Magisch Academy: The Heartless Princess

CHAPTER 42

THIRD PERSON'S POV

NAPANGITI ng malaki ang batang babae ng mawalan na ng malay si Lia.

"You're such a fool for royalties" sabi ni Arlene

"You're right they're such a bunch of fools for believing in your act. In fact what you did to them is just an old trick how dumb they're for falling into that kind of tricks. Giving foods to poison their victim? Dude! Who do you think you are? The evil stepmother of Snow White?"

Nagulat si Arlene ng biglang may nagsalita. Kaya napalingon siya sa likod niya at nakita niya si Raven na nakade kwatro at nakaupo sa may bintana na parang isang reyna.

"Y-you! H-how come?" nautal na tanong ni arlene saka tumingin kanina kung saan nakaupo si raven at nakita niyang nawalan ng malay. Nakita niya doon ang katawan ni raven na nakahiga sa sahig.

"Oh! That? It's just my clone. You see I'm the kind of person who doubts everything around me. I can easily recognize the kind of people who is just like me. A pretentious and deceiving, but unlike you I'm much better at it. Una pa lang may hinala na ako sa lugar na ito. Parang kakaiba ang simoy ng hangin dito. Noong nakita ko iyong matandang babae kanina na sinasabi mong isang witch na nakatingin ng masama sa iyo ay naghinala na ako. Then naalala ko na may nabasa ako sa isang libro tungkol dito sa lugar niyo. Meroong gumagalang isang matandang dark witch dito na kayang kumontrol ng isip ng tao sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng mga pagkain. Naisip ko din na baka hindi naman talaga sa iyo ang katawan na iyan. Iyong matanda kanina siya ang totoong may-ari ng katawan na iyan hindi ba? Pinagpalit niyo ang katawan niyong dalawa para hindi ka paghinalaan ng lahat. Isa iyon sa kapangyarihan ng mga dark witch na katulad mo. Kaya naman pinalabas ko ang isa kong clone habang nasa likod ako para siya ang sumama sa inyo habang ako naman ay pinuntahan ang matandang babae para makompirma ang hinala ko. And guess what? I'm right" sabi ni raven

"Then why did you let your friends drink the hot chocolate?" tanong ni arlene

"Well I believe that for you to be able to trick your enemy you should start by tricking your friends first," sabi ni raven

"You're such a cunning and witty woman. Why don't you just team up with me? We can control all the people! We can be the Queen of the world! Isn't that great? We can control the people to love and worship us! For Pete's sake we can be a god if we wanted!" sabi ni arlene habang nakangisi

"I don't need you just for me to control the people and be the Queen of the world because I can always be the Queen of the world anytime or anywhere I want. I don't need you or anyone's help. I don't need to be loved or worshipped by other people. They can hate me or loathe me if they wanted I don't f*cking care. They can think what they want but if they mess with me hell will surely break loose" sabi ni raven saka ngumisi

Natakot si arlene ng matitigan ang mga mata ni raven.

"Y-you! You're not afraid to die don't you?!" nauutal tanong ni arlene na kinangisi ni raven na mas lalong kinatakot ni arlene

"Why would I? I have nothing to be afraid of because I have nothing to lose" sabi ni raven na nagpatawa kay arlene

"I thought you're a strong woman but I'm wrong because you're just a pitiful woman who have nothing but herself" sabi ni arlene

"Ohhh? Then you are not afraid of me anymore?" sabi ni raven

"Yes" matapang na sabi ni arlene

"What if I said that I can lead you the way to hell? I know all the routes on how can we get there easily" sabi ni raven saka unti-unting lumapit kay arlene dahilan para mapaatras ang huli at mangatog ang mga tuhod sa takot
