The Lost Princess

Chapter 34

Dahlia's Pov

After changing my uniform into a comfortable green tops and white trousers I headed immediately to the gates. There I saw the three of them waiting for me patiently.

"Sorry." pagpaumanhin ko ng malapit na ako sa kanila.

"It's okay." saad ni Prince Jasper at binuksan ang gate.

"Why do you guys decided to go to the market today when you can go on saturday?" tanong ko sa kanila.

"Can't. Saturday is the day that we will go back to the palace. Council said that we must prepare for the upcoming war." sagot ni Prince William.

"Isn't it that all of the noble family are also said to go back home?" tanong naman ni Prince Jeff.

"Mom and Dad didn't send me a message." sagot ko.

"Maybe they're busy. Don't worry, Isabella will be with you." saad nito.

"If ever that I have to return home, I want to bring Claire with me. She has no friends other than me." saad ko.

"If headmaster permits." saad naman ni Prince Jasper.

"Ano nga pala gagawing natin sa market?" tanong ko.

"We are going to buy for protection stone that will help protect the academy. Also, after we return to the palace we are tasked to monitor every villages in our land and give protection to the common people." saad ni Prince William.

"The birthday of the princess is in two months, do you think she will return?" tanong ni Prince Jeff.

"I hope." saad ni Prince Jasper.

Nakarating kami sa market matapos ang isang oras na paglalakad. The place is crowded and a there are lot of guards everywhere.

"You better stay with us." saad ni Prince Jeff at pumunta kami sa isang stall.

If they know how dangerous to go here, they should have inform me. Ang dami ngang kawal pero hindi naman ibig sabihin na walang mga kalaban dito.

Sumusunod lang naman ako sa kanila and I know na isinama nila ako dahil maliban sa Prinsesa, ako lang ay may alam sa kakayahan ng iba't ibang uri ng protection stone.

"This might be enough already. Lets eat first before heading back." saad ni Prince William.

Papasok na sana kami sa isang kainan ng biglang may tumawag sa amin.

"Wait, headmaster told me that we also have to buy potion ingredients. I already have a list of all of it." saad ni Princess Isabella while holding a piece of paper.

"Kain muna tayo." saad ko at napatango lang ito.

We only ordered simple food since sabi nila mahirap daw hanapin ang mga ingredients na kailangan namin since most of it are used during the time of gods and goddesses.

After naming kumain ay naglibot kami sa buong market para bumili. Kaunti pa lang ang nabili namin when I sense something. The ground is shaking beneath me and it onky means one thing 'danger'.

Napatingin sa akin si Princess Isabella and I know that she feel it too. Only a nature manipulator have that kind of ability.

"Guys, always keep your senses on the surroundings. Danger's coming." saad nito.

Nagpatuloy kami sa paglalakad hanggang sa biglang humangin ng malakas at nakita ko ang paglaki ng mga mata ni Prince William.

"We have to go to the market entrance, keep all that we bought safely." saad nito at mabilis na nawala.

Sunod namang nawala ang dalawang prinsipe habang humawak sa akin ang prinsesa at ilang sandali ay nasa labasan na kami ng tindahan.

I let out my whip with force when I saw a lot of dark soldiers with three cyclops on their back.

"What is the meaning of this?" tanong ni Prince Jasper.

"Mensahe ng hari, panahon na para sa hustisya sa mahal na reyna." saad ng punong kawal at nagsimulang umatake ang mga ito.

Lumaban na rin kami habang ang mga kawal ay inutusan namin na ilipat ang lahat ng mamamayan sa malapit na village.

Isabella's Pov

The whole market is destroyed, death is on the ground. This is my first battle against the darkness. Looking at those dead bodies of innocent villagers made my sword sway with bloodlust.

"Dahlia, Isabella call for reinforcements." sigaw ni Sky.

"Send a signal." sigaw naman ni Ivan.

I took my flare signal immediately and shot it towards the sky making a spark of our symbol 'a fairy'.

We were busy protecting those villagers left when a feel a sudden pain in my back. Napasigaw ako dahil sa hapdi at napatigil sa pakikipaglaban. Hindi pa rin nawawala ang sakit kaya sinubukan kong tingnan ang paligid ko. A lot of swords are pointed at me and I saw my friends who are surrounded with enemies. Even if the three of them rarely show emotions on their faces but I know them since birth. I can see that they are in pain too. Except Dahlia, the four of us has weakened.

"What did you do?" tanong ko.

Napatingin silang lahat sa akin and I know something happened. Napatawa lang naman ang mga kalaban na ikinagalit ko.

"Hanggang sa muli." saad ng punong kawal at hinampas niya ng malakas sa ulo si Dahlia dahilan para mawalan ito ng malay at dinala paalis.

Sunod-sunod namang umalis ang mga kawal nila at kahit gusto ko silang sundan ay hindi ko magawa dahil nanghihina ang aking katawan.

"Give her back." sigaw ni Ivan at sinubukan nitong tumayo pero natumba lamang ito.

His eyes are glowing a dangerous blue and one thing I am sure of, he is in a verge of losing control.

Wala na ang mga kalaban at ang natira ay ang tatlong cyclops na dala nila. Patuloy nilang sinisira ang mga bahay. Dumating na rin ang tinawag naming tulong pero huli na dahil nakuha na nila ang isa sa kaibigan namin. I was worried kung ano ang gagawin ni Ivan pero nagulat ako ng makita ko siyang walang malay na nakahiga sa damuhan.

"He needs to rest." saad ni Jasper and I know that he is the reason why Ivan is unconscious.

"We have to take her back." saad ko.

"Yes but not now. We need to know what happened to the elemental stones." saad nito.

"Sky, can you carry him back?" tanong nito.

"I don't think so. My body loss almost all of its energy. Let the guards take him to his home." saad nito at inalalayan akong tumayo.

"Go back to the academy, Jasper. Inform them of what happened here. I'll bring Isa to their kingdom." saad nito at tumango lamang si Jasper.

"Dahlia" I heard him say even though he's unconscious.

"Rest and will take her back."
