Another Life As The Emperor's Concubine

Chapter 38

Mula sa aking kinatatayuan ay kitang-kita ko ang buong labanan. Napairap ako nang makitang malakas ang depensa at pag-atake ng hukbo ni Luther kaya nama'y nasa alanganin ang lagay ng aking pangkat. Not that I care though.

The battlefield became a river of blood. Pagdanak ng dugo, sigawan, at iyakan ang maririnig. Walang gustong magpatalo, walang gustong umatras.

Malumanay kong tiningnan ang pangkat ng mga rebelde, nanatili lamang ang mga ito sa kanilang puwesto at hindi gumawa ng kung anumang galaw. Just like me, they only watch how the battle between my troop and the emperor's unfold. Masusing nagmamanman.

"Look at your creation, I didn't expect that you're this much of a war maniac, my lady. The destruction that you've caused is just too admirable." A deep voice.

Naramdaman kong may pumantay sa aking pwesto, an inch away from me. At my peripheral vision, I could see how Sean also watched the bloody scene in front. Nakadantay ang kanyang dalawang kamay sa likod ng batok, still wearing his bored expression.

Napangiti naman ako sa sinabi nya. This fucking pervert really have a sweet tongue. Marunong gumamit ng mabulaklak na mga salita.

An idea popped on my head, I faced the King. "I wonder where's your troop, your majesty?" Pag-usisa ko rito.

"They're on their position somewhere, Amara. Wala naman akong planong isabak ang hukbo sa labanan. Because I already told you, labas na ang aking nasasakupan sa gulong napasukan ng Imperyo." He said with a straight face looking uninterested, as always.

Inisang hakbang ko ang pagitan naming dalawa. I looked at him deeply, I could see how the king gulped. I didn't break our eye contact resulting to him, being as red as a tomato. I chuckled.

Itinaas ko ang kamay upang abutin ang kanyang pisngi, my hand stayed there for a while. "Can I ask for a favor, my King?" My voice came out sweetly dahilan upang mas lalo pang matulala ang hari.

"Sure," tumikhim ito. "What is it?" He looked like he was already willing to do whatever it takes just to give me what I wanted. That's right, be my slave.

"Your troops, can I have them under my command?" I said in a begging manner, my voice was so soft that I almost can't recognize myself. Fucking cringe.

Napakurap ito, halatang nabigla sa aking sinabi. I could see the doubt dancing on his eyes kaya nama'y hinawakan ko ang kanyang mga kamay, before gently staring at him. "Please?" Dagdag ko.

Umigting ang panga bago marahas na napapikit. Tumalikod ito at may ginawang pagsenyas, one armoured man immediately came out of nowhere. Lumapit ito sa amin at yumukbo.

"Send the troops to attack the.." Lumingon ang hari sa akin, I mouthed the word "Rebels" immediately. ".. Rebels." Utos nito sa kanyang kawal.

The knight immediately obliged before running back to his former position. Mabilis pa sa alas kwatrong may nagsilabasang hindi mabilang na mga kawal. Dala-dala ang sari-sariling armas ay agad pumunta ang mga ito sa pwesto ng mga rebelde, na pinapamunuan ng prinsipeng si Drake.

Everyone are at fight with everyone. Walang nangyaring kampihan na mas nagpatindi sa hidwaan.

The Central Empire, South Palace, North Palace, and the Rebels are now at a war with each other. Malabong malaman kung sino ang magwawagi sa digmaang ito.

I could feel a pair of hands circling on my waist. "You do not belong here, Amara. A harsh, brutal, and dangerous is not your place. Come with me, ilalayo kita sa anumang kaguluhan. You will seat on my throne, pampered with things that you love. That's what you deserve, pakiusap, hindi ka nababagay sa larangan ng digmaan." He said devotedly.

I mentally scoff. Diyan sya nagkakamali, I was born to be at the middle of a battlefield, fighting, showing defiance, and stealing lives. I was born to be the reaper itself, conquering deaths and punishing the deads.

"Okay." I sweetly said, hinarap ko sya at ikinawit sa magkabilang balikat ang aking mga kamay. Napangiti naman ang hari sa aking sagot, it's as if he have been waiting for that exact response for his entire life. Ang mapapayag akong maging sa kanya.

Inabot ng isang kamay nya ang aking bewang. "About the incident on the fountain, I'm deeply sorry for that. I... I can't stop myself, I'm sorry, Amara. I didn't mean to harm you in any ways." Pagsusumamo nito, pumungay ang kanyang mga mata.

Muli naman akong napangiti. "I understand, don't think too much about it." Sagot ko.

We stared at each other for a while before I grab the initiative to pull him for a kiss. He was caught off-guard ngunit agaran rin namang tumugon sa aking mga halik.

"Amara," his voice turned raspy as I deepened the kiss. Napahigpit ang kapit nito sa aking batok.

And from the side of my inside cheeks, using my tongue, I pushed the pill to transfer it on him. He tried to pull out from our intense position ngunit mas nilaliman ko ang halik.

Nang marinig ang kanyang paglunok, indicating that he already intake the pill, I smiled between our kisses.

Matapos ay inilapit ko ang aking labi sa kanyang tainga. "Sleep well, my King."  Naguguluhang tumingin ito sa akin, and a second after that, bumigat ang talukap ng kanyang mga mata at sa mahinang tulak ko sa kanya ay agaran itong natumba.

Walang emosyon kong tiningnan ang nakatulog na hari. I cannot deny the fact that this man is a big catch, napakagwapong nilalang. He looked like a fallen angel when sleeping. Napailing na lang ako sa iniisip.

Tinalikuran ko ang lalaki, he's already of no use to me after all.

"Zera!" Tawag ko sa nakatago pa ring leyon, she walked towards me.

Muli kong inilibot ang paningin sa nagkakagulong paligid. I wore my dangerous expression before grabbing the sharpened wooden stick that I made. Mariin ko itong hinawakan bago nilingon ang naghihintay na leyon.

"This would be my biggest request for you, Zera. Tear every man at your sight. Wala kang papalampasin, kill those insects." The lion growled in response, as if agreeing on what I just said.

Mas napahigpit ang kapit ko sa matulis na kahoy. My eyes turned bloody, my heart started beating uncontrollably. Ramdam ko ang lamig na humahampas sa aking katawan dala ng hangin, the strands on my hair dances with a rhythm.

These humans will see how an assassin do its thing. And they will surely be buried sixth feet under before they could even know it.

The heavens thundered, thousands of rain drops fall profusely. Kasabay nang mapagparusang pagbuhos ng ulan ay ang matulin kong pagtakbo papunta sa kinaroroonan ng labanan. I could also here the lion's deadly roar behind me.
