She Is Zarcaen's

CHAPTER 15

AUDRESYNE

Where does my curiousness lead me again?

Of course, to his royal office.

This is my first time entering a royal office. Itim at maroon ang tema ng kaniyang opisina. Ang opisinang ito ay napakalaki, kasing lawak ng silid na kasalukuyan kong tinutuluyan ngayon. Madilim ang paligid, halos walong wall torches ang narito sa loob. 

Ramdam ang napakabigat at intimidating aura na nababalot sa loob ng silid. Halatang delikadong tao ang nagmamay-ari sa opisinang ito. 

"Who are you," a cold voice lingers in my ears after a moment of silence. Nakaupo ito sa kaniyang royal swivel chair. Seryoso ang tingin sa akin habang naka-cross ang braso, mas lalong dumepina ang namumutok nitong braso.

"Audresyne," sagot ko, but his eyes were more intense. "I'm Chantyss Audresyne Corwell," I answered icily. 

I don't know what I have gotten myself into to tell him my real name, my full name to be exact. I am not that person who easily trusts my real name to others, especially since we just met yesterday. But I almost forgot that there's no need to worry about it considering that I am not in my world, my mafia enemy won't trace me since I am in another world. Wala ako sa Earth, literally.

However, there's still inside me that disagrees with the idea of trusting my name to someone I just met even though I am not on Earth. I am still a foreigner here who doesn't even know a single law on this continent. Wala pa sa kalingkingan ng daliri ang nalalaman ko sa mundong ito, sobrang layo pa. Pakiramdam ko nga ay ang katangahan ko dito ang siyang papatay sa akin. Ignorante at wala pa akong alam sa Taylorynth, para akong kasisilang na sanggol at nagsisimula pa lang matuto sa mundo kung saan ako magka-isip. Nabuhay sa mundong walang ina at amang gagabay sa lahat ng pagsubok na darating. 

I am still thankful that I have my memories, dahil kung wala akong memorya nang magising ako sa bahay ni Origena, hindi ko alam kung saan ako mangagapa. Hindi ako magiging aware na wala na pala ako sa mundo kung saan ako isinilang. I am as innocent as a baby when it comes to this world full of mysteries.

I have no one to trust, hindi ko pa kabisado ang mga tao rito kung anong mga motibo nila matapos malamang hindi ako tagarito. It's really dangerous to trust someone. But since I have no choice, I still haven't yet found my way out here. I have to follow them dahil ako ang dayo dito, ako dapat ang mag-adjust. Doon lang ako gagamit ng dahas kapag pakiramdam ko'y masama ang kanilang motibo.

He just stared at me. He didn't even give me any feedback. Parang sa naging sagot ko ay minimemorya niya ang aking pangalan. Umiwas ako ng tingin at walang pasabing umupo kaharap sa kaniya. I even put my feet on his table which made him stare at me deeply. 

"Chantyss Audresyne."

Nanuyo ang aking lalamunan nang bigla niyang banggitin ang pangalan ko. Malamig iyon pero di ko mawari kung guni-guni ko lang dahil nakita ko ang segundong pagkislap ng kaniyang mata habang binabanggit ang aking pangalan, pero dahil may kadiliman ang paligid, I think what I've seen is just my illusions.

"Why are you here?" he asked coldly.

Pilit kong sinalubong ang matalim at asul niyang mga mata. "That's the first question on my list I couldn't answer. I have no idea why I am here in your world." I said flatly.

"Are you really from another world?" he asked me suspiciously.

I rolled my eyes. "I have given you clues and proofs already that I'm not from Taylorynth. I am from Earth," naiinis kong wika. Until now he won't still believe that I am not from here?

"I am just confirming you. I don't like traitors and liars, Audresyne. When it comes to my kingdom, I can do possible ways just to get rid of you if you bring any harm," mababatid sa boses niya ang pagkadelikado.
