AUDRESYNE
"Fuck! Baby, dahan-dahan naman..." daing ni Zarcaen habang ginagamot ko ang sugat niya. Sinadya ko talagang diinan ang paggagamot dahil kanina pa ako nainis sa kamay niyang nasa loob ng aking damit at nilalaro ang aking tiyan.
We are here inside his room. I already treated his wounds last night when we arrived at the palace from the battle, and he was unconscious at that time. Kaninang umaga ay nadatnan kong nagpupush-up kaya mas bumuka ang mga sugat niya.
Halos dagdagan ko na ang kaniyang sugat dahil sa inis.
"You're a fucking king but Litavis' weakling men still manage to ambush and kidnap you?" hindi makapaniwala kong tanong.
"Don't mention his name in front of me," mariing wika niya.
"Who? Litavis?"
"I have already warned you, Audresyne."
"Sino nga kasi? Is it King Litavis?" taas kilay kong tanong at nagpalit ulit ng cotton para linisin ang dugo sa likuran niya. I'm just teasing him, testing his patience.
"Isang salita mo pa sa pangalan niya, pangalan ko na ang sinisigaw mo habang hinihingal ka."
Saglit akong napakunot sa sinabi niya, pero nang ma-realize na may ibig itong ipahiwatig ay nanlaki ang aking mata.
I smacked his head. "Fuck you, Zarcaen!"
He just chuckled. "Higa ka muna," he said while still playing inside my t-shirt. Randam ko ang init ng kaniyang kamay. Pero kapag yang kamay niya pumunta sa taas, talagang mapuputol ko 'yan.
I never thought that this king has a fucking filthy mouth! Akala ko puro seryoso at malamig na aura lang ang bumabalot dito, kamanyakan rin pala! I should have known better the moment we made out inside his office.
"Sasagutin mo ang tanong ko o dagdagan ko ang sugat mo?"
He sighed. "I lost consciousness. May nagtapon ng lata mula sa labas ng bintana na sinasakyan ko at biglang may lumabas doon na usok. I tried to control myself not to fall asleep but I failed," tiim bagang niyang wika.
"And?"
"I just woke up when I felt like I was currently whipping, and I was right. Three of his men are whipping me on my back," malamig niyang wika.
May their presence be found among the three men who mercilessly thrashed Zarcaen, standing alongside those unfortunate souls whose heads met the edge of my blade.
"And the reason could be?" I asked as I changed to another cotton again to clean the dry blood on his back.
"Simple. He wants me to suffer," he answered without any emotions.
His answers are enough. I don't want him to answer me if he is not comfortable or he may feel like I am forcing him to answer my personal questions. I may be a queen in this kingdom but nothing will change the fact that I'm an intruder. Trust cannot be forced, but be earned instead.
"And— oh, what was that?"
Agad kong pinalo ang kamay niya nang masagi ang dibdib ko. May foam ang damit na sinusuot ko kaya hindi na ako nag-atubiling magsuot ng bra. Pero talagang demonyo 'yung kamay niya.
"That's off limit, stop it!" suway ko.
Ngunit kunot-noo niyang ibinalik ulit ang kamay sa loob at akmang kakapain ulit ang aking hinaharap na puno ng kuryusidad, pero dahil napipikon na ako ay malakas kong pinisil ang braso niyang naka-bandage.
He groaned and instantly removed his hand from my t-shirt.
"Bakit ba puro ka kamanyakan? You asked me to be your queen but you were acting like I'm your wife."
The role of a queen is traditionally to assist and support the king for the sake of the kingdom. But a wife's responsibility includes fulfilling the king's orders that involve emotions, personal matters, and even his needs! At wala 'yun sa usapan!
"Then, let's be king and queen with benefits- fuck!" daing ulit nito nang pisilin ko ang sugat niya.
"Tumahimik ka o ako ang magpatatahimik sa 'yo?" malamig kong tanong.
"I wanna choose the latter, but can you use your lips?"
"Isang salita mo pa Zarcaen, putok 'yang labi mo."
