Rebirth of the Southern Duke's Wife

Chapter 48

"He knew, he's just like that. It is his normal."

Kitang-kita ko ang pagdaan ng gulat sa mukha ni Gulliver at kalaunan ay napalitan ng pagiging dismiyado at sa huli ay galit.

He must be still surprised seeing Flora in front despite the fact that he realized she is a traitor.

Nakagugulat nga naman talaga kapag harap-harapan ng nakikita.

Huli kong tinignan ay ang mukha ni Frederik pero nalito lang ako dahil wala akong masagap na emosyon sa kaniya, he was just staring at Flora with his empty gaze and affectless face.

He does not care?

I immediately shrug that idea off my mind at ibinalik na lamang ang atensyon kay Flora.

I am surprised.

Flora is truly a master of her expression because she fooled me completely.

I thought she was really nice and kind, iyon pala ay it was all an act in order to deceive me, everyone.

Behind her pretty angel mask is an ugly demon. A two faced woman who only cares about herself. She is definitely not deserving of her title.

Flora, make sure you have your reasons why you betrayed your own home.

Because this is unacceptable.

"Are you sure you don't want to kill your husband?" Behemuth's King asked Flora.

Ang Hari ay naghihintay sa magiging sagot ni Flora.

Flora surveyed Gulliver.  "Nope, I like him so do not touch my man."

"So you won't mind if I will kill your brother?"

"Do what you want." kibit balikat na sagot ni Flora.

I unconsciously clenched my fist.

Nagalit ako sa narinig mula kay Flora dahil wala man lang pagdadalawang isip ang naging sagot nito sa hari ng Behemuth.

Dahil doon ay mabilis kong nilapat ang paningin kay Frederik.

Wala pa rin siyang reaksyon, just like before he's empty.

Does he knew?

And Flora, she's this heartless? Kapatid niya si Frederik ah papaanong okay lang sa kaniya na patayin si Fred?

Maybe she'll take back her words, let's keep watching muna.

The King of Behemuth laughed his ass off.

Now I wonder what kind of relationship does Flora have with Behemuth?

Baka wala namang relasyon na namamagitan, she is just simply a traitor.

Pero base sa nakikita ko ay maaaring siya ang boss nila dahil mukhang tinatrato nito si Flora na mas mataas sa kaniya?

He is asking Flora's permission, he's being careful of his actions towards her, and the tone of his voice sounds scared. He obviously feared Flora

At isa pa, wala man lang bang sasabihin si Frederik?

He'll just keep his mouth shut until he dies, ganoon?

I silently sent a message from the assassins around Behemuth's Kingdom bago ko binalik ang atensyon sa nangyayari sa loob ng kwarto.

"You better make sure to win this battle. Dahil kung hindi pa sinabi ng shungang Sariyah na 'yon ang mga planong sinisekreto niya noon sa amin ay malamang, wala pang isang segundo at babagsak na itong kaharian mo."

I was caught off guard dahil sa  naging pananalitang iyon ni Flora.

Her in a barbaric tone is different from usual, baka iyan ang tunay na siya.

"Kill her brother."

I got alarmed when the King commanded the other ten person   kaya naman ay mabilisang pumagitna ang isa sa kanila. He raised his hand and I saw how he used his magic, a blade made of ice came out from that person's palm. Itinutok niya ito sa leeg ni Frederik at  bago pa nito tuluyang mapatay si Frederik ay wala sa sariling lumabas na ako galing sa pinagtataguan.

I swiftly activated my magic.

"Move."

Isang sabi ko lang at awtomatikong gumalaw ang katawan ng lalaking gumamit ng mahika niya na ice element at nalilito siya kung bakit lumalayo ang katawan nito kay Frederik kahit na hindi naman niya ito inuutos sa katawan.

I chuckled.

Your body is my body. I can control it and you can't.

Nang masiguradong nakalayo na nang tuluyan ang lalaki at binagsakan ko ng nakakamatay na tingin ang dalawang lalaki.

"Stupid! Ano sa tingin niyo ang ginagawa niyong dalawa?! Waiting for death?"

Hindi ko na mapigilang sigawan ang dalawang lalaki dahil hindi man lang sila nagreact noong gumalaw ang lalaki!

When everyone saw me the ten individuals were the first one to move.

They immediately went on guard and prepared their magics to attack me anytime, habang si Flora naman ay walang gulat na bakas sa mukha pero ramdam niya ang pagka 'di gusto sa presensiya ko.

Mukha namang nabuhayan si Gulliver noong makita ako, his dead eyes earlier glittered when he saw me.

On the other hand, I still don't get why Frederik is smiling so gently at me while earlier he's like a dead rock.

"Who are you?! Hindi mo ba alam na bawal ang tagapagsilbing pumasok?! How dare you defy my order—"

"Tumahimik ka. " my magic was so fast and it made the King shut his mouth forcely.

Matalim kong tinapunan ng tingin si Flora. "Why did you betrayed your own kingdom?" I asked her but she chuckled instead.

"Because this is my fate. I am destined to be the devil."

Pumitik ang ugat ko dahil sa inis.

"Cut the crap and say the real reason." matigas na ani ko sa kaniya.

I clearly saw how her eyes twitched because of anger, she started chuckling creepily.

Napailing pa siya bago huminga nang malalim. 

Her duality is insane, she can be both an angel and a devil.

"I can't personally touch you because of a deal so I'm going to make Behemuth kill you. I want Gulliver to be mine, and when I am wanting someone. I want it fucking alone."

Naging blangko ang ekspresyon ko dahil sa narinig at tuluyan na ring natawa dahil sa mga nangyayari.

I already know she's destined to kill me because of that goddamn novel but why still I thought she changed?

She's still that Empress who will kill Erin just because Gulliver cannot love her if there's an Erin existing.

"Hey Duchess. I have a question, what does it fucking felt being love by two man?" she asked me.

Nakangisi siya sa akin pero ramdam ko ang matinding sarkasmo sa boses niya.

"Don't you know that Gulliver personally made a contract after knowing that you are alive? In that contract, he will do what I want huwag lang kitang galawin. Isn't it surprising?!" she look fascinated while telling me all of that, "fuck, it hurted my heart but as usual I acted perfectly. I can't freaking believe that the great Gulliver is willing to be my slave basta huwag lang kitang galawin, wow! What a disney princess! How does it feel huh?!"

It felt like everything stopped from moving just now. That the time was paused when I heard her.

My gaze immediately settled on Gulliver to confirm it and my shoulders fell when he smiled at me.

"It's my choice, it's my decision. I want it. Don't blame yourself." he mouthed.

I cleared my throat when his voice was so gentle reassuring my heart.
