2021-10-23 05:29:55Napalunok si Calix ng lumapit sa salamin si Emy.
He and Sebastian had been watching them from the two way mirror ever since they entered that room.
Pero nang lumapit si Emy sa salamin at tanggalin nito ang sumbrero nito, he couldn't help but to feel as if they were doing something indecent.
Emy started to remove her bun and that freed her long and beautiful hair.
"Turn around." Sebastian told him.
Nangunot ang noo niya dahil doon pero tiningnan siya ng binata.
"I said turn around."
He obediently did as he was commanded. Though, hindi niya napigilan na makaramdam ng dismaya.
However, Sebastian fixed his eyes on the woman in front of him.
He watched as she moved her hands on her own hair to fix it. He watched as she looked satisfied as she placed her hat back. And how she traced her own reflection on the mirror.
And when she smirked, kasabay niya din itong ngumisi. If the mirror was not between them, one could say that they were smirking back at each other.
Napailing na lang si Sebastian. Emy was really intelligent.
Hindi nawala ang ngiti niya hanggang sa sinabi na ng dalaga ang pakay niya kay Alessandra.
"Your betrayal back then in exchange of your betrayal now."
Napatingin muli si Calix sa may salamin but Emy was already walking towards Alessandra. Then she stopped and faced her.
"I want to know everything about her. Lahat ng alam mo tungkol sa kanya, her pasts, her plans... everything. You have to tell me all of those. Otherwise, hindi ako mangingiming sabihin kay Agatha ang mga nalalaman ko tungkol sayo."
At first ay kinabahan siya. But she stared at the girl in front of her, she realized that she couldn’t be as bad as she was trying to act out. Kumpara sa mga nagawa na niya ay malamang sa malamang walang wala ang babaeng ito.
She smirked at her. "And do you really think I will be afraid of you?"
Ginantihan siya ni Emy nga ngiti. "Well, you should. After all, I killed those seven students under your team and bombed the headquarters of your beloved Black Council."
This time, tinablan na talaga ng takot si Alessandra.
The Black Council was untouchable. Until someone started to kill their members. Even with what they had done yesterday, marami sa kanila ang nahuli and their families were not spared.
Maging sa mga tauhan ni Prince Vio ay marami rin ang nahuli. Pero nagawan ni Prince Vio ng paraan para mailigtas sila.
"S-so it was you..."
"I am. Sinabi ko naman sayo, I know everything. But I need to know the plans of Diana as soon as possible.
"And whether you like it or not, you will do it for me. You will give me the information I need in order for me to spare your sister's life."
Saka umayos ng tayo si Emy.
"I expect your first news as soon as possible. Just send it to Purple Boutique and say that it is for Emy Hans."
Sinenyasan niya ang mga kasama saka sila lumabas na ng kwarto.
***
Paglabas nila ng kwarto ay tumigil si Emy sa pintuan nung katabi ng pinanggalingan nila.
Sinenyasan niya ang mga kasama na wag mag-ingay at maghintay lang doon.
Hindi rin naman nagtagal ay lumabas na mula roon ang hinihintay niya.
Calix was surprised but not the Fifth Prince.
"As expected, you must have figured out about the two way mirror when you approached it." The Fifth Prince said with a smirk.
"As expected, you surely enjoy meddling with my business, your highness."
Sebastian laughed.
"Why won't I?" Then he walked towards her and closed the distance between their faces. But Emy didn't flinch. Nakipagtitigan pa nga ito sa kanya eh. "You are the most interesting person I have ever met. Just continue doing it."
He even tapped her soft cheeks bago umayos ng tayo at iwan sila roon.
Naikuyom naman ni Emy ang palad niya. That Prince annoyed her soooo much!
She irritatingly made her way to the exit at sumunod naman sa kanya ang mga kasama niya.
Napataas ng kilay niya si Anika habang nagkatinginan naman sila Lia at Veronica. They had seen that Emy's expression before at yun yung huling beses na nanggaling sila sa Purple Boutique.

