Princess Knight

🗡️15🗡️

Cassandra Elise Alteria

I casually said 'stop' and raised my hands up. "Spare the child Lady Cecilia," malamig kong sabi. Hindi ko nga inaasahan na siya ang makikita ko. How can she kill her own child?

"Ah! Here's the duke! What an unexpected guest!" masayang sabi niya. "Why would you kill your own child?" tanong ko. Any mother won't just kill their child!

Nginisian naman niya ako at nagulat nang may mga lumitaw na lalaki sa likod ko and they grabbed my hands. "Why won't I? It's not my child anyway! Anak siya ng kabit niya!" sabay turo kay Gary. I'm so confused right now!

"Kaya sumali ako sa détrôner la royauté! Minahal kita Gary pero ito lang isusukli mo sa akin!" umiiyak niyang sabi. "Where is Elise?" malamig niyang sabi. Ano ang kailangan nila sa akin? Tumingin naman si Gary sa akin.

"I don't know where she is!" sagot niya pabalik. "Okay. Since you won't tell I can keep her brother," lumapit naman ito sa akin at hinawaka na ako sa mukha.

Tinignan niya ako ng mabuti sa mata. "Baka alam mo kung nasaan ang prinsipe Elizar?" nanlaki naman bigla ang mata ko. Why would she ask me about the prince. "You see. I have orders,"

"Kill them all and bring Elizar to my room." sabi nito bago umalis. I let them dragged me kahit na kaya kong takasan ang mga ito. I need more information.

Bago nila ako ilabas nagkatinginan pa kami ni Rosa and we both nodded. That's a sign that she would break loose. She's quite deadly you see. She's an assassin before she became a maid.

Dinala na nila ako sa kwarto ni Cecilia at itinali sa higaan niya. I looked at her with disgust. "My lord, before I kill you don't you think I deserve to taste you?" God! What the hell is this woman thinking?

"Tell me, Lady Cecilia. Ano ba talaga ang tunay na dahilan kaya ginagawa mo ito." malamig kong sabi. I saw her facial expression change a little before turning back. "Nothing!" galit niyang sabi saka lumapit sa akin. Hinawakan niya ang mukha ko at hinawakan ang labi ko

"I just want to know where your sister is? After all, she have the prince in her hands." how the hell did she know?! Wait--- I should've known well. "Are you perhaps Cecilia Copper? The sister of Perry Copper?" she just looked at me plainly

"You ask too many questions my lord, but I will answer that. It's true that Perry is my brother and he's the one who told me that the Prince is in your custody." I hope they're okay then. "Now that I answered it. I'll taste you now." she kissed me passionately and let her have it her way.

She quickly took of her dress and started unbuttoning my shirt then she saw a wrapped bandage around my chest. Kumunot agad ang noo niya saka kinapa ang pang-ibabang parte ko. She looks humiliated right now. "You... you're a woman?!" I just smiled at her

"Too bad. You can't taste me." pagkasabi kong 'yon ay biglang bumukas ang pinto at niluwa noon si Amelia. Nahawakan naman agad ni Light si Cecilia. Tinulungan naman ako ni Amelia na kalagan ang sarili ko.

I fixed myself then lumapit kay Cecilia. "How disgraceful noble." sabi ko bago siya nilagpasan pero napahinto ako sa sinabi niya. "Disgraceful? Anong tawag sa'yo? You homosexual person! You pretend to be someone else! Kahit magbihis lalaki ka! Isa ka pa ring babae na kailangan iligtas. What do you call that again? Ah! Damsel in distress!"

I coldly looked at her. "I can defend myself. I'm no damsel in distress. I AM A KNIGHT." at tinalikuran ko siya. Hinanap ko si Gary at Rosa, and I saw them looking at the infant.

"How are you?" I said. He looked at me. "Good. Ikaw?" tanong niya. I just gave him a small smile. "Hindi ko maisip na magagawa iyon ng asawa ko. I thought she accepted my child since her mother died during birth pero hindi pala she killed her and didn't accept the child."

Tinapik ko naman siya sa balikat. "Thank you and I'm sorry." he smiled at me. "I can't risk to expose you. Even if it cost me my life." naiiyak niyang sabi. "You can. Gaya nga ng sabi ni Rosa I can understand. You almost lost your baby," tinitigan niya ang batang babae.

"But I didn't cause I knew you'd come," hindi na ako umimik at umalis na ito ng tawagin siya ng isang doktor. "My lord, she's in the carriage." tumango naman ako at tinignang muli ang mag-ama. I think Rosa needs to stay here for the meantime.

"Amelia, pakitawag si Rosa." tinanguan naman niya ako saka iniwan. Naglakad naman na ako papunta ng karwahe. "My lord?" tawag niya. Nilingon ko siya at nilapitan. Hinawakan ko ang kamay niya.

"Stay here. Magpapadala ako ng allowance. Help Gary to take care of his estate and his child." I said while smiling. I can see in her eyes that she fell for him and to the child. "Yes my lord. Thank you," she smiled and tear escape in her eyes. "Report every month okay?" tinanguan niya akong muli saka niyakap

"Thank you." pagkatapos noon ay umalis na ito. "You should stay for the night," sabi ni Gary dahil siya ang pumalit kay Rosa. "Thank you pero kailangan kong asikasuhin ang asawa mo." tumingin ito sa karwahe at nagtama ang tingin nilang dalawa saka umiwas ng tingin si Gary

He sighed deeply. "Update me about my wife's case." tumango naman ako sakanya. "Aalis na kami. Mag-iingat na kayo rito." we bid goodbye to each other.

Sumakay na ako ng karwahe at magkaharap kami ni Cecilia samantalang si Light ang magmamaneho at si Amelia ang escort. Nagsimula naman na kaming naglakbay at habang nasa kalagitnaan ay nagtama ang tingin naming dalawa. "Do you regret?"

Napatingin naman sa akin si Cecilia at tinaasan niya ako ng kilay. "Do you regret about joining the détrôner la royauté?" sinamaan niya naman ako ng tingin. "No." madiin niyang sabi. "Tell me, what is your aim or should I say what is the goal of this group?" tanong ko pero nginisian niya lang ako.

"Why would I tell? You have the blood of a royal." kumunot naman ang noo ko. "Anong connect? Anong koneksyon ng dugong bughaw sa grupo niyo?!" sinamaan niya lang ako ng tingin. "Alam mo ba na ang détrôner la royauté ay may katuloy? Well you won't know since your pesky little rat isn't verified member yet at mga VIP lang ang nakakaalam,"

So she knows about Amelia as well! Kaya pala hindi kami basta basta nakakarating sa mga event na hinohold nila noon! Hinaharangan niya ang lahat dahil alam niya ang mga galaw namin!

Kumunot ang noo ko ng biglang inilabas ni Cecilia ang necklace niya with the logo of the group. Binuksan niya ito at may pill na nilabas. "I can't tell anymore information but before I die I will tell you this," ininom niya ang gamot at ngumisi siya

"Détrôner la royauté et les nobles régneront," pagkasabi niyang 'yon ay sinubukan kong tanggalin ang pill sa bunganga niya pero bumula na ang labi niya. I checked for her pulse and she's dead!

But one thing for sure, we got the group's name
