Chapter 36

ELEENA'S POV

It's been 2 days since I lock myself in this f*cking room.

That sh*tty Emperor!

Pinagbawalan niya akong lumabas ng palasyo dahil sa mga nangyari. I've also heard from Martha that he is always busy and have a lot of errands. I mean, what would you expect to an Emperor?

Buti nalang at di siya bumisita rito. Kundi makakatay ko siya dito. Bumangon ako at nilapitan ang pintuan. I tried to open it and it was locked.

Nang dahil sa galit ay nasipa ko ang pintuan. F*ck! Gusto ko nang lumabas at magpahangin! Kung magagamit ko sana ang kapangyarihan ko. Sumabog na to kanina pa.

"Lady Eleena, do you need some help?" Rinig kong sabi sa labas. May dalawang kawal kasing nakabantay sa pintuan ko.

Tsk!

Mas pipiliin ko pang ikulong sa dungeon kesa dito. May makaka usap pa ako dun.

"Nothing" walang emosyon kong sabi.

"Call us if you need help Lady Eleena" rinig kong sabi ng kawal. Umupo naman ako sa sofa. Nakita ko ang sulat na ipinadala ni Zane. Kinuha ko ito at binasa ko ulit.

Dear Eleena,

          This is my third time sending you a letter. If ever you'll receive this. I just want to tell you I'm fine now. Thank you for coming here. I was very happy. I heard about the Demons come from the border. They were looking for you. Better take care of yourself okay? I'll visit you soon Agapí Mou.

                                                        Love,
                                                           Zane (Tanda)

Napatawa naman ako sa huling sinulat niya. Langya talaga tong lalaking toh. He sneak this letter from Martha. The First and Second letter that he sent never came to me. I'm sure na nakay  Caspian ang mga sulat nayun.

Napatingin naman ako sa pintuan ng pumihit ito. Bumukas ito at nagulat ng bumungad si Anne.

"Anne!!!!" Gulat kong sabi at agad nilapitan siya.

"Eleena!" Galak niyang sabi at niyakap ako. Niyakap ko rin siya pabalik.

"Bakit ka nandito? You're supposed to be in the Winter Kingdom!" Sabi ko at kumalas sa yakap niya. Niyaya ko naman siyang umupo sa sofa.

"I receive a letter from His Majesty. He wants me to take care of you starting from now" sabi niya at ngumiti. Napaseryoso naman ang mukha ko.

"Did he hurt you when you arrived here?" Tanong ko. Umiling naman siya.

"No, I talk to him at the Throne Room and he explained everything what was happening. Nothing more than that" paliwanang niya. Gumaan naman ang pakiramdam ko.

"Don't worry Eleena. He seemed change" sabi niya na ikinatawa ko.

"Hahaha, don't joke like that Anne" tawa kong sabi.

"Totoo ang sinasabi ko Eleena. Humingi rin siya ng tawad sa ginawa niya noon" sabi niya na ikinatigil ko.

WTF?! That Emperor?! Apologizing to a maid?

"Nagulat nga ako ng humingi siya ng tawad" di makapaniwalang sabi niya.

"Magiging okay din ang lahat Eleena" sabi niya. Umiling naman ako.

"Pano magiging okay? He locked me on this f*cking room Anne! Kulang nalang na maghanda ako ng lamay dito" pikon kong sabi. Napasimangot naman ako ng tumawa siya.

"It's for your safety Eleena. Those palace walls won't still protect you. It's better for you to stay here" sabi niya. Napabuntong hininga nalang ako at tumango.

"Sino kasama mo papunta dito? Ang layo pa naman ang byinahe mo" sabi ko.

"Hinatid ako ni Lux" sabi niya. Napangiti naman ako. Napatigin naman ako sa pintuan ng may pumasok.

"Greetings, Lady Eleena" bati niya. Niyakap ko naman si Anne.

"Pahiram muna kay Anne ha? Ilang taon din naman kayong nagsama sa Winter Kingdom" sabi ko. Tumawa naman siya at ngumiti.

"Anything for you Lady Eleena" sabi niya. Nakita kong nagtinginan naman sila ni Anne na ikinasimangot ko.

Langya! Nandito ako oh!

"Kailan ang kasal?" Tanong ko. Napadaing naman ako ng pinisil ni Anne ang tagiliran ko.

"Eleena!!" Bulong niyang sabi. Napatingin naman kaming dalawa ni ni Anne kay Lux ng tumawa ito.

"Soon, Lady Eleena. I'll just send you an invitation letter" sabi niya. Nakita ko namang namula si Anne.

"Lux! Nakakahiya!" Sabi ni Anne.

"Saan ang nakakahiya dun? Totoo naman ang sinabi ko" sabi ni Lux.

Okay segi, kayo na. Nagmumukhang hangin na ako dito. Bwiset!!!

"Ehem! Why don't you two talk outside first? Para naman maka paalam ka ng maayos Anne" ngiting sabi ko. Tumango naman ito at lumabas. Pagkasirado ng pintuan ay napasandal naman ako sa sofa.

Kung di nangyari ang lahat ng yun... Ganoon ba din kasaya ang relasyon namin ni Caspian?

Napailing naman ako sa naisip. Sh*t! Just forget about him!

Napansin ko naman ang bag ko sa gilid. I've never opened this bag Since I came here in the Empire. Kinuha ko ito at binuksan. This was my old things I bought from my hut in the the mountains. Napansin ko namang nay kumikinang sa loob ng bag. Kinuha ko ito at napangiti ng mapait.