"Puwede naman akong magpaputok sa labi mo- fuck! That hurts! Namimihasa ka na, Audresyne. Kung hindi lang ako sugatan at puruhan ngayon, hindi lang sa labi mo ako magpaputok."
Inis ko siyang pinaghahampas kaya tudo sangga naman ito habang dumadaing at nagmumura. Iniwan ko na siya doon since tapos ko na ring linisin ang sugat niya. He called my name but I just ignored him before slamming his door. Halos mapalundag naman sa gulat ang tatlong penguins na parang mga chismoso.
Bagay ipangalan sa kanila yung cartoon character sa madagascar na penguins. Tamang-tama, their fourth member is their pervert king. Skipper, Rico, Kowalski, and Private. What a perfect lunatic squad.
"What are you doing here?" malamig kong tanong.
Napakamot ang mga ito sa ulo at nahihiyang nagkatinginan pa.
"M-may..."
"Don't waste my time. I hate waiting," wika ko at sumandal sa pintuan ng kuwarto ni Zarcaen.
"The whole kingslayers are asking for a favor, your majesty."
My brows arched. "A favor to?"
Napakamot si Corio ulo."A favor to improve their skills in the battle."
My lips parted as I heard their words. They want me to enhance their skills?
"Means... they want me to be their trainer?"
Sabay ang mga itong tumango at nahiya pa.
I smirked. "Are they sure? They should have thought twice about this."
"They saw how you fight, your majesty. They probably want to be as strong as you."
"How about you?" tanong ko sa kanila.
"K-kami rin po sana," nahihiyang wika naman ni Lucino na tinanguan nina Corio at Gabru.
Mas lalong lumawak ang ngisi ko.
You just asked a Mafia Queen to train you, now let's see if you can handle me.
"WHO told you to stop? Alalahanin niyong dalawang oras kayong tatakbo! Whoever I saw stopped from running will going to face the consequences!" I yelled strictly.
Kasalukuyan kong tinatanaw ang mga kingslayers archer na tumatakbo sa quadrangle, kasali rin sa training ang tatlong penguins. Dahil sa napakadami ng tauhan ay hinati ko na lang sila at binase sa grupo nina Thorgar, Thoram, at Tharod.
Tapos na ang grupo nina Thorgar at Thoram kanina sa endurance test at ngayon ay nagpapahinga na sa mapunong parte ng quadrangle. Somehow, okay naman ang kinalabasan. Mukhang sanay ang kanilang grupo at hindi madaling hingalin. Meanwhile, in Tharod's group, dito ako nahirapan dahil kalahating oras pa lang, hinihingal na. Kasali sa grupo ni Tharod si Gabru dahil doon nabibilang ang kaniyang skills.
Every group, they have 2 hours to run on the quadrangle.
"Your majesty! Wala ka bang awa sa kaguwapuhan ko?!" dinig kong sigaw ni Gabru pero inignora ko lang ito.
"ALL of you sit down!" pasigaw kong utos matapos tumakbo ang grupo nina Gabru. Kaagad na lumagpak ito sa damuhan kasali ang mga membrong hinihingal rin.
"Attention!" kaagad na umayos ng upo ang lahat sa aking sigaw. "I understand that all of you excel on the battlefield with your unique skills and abilities, which you wish to further enhance. However, in this training, we will not solely focus on skill improvement. I want you to master all types of combat. As part of our daily routine, we will engage in a two-hour run in the quadrangle! There should be no complaints if you wish to sharpen your abilities even more! It is a preparation to boost your resistance and ensure you don't run out of energy easily. Especially the archer group. Do you all understand?"
"Understood, your majesty!"
Napadako ang kanilang paningin sa aking likuran at wala pang isang segundo ay nakatayo na ang lahat at mabilis na yumukod.
"Your majesty, King Zarcaen."
I immediately felt his firm arms encircle my waist as he pulled me to his muscular body.
"You're probably the coolest queen I've ever known."
The side of my lips lifted."I was born to be a queen." I looked at him. "But I'm not just a queen with a title, I'm a queen who holds weapons."
Lumapit ang labi ko sa kaniyang tainga at marahan iyong kinagat, I make sure that no one saw that.
"I'm a Mafia Queen."
