Chapter 16: The Worst Situation
Ina Inn, Mikawa
"Ah, your majesty I'm not Empre---"
"Empress Blair, you can't deceive us. Alam namin na ikaw yan behind those blue contact lens," Mahinahong sabi ni adrian at binigyan ako ng isang napakatamis na ngiti.
Nawala ang ngiti sa labi ko, I scowled at them and crossed my arms, my elegant manner are no longer can be seen. I don't care kung mukha akong siga dito, but I am a Empress, same position just like them kaya hindi ko na kailangan pa magpakita ng respeto sakanila.
What's the point of hiding anymore? Alam na nila kaya wala ng kwenta magpanggap pa. So in the end, this disguise was useless. I don't know about Andrew pero panigurado ako na nakilala rin sya ni Emperor Blaze. I know I'm acting out of character dahil kilala si Lucy bilang isang tahimik at magalang, but this is me now, I don't want to pretend as someone who I'm not.
How did I underestimated the calculating and sharp eyes of Emperor Adrian? I know the moment na nakita nya ako, nakilala o narecognized nya ako agad. This bastard is the brain among the three of them.
Hiding behind that fake gentleman is a cunning and sharp man kaya hindi na nakakagulat na nakilala nya ako agad. Even a simple disguise can't escape him.
"How? How did you find out?" Kalmadong tanong ko sakanila at ibinaba ang tasang hawak ko. There's no way iinumin ko yan. The last time I check, may poison ang cake na ibinigay ni Adrian, who knows what he put in that tea. I'm not that smart, but I'm not stupid.
"Let's just say, you are a particular woman, Empress Blair. I saw something in your eyes, like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Ikaw lang ang babaeng nakita ko na ganto, something about you keeps my attention kaya alam ko na ikaw yan behind those disguise," simpleng sagot ni Adrian sa katanongan ko, tumango naman si Blaze sakanya. Kumunot ang noo ko dahil hindi ko makuha ang ibig nyang sabihin o gusto nyang ipahiwatig.
"I am flattered with your words Emperor Adrian, but flattery will get you no where," madiin na sabi ko habang palihim na binibigyan sya ng isang masamang tingin. Nagkibit balikat lang si Adrian sakin with his gentleman smile at hindi na nagsalita pa, much to my frustration.
"Empress Blair, what's your reason to visit my kingdom uninvited?" Ulit ni Emperor Blaze sa tanong nya. Inalis ko ang paningin ko kay Adrian at ibinaling ang atensyon ko sakanya.
"Emperor Blaze, I have no intention to visit your kingdom, uhh may hindi lang inaasahang nangyari kaya napadpad ako sa Mikawa Kingdom," I explained and hinting them not to ask me about it.
Napansin ko tinatakpan ni Adrian ang ngisi nya sa pamamagitan ng paginom ng green tea while Blaze glance at me for a minute at walang sabing nagpatuloy sa pagkain ng sushi. Sushi and green tea? What a weird taste. Tumahimik uli ang paligid, the atmosphere is so tense because of the horrifying power these two have. Wala ako kaide-ideya kung anong tumatakbo sa isipan nilang dalawa and that alone terrifies me to the core.
Parang may dalawang boss na nag lalaban to see who is the most powerful between them. Compare to them, para lang ako isang langgam.
