Reincarnated As An Unknown Character

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Downfall

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Downfall

"I would never join the knight troop if the captain is our little sister!" Pagmamaktol ni Kuya Cliff saka siya ngumuso.

Agad naman ang pagsalubong ng dalawang kilay ko, "Why? You don't want me as your master, Kuya?"

"Sino ba ang may gustong maging master ka? Mag-ensayo ba naman sa underwaterr!" Mas lalo siyang ngumuso.

"Oo nga! And recently, I've just heard from the palace servants how she made all the knights fight against her and entually won." Pag-sang ayon sakanya ni Tommy.

"Our sister is a monster when it comes to fighting.." Ani Kuya Carl na kakapasok lang ng aking opisina.

"Yeah.. if a war is to break out, she might not need the knights. Because?" Si Keb na kakapasok lang rin.

"Of course! Walang kahira-hirap niya silang kakalabanin." Pagdugtong ni Kuya Cliff.

Wala akong magawa kundi ang umiling-iling nalang sa mga pinagsasabi nila at bumuntong hininga.

They might see me as a warrior and the great captainess but the man sitting before me, staring at me intently, sees me as a fragile, weak, and crybaby little princess.

Umiyak ba naman na parang bata sa harapan niya.

He now knows for sure the reason why I have those harsh training with my knights. It's to make myself busier and not think about the dead people I left at Megar and how I lost Liam.. again.

And after he heard me mention how I lost the will to live, he didn't left my side wherever I go. It's as if he's warning me not to let someone take my life again or not let myself, take my own life.

Nakakapagtaka.. why would he go this far? Kung alam niya kung gaano ako naghihinagpis dahil sa ibang lalaki, na kaibigan niya.

"Oh ano? Magtititigan na lang ba kayong dalawa? Lil Sis? Glee?"

"Hindi naman masama, pre! The love story between the duke and knight captainess princess!"

"But with a twist!"

"Anong twist?"

"Edi ex-fiancè ng knight captainess princess ang crown prince na kaibigan ng duke."

"That makes the story more beautiful! Oh my! Magiging book worm na ako rito!"

Binalingan ko sila ng tingin. "Speaking of the crown prince.. where is Liam?"

Napatigil naman sila pagchichismosa at tila napaisip sa naging tanong ko.

"Hindi pa siya nakikita simula nung inatake ka niya, hindi ba?" Tanong ni Kuya Carl na tinanguan ko lang.

After that attack, the crown prince and the pink-haired lady was never seen inside the palace. It's as if they turned into thin air, leaving our sight forever.

Or might be because.. they're planning day and night with the witch to take me down or take this novel world down.

"The question is.. why did he came for you and asked you for your help?" Oo nga pala, hindi nila nalaman ang tungkol sa tsaa.

"He just wanted to use my feelings as the tool to get near me and poison the foods I consume."

"Did you take the poison then?"

"I did."

Namayani ang katahimikan sa buong opisina. Wala ni-isa sakanila ang nagsalita na parang nagsi-sink in pa sa utak nila ang sinabi ko.

"W-wait what?"

"L-lil sis, w-what did you just say?"

"I'm okay. I'm perfectly fine." Ngumiti ako ng matamis sakanila.

"You're quite nonchalant, aren't you?" Napatingin ako kay Glee nang sa wakas ay nagsalita na ito. Tumawa ako ng mahina saka siya kinindatan.

"Coming from a nonchalant himself."

Nabigla lamang ako nang magkasabay na tumayo si Kuya Cliff at Kuya Carl. Pareho silang lumapit sa 'kin saka sila lumuhod sa harapan ko.

Lumuhod rin ako para mapantayan sila. "Is this some kind of pranks or jokes, Ahias?"

"D-did you lost the will to live?" Agad napawi ang ngiti ko.

"W-what?"

"We're asking if you lost the will to live, Diamond Celeste Edmund?" Napataas ang boses ni Kuya Carl. He seems very... upset.

"K-kuya.. of course not. Haha, why would I–"

"Then why did you consume the poison? It could kill you, right?" Naging masama ang timpla ng mukha niya na para bang anumang oras ay kaya niya akong sugurin.

"P-Probably."

Kay Kuya Cliff naman ako napabaling nang marinig ko ang mahina niyang paghikbi, "W-what about us, Celeste? You might've lost the will to live because of your loss but how about us? Naisip mo man lang ba na mas gugustuhin rin namin na mamatay kesa mabuhay na wala ka sa tabi namin?"

I-I have forgotten the real mission I bestowed upon myself when I first came here, to protect these two and dad, the Edmund Family.

Ibubuka ko sana ang bibig ko para sana magsalita at pakalmahin sila ngunit agad akong napatigil nang malakas na bumukas ang pintuan ng opisina ko.

Agaran akong tumayo at naguluhan, "Dad, what are you doing here?"

His face is pale. Namumugto rin ang kaniyang mga mata na parang kagagaling lang niya sa pag-iyak. He also seems out of breath.

Napunta naman ang mga tingin ko sa mga eunuch na nasa likuran niya nang bigla nilang tinulak si Dad. Patakbo akong lumapit rito.

"Who dare—"

"His Majesty, The New Emperor Liam Bastian Douglas, have stripped the Grand duke his grand position for taking the side of the late emperor, The new emperor's father. Therefore, his family, the Edmund Family, shall be thrown at Megar Province, leaving their possessions behind in the hand of the new empress, Anakin Brienne Fantasiya."

T-The New Emperor?

"As for the Knight Captainess Princess who is rumored to be the New Emperor's Fiancé, she shall follow her father's downfall and will, too, be stripped in her position as the captainess."

Napatingin ako kay Dad, "Daddy, what's this?"

"The crown prince killed his own father." Pasimpleng sagot niya saka siya napailing-iling.

"Dammit! They moved faster than we thought they would." Rinig kong reklamo ni Tommy sa likuran ko.

Hinarap ko naman sila at agad na napangisi. "For now, let's follow what the emperor wishes for us to do."

"Lil sis, you mean.. live in that province and will no longer live in luxury?" Ngumuso si Kuya Cliff pero halata naman sa mukha niya ang nais kong iparating dahil sa pagkislap ng mga mata niya.

This was the plan all along.

We won't make a move and let the enemy be trapped her and met their own doom eventually—No! The real plan was to find the perfect time to shine.

The perfect time to let the descendants of the goddess take what was originally theirs. The perfect time to introduce the goddess mark, the green eyes.