Emy was undeniably tired lately. She had been encountering same people in the morning and at night.Sa umaga, it was Diana. She continuously attacked the students of Black Council. Syempre, dali dali naman siyang naglalagay ng puting maskara niya and helped those students na hindi kayang idefend ang sarili nila.One time nga ay nainjured na siya but luckily, those students who could do martial arts helped her fight Diana's people.And what's more, suddenly, there were White cloaked people fighting with her. She could easily guessed that it was Prince Sebastian's people.

Diana was not pleased lately sa itinatakbo ng mga pangyayari between the Black Council and that White Queen.She could not take it. It was like having Samantha back. She remembered back then that it was the lady whom people called first as the White Queen.The foolish girl opposed the Black Council even during her very own regime. When Diana exposed her, akala niya ay siya agad ang papalit dito. But that Marco got in her way.She smiled bitterly as she remembered how she killed both of them. Yes. She had once killed a White Queen before. How could she not kill a second one now?But she couldn’t move freely at the moment. The people were still after them. In Grey Academy, the priority was to caught as many members of the council as they could kahit pa nga may secret decree ang Emperor to catch that White Queen.Natuto na ring lumaban ang ilang estudyante sa kanila.

Gaya ng sabi sa kanya ng tauhan ni Alessandra, Lucy was spending her lunch break with Emy.Diana watched as the two of them went out of campus and rode a carriage. But it wasn't just her who was looking at then.Kelly snorted in annoyance habang si Cherry naman ay napailing na lang."You both seem annoyed at them.""Just with that Emy." Kelly said."She's unbelievable, you know. Palagi niya kaming pinapahiya sa classroom." Sabi naman ni Cherry."Really?"A sudden idea popped in Kelly's mind. "Yes. At alam mo bang ipinagmamayabang niya na natalo ka niya sa chess. The nerve of that girl!"Cherry smirked at her sister.However, Diana was not an idiot. She knew na idinagdag lang iyon ni Kelly. And she also knew that these two were probably picking Emy in their classes at dahil hindi naman mukhang tang

Bumalik sa Grey Academy na humahangos si Lucy. Pumara siya ng ibang mga carriage at mabuti na lamang dahil ang napara niya ay kakilala ng Papa niya. Nakisakay siya at saka nagpababa sa Grey Academy. Sila Veronica at Anika naman ay nagpaiwan sa bayan para maghanap. Well, actually, Veronica went first to Purple Boutique to notify Calix. Si Lucy naman ay humahangos na hinanap si Franco. Hindi naman siya nahirapan dahil agad niya itong nasalubong sa may entrance ng Academy. "F-franco!" Hinihingal niyang tawag dito. Agad namang tumigil sa paglalakad ang binata saka lumingon. Tinukso pa nga siya ng mga kaibigan niya bago siya iwan doon eh. Napailing na lang siya saka nilapitan ang dalaga. Agad naman siyang hinigit ni Lucy para makapunta sila sa may malapit sa may gate ng school. Napatingin na lang siya sa kamay nito na nakahawak s

Mabilis na kumalat ang balita sa buong Grey City na nakidnap ang pamangkin ni General Hans.Nagpakalat na ng army niya ito sa buong syudad at ganun rin ang iba pa niyang mga kaibigan upang tumulong sa paghahanap. He also asked the Emperor if they could watch the exits para masigurado na walang makakalabas ng basta basta.Agad namang pumayag ang Emperor.All of these happened ng wala pang 24 hours.Actually, Sebastian also deployed his own people. It was not like matatahimik lang siya sa paghihintay.This was exactly what Emy was being scared off, though. This kind of publicity. She wanted to live ordinarily once na makatakas siya sa kamay ng mga kidnapper niya. That way, she could easily seek revenge.But because of this, people would have their eyes on her for quite sometime.Well, narinig kasi niya ang usapan ng magkapatid kaya nalaman

But up until now, hindi pa rin nila ito nakikita.Even Shin and his family ay mabilis na nagpunta ng Grey City ng malaman nila ang nangyari kay Emy. Poor girl! All her life puro misfortunes na lang ang nararanasan niya. From her mother's death up to her kidnapping.Even Shantal could not say if she would feel pity or be amazed dahil sa mga nangyayari kay Emy.

