Chapter 46

ZANE'S POV

I take a deep breath and look at the view. Good thing it stop raining snow. I decided to take a rest from work today.

I look at my pocket watch and it's already 9:53 am. Sumakay agad ako sa kabayo. I immediately went to the side of the mountain.

Ilang minuto ay nakarating na ako. Bumaba ako sa kabayo at inayos ang coat. I called the mountain wolves and they immediately came.

"It's been a long time" I said and patted their heads. I smiled when I remembered I take Eleena here to introduce this fellas.

Napahawak naman ako sa bolo tie. It's the bolo tie Eleena gave me. I wear it today...

Again...

"Eleena" sabi ko at hinigpotan ang paghawak ng bolo tie.

"What a great timing"

I immediately take out my sword at turn around. Nagulat naman ako sa nakita.

Black hair and purple eyes just like Eleena.

"Who are you" seryoso kong sabi at itinutok ang espada sa kanya. Tinaas naman niya ang dalawang kamay na parang sumusuko.

"You need to calm down young man" ngising sabi niya at hinawakan ang tuktok ng espada at ibinaba ito ng konti. I swing my sword and it cause his hands to bleed.

"I said who the f*ck are you" diin kong sabi. I notice the wolves starts to be aggressive. I ordered them to stay still. Napalingon naman ako sa harap ng tumawa ito.

I saw him grab a cloth on his pocket and wipe the blood.  I was suprised when he suddenly bowed and look at me.

"Greetings, Your Highness. Amadues Kier Rosenheim at your service" he said and smirk.

What?!

Agad akong na alarma at inihanda ang sarili ko kung ano man ang nangyari. I never expect the Ruler of the Demon Kingdom look like this.

A demon who also look like a human.

"What do you want from Eleena" diin kong sabi. He's starting to show himself. Eleena life would be in danger right now. I need to tell her about this.

"I came here to talk to you" he saod and grab a piece of stick.

"What do you want from me" seryoso kong sabi. Napangisi naman siya.

"You want her right? I can help you" sabi niya na ikinatigil ko. What the f*ck is he talking about?!

"I can make her yours forever but you need to play also with my plan" sabi niya at lumapit sakin.

"Gèrfàzón" I said and a magic circle appeared at my back. It started to throw some Ice spikes on him but he immediately avoided it.

Tsk!

"Don't f*cking come near to me" I said in a threaten voice.

"You know young man, If there's still a way to get what you want you must grab it" sabi niya habang papalapit sakin. Nabigla ako ng hinarangan siya ng mga lobo.

"Oh, some fellas who wants to protect their dear King" sabi niya habang nakatingin sa mga lobo. Sh*t! This is bad. They'll end up dead.

"What is your plan" sabi ko na ikinagisi niya.

"The King is finally interested" sabi niya at napatawa. I ordered the wolves to step aside. I walk towards him.

"What is your plan" seryoso kong sabi. He draw a line between us and look at me.

"A plan that will change everything" seryosong sabi niya.

ELEENA'S POV

"You want me to help you?" Tanong ni Caspian na ikinasimangot ko.

"Kaya ko Caspian" sabi ko at sumakay sa kabayo. Napangiti naman siya at sumakay sa kabayo niya. He decided to take a break from his work for now. I was confuse but he just told that he wants to spend some time with me.

A while ago, he taught me about the sword. We also had a sword fighting and as expected he always win. Tinatawanan lang ako ng Emperor na to. Edi siya na magaling sa espada. Nagpapaturo ako pero tinawanan lang ako. Langya talaga.

"How about a race?"

Napakunot naman ang noo ko at nilingon siya. Langya! Pagod na ako sa mga laro Caspian!

Ang sarap niyang sabihan ng ganyan pero parang di ko magawa dahil sa mga ngiti niya. I'm glad he's smiling like that. I just love seeing him smiling. Bakit ba ang gwapo ng Emperor na toh? I was wearing my uniform as usual while he's just wearing a white shirt and blue slacks. His clothes looks simple but he looks like a f*cking model of a famous clothing line! With those jaw dropping smile of him.

                                                                       -Pinterest

Langya! Gawan ko na kaya to ng commercial? Mag nenegosyo nalang ako.

"May problema ba?" Tanong niya. Nabalik naman ako sa reyalidad.

Bwiset ka Eleena! Get a hold of yourself!

"Nothing, What did you just said?" Pag iiba ko ng topic. Napangiti naman siya at inilapit ang kabayo sakin. He patted my head.

"Don't space out my love" sabi niya na ikinamula ko. Langya! Di ako ready dun!

"Che! A-ano bang premyo sa laro mo?" Sabi ko. Napansin ko naman ang nga maid na nasa gilid na nakatingin samin. They were smiling from ear to ear.

"Hmm, A kiss?" Sabi ni Caspian na ikinatigil ko. Ngumiti naman ito. Agad akong umiwas ng tingin at pinikit ang mata ko. Is he giving me a heart attack right now?!

