.

Napangiti nalang ako at napailing.

Hindi niya pinaalam kahit na kanino man maliban sa mga nakakaalam na sekreto siyang umalis at sinundan ako patungo dito sa Roux.

But it seems like there's a rat among his people.

Wala mang sinasabi sa akin si Kuya Abel, I'm certain that there is really one.

If you're asking why i am so certain about my claim that there is a traitor among the crown prince red knights,

dahil ito sa mga nangyari this past few days.

Nung nakaraang araw lang habang gumagala kami ni Kuya Abel, Damien at Joseph para bumili ng mga pwedeng mabili ay nakaramdam ako ng mga matang nakamasid sa amin mula sa malayo.

I can even sense that person's presence inside of a shadow, pero mukha itong walang balak na saktan kami at patuloy lang sa pagsunod kaya hinayaan ko na lang.

Kaso nga lang mukhang hindi lang ako ang nakapansin, Brother Abel ordered some black wraith members to subdue the person na laging nakasunod sa amin.

Of course, he ordered them in secret. But, I can enhanced my senses, so using my enhanced hearing I was able to hear all of it.

Kagabi lang nila nadakip yung stalker namin.

They interrogated it pero nagsuicide ito agad before it can even exposed everything.

Pero mukhang may alam si Kuya Abel kung sino ang tao sa likod ng pag utos sa lalaki na i-monitor kami.

While me, I have no idea who is it.

Pero mukhang malalaman ko din pagbalik namin sa Empire.

Sabi niya may sasabihin siyang importante and that he would tell everything pagdating namin.

"Are you okay?"

rinig kong tanong ni Kuya Abel, habang nagaalalang nakatingin sa akin.

"I should be asking you that, brother."

"What?"

"Give me your hand."

seryoso kong utos, kunot noo namang binigay ni kuya ang kamay niya.

Agad ko itong hinawakan, I frowned deeply seeing some blood on his hands.

I just noticed it since yesterday, Abel has a habit of hurting himself with out his own knowledge whenever his frustrated or angry.

He will unconsiously tighten his fists until his nails sinked deeply on his skin, causing it to leave a wound and bleed a lot.

".....I didn't notice.."

mahinang paliwanag niya ng makita din ang kalagayan ng kamay niya.

Hindi na ako umimik at mariing ginamit ang healing spell ko para pagalingin ang mga sugat niya.

My frown deepened just thinking that Abel already seems used to getting hurt.

Bakit hindi na niya napapansin na nasasaktan na siya.

Just how much pain he always endured alone to get used to this.

"...I'm sorry, pinag alala kita sa mga ganitong simpleng bagay."

His voice are full of warmth, sincere yet he doesn't know how much pain it brought me.

Simple things?

This habit of him of hurting himself is just a trivial thing for him?

"...B-brother"

I want to know... everything

Who cause him to be like this..

Sino-sino ang nagpapahirap sa kanya...

He might act strong and unwavered in front of me or other people..

Pero tao lang din si Abel,

"Yes. Tell me Irene...."

I used to hate you.

Dahil akala ko, you really abandoned your sister.

But, you proved me wrong.

Dahil sayo, naranasan ko kung paano magkaroon ng kapatid.

Back in my previous life, My siblings and I are like heaven and earth.

They didn't even see me as a person but just a mere rat.

And one of my brothers is also the reason why I died, since he killed me.

Akala ko pareho pareho lang kayo, since it seems like you abandon princess Irene..

But, I'm so happy I could die..

I can feel that I'm getting greedy by the warmth that you brought upon me..

"..Please dont get hurt anymore..."

pigil hiningang sambit ko.

I feel like I might cry if I didn't stop myself half way of being emotional.

Napakagat nalang ako ng labi at itinuon ang atensiyon sa mga sugat niya na hinay hinay ng nawawala.

The kind and gentle Abel in the novel is too different from him now..

Nalilito na ako sa mga nakikita ko at sa mga nangyayari..

In the novel, maliban sa mga male lead rivals ay wala na siyang kaaway since the empress always on his side.

Empress... I didnt even hear that word left Kuya Abel's mouth even once.

But why?

The Empress and Kuya Abel are in good terms it was stated in the novel.

He treats him like her real mother and wouldn't even leave her side.

But, sa kasalukuyang Abel...

It seems like he hated everyone except me and Kevin.

Ugh. I dont know what going on anymore!

Mas lalomg dumami ang mga tanong sa isip ko at mas lalong lumalayo ang lahat sa mga nakasulat sa novel!

It feels like...

I'm in a world different to the novel itself.

"...Nakakunot na naman noo mo, baka magkawrinkles ka pa before sakin. haha"
