Chapter 17

ROSELIA'S POV

"Roselia..."

"Shut the f*ck up Troy!" I shouted.

This can't be! Napainom ko naman siya nung nakaraan. But why does he still experiencing headaches? He even sent me home! For the past years okay naman ang potion na binigay sakin ng matandang yun?!

"Itigil mo na to Roselia. The potion is not effective anymore" rinig kong sabi niya. I glare at him.

"I want him Troy! I want to be the Empress! I WANT HIM!" sigaw ko. Nabigla ako ng hiniwakan niya ang magkabilang balikat ko.

"Masasaktan ka lang Roselia. Look, you have me. I love you. I have been by your side for almost all your f*cking life! Di paba sapat yun? Why do you chose him over me? May mahal siyang iba Roselia! May sinira kang relasyon!" Sigaw niya. Tinabig ko nang malakas ang kamay niya.

"So what kung may nasira akong relasyon Troy? Have you forgotten? I've love him for a long time! Mahal ko siya Troy. Ano bang meron sa babaeng yun na wala sakin?! Sige Troy! Sabihin mo, anong meron sa babaeng yun na wala sakin?!" i said. Pero tinignan niya kang ako at di nagsalita.

I gritted my teeth at nilagpasan siya. I was about to open the door when he suddenly talk.

"Love"

Nilingon ko siya at nakaharap na siya sakin.

"That potion won't last long Roselia. You can't fool that Emperor forever" he said. Agad akong tumalikod at lumabas ng kwarto.

Tsk!

I need to see that old man. I need him to find me a potion that is more effective to the previous one! This is already my chance. I can't let this go in vain.

ELEENA'S POV

"Quick! Take him to the carriage!" Sabi ni Leo.

I followed them as they carry Caspian to the Carriage.

"What is happening to him Leo?" Sabi ko. Nakita kong napabuntong hininga siya.

"It's been months since he experience that headaches Eleena. We tried on taking him some medicines but it won't work" sabi niya.

We entered the carriage. Sinuri naman ni Leo si Caspian.

"Madalas na siyang nawawalan ng malay.  I thought that he is okay but I was wrong. I should have let him rest today" sabi niya.

"Lord Castedras. Mage Wei wanted to see you" sabinng isang kawal sa labas.

"Tell him I can't. May importante pa akong gagawin" sabi ni Leo.

"I'll watch him until you came back. Para madali naring matapos" sabi ko at tumango naman siya.

"Thank you" sabi niya at umalis. Tinignan ko siya at nakasandal lang ito sa upuan. He seem look uncomfortable in his position. Tumayo ako at umupo sa tabi niya. Hinawakan ko ang ulo niya at isinandal ito sa balikat ko.

"No, come back..."

Napatingin naman ako kay Caspian. parang naghihirap siya at bumibilis ang paghinga niya. I put my hands on his forehead and casted a spell. I'm not sure it it will accept his body. The last time I did this is when his body is not accepting it.

I waoted for the effects pero walang nangyari. His body accepted it. Napansin ko ring kumalma na siya.

Hayst! Why am I doing this right now? I should have let Leo leave. Now, I have to sit here and wait until he f*cking wakes up.

*FAST FORWARD*

Hapon na at dipa siya nagigising. Di parin nakabalik si Leo.

Napalingon ako sakanya ng bigla siyang gumalaw. Bumangon naman siya at napahawak sa ulo niya.

Mukhang nagulat pa siya nang makita niya ako sa tabi niya.

"Feeling better now?" Tanong ko. Tumango naman siya.

"Good. Then, I shall take my leave Your Majesty" I said and bowed. I immediately got out of the carriage. Di ko na hinintay nag magsalita siya.

CASPIAN'S POV

I look at her walking towards Leo and Alejandro. I had a dream...

I dreamed that we were in the battlefield. I saw a woman who build a barrier to stop a big black fireball coming towards all of us. Her face was blurry kaya diko malaman kung sino.

When we take her to the empire. I saw myself crying to that woman. She died...

She said something to me but I can't hear it clearly.

Who is that woman?

I should ask Leo about that.

ELEENA'S POV

Nakabalik na kami sa Imperial Palace. We have to wait two days for the result. Nagtaka ako ng pag uwi namin ang tahimik na ng palasyo. Wala na pala si Roselia dito. Palaging nagrereklamo ang babaeng yun at datdat ng datdat. Inatras din daw ni Caspian ang pagiging Future Empress niya.

Di ko alam ang rason kung bakit niya ginawa yun. Wala naman akong pakialam kung anong mga plano niya.

Bumalik agad ako sa kwarto ko at naligo at nag bihis.

Pagkatapos kung magbihis ay inayos ko ang buhok ko. I braided it. I hope he leaves me alone now.

CASPIAN'S POV

I'm here in my room laying on the bed while Leo is sitting on the sofa. He work for my sake. Magpahinga daw muna ako ngayon.

"Leo" tawag ko sakanya na ikinalingon niya sakin.

"Hmm?" Sabi niya at tinaasan ako ng kilay.

I have to ask him if those dreams were true.

"Nanaginip ako" sabi ko. Napatigil naman ako ng bigla siyang tumawa.

"Anong panaginip yan? Lakas ng topic mo kapag pagod ah" sabi niya at tumawa. Tinignan ko naman siya ng masama na ikinatigil niya.