"Ha? Ano namang mapapala ko diyan?" Sabi ko. Inilapit naman niya ang mukha niya na ikinatigil ko. 

"My love for you? It's just too much. I can't bear the rest of it" he said and kissed my forehead. Huminga muna ako ng malalim at tumingin sa daan. Ayokong ipakita sa kanya na nagpa apekto ako. I closed  my eyes and exhaled.

Bwiset ka Caspian! Too much ka na rin sa mga banat mo!!!!

"Stop with those sh*tty lines of yours Caspian. Let start this f*cking race game of yours" sabi ko.

"I told you before Eleena. Stop cussing. Do you want me to kiss you here while those maids were looking at us?" rinig kong sabi ni Caspian. Pinandilatan ko naman siya ng mata na ikinatawa nito. Narinig kong napatili yung maid sa gilid.

Kanina pa to sila. Bat di pa sila umaalis?

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako.

"As you wish Your Majesty" sabi ko. We started our game. We did 3 laps and didn't expect that I win.

"Pano ba yan? Nanalo ako" ngiting sabi ko. Nagtaka naman ako ng sumeryoso ang mukha niya. Ayaw ba niyang manalo ako?

"Then, I'll grant you one request" sabi niya. Napangiti naman ako at napaisip.

Hmm... Ano kayang maganda?

"Shall we take a stroll outside? Yung malapit lang dito sa Palasyo" sabi ko. Di niya agad ako sinagit at napa isip. There would be chance that he won't allow it because of that man.

"Okay, I also want to show you something" sabi niya na ikinatuwa ko. We headed to the gate and the knights opened the gate.

We entered a forest and minutes have passed we've arrived. Namangha naman ako sa nakita. I can clearly see the whole Capital in here. Ang ganda. Lalo nat palubog na rin ang araw.

"It's beautiful" I said while looking at the city. I never knew Caspian knows about this kinds of places.

"I'm glad you like it" sabi niya at habang nakatingin sa City. I closed my eyes and feel the breeze. Ang tahimik at ang ganda ng simoy ng hangin. I hope I can experience this forever. Having a peaceful life.

"When shall I experience a peaceful life?" Sabi ko. A lot of problems that I need to face right now. I didn't even know why Amadues wants me.

Napatingin naman ako kay Caspian ng hinawakan niya ang kamay ko.

"It's okay Eleena. Everyone experience a tough life. I know you can overcome it. Don't forget that I'm always here for you. To protect you and love you for the rest of my life" he said. Niyakap ko naman siya ng mahigpit.

"I know, I'm a strong woman right? Just like you said" sabi ko. I heard him chuckled and hug me tightly.

"Yeah, You are" sabi niya. Kumalas ako sa yakap at hinalikan ang pisngi niya. Nabigla ito sa ginawa ko pero gagad ito napalitan ng ngiti.

"I love you" he said and caress my cheek.

"I love you too" I said and hold his right hand.

Ikinawit naman niya ang ilang hibla ng buhok ko sa tenga at tinitigan ako. Nakatitig siya sa mga mata ko pero unti-unting itong bumababa hanggang umabot ito sa labi.

His face is getting closer and I just close and eyes and wait for our lips to met.

Ilang sigundo ay naglapat ang labi namin. He's kissing me gently and I responded to his kisses.

Seconds have passed and our lips parted. He smiled and kiss my forehead.

"We should go back now. It's getting dark" he said. I nooded and hop on my horse.

FAST FORWARD

"Greetings, Your Majesty and Lady Eleena" bati ng kawal pagkapasok namin sa gate. Lumapit naman si Sir Sebas at binati kami.

"Lady Eleena, you have a visitor" sabi niya na ikinataka ko. Sino namang bibisita sakin sa oras na to?

"Who is it?" Tanong ko.

"It's King Zane of the Winter Kingdom, Lady Eleena" sabi niya. Nagkatinginan naman kami ni Caspian. May kailangan ba siyang sabihin sakin?

Tumango naman ako at bumaba sa kabayo.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Napalingon naman ako kay Caspian. His face was serious.

"Pupuntahan ko siya" sabi ko. Bumaba naman siya at sinamaan ako ng tingin.

"No, let him go home" seryoso niyang sabi at hinawakan ang kamay ko. Napabuntong hininga nalang ako at napailing.

"Baka may kailangan siya sabihin and I also want to tell him about us" sabi ko.

"Let me come with you" sabi niya. Umiling naaman ako at bumitaw sa kamay niya.

"It's better of it's just the two of us Caspian" sabi ko.

"Then no, Go to your room Eleena. I'll go talk to him" sabi niya at nilagpasan ako. I immediately grab his hand.

"Fine, but can you just wait for me at the entrance? I really want to have a deep conversation with him Caspian"pilit kong sabi. Buti nalang at napapayag ko siya. We went together and like we decided he waited at the entrance.

"Makikita mo naman ako dito. Madali lang to" sabi ko at ngumiti. Tumango naman ito.

I walk towards the tree and seconds later I saw Zane standing and standing beside the lake. Napalingon naman ako kay Caspian at nakatingin ito sakin. Di niya ako makikita sa diresyon na yun.

