She Is Zarcaen's

CHAPTER 16

Napabalik ako sa reyalidad nang maramdaman ang lamig ng tubig sa aking balat. I'm ready to take a bath now, but damn...

Hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin ako masanay-sanay sa lamig ng tubig. I used to take a bath with heater before, kaya naman mas sanay ako sa maligamgam na tubig. I'm not sure if people in this world using heater, o baka naman hindi pa talaga naimbento ang heater dito. I am also confused why this kingdom doesn't have a current, sa pagkakaalam ko may kuryente naman sa baryo na tinitirhan nina Origena. I think this is the only kingdom I know who lacks of things and is quite poor! Isn't it embarrassed to say that Dark Kingdom is facing electricity problem?

'Yung Hari nila ang expensive tingnan pero yung kaharian walang kuryente? What the hell!

I have so many rants but I can't all address them. There might have reasons which I'm not aware of!Hind na ako nagtagal pa sa loob ng banyo dahil masyado talagang malamig. Nagtungo nalang ako sa dining room kung saan kakahanda pa lang ng mga pagkain sa mesa. Ako lang mag-isa ang kumain. I asked one of the royal servants where are those grand butlers and she answered that they are with the king who went outside the kingdom.

Siguro'y naghahanap ng kikidnapin ulit ang mga ito at gawing recruit- like what they did to me. Instead of thinking about them, I come up with an idea to make something deliciously sweet, and leche flan is the first thing that entered in my mind.

Well, my life has been fucking leche this past few weeks. So, here it is. Leche flan for my leche life.

Mabuti nalang at nakapag-market si Nay Ariola noong isang araw. Nagpabili ako sa kaniya ng mga kakailanganin sa pagba-bake. Kakatapos ko lang sa paggawa ng dessert ay nakita ko si Nay Ariola na mukhang nagpa-panic. Nakarinig na rin ako na parang may nagkakagulo.

"What's the matter?" nagtataka kong tanong.

"M-may emergency, young lady."

Damn!

Agad kong hinubad ang apron at dinampot ang aking leather jacket at isinuot bago nagmamadaling lumabas ng dining room.

Nakasalubong ko pa sa daan ang napakaraming kingslayers kaya saglit akong tumabi. They are too many and they look like in a hury. Napagdesisyunan kong sumingit at pumasok sa alon nila at nakipagsabayan sa kanilang bilis. They are heading towards the exit of the palace.

Dahil naroon ako napapuwesto sa gilid, hindi ako nahirapang umalis sa kanilang alon at nagtungo sa ibang side kung saan naroon ang isang palikuan. Nakatayo lang ako roon at hinintay na maubos sila at makalabas lahat sa exit. It took seven minutes for me to wait before I decided to go out.

Napatingin ang aking mata sa buong paligid. It's a huge and wide quadrangle. Mga malalaking puno ang naroon sa gilid, it looks like a forest if you go there. Sa laki at lawak ng quadrangle, nagkasya ang napakaraming guilds na kasalukuyang seryosong nakalinya at nakaharap dito sa palasyo.

My brows knitted when I hear a familiar voice shouting in command. Nakita ko ang tatlong grand butlers, sina Lucino, Gabru, at Corio. They are in a serious face too and they are facing the thousands of guilds.

This seems odd. I have a bad feeling about this.

Mabilis akong tumakbo patungo sa puwesto nila- dahil nakasuot ako ng boots na may takong, sapat na iyon para tumunog at mapalingon sila sa aking puwesto.

"What's happening?" walang emosyon kong tanong pero may halong otoridad ang aking boses.

Nagkatinginan silang tatlo at parang nagdadalawang isip pa kung sasagutin ako o hindi.

"Answer me," mariin kong wika at tiningnan sila ng nagbabantang tingin.

Sabay-sabay ang mga itong lumunok.

"The k-king..."

Lumundag sa sobrang kaba ang aking puso. "What happened?."

"King Zarcaen was ambushed and kidnapped."

My mouth parted.

Fucking what?!

That dominant and scary king managed to be kidnapped? Well, this is probably his consequence for kidnapping people too who are just unknowingly wandering the Forbidden Forest. Napailing ako.

"Who dared to kidnap the king?" I asked flatly.

Huminga ng malalim si Corio bago ako sinagot, "ang Vlandior Kingdom, utos mismo ng kanilang hari."

I smirked coldly. I can see something red. Parang biglang nabuhay ulit ang aking dugo. Ang dugo ng pagiging isang Mafia Queen. I've been missing to have a mission since the day I found myself in here. Seems like I no longer wait for too long because I'll be doing it today.

"Ready your slayers, I'll be coming with you."

Their eyes widen.

"S-sasama ka sa amin?" gulat na tanong ni Lucino.

"Please take note that I'm the type of queen who harms anyone if her king is in danger."
