Chapter 111: Removing Crimson

Chapter 111: Removing Crimson

"What is happening? Tell me!"

Umalingawngaw ang aking tinig sa mansion ng mga Lumier. Good thing the Lumier's were not around, only the guy who brought me at such place; Gleeson Aiden. He looks so guilty and sad, dark and gloomy aura is covering his entirety. He looks unsure of what to do, and he looks frustrated. Mas lalo pa siyang nafufrustrate sa mga pagsigaw ko sa kaniya.

I am getting confused, and it's making me weak. Kanina lamang ay nakatayo ako habang binubulyawan si Gleeson, ngunit paunti-unti ay nanghihina ako at ngayon nga'y nakaupo na ako sa sofa habang nakatayo si Gleeson sa harap ko. He's sweating hard, I never thought a vampire could sweat this hard. Meaning he's under a very hard situation, just like Intrepid Dauntless. Both of them are under a situation they couldn't just sneak out so easy.

My breathing is uneven, I am really tensed and it's crapping the hell out of me making me weaker than usual. Naramdaman ko ang pag-aalala ni Gleeson dahil kanina niya pa ako pinapakalma.

"Luna, please calm down..."

I tried my best to stand up. Dinuro-duro ko pa ang kaniyang dibdib, "How can I? Pupugutan ba talaga ng ulo si Intrepid? Sagutin mo ko!"

"Y—yes,"

Ganoon na lamang ako nagitla, nahinto ako sa pagduro ng kaniyang dibdib. Naghuramentado ang puso ko, pakiramdam ko'y hihimatayin ako anumang oras dahil sa tensyon. Alam kong hindi marunong magbiro ang mga bampira lalo na ang council, ngunit hindi ko kayang maniwala. Pupugutan daw ng ulo si Intrepid! Kahit na parang hinihila ako ng mundo palayo sa maharlikang iyon, pilit namang bumabalik ang puso ko sa kaniya sa pinaka imposibleng paraan.

Ayokong maniwala, ang lalaking pakiramdam ko'y sobra kong mahal ay pupugutan ng ulo. Ngunit bakit?

"Why?"

Gleeson is now on his knees. Nakaluhod na siya sa aking harapan. His face touching my feet, his hands caressing it like a servant. My heart clenched, this is hurting me even more. I feel like getting mad right at the moment, but seeing him break down like this breaks my heart into pieces. Now I don't know what to do, this world is so frustrating and these people will be the death of me.

Intrepid Dauntless for giving me confusions about my feelings. Now he's about to get beheaded. And Gleeson Aiden on his knees begging for forgiveness. I could also add Kentson Ferdinand for visiting my mind and making everything more complicated. Are these royals playing on me? Am I the unconscious victim here? Baka naman planado na 'tong lahat upang baliwin ako, pagkatapos ay bibigay ako at magpipyesta sila?

Now I'm overthinking...and this is too much.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." He said on his knees, I can feel his anxiousness.

I trembled, "Why? Ikaw ba ang nagpapapugot ng ulo niya?"

"No!" He exclaimed and looked at me with broken stares, "It's just that...I am the reason of your confusions and queries. It's time to remove the crimson spell. I'm sorry for putting it to you, I thought it was the best move to keep you safe. To keep you away from Intrepid."

"What?"

He did not answer my question. Sa halip ay tumayo siya at hinawakan ang aking noo. Mapait siyang ngumiti atsaka pumikit. Ganoon na lamang ako kabilis na napaluha nang makita ang luha sa kaniyang mga mata. Nakakahawa ang kaniyang lungkot, sobrang nakakahawa na gusto ko na lamang siyang yakapin. Ngunit nanatili ako sa pagkakatayo at hinayaan siya sa kaniyang gagawin.

He looks really sad, "May the Lumier's forgive me. But I can't stand watching your suffer more." He whispered very low that I did not understand even the most lucid word.
