Chapter Eleven: Cele
"Diamond Celeste Edmund from the Dukedom of Edmund at your service." I introduced myself as I bowed slightly infront of everyone.
"And what of the reason are you here, 'Princess' Edmund?" The instructor then asked, emphasizing the word Princess.
"I dreamt on giving the empire a hand in the future by becoming an imperial knight. Quite a weird dream for a lady but here I am, standing before everyone to prove that I can and I will become a knight."
In this answer of mine, para na akong bida-bida, this is quite clichè pero ano bang magagawa ko? I have to be desperate to be part of them, to become a knight for I will never ever follow the footsteps of the woman who gave birth to me.
"Kuya? What do you mean by that? My mother is the descendant of a goddess? If it is so then why was she killed by the duchess? A descendant is not fool enough to get herself killed by a mere human." Magkasalubong ang kilay ko nang itanong ko 'yun. Because.. yes! I am frustrated!
"Actually.. we know nothing about Aunty Cymbeline being a descendant of a goddess. It's just that one day many years ago, she revealed her power before us, informing us about her identity." Answered Kuya Carl.
"Ginusto niya ang nangyari. She was tired of this world and as someone who can't kill herself, she gave the duchess what we she wanted."
What a coward! How can a descendant of a goddess be so stupid? Nakakairita!
But thanks to that, it gave me a motivation to follow the path I decided to take, to become a knight.
Nasa akin ang mata nilang lahat. Some are amazed, disgusted, or looking down on me. Paano nga ba naman? A princess shall choose to have her own personal knight, hindi siya mismo ang magwo-work as a knight.
The instructor seems to despise of idea of me being here, too.
"Show us what you got, Princess. I originally wanted to refuse you but to honor your family, I have to at least test you if you're fit to be here." The instructor said in an annoying tone.
Napahawak naman ako sa handle ng espada ko at pinanood ang tagapagturo na nilibot ang paningin sa lahat ng mga estudyante, hanggang sa dumako 'yun sa lalaking iiwasan ko sanang makisalamuha sa buong pamumuhay ko sa mundong to.
"Master Glenoer, mind if you give us a hand here?" The instructor smirked at him.
Humigpit ang hawak ko sa esapada ko nang nakangisi itong tumayo at naglakad palapit sa 'kin.
He is the male lead, of course he's the strongest knight student among everyone here. Halatang halata sa tagapagturo na hindi ako gustong makasama rito.
Napalunok ako ng sunod-sunod nang makalapit na sa 'kin si Glee, sinalubong ang mga titig ko ng kaniyang kulay karagatang mga mata.
Blue Eyes, the eyes who has the ability to see one's soul color and saw through me, The Celeste Del Varre, The outsider.
Ngayon na maso-solo niya ako, will he take the time to kill me?
"Master Carl and Cliff of Edmund Dukedom, I see that you guys are not stopping from my decision." Dinig kong turan ng tagapagturo sa mga kuya ko.
Sabay namang tumawa ang dalawa at nag-apiran pa na tingin ko'y ikinagulat ng karamihan rito.
"Sus! Kayang-kaya 'yan ni Celeste! Siya pa kaya! Isang pitik lang niya sa noo ni Glee ay deads na siya." Ani Cliff at mas lumakas ang tawa.
"Goo! Sis! Show them what you got! Wooohh!" Pagsabah ni Kuya Carl kay Cliff.
Napangiti ako't napailing-iling. Mga isip bata nga naman. I'm just glad na they don't feel anxious around me anymore.
