A WEAK SMILE curved into my lips when I saw princess Tomoki finally returned to her body, while I am standing beside her, shedding tears.
“Naze,” (Why?), bulaslas ng prinsesa na nakatingin sa seryosong mukha ng dowager, “Anata ga dono yō ni kurushin da no ka wakari mashi ta ka dō sure ba ī desu ka,” (Do you even know how distress she was? How could you!?), “H—hindi ko inakalang magagawa mo ‘to sa sarili mong anak!? You murdered your own daughter! You’re an evil!” Hindi mapigilang sumigaw ng prinsesa sa harapan ng dowager na kanyang lola.
“Bakit ina…?” wala sa sariling sabi ng kamahalan. Halatang ‘di niya matanggap na ang kanyang ina ang naglason sa kanyang kabiyak, “Is it because our bond as mate is an insist?” may kumawalang butil ng luha sa mga mata ng hari, “Hindi naman namin ‘yun kasalanan ‘diba!? Kung simula’t umpisa ay kami ng itinakda bilang magkapatid na kasalukuyang magkapareha ay hindi namin ‘yun kasalanan!” sigaw ng hari na lumulutang na ang ugat sa kanyang leeg sa sobrang galit, “Sa dinami-dami ng bampira sa mundong ito. Bakit kami pa ang nakaranas nang sumpang bono na ‘yan!? Kaming mahaharlika pa!?” nagwawala na ang mahal na hari.
Si Autumn na nakatingin sa kanyang ama ay nakatakip na sa bibig, pinipigilang humikbi. Samantalang ang prinsipe ay nakatungo lamang, pero mayroong mga luha ang lumandas sa mga pisngi nito. Ang reyna naman ay napaiwas lamang ng tingin.
The dowager’s face were remain blank as a sheet of paper.
“Tell me, mother. Why!?” there’s a trail of agony in King’s eye. I know how hard that for a King like him, “Naisip mo rin ba kung gaano kasakit ang aming pagdurusa bilang magkapareha!? After she gave birth to our child, naging mapanatag ang loob ko dahil inakala kong ‘di niyo na siya gagalawin pa. ‘Yun lang naman ang hiling niya sayo hindi ba? But what kind of spirit possessed in your mind to do that!? All of these years passed, buong akala ko ay ‘di kayo kasangkot sa pagkamatay niya dahil tumahimik na kayo, but I was wrong. You’re the mastermind after all.”
“Tell us, dowager Len,” basang-basa na ang mukha ni Tomoki sa luha habang nakikiusap. She tried her voice not get broke yet she still fail, “W—why did you d—do t—that?”
Ang blangkong mukha ng dowager kanina ay unti-unting naglaho. A smile that is full of regrets curved into her lips as her tears oozes on her pale cheeks before she spoke, “Because she’s too perfect to become a Queen that can build everyone’s insecurities towards her beauty. That even her mother—me, felt that thing towards her. I was afraid that it will be our Kingdom’s downfall because of her. She’s a girl that blessed with a perfect gift—a threat magnet to our Kingdom. I once saw the incoming fate of this Kingdom through the help of the Goddess of the Prophecy, siya ang dahilan sa pagkabagsak nito. Kaya kailangan ko siyang ipapatay kahit labag sa kalooban ko!” sabay-sabay na dumaosdos ang luha sa mga mata ng dowager.
