23: That Smell
Last Updated:
2021-10-20 02:12:37Nagstay pa ng ilang araw si Grace para maituro ang mga dapat niyang ituro kay Anika. Gusto niyang masigurado na sa pag-alis niya ay may gagawa pa rin sa ng mga gawain niya para kay Emy.
Mabilis namang matuto si Anika kaya kampante siya dito.
Hanggang sa dumating na ang panahon ng pag-alis niya. Ikinalungkot ito nang tatlo pero wala naman silang magagawa. They could just hope that she found new life in Royal City.

The next day...
Dahil wala namang pasok ay nagpaalam na si Emy na maglilibot libot sa bayan. Pinayagan naman siya ni Feng. Mabuti na lang at wala sila Franco dahil malamang ay mangungulit iyon na sumama.
Sinama niya sila Lia at Veronica dahil busy si Anika sa pag-aaral nung make-up guide na ginawa ni Grace bago umalis.
However, hindi sila magpupunta sa bayan para mamasyal. They would visit the Purple Boutique.
"Young lady!" Gulat na sabi ni Harley ng makita niya ang dalaga na pumasok sa boutique kasunod sila Lia at Veronica.
It had been a while since she saw Emy pero madalas naman niyang pinapapunta roon sila Lia at Veronica.
"I need to see Calix."
Unlike noong una ay inaya niya na agad sa loob ang dalaga. Sakto namang nandoon si Calix.
Actually, kausap nito si Sebastian. But they heard people coming their way kaya agad na nagpunta sa likuran wooden screen ang binata.
"Young lady..." Bati ni Calix sa kanya.
Napakunot ang noo ni Emy pagpasok pa lang ng tanggapan ng mga bisita ni Calix. What was that smell?
"Any problem?"
Umiling siya saka naupo doon sa bakanteng upuan. Ganun din naman ang ginawa ni Calix.
"I believe the reason you are here is because of that girl."
Emy smiled. "Yes. I heard you are able to locate her."
"Yes, young lady. She also agreed to work in here. I am just preparing her transfer, anytime now."
"Perfect. She's essential in my next plan so I need her to be in my territory as soon as possible."
"I understand. I'll have the task done immediately."
"Oh, and also, I'd like you to give me one of your men who is very skilled in martial arts and spying. I have to send away one of my maidservants and now I need someone else to replace her. I don't need a maid though."
"I will arrange for that. Probably tonight, I will make sure that he is already blended among your guards."
Emy nodded.
"Is there anything else?"
Hindi sumagot si Emy. Her brow creased again.
But suddenly she stood up. Sa pag-aakalang aalis na ang dalaga ay agad din na tumayo si Calix. But to his surprised, the lady walked towards him. Too close that he almost got disoriented for a moment.
"W-what..."
Pero bago pa man siya makapagtanong dito ay nakalayo na ito sa kanya.
"That's not you. Then could it be..." Emy looked around the room. Then her eyes landed on the wooden screen. She approached it.
"Young lady..." Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Calix but he was already late.
Emy moved the wooden screen to see behind it. She was indeed shocked when she saw Sebastian there.
"Hi..."
Sebastian could have moved and hid himself ng mapansin niya na lumalapit sa direksyon niya si Emy pero hindi niya iyon ginawa.
"You..."
Naikuyom ni Emy ang kamay niya. The Fifth Prince was here. It means, Calix had been betraying her for a long time now.
She gritted her teeth and calmed herself. As much as she wanted to punch the face of this prince in front of her, pinigilan niya ang sarili niya. She had to confirm something first.
Nilapitan niya ng husto ang lalaki at inamoy ito.
Sebastian was stunned for a moment saka tumawa.
"What, are you a dog now?"
Emy glared at him saka humakbang ng isa palayo sa binata.
"That night when I took the White Mask... It was you, right?"
Nawala ang ngiti ni Sebastian.
"How did you know that?"
Then he realized na kaya siya nito inamoy ay para dito.
"Just by smelling me, huh? You must have a very sensitive nose."
Pero tinalikuran na siya ng babae.
"Young lady..." Gusto sanang mag-explain ni Calix but he already received a punch from her.
"Ooops."
Calix and Sebastian both watched her back as she exited the room.
"What a hot headed lady..." Sabi ni Sebastian bago napatingin kay Calix. His nose was bleeding. "Minsan din kasi, kailangan mo munang pahupain ang galit ng mga babae bago ka mag-explain. Tch... Poor you. Go on and clean yourself bago tayo magpatuloy sa pag-uusap."
Napahinga na lang ng malalim si Calix. This prince was really something. That punch was supposed to be for him. Nakita na kasi niyang galit na si Emy ay mas lalo pang inasar. Siya tuloy ang napagbalingan.
***
Emy was very furious. Never in her life na nakaranas siya ng ganitong pakiramdam. Not even Diana had made her this mad.
Ramdam niya ang pamumula ng mukha niya at kanina pa rin nakakuyom ng mahigpit ang mga kamao niya. How dare that Prince?
Though hindi alam ni Emy kung anong mas nakapagpagalit sa kanya. Yun bang pag-infiltrate ni Sebastian sa Purple Boutique niya o ang katotohanang ito ang nagligtas ng buhay niya?
She hated both reasons. At mas lalo lang siyang naiinis kapag naiisip niyang nalamangan siya ng binata sa pagiging pakialamero nito.
Bukod pa doon, she couldn’t even reject the fact that he touched her body. Malamang, how could he treat her wounds kung hindi niya iyon gagawin. But still...
Tahimik namang nagtitinginan sila Lia at Veronica. Paglabas pa lang ng Miss nila doon sa pinakaloob na kwarto ay galit na ang expression nito. What could possibly happen in there? Never pa kasi nilang nakitang nagalit ng ganito ang Miss nila.

