Another Life As The Emperor's Concubine

Chapter 29

"THE Third Concub- Ehem, the Princess of the North, Lady Amara Yvaine Eliazar arrived!" Nang bumukas ang malaking pintuan ay tumambad sa akin ang malawak na hardin, napupuno ito ng mga palamuti at may isang malaking mesa sa gitna.

Ang mga babae ay napatigil sa kani-kanilang ginagawa, nang dumapo ang kanilang mata sa akin ay napuno ito ng panghuhusga at pagkainggit. I raised my brow at them.

I gracefully walked inside, tumigil ako sa isang upuan na halata namang para sa akin. I gently sit there not minding their gazes.

"I'm glad you agree to come to our humble tea party, Lady Amara." Said by a sweet tone, and there stand a blonde girl.

Mania Siren, her hawk eyes roamed from my head to toe. She stared at my eyes before smiling.

"It's my pleasure." Sinuklian ko rin sya ng ngiti.

Pinatunog nya ang hawak na kopita gamit ang kutsara, gaining the attention of all the ladies.

"Again, I would like to welcome everyone to our tea party. May you enjoy." Nagpalakpakan ang mga kababaihan.

Matapos iyon ay kanya-kanya nang usap ang lahat, hindi pa rin mawala-wala sa paligid ang awra na puno ng inggit.

They are envious when someone outpowered them through dresses, accessories and beauty.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit walang lumalapit upang makipag-usap sa akin ngunit mas mainam na sapagkat gusto ko ng katahimikan. Nakakatamad makipagplastikan.

Nagulat na lamang ako nang may humarang sa aking paningin, I saw a petite girl with an innocent face. Medyo naiinis ako sa ngiti nya, she's not a good actor.

"Lady Amara, may I pour you a tea." Bago pa ako makahindi ay kinuha nya ang tea cup at nilagyan ang aking baso.

As she hand it over, the whole place were filled with a gasp. Mabilis na naglakbay ang init ng tsaa papunta sa aking balat.

The tea had been spilled all over my dress!

Sa halip na magalit ay mas pinili kong manatiling kalmado sa kabila ng nararamdamang paso sa balat. Tumayo ako at pabalang na tiningnan ang babae.

Her face is filled with a fake concern.

"How can a lady like you act so clumsy, you don't even know how to pour a simple tea? Looks like you lack some table manners, scatter away and go learn some etiquette." Pagkatapos sabihin iyon ay mabilis akong naglakad paalis.

May napagtanungan akong gwardya tungkol sa kung saan ang guest room dito, I need to change.

As I was about to take a turn, someone grabbed my hands and pulled me to the dark side of the hallway.

Nangunot ang noo ko ngunit hindi ko sinubukang gumalaw, I don't sense danger.

"Here." Saad ng taong nasa harapan ko gamit ang mahinhing boses. I looked at the thing the person gave me, a very well sewed handkerchief.

Kinuha ko ito at nagsalita. "Thank you, Lady Mania." The lady of Siren's house just looked at me with pity.

"I'll be the one to ask for your apology, I'm sorry about what my cousin, Ariel, did." She said with a worried voice.

My bitchy side kept telling me not to accept her apology, I mean, someone just bathed me with a hot tea! Not to mention my very very expensive dress got wrecked.

Ngunit pinanatili kong kalmado ang mukha. "Ah, yes, it's fine."

Tatalikod na sana ako ngunit mabilis syang nagsalita. "Lady Amara, if you want, you can borrow some of my dresses. Follow me." Hindi na nya ako binigyan ng pagkakataon na sumagot dahil mabilis syang naglakad, wala akong ibang magawa kundi sumunod.

Her room is filled with purple colors, like literally, all of her things inside are purple!

Dumiretso ang babae sa isang malaking walk in closet. She spends a minute there before turning her attention to me.

Dala-dala ang isang itim at magarbong damit ay lumapit sya sa akin. Hindi na ako tumutol pa nang ipasuot nya iyon sa akin, I don't have a choice cause I didn't bring any dresses with me.

Matapos makabihis ay magkasama kaming lumabas upang makabalik na sa lugar kung saan idinaos ang tea party.

As we walked inside, a group of ladies blocked our path. Isa na roon si Ariel. A typical and cliche event that usually happens on a movie.

May mga bitchy bullies na pagtitripan ang bida. Ang pinagkaiba nga lang ay parang ako pa yata ang mas bagay sa karakter ng bully. My beautiful eyebrows are raising, with my hands crossed.

Dahil ang liliit nila ay nakatingala sila sa akin. Tsk, pathetic dwarfs.

I heard Mania sighing. "Ano na naman ito, Ariel? Can you stop acting like a 5-year old kid?" Bakas sa boses ni Mania ang pagkairita. Maging ako din naman, these bitches are acting like a child!

Ariel rolled her eyes. "Hindi naman ikaw and sadya namin, Lady Mania. We just need to have a little chit chat with this girl." She said portraying to me.

"She don't want to talk with you all. Spare her from your playing, Ariel." Maotoridad sa saad ni Mania. "It's my tea party so better behave, or you all will have to leave." Dahil sa sinabi ni Mania ay nagdadalawang isip na ang mga alipores na kasama ni Ariel.

They can't bear being kicked out from a tea party because that shit's embarrassing!

"Playing a hero now, huh? Magpinsan nga tayo ngunit baka nakakalimutan mo, mas mataas ang ranggo ng pamilya ko kaysa sa iyo." Ariel said with a mocking tone.

I sarcastically laughed at what she said. "Move."

"I still have something to say to you, lady Amara." Nagagalit na sabi ni Ariel.

Nangunot ang noo ko at binigyan sya ng isang matalim na tingin. "A princess like me, don't have a time to waste just to talk with a lowly life like you."

Nilampasan ko sya ngunit narinig ko na naman ang kanyang tinig. "No wonder why the Emperor divorced you, acting all high and mighty. When infact, you're just an unworthy Concubine."

Hindi makapaniwalang napatawa ako, hindi pa sila matapos-tapos sa isyung yan? I mean, they should fucking move on.

"Ariel, don't cross the line!" Rinig kong suway ni Mania.

Hindi ako lumingon bagkos ay tiningnan isa-isa ang mga kababaihang nakikinig lang sa nangyari.

I sigh. "The King of North, my father, will hear about how scandalous this party went. All of you ladies, will face a King's wrath."

At oo, nagmumukha akong batang mahilig magsumbong, but who cares? Seeing this ladies especially Ariel, getting punished will surely make me happy.

Humingi muna ng paumanhin sa akin si Mania bago hinayaan akong umalis. Wala pa akong planong bumalik sa palasyo kasi may pupuntahan muna ako.

Drake's Mansion.

I need to feed up my curiosity.
