Alora: The Nobody

Chapter 10

"Brother Achie? What are you reading?" Tanong ko sa kanya bago kinagat ang egg tarts na order namin.

"It's about the latest updates of the whole continent, Alora." Sagot niya saakin.

"Hmm. Is there a bad news, kuya?" Tanong ko sa kanya. Kanina pa kasi itong seryosong nagbabasa habang nakakunot ang noo.

"Well. There is." Seryoso niyang sagot saakin.

"Ano po, kuya?" Inosente kong tanong sa kanya. Seryoso ding nakikinig si kuya Albie saamin.

"Yan ba yung tungkol sa pagkawala ng mga bata at teenager sa Nero Empire kuya?" Seryosong tanong ni kuya Albie.

Pagkawala ng mga bata at teenager sa Nero Empire? That sounds familiar. May nangyari na bang ganito dati?

"Yes. And mas marami na ang mga bata at teenager na nasa edad 4 hanggang 15 ang nawawala. At ang bagong balita ngayon ay may nawawala na ding lagpas sampo sa Gaia Kingdom at apat naman dito sa Frieda.Pinapatupad na ng ating emperador ang paghigpit ng seguridad sa buong bansa."

"Mabuti naman kung ganon, kuya. I just hope that they will be able to locate the people behind this at sana mahanap din nila ang mga biktima." Malungkot na sabi ni kuya Albie.

"Sana nga, Albie." Seryosong sagot naman ni Kuya Achie.

"Kuya Achie? May nangyari na po bang ganito na case dati?" Tanong ko sa kanya.

"I think so, Alora. Baka noon. Pero, this is the first time in almost 2 decades na narinig ko na may ganitong kaso. Magtatatlong dekada na din kasi na payapa ang Ameurus lalung-lalo na ang empero natin." Napatango nalang ako.

Why do I feel that I know that this would happen. This scene is really familiar to me. Weird.

"Brother? Is it really true that the Crown prince Dominique is engage to Lady Marigold Maltridge, the lady of Maltridge Dukedom in Frieda Capital?" Tanong ni Kuya Albie.

Crown prince Dominique? Lady Marigold Maltridge, lady of a Dukedom, Frieda Empire? Engagement?!! No way! Impossible!

"Yes. I think so, Albie. I heard that they will official it next month to the public after lady Marigold turn 16."

Marigold Maltridge, the same name of one of the villain in the novel series that I read when I'm still alive sa Earth. Is it possible that I'm inside that novel?! Wait! Lady Marigold has a brother that hated her in the novel and his name is.......... Marco Maltridge. Yeah! That's his name! If this Lady Marigold here has a brother with that name then confirm!

"Ahm, brother?" I softly asked them. Sabay naman itong lumingon saakin.
Binigyan lang nila ako ng tingin na What do you want look.

"May kapatid po ba si Lady Marigold?" Tanong ko sa kanila.

"Well, I heard she has a brother, a year younger than her." Sagot ni kuya Albie.

"It's true, she has a brother." Tipid na sagot ni kuya Achie saakin. I suddenly felt nervous.

"What's his name po?" Tanong ko sa kanila.

"His name is Marco Maltridge. I heard he pass the enrollment test in Thereal Academy this year. Maybe, he will go there after his sister birthday." Sagot ni kuya Achie saakin.

Thereal Academy, the main academy located in the Heart Island of Ameurus. And the main setting of that novel series called Heart Island Book Series. Shit! Confirm! I'm really inside the novel.

I read the book 1 and book 2. And before I die, I heard that the Author is going to release the last book in the Heart Island Series which is the book 3.
