Chapter Ten
Marvenblade
Amari's P.O.V
"Thalina shall be recognized as the Duchess of Kalisteia."
Sabay-sabay kaming napalingon kay Klyde dahil sa kanyang anunsyo ng magiging plano namin.
Kalisteia? Sounds familiar. Hindi ba 'yun ang kaharian ni Seriya?
Base kasi sa aking pagkakantanda, nabanggit na sa akin ito ni Valleen nung dinala nya ako sa isa sa mga pasilyo ng Etheris. Where I saw a picture of Klyde's family, and a portrait of him and his first love.
"Can you become any worse, Klyde?" Sarkastikong sambit ni Haden, halatang na dismaya lalo sa tila walang-tigil na panunurpresa sa amin ng lalaking nakaupo sa pinakaunahan.
"Matagal nang nanahimik ang kaharian ng Kalisteia simula nung nawala ang katangi-tanging prinsesa nila," si Wren naman ang sumabat. "Sigurado ka bang tama 'tong gagawin na'tin?"
"Gagamitin na'tin ang kaharian nila, para maipasok si Amari sa ngalang Thalina," Ilang segundo rin syang napaisip bago nagpatuloy. "Just what will happen if they find out of how we took advantage of them?" Napakamot sya sa likod ng kanyang leeg.
"I agree," Tugon ni Haden sa kanyang katabi. "You know they still won't forgive us even if they were our allies once they knew about this mess we're about to bring them in."
"Kalisteia already fell years ago, and they wouldn't have survived their downfall if it wasn't for us who held them even at the edge." Hinalukipkip ni Klyde ang kanyang mga braso. "Everyone knew our alliance had saved them, due to they never had any other heir to lead and arise them from their loss."
Mas pinili kong manahimik muna at makinig sa kanila sa mga susunod na sandali. Gusto ko kasing malinawan at masiguro muna ang aking sarili bago magsalita o magsabi ng kahit ano man.
"And so this will be a great opportunity for us to renown Amari as the King of Kalisteia's niece, the only daughter of his cousin who rebelled from her royal title to become a warrior,"
"Katniss Marvenblade," I heard Khair state, and from what I heard I could tell it was a woman's name.
Magpapanggap akong anak ng iba? I sneakily bit my lower lip as my eyes automatically drifted downwards to see my hands that were hiding below the table, on top of my legs.
Mukhang itatago nga nila talaga ang tunay kong pagkakakilanlan sa mata't isipan ng mga estudyante sa Silvestra.. Bulong ko sa aking isipan, hindi alam kung dapat ba akong magulat o matuwa dahil kahit papaano ay 'di ako basta-basta mahuhuli at mahuhusgahan ng mga tao doon sapagkat wala silang kaalam-alam kung sino talaga si Amari.
I scratched my thumb, frustrated onto being uncertain about what to feel, and what I'm actually feeling right now.
"Nova Katniss Ellora Marvenblade, the commander of Kalisteian soldiers." Pagpapatuloy ni Khair at kinumpleto pa ang pangalan ng babae. "Originally, she was a duchess, but rebelled from the rules of her own family to fight for her kingdom."
