She Is Zarcaen's

CHAPTER 59

AUDRESYNE

Sa pagmulat ng aking mata, hindi ko aakalain na masasaksihan ko muli ang pamilyar at magandang tanawin ng mundong ito.
    
Parang kanina lang naroon pa ako sa aming mundo, pero ngayon ay natatanaw ko na ang malaking kastilyo.
    
"Welcome back, your majesties. Masaya po kami sa inyong pagbabalik."
    
Upon our arrival, we were greeted by thousands of kingslayers. Their presence seemed to have grown stronger. It appears that their numbers have also increased significantly. The amount of guilds has doubled compared to when I last saw them. They were lined up on both sides of our path, resembling a red carpet. Marami ring flag na kulay maroon ang hawak-hawak ng mga kingslayers na nakalinya sa unahan.
    
As Zarcaen gracefully stepped down from the majestic royal chariot, he extended a helping hand to guide us out as well. From my vantage point, I couldn't help but notice the awe-struck expressions on the faces of the kingslayers as their eyes locked with the young child nestled in my arms. Puno ng kuryosidad ang kanilang mga mata.
    
"Mommy," Zozo suddenly called me.
    
"What is it, baby?" tanong ko. Inayos ko ang buhok niyang lumilipad sa hangin.
    
"Big toys?" He pointed at the kingslayers.
    
My brows knitted and looked at them. Pero marahan lang akong natawa nang may maalala. I remembered that he has toys with an armor suit, and I also forgot to mention that these kingslayers are wearing the knights of the Vlandior Kingdom and they looks amazing on it.

Medyo may pagkakahawig ang damit ng laruan ni Zozo at ang suot ng kingslayers ngayon kaya inaakala niyang mga malalaking laruan ang nasa aming harapan.
    
I kissed his cheek because of how adorable this little monster is.
    
Naramdaman ko ang marahang pagpulupot ng kamay ni Zarcaen sa aking baywang. Seryosong nakatanaw ito sa mga tauhan, pero nang bumaling ang tingin niya sa amin ay lumambot ang kaniyang tingin.
    
"Let me carry him, baby."
    
Agad ko namang binigay sa kaniya ang anak.
    
"Daddo!" mabilis na iniyakap nito ang maliliit na braso sa leeg ng ama.
    
"Do you like your new home, son?" he asked him with his gentle voice.
    
"Big!" pabibong wika ni Zozo at halos tumalon na sa bisig ng ama habang nakaturo sa kastilyo dahil sa excitement. Zarcaen just kissed his son's forehead.

The stolen castle of Vlandior Kingdom is now in the hands of the rightful owner.

Nakita ko ang malaking ngiti ni Nay Ariola habang pinagmamasdan kami. Ang tatlong penguins naman ay emosyonal na niyakap ang pader ng kastilyo at hinalikhalikan pa ito. Napapailing na lang ako.

Kapag nakita ito ng vice queens, I am not sure if they will laugh at them, smack their heads or probably do the same too. Knowing them, they are all not normal.
    
I remembered how they begged earlier. They don't want me and Zozo to leave. But Zarcaen has a responsibility to his kingdom, kailangan na nilang bumalik at nais niya kaming dalhin sa Taylorynth. Hindi naman ako tumutol, I really miss Taylorynth. I'm excited to see the new version of Iredale after they defeat Litavis. I can't wait to witness how the people appreciate, respect, and praise the new reign, that protects their country from any harm and even helps them in times of crisis. And I also want Zozo to see the world where his father came from. Just like Nay Ariola said, he's the only prince with royal blood in Iredale. Who knows, he might even become the next king someday if he accepts the responsibility.

Balak ko rin sanang dalhin sa susunod dito sa Taylorynth ang aking pamilya at ang tatlong vice queens para naman makita nila ang kagandahan sa mundong ito, pero hindi puwede. According to the book, the goddess herself didn't allow outsiders, especially from Earth, to easily enter Taylorynth unless they had the mark of duality or shared the blood of someone from their world, like my son, Zozo. Kaya wala akong magawa kung 'di ang dalawin nalang sila paminsan-minsan.

We used a teleportation spell to get to Taylorynth, pero sinabihan ko muna si Zarcaen na una naming puntahan ang Dark Kingdom dahil iyun ang una't nais kong makita. Wala pa rin namang pinagbago, ang kaibahan nga lang, wala ng nakatira roon. However, Zarcaen mentioned that his men occasionally use the Dark Kingdom for guild fights in the underground dome.

