His Peculiar Empress, WAS A Man[COMPLETED]

Chapter 36

"Sabi nila, kung sino daw ang katabi mong manood sa ilalim ng fireworks ang siyang makakatuluyan mo." Napahinto ako sa paglalakad nang marinig ko si Lev.

"Right, Ruth and I are meant to be together." I nodded.

"No idiot, I'm talking about that young Duke of Fletcherson."

"Really" I boredly replied.

"It's a human thing y'know. How come you didn't know, as expected your brain is rotten." He nodded.

"Yes, yes. That's bullshit."

Ibang ship pa ata ang ipapalayag nitong si Lev.

Naglalakad kami sa mahabang pasilyo sa palasyo ng Emperor, I'm going to see him. I wrote him a letter a few weeks ago to confirm the whereabouts of the Rosenbergs but the dude gave a damn about replying.

Nasa harap na ako ng tanggapan ni Fisk. Tumingala ako kay Lev.

"Are you planning to go inside with me?"

"Why not?" He shrugged.

"It's none of your business, get lost! Shoo!"

"Just call me in case you need backup." He winks. Biglang umakyat lahat ng dugo ko sa ulo, whenever I need him, he rarely showed up. This devil I wanna have his neck cut! Grr!

Bago pa ako makagawa ng masama sa kanya ay nararamdam naman siya, then wave goodbye, saying good luck.

"Fighting!"

"Shut up!"

I knocked at the Emperor's door, walang knight or doorman na nakaabang dito, he must have dismissed all of them.

"It is I, Pfeiffer Rosenberg, Your Majesty!"

I sighed.

Malakas na tinulak ko ang mabigat at malaking pintuan makalipas ng ilang minutong walang sumagot mula sa loob.

A man of few words indeed.

Sinuyod ko ng tingin ang buong silid, but he's not around. Nagdesisyon akong pumasok na lamang at kakatukin ko sana ang connected door ng office at bedroom when I heard a deep sigh and breathe somewhere.

Napatingin ako sa sofa. Parang tumayo lahat ng balahibo ko sa katawan nang makita ko ang hubo na pangitaas ni Fisk.

He's sleeping and seems to be in pain while at it, malalim ang paghinga niya at tumatagaktak ang malalaking butil ng pawis mula sa noo maging sa leeg nito.

Hindi ako makagalaw, hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko. Should I wake him up? What if he strangulates me, or worst kills me for touching him? That scares the hell out of me.

Napalunok ako ng laway at dahang nilapitan siya. I slowly reached for his forehead with my index finger, nakakunot ito, indicating that this man is in pain. Nailayo ko din naman agad iyon nang maramdaman ang kakaibang init.

That burn!

His body literally is scorching hot!

Mabilis na lumabas ako at nagtawag ng tagapagsilbi while ringing the small bell.

"SOMEBODY BRING ME A BASIN OF WATER AND A TOWEL. NOW. HURRY!"

Nagkagulo ang mga tagapagsilbi na biglang nagsilabasan sa kani-kanilang mga lungga.

I don't wanna do this but it's better to take care of him instead of entrusting this man to his servants. Who knows if he hurt them, worst they'll be infected by this strange black fume that's going out of Fisk's body.

"Empress, let us-!" A maid barged in but suddenly lost consciousness. Nanlaki ang mata ko but had no time to be shocked.

I asked the other servants to take the maid away while not inhaling this room's air. I also warned them not to get close to this room and stay away.