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako. Bahala na, I just need to hurry this up.

"Zane!" Tawag ko at tumakbo papalapit sa kanya. Napalingon naman ito sakin at napangiti.

"Eleena" sabi niya. Bigla niya akong niyakap na ikinagulat ko.

"I miss you" he said. Kumalas agad ako sa yakap niya.

"Why are you here? Gabi na" sabi ko. Bigla namang nawala ang ngiti niya.

"I came here to tell you something" sabi niya. Why does gis face became serious?

"What is it Zane?" Tanong ko.

"Why did you chose him over me?" Tanong niya na ikinatigil ko. Alam na niya pala lahat.

"I love hi---" napatigil naman ako ng bigla siyang magsalita.

"Ano ba ang meron sa kanya na wala sakin? He hurt you Eleena but you still choose him" sabi niya.

"I love you but you didn't still see me as a man for you. I let my hopes up because of what happened. I thought I already have a chance and a place in your heart" dugtong niya. I didn't know what to say. Parang biglang umatras ang dila ko.

I saw his tears started to fall.

"Zane, you have a place in my heart. You are -----" napatigil ako ng biglang hinawakan niya ang kamay ko.

"Be my Queen Eleena. Matutunan mo naman akong mahalin di ba?" sabi niya. It hurts seeing him hurting like this.

I held his cheeks and wipe his tears.

"Zane... You are precious to me. You are my friend. It's true, Caspian did hurt me and did horrible things to me but I learned to forgive him. I realize that I still love him. For all those years I still haven't move on. I just can't afford to lose him Zane. I'm sorry" I said and my tears started to fall. Hiniwakan naman niya ang kamay ko at binaba ito. Lumayo ito sakin at pinunasan ang mga luha niya.

"I'm sorry Eleena but I can't afford to lose you too" sabi niya. Nagulat ako ng may biglang tumakip sa bibig ko.

"Hmmpp!!!" Nagpupumilagas ako pero ang lakas niya. Tinignan ko si Zane at umiwas lang siya ng tingin.

Biglang gumuho ang mundo ko.

"You've finally made up your decision" sabi ng nasa sa likod ko.

Napatigil ako ng marinig ang pamilyar niyang boses. Pinilit kong lumingon at nagulat ng makita siya.

Amadues...

"Let's go, Lets not waste some time here" sabi ni Zane at tumalikod. Agad kong inapakan ang paa ni Amadues at napabitaw ito sakin.

"CASPIA------" di ko natuloy ang sinabi ng nahuli ulit ako ni Amadues.

"Tumahimik ka kung ayaw mong mamatay ang mahal mo" sabi niya na ikinatigil ko.

No...

Bakit nangyayari ang lahat ng to?! Why Zane is with Amadues?

Napatingin ako sa Gartx sa kamay ko. If this hasn't been on my wrist. I should have already defend myself.

Caspian...

Think Eleena! Think! There's still a way!

Napatingin naman ako sa bulaklak na nasa paanan ko at napatingin sa puno.

I closed my eyes and started humming.

Please, please work....Lend me your power

"What is happening?" Napadilat naman ako at nakitang umilaw ang mga bulaklak. Walang tigil sa pag tulong mga luha ko. Please... I hope you notice this Caspian.

Save me...

CASPIAN'S POV

I'm still standing here and waiting for Eleena. Ang tagal na niya.

Should I go check on her?

Nabigla ako ng biglang nagsi ilawan ang mga bulaklak. This just always happens when Eleena sing for the tree. Nagtaka naman ako ng hindi ko marinig ang boses niya.

I notice the flowers starts to flicker. This never happens when she's doing the ritual.

My heart started to throb and panic.

Eleena!

Agad akong tumakbo papasok. I'll definitely kill that f*cking man!

Biglang tumigil ang mundo ko ng makita si Eleena. Nakagapos ang kamay niya. I look at the man on her back.

Amadues...

Nilingon ko si Zane at seryoso lang itong nakatingin sakin.

"ELEENA!"sigaw ko at tumakbo papalit sakanya. Napatumba ako ng mabangga ako sa isang matigas na bagay.

A barrier

Tinignan ko siya ng masama. He just smirk and casted a spell. It's a portal...

Eleena tried to reach my hand when Zane immediately hold her hand.

"YOU F*CKER! LET HER GO NEVIS. I'LL DEFINITELY KILL YOU F*CKING TRAITOR!" sigaw ko pero ngumisi lang ito.

"I'll wait for that Caspian" sabi niya. I pointed my hand on the barrier and casted a spell.

Before I could finish I saw Amadues pointed a knife on Eleena's neck.

"Try to break it or else I'll kill her" sabi niya. Agad kong naibaba ang kamay ko.

"E-leena" utal kong sabi. Nakita kong umiling ito.

"Felix! What is happe----" rinig kong sabi ni Leo. Nakatuon lang ako kay Eleena.

No, no, no, This can't be happening... Eleena!!!