Ang aking paningin ay napunta sa mga royal servants na nakalinya rin sa magkabilang gilid ng napakalaking pintuan ng kastilyo. Their door is different from the common old castle door na may portcullis. This is actually my first time entering Vlandior Castle since the last time I went here, nasa labas lang ako ng kastilyo nakikipaglaban. Hindi pa ako nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na pumasok. At ngayon, nakapasok na ako, the interior is beyond what I expected. Masyadong moderno at nakakalula sa ganda. This modern castle showcases the beauty of architectural design, luxurious amenities, and of course, rich histories.

This is probably the reason why, when I first saw the castle, even though it was still under the reign of the greedy Litavis, hindi ko pa rin mapigilang humanga dahil sa ganda. I'm just thankful that he didn't destroy the beauty and the expensive aura of this castle.

Mas lalo lang nagniningning ang kaharian dahil sa kombinasyon ng maroon at puti. Maroon can symbolize the authority and prestige of the ruling class, while white can symbolize the purity of bloodlines, the divine right to rule, and the high moral standards expected of royalty.
These reflects the royal family's position of authority and their commitment to upholding noble value.

Napansin ng aking mata ang mga royal servants na halata sa kanilang mata ang katuwaan nang masilayan si Zozo, their prince.
    
"Ate Queen!"

My eyes widened when I saw the two familiar faces who were running towards my direction. Kaagad nila akong niyakap nang mahigpit. I almost forgot about them.

"Tamtam, Laplap..." I muttered silently. Hindi ko rin mapigilang yakapin ang dalawa pabalik.

It has been 2 years had passed and look at them now. Hanggang baywang ko lang silang dalawa noong huli ko silang nakita, pero ngayon ay ang tangkad na. Halos umabot na sila sa kili-kili ko.

Why the hell did they grow so fast?

"How are you, kiddos?" I asked them and caressed their hair. I couldn't help but to stare at them.

They were so thin before and so malnourished kid, pero ngayon parang lumaman na ang kanilang mga katawan. I am impressed by these people surrounding us because they really take good care of these two kids. Kitang-kita rin sa kanilang mga mata ang kagalakan. Hindi mo mahahalatang may masama silang karanasan noon.

"Miss ka na po namin. Di ka po kasi balik."

Napangiti ako. Mukhang hindi nila alam ang nangyari sa akin.

Ibinigay muna sa akin ni Zarcaen si Zozo dahil may gagawin lang ito sandali. Kaagad ko naman itong kinuha sa kaniya at kinarga.

Ipinakilala ko sa kanila si Zozo. Akala ko nung una ay susungitan sila ng baby monster ko, pero mukhang hindi na kailangan ng effort na kuhanim ang loob dahil nakita ko nalang na nakipag-baby talk na ang anak ko sa dalawa.

I'm glad that he didn't pushed them away or kicking their faces because that was his hobby.

Ikinuwento rin sa akin ng dalawa na nagpapaturo raw sila sa mga kingslayers makipaglaban habang wala ako. They want to be a known knight in this kingdom, iyun ang pangarap nila. Hindi naman ako tumutol pa.

The purpose of the training is to protect themselves from danger and to be able to protect others who are in danger. Since they're too young for serious training, they only know the basics for now. That's a good start. They will only undergo their proper training when they reach the right age, at baka magiging madali lang iyun sa kanila. And they also mentioned that they go to school everyday in the morning, walang pasok kada hapon. I'm so happy about them.

Iniwan ko muna ang tatlo saglit sa living area, naroon naman si Nay Ariola upang alalayan sila lalo na si Zozo, naging malapit na rin kasi iyun sa matanda. Nais ko lang magliwaliw saglit sa loob ng kastilyo.
    
Ngunit hindi ko aakalaing madadatnan ko ang hari sa kanilang napakalaking kusina na kumakain ng saging.

Seryoso nitong binabalatan ang prutas. Pasimple ngunit walang tunog akong naglakad patungo sa kaniyang likuran. When he was about to take a bite of the banana, agad kong itinulak ang kaniyang ulo kaya marahas na pumasok sa kaniyang bibig ang saging.

Mabilis itong nabulunan.
    
"Fuck!" He glared at me while coughing.
    
A mischievous grin plastered on my lips.

He almost made me do that before.

"Now, you know the feeling of being choked."
