Once, He Became An Empress[COMPLETED]

Chapter 16

Ilang oras na akong nakatitig sa mataas na ceiling may kaunti akong naaninag doon dahil nadin sa pumapasok na liwanag ng buwan sa bintana habang panaka nakang tinatangay  naman ng hangin ang nakaladlad na kurtina roon.

Hindi ako makapaniwalang nasa loob ako ng silid ni Fisk at wala kaming ginagawa pero hindi padin ako tinatamaan ng antok.

Pagkatapos naming magpanggap bilang lovey-dovey couple kanina sa hapagkainan ay hinanda na ng mga tagapagsilbi ang isusuot kong damit, so they make me wear such revealing nightgown na mukang normal na pantulog lang naman sa mundo ko, it just that more skin are shown when you wear this lacey night dress.

Darn. After hours of the servants preparing me, Im here on a sofa far from the emperor's bed, lying down like a log, being cold like a sparrow.

I know that we're just pretending to be sleeping together but can he be more considerate to my fragile body and let me squeeze into his freaking queen huge size bed?! Damn this dude has no heart to share. 

Tumagilid ako at humarap sa kama ni Fisk, inayos ko din ang pagkakatalubong ko ng may hindi kakapalan na kumot. Nakatalikod siya mula sa direksyon ko at nasa isang side lang ng kama siya nakahiga yet he let me sleep in here.

"Leviathan. Find out about His Majesty's sleeping habits. It's bothering me."

Napasulyap akong muli sa malapad na likod ni Fisk. I remembered that I asked Leviathan something like that and he said that Fisk hardly sleep because of the nightmares he's having.

Bumangon ako at naupo. Is he somewhat sleeping right now? Now I'm curious what kind of dark past this man had. What nightmares does he have for him to barely sleep or not sleep at all?

Namalayan ko nalang ang sarili na sumampa sa kama. Naramdaman ko na naman kung gaano iyon kalambot na parang tinatawag akong humiga doon. Curious na sinilip ko ang muka ni Fisk. Naginit ata ang ulo ko nang makita ko kung gaano siya kagwapo kahit tulog. His eyes are shut closed so I could clearly see his long and thick lashes at ang itim niyang buhok ay nakababa at nakatabon sa ilang bahagi ng noo niya.

The light is dim and it's cold but sweat is visible on his forehead na ngayon ay medyo nakakunot na. Is he dreaming about something?

I put my index finger in front of his nose to check if he's alive and breathing and yes he is, very heavily.

Napapitlag ako nang bigla niyang hawakan ang kamay ko at pilipitin iyon. Halos mapasigaw ako sa sakit buti nalang ay agad naman niyang binitawan iyon,mabilis na dumistansiya ako sa kanya nang bumangon siya't naupo.

He disheveled his hair and looked at me with much irritation written on his face. Pilit na ngumiti ako sa kanya pero nawala din agad iyon dahil sa tanong niya.

"Do you have a death wish?"

"Is that a threat?" I asked.

"Leave." Mariin niyang sabi sapat na para matakot ako pero hindi ako nagpatinag. I smiled at him.

"Hmm...how about the Emperor, his highness Odhran and I live happily and meaningfully?" Ani ko. Cause I don't wanna die and don't have any plan to die again.

"You..." He glared at me kaya napalunok lang ako ng laway sa sobrang kaba.

"Why can't I see anything--never mind. You're talking nonsense, get lost." He brushed up his hair frustratedly. Kumunot naman ang noo ko. See the what?

Tatayo na sana siya para umalis ng kama but I hold a part of his robe. He blankly looks at me as if he's warning me that I'll lose my neck any moment but I took the courage to do so I will stand my ground dahil nagawa ko na at kusang gumalaw nalang iyong kamay ko kanina.
