Chapter Twenty-Six: A Call For Help

"We had a nephew we never saw, huh? That's kinda sad." Ngumuya si Cliff ng cookies saka siya sumandal sa sofa.

Unfortunately, They all woke up yesterday from their sleep, finding a note on their bedside table, containing informations about the mission I had.

It's an anonymous letter. No one knows who wrote it and brought it here. Isa lang naman ang nakakasiguro ako, isa lang sa 'min ang may gawa nun or someone who 'was' with us.

I hate to wonder and suspect things but I think it's Dabas. The question is.. why? Kung siya man ang nagpaalam sakanila sa mga karanasan ko sa misyon ko ay bakit? May plano na naman ba ang mangkukulam na 'yun?

Or.. Dabas never had the change of heart?

"What does he looks like?" Usisang tanong ni Tommy kaya lahat sila napatingin sa 'kin at matiim akong tinitigan, hinihintay ang sagot ko.

Napabuntong hininga naman ako. "He looks just like his daddy and.. yeah, he had the imperial mark."

Napasinghap naman sila naging sagot ko at nagkatinginan.

"T-The Imperial Mark. Crazy. That's just crazy. The one who killed your child will be executed for treason for sure."

Napatango-tango sila sa nai-usal ni Keb.

"If the emperor will come to know this, he might marry you to the crown prince, immediately." Sa pangalawang pagkakataon ay napatingin muli sila sa 'kin, hinihintay ang magiging reaksiyon ko.

Napahawak naman ako sa aking noo saka ito hinilot. "The prince loves that pink-haired lady."

"Ah!" Napa-snap naman sa ere si Kuya Cliff na parang may natandaan ito. "About that lady, I think she's kinda suspicious. When she came, The crown prince avoided her, saying that he already love someone else but that lady keeps following him around and then.."

"One day, The prince suddenly changed. It's as if we were never his friends. His eyes and attention were all drawn to that lady." Pagpapatuloy ni Tommy sa sinabi ni Kuya Cliff.

"Duh! Isn't it obvious? That girl drugged his highness!" Napa-irap sa ere si Samantha at humalukipkip.

Agad akong napabaling ng tingin kay Glee at nakitang nakatitig ito sa 'kin. Oh, was he staring at me the whole time?

"Glee, was that lady's soul color different, too? Just like mine?" Tanong ko sakanya.

Nagkibit balikat siya na siyang ikina-kunot ng noo ko, "I don't know. I never laid my eyes on her."

The male lead never laid his eyes on the female lead?

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako. What if they're right? Paano kung totoo ngang nadrugged ang prinsepe o baka he's under a spell?

What if that female lead was an outsider, too. Just like me and the witch?

Tumayo si Tommy at Keb saka sila nag-bump. "If our theory is right then the prince might need our help."

"So, what's the plan?" Tanong ko kaya taka silang napatingin sa 'kin.

"You're in, Captain?"

"Yes, I'm in." Binalingan ko ng tingin si Glee. "Can you do me a favor by laying your eyes on that lady?"

"Wait, what was that girl's name?"

Oo nga 'no? Ano nga ang pangalan niya? I honestly don't remember. Gaya nung una na hindi ko rin maalala ang pangalan ni Dabas. I don't know why and I don't want to know why.