"Okay, okay fine. Anong panaginip ba yan?" Sabi nuya at nagpatuloy sa pagbasa.

"About the war" sabi ko. Binaba naman niya ang papel at sumandal sa sofa.

"Oh? Anong meron sa gyera?" Sabi niya.

"May alam ka bang babaeng namatay sa gyera?" Tanong ko. Mukhang nagulat naman siya sa tanong ko.

"Bat mo naman natanong?" Seryosong sabi niya. From the way he reacts he must know something.

"I've dreamed of a woman who died from the battle. She build a barrier to stop the black fireball" I said.

"I know someone" sabi niya na ikinatigil ko.

"But, she's alive" dugtong niya na ikinakunot ng noo ko.

"Namatay siya pero nabuhay siya ulit. You were crying while she's lying in bed. Dying..." sabi niya. Sa narinig ko galing sa bibig ni Leo buglan tumigil ang mundo ko. Tama ang panaginip na yun.

"Who is that woman Leo?" Taning ko. Napangisi naman siya sa reaksyon ko.

"The one and only Lady Dolan or should I say Eleena, Felix" sabi niya.

W-what?!

"You'll notice her hand had a scar if you want some evidence. She got it from the battle" dugtong niya. My mind suddenly went blank. I look at him and saw smiled.

"Congrats Felix, Your Memories are coming back" galak niyang sabi.

ELEENA'S POV

2 days have passed since we went to Zodvic. Ngayon din dadating and resulta sa Zodvic.

Someone knock at the door and I saw Martha entered.

"Lady Dolan, The breakfast is ready" sabi niya. Tumango naman ako.

"Thank you Martha" I said and get out of my room. I'm heading to the dining hall. Yes, sasama na ako na mag aalmusal sa kanila. Yesterday, May binigay ako kay gremor na isang papel. Nakakahiya na kay Zane. Tiisin ko nalang na makita siya. We're living i the same roof. Kailangan kong sanayin sarili ko.

Binuksan ko ang pintuan at mukhang nagulat pa sila ng makita ako.

"Lady Dolan, You've finally joined us" galak na sabi ni Leo. Tinignan ko si Caspian at bumati.

"Greetings, Your Majesty" I said and bowed. Agad din akong umupo sa kaliwang upuan.

"Then, shall we start eating?" Sabi ni Alejandro. Nagsimula na kaming kumain at tahimik lang kami.

I just continued eating. Pero may nararamdaman akong may nakatitig sakin.

Tsk! Stop staring at me you piece of sh*t!

I grab the glass of water when Caspian suddenly talk.

"Your hand..." Sabi niya. Napatingin naman ako sa kanan kung kamay. Napangiti naman ako ng mapait.

"Why? Is there a problem with my scar?" Sabi ko pero Nakatingin lang siya sa kamay ko.

Tsk!

"I'll just use a glove if you're uncomfortable seeing it" seryoso kong sabi. Napansin ko namang nag tinginan sina Leo at Alejandro na ikinataka ko.

"Where did you get it?" Sabi niya. I gritted my teeth. Bakit kailangan pa niyang magtanong?! He won't even remeber if I tell him.

I take a deep breath first and I answered him.

"I got it from a war. It's a battlescar. Satisfied?" Pikon kong sabi. Nakita ko namang umiwas siya ng tingin.

Tsk!

Napatigil naman kami ng may pumasok.

"Your Majesty, the report has arrived" sabi ng kawal at binigay sakanya. Nagpatuloy lang ako sa pagkain at di sila pinansin.

"How's the result?" Rinig kong sabi ni Leo.

"Gumana. Wala narin ang baha"rinig kong sabi ni Caspian.

"Eleena! You heard him right?! It was thanks to you! You saved the Zodvic! You save the  people again" masayang sabi ni Leo.

"Good" Ikli kong sabi at nagpatuloy sa pagkain. But deep inside I was glad na gumana ang plano. I hope the people in Zodvic was happy.

"Then, it is worth for a celebration right?" Sabi ni Alejandro. Kailangan ba yan?

"Then, Leo make an invitation letter and send it. The Celebration will be tommorow" sabi niya. Tumayo naman ako na ikinatigil nila.

"I'm done. Then, I shall take my leave" sabi ko at lumabas sa silid.

The celebration will be tommorow. Bulas rin ang birthday ko. Magiging okay na ang birthday ko na makita ang mga malalapit ko sa buhay.

I headed to the Golden Tree and check if it's okay. Pagakatapos kung suriin ito ay umakyat ako at dun tumambay sa itaas.

Maghapon nanaman akong tatambay dito ulit.

*FAST FORWARD*

ZANE'S POV

"Your Highness"

Napatingin naman ako ni Lux na kakapasok lang.

"What is it, Lux" sabi ko habang patuloy sa pagsusulat. May inilahad naman siya sa harap ko na sulat. Just by looking from the crest it's from the Imperial Palace.

Binuksan ko agad at binasa. They were celebrating for the successful mission of Zodvic. Napangiti naman ako sa aking nabasa. Eleena did a good job. Bukas din ang karawaan niya. Such a good timing. Tumayo agad ako.

"Where are you heading to, Your Highness?" Tanong ni Lux.

"I have some important business to do" sabi ko at lumabas. I have to send the dress today. Siguradong siya ang pinaka magandang babae bukas.