It was the Moon Bracelet. Why did I even kept this? I'm sure Caspian throw his bracelet.

Ibinaba ko ang ang bag at inilagay ang bracelet sa kaliwang kamay ko. Since he won't visit me I'll just wear this for a meantime.

Tumayo naman ako at lumapit sa bintana. Naagaw naman ang atensyon ko ng may nakita akong mala gintong buhok. It was Caspian. Tinignan ko ang kasama niya at si Leo ito. May kausap silang tatlong lalaki. They seem like nobles.

Nagulat ako ng lumingon si Caspian dito. Mukhang nagukat rin siya ng makita ako pero agad din niya itong pinalit ng isang ngiti.

He look at those nobles and he glared at them. May sinabi siya pero di ko maintindihan. Lilingon sana siya dito ng agad kong takpan ng kurtina ang bintana.

CASPIAN'S POV

I was talking with these three piece of sh*ts! They were here to report about their places. Napatingin naman ako kay Killian. He was the new Duke of one of the territories of Zemira. The Sankori near in Elf Kingdom. It was also near on the border that's why he's here. Killian Findlay...

I closed my eyes for a moment. I want to see her. I miss her already...

I always check her every midnight when she's already asleep. Pero iba parin sa pakiramdam na makausap siya.

Nilingon ko ang bintana ni Eleena. Nagukat ako ng makita siyang nakatingin sakin. Mukhang nagulat rin siya ng makita ako. I just gave her smile. But her face is frowning and even gave me a disgusting look.

Napangiti nalang ako sa isip. It must be hard for her being lock up for days. But it's for her safety. I'll definitely end this quickly.

"Your Majesty, It's done" rinig kong sabi ni Leo.

"We shall take our leave Your Majesty" sabi nilang tatlo. I saw Killian look at me and walks away.

"Duke Killian" tawag ko sakanya. Napatigil naman ito sa paglakad at lumapit sakin.

"Yes, Your Majesty" sabi niya.

"Have you seen that f*cking Alchemist" seryoso kong sabi.

"No, Your Majesty. He suddenly went Vanish from the Elf Kingdom" sabi niya. Tsk! I'll definitely kill that f*cking old man. Especially, that b*tch.

"Shall I gave you an update for that Alchemist Your Majesty?" Tanong niya.

"Yes, You can go now" sabi ko. Nag bow muna ito bago umalis.

Nilingon ko uli ang bintana pero may nakatakip na kurtina nito.

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako. She's definitely mad at me.

"Felix? May problema ba?" Tanong ni Leo.

"Magpapahinga muna ako" sabi ko at naglakad papasok sa palasyo.

"Okay, You go take a rest. Wala ka pang saktong tulog. I still need to go home for my wife. Babakik ako rin mamayang gabi" rinig kong sabi niya.

I immediately headed to my room. Umupo agad ako sa kama. I closed my eyes and massage the bridge of my nose.

Should I go visit her?

Even I was busy on this days. I still can't concentrate because of her. She's always popping to my mind. I sigh. Oarang di ma kokompleto ang araw ko pag di siya nakikita.

Napansin ko ang Box  na nasa side table at kinuha ito. Binuksan ko ito at kinuha ang bracelet and a ring . A bracelet with an amulet of a sun and the ring I gave to Eleena before.

I remembered that I did try to throw this bracelet but there's a urge inside me not to. And I was thankful for that. Binaba ko muna ang singsing at isinuot ang bracelet. I remembered Eleena is the one who out it on wrist before.

I grab the ring and get up. Kumabas ako ng kwarto at naglakad patungo sa kwarto ni Eleena.

I want to see her...

Ilang minuto at nakarating na ako sa pintuan niya.

"Greetings, Your Majesty" sabi nila.

"Open the door" sabi ko at agad silang sumunod. They slowly opened the door. Pumasok ako at sinirado naman nila ito.

I was about to call her when I saw her laying on her bed sleeping. Napangiti naman ako at nilapitan siya. Umupo ako sa gilid ng kama at okinawit ang ilang hibla ng buhok sa tenga niya. She's still beautiful even when she's asleep.

Napaisip naman ako bigla.

If those things didn't happen. Masaya na siguro kami ngayon. Were must be married and She would be crowned as the Empress of The Heisenberg Empire. I could have even seen her bearing our child. If those those things didn't happen. Mahal pa niya ako ngayon.

I gently held her left hand when I notice an amulet hangging on her wrist.

Wait... That is...

The bracelet... She also kept it? Napangiti naman ako sa nakita. Kinuha ko ang singsing sa bulsa at isinuot sa kamay niya. I kissed at the back of her hand at out in on my cheek.

Nakita kong naalimpungatan siya sa ginawa ko.

"Your Majesty? What are you doing in here?" Tanong niya at bumangon.

"If those things didn't happen Eleena. Mahal mo paba ako hanggang ngayon?" Sabi ko at dahan dahang inilapit ang mukha ko sakanya.

"I-i don't understand. Your Majesty" she said. I stared at her lips and look unto his eyes. It's like our eyes were locked up.

I held her hand and kiss her on the lips. She seemed shock to what I did but I just close my eyes and continued kissing her.

"C-casp--" sabi niya  pero diniin ko ang labi sakanya. Seconds have passed when I notice she responded.

Napangiti naman ako sa sa isip. I gently held her cheeks and kissed her passionately.