Hanggang pag-uwi ni Emy ay iniisip niya si Haow. Although their training went smoothly after that sudden stop, hindi nawala sa isipan niya ang tanong nito sa kanya."Do you believe in reincarnation, Emy?"Of all the people, siya ang buhay na patotoo ng reincarnation. She died and her soul took over the soul of another lady. And she had been living as her ever since.Kahit siya ay nasanay na rin. She used to be aware kapag tinatawag siya as Emy because if not, hindi talaga siya lilingon. But now, everything that was all about Emy became hers completely.But she really wondered why Haow ask that to her?Naputol lang ang iniisip niya when Lia appeared and told her na natapos na ang lahat ng armor na pinagawa niya."Distribute those for Liu Fu and Choi Kang. As for the others, keep it somewhere safe first. I need to find away to give it to the others without rais

The same week na natapos ni Emy ang eksperimento niya, Franco also finally let her start practicing horse riding.Though kailangan pa rin naman niyang magpractice para mamaster niya ang archery, most of her time would be occupied now by her training with Haow.Somehow, she was excited. She had read a lot of books about it of course. But it was not enough. Sa lahat ng aaralin niya eto lang yung may living thing na kasama kaya naman nakakasigurado siya that it would be unpredictable.Today would mark her first day of training. Haow told her to meet him after class. Kaya naman saktong pagpatak ng uwian ay dali dali siyang lumabas ng malaking gate ng Ming Province.In normal days gaya ngayon, everyone was free to go outside. Kaya naman, Emy didn't have to get any permission to do so.She went directly on the hills kung saan sila magkikita ni Haow.Hindi rin naman

One month later...Emy and Franco continued their Level Three in Ming Academy. Tatlong linggo na rin magmula ng magresume ulit ang klase and they only had two more months para sa pinakahuling pagsusulit ng taon.Most of the students were busy now sa pag-aaral. Emy, on the other hand, met with Liu Fu and Choi Kang to plan their next mountain trip.Sa totoo lang, ayaw ng sumama ni Choi Kang. But Emy tempted him with an offer na hindi niya kayang tanggihan. She gave Liu Fu and him free armors and promised to give the rest of it once they finished doing what she wanted them to do.It was really not a bad offer. In fact, nasubukan na nila Liu Fu at Choi Kang ang tibay ng armor ni Emy. It was high class and one of a kind.They didn’t know where she got them but surely, because of it, they were willing to do any favor from her."Let's go over the mountain next
A Queen's Revenge 1: A Peerless Genius from Two Cities 51: The Mountain
This was the first time na aakyat si Emy ng bundok. Hindi naman kataasan iyon so they might not take a while before they reached that area where Liu Fu and Choi Kang found that water they used for their magic trick.Anyway, along the way, she could tell na dahil hindi pa naeexplore ng husto ang bundok na iyon. She could already imagine lots of wonders hiding there. And just a mere thought of it was enough to make her eyes shine.She wanted to discover them all. But for now, her focus was that water.Hindi naman siya nagmamadali. She had more than a year to discover most of it if not all. And with that, her lips hooked up like an excited child.Liu Fu and Choi Kang were telling her about the important things about that mountain. Gaya na lang nang madadaanan nila ang isang area na may entrance ng cave. They also told her na may waterfall din na itinatago ang bundok at sa likuran ng waterfall na iyon ay nagtatago ang isang underground cav

Days passed quickly. Shin's family officially ended their winter vacation at bumalik na sila sa Royal City para sa pasukan nila Shantal.Bukod pa doon, Emy had been busy doing various things.Una, most of her time were occupied sa training nila ni Franco ng archery. Like when she was learning the swordfighting, she dedicated a lot of time sa pag-aaral ng archery at paggamit noon sa practice nila. She was still about to master it but her progress was already quite impressive.Sa gabi naman na hindi siya nagpapractice, inilalaan niya ang oras niya para sa pag-alala sa mga alaala ni Emy at sinusubukan niyang isulat ang lahat ng iyon sa mga notebooks niya. Most of tgise things she could remember were under chemistry, ang pinakapaborito ni Emy. But her entries under the other topics were not that bad too.And to see how effective they were, she started deploying Lia and Veronica to do tasks for her.

The next days had been very busy for Emy and the rest of the Hans. They roamed around the Ming Province na nagawa agad nila sa loob ng isang araw dahil maliit lang naman ang lugar na ito.They had visited the plaza kung saan ginaganap lahat ng competition na maiisipan ng mga tagaMing na ipaganap. Nagpunta rin sila sa Barracks at sa Ming Academy kung saan sila magpapatuloy ng pag-aaral nila ni Franco ngayong pasukan.Malaki ang kaibahan ng curriculum ng Ming at Grey. Kung sa Grey ay required ang mga estudyante na umattend araw araw ng mga klase nila, sa Ming ay hindi. As long as makikita sila ng propesor nila sa Training Ground o sa iba pang departamento na nagsasanay kapag biglaan itong nag-inspeksyon ay ayos lang na hindi sila umattend ng klase nila.Kaya karamihan ay nasa mga kani-kanilang departamento na pinagkakadalubhasaan kapag may klase kesa sa loob ng classroom.Isa pang kailangan sa Ming Aca