Madaling araw na nakauwi si Serafina mula sa pagbisita sa puntod ng kaibigan niya. Sa bundok pa kasi ito nakalibing kaya naman inabot siya ng ganitong oras.Inaasahan niyang tulog na ang mga tao sa residence nila kaya hindi niya ineexpect na sa pagbukas niya ng pintuan ay mabubungaran niya ang anak na may kasamang babae sa salas nila.The room was dimlighted dahil lampara lang ang ginamit ni Sebastian pang-ilaw sa kanila."Ma, saan ka galing? I thought you were already sleeping." Tanong sa kanya ni Sebastian when he stood.Then he looked at the girl beside him na hirap na tumayo. Agad niyang inalalayan ito."You don't have to stand.""I have to greet your mother." Then she faced Serafina na napasinghap when she recognized her."Oh, it is you again." Dali dali siyang nilapitan ni Serafina. At doon lang nito natingnan ng maayos ang itsura ng dalaga. "And you are wounded again.""I am sorry to intrude, Madam.""No, no. You

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

"Yah, Emerald Hans... I can't believe na nakalimutan mo na agad na may pinsan ka at tinanggap mo ang offer ni Haow na magturo sayo ng archery at horseback riding." Puno ng pagtatampo na sabi ni Franco when they arrived at sabihin sa kanya ni Francis ang nangyari.Sa dinami rami ng ama sa kanya ay iyon lamang ang tumatak sa isipan niya."He offered first." Emy said nonchalantly."Of course, siya lang ang nandito eh. You should have think about me first bago ka sumagot."Hindi naman mapakali si Haow ng makita niyang nagkakatampuhan ang magpinsan dahil sa pag-offer niya ng tulong kay Emy. He was bound between taking back his offer and keeping them. In actuality, he really wanted to teach Emy for his own personal reason."Para kang bata, Franco." Sabi ni Lie Chen. Sinamaan siya agad ng tingin ni Franco. Then nilapitan niya si Haow at pinaningkitan ng mga mata. Singkit na nga siya ay

After lunch, pinayagan na sila na maglakad lakad sa kung saan nila gustuhin.Dahil malapit lang naman ang market doon, Shantal, Sabrina and Sammy, along with Franco and friends, decided to go there.Pinaiwanan naman ni Feng si Emy dahil baka mapagod ito ng husto at sumama na naman ang pakiramdam. Hindi na naman siya nagreklamo at doon na lang sa training ground naglakad lakad.Walang masyadong tao pero yung mangilan ngilan na naroroon ay kanya kanyang pagsasanay ang ginagawa.The training ground was too big that they divided it into three. At the left most part of it was for those who were practicing archery. The one in the middle were for those into martial arts. And the last side was for sword fighters."Do you mind if I accompany you?" Someone asked her suddenly. She was busy looking at the archers na hindi na niya namalayan na may nakalapit na pala sa kanya.

The next day, maayos na ang pakiramdam ni Emy. They told her that the rest of their travel ay natulog lang siya habang pinagpapawisan ng marami and muttering incoherently. And when they arrived at night, hindi siya magising kaya naman they decided to just bring her in the room. Feng almost put an all-nighter though. She was extremely worried about her at kung hindi pa umayos ang lagay niya around midnight ay baka nagpatawag na ito ng manggagamot. Emy was grateful. Anyway, she also found out na ang bahay na tinutuluyan nila ngayon ay ang ancestray residence nila Lie Feng. Malaki ito at malawak pero sa normal na araw ay tanging si General Lie Zhang, papa ni Lie Feng, at ang isa pang apo nito na si Lie Chen lamang ang naroroon. Kaya madalas ay mas pinipili na lamang nila na sa barracks tumuloy. Gaya na lang ngayon. "We have to visit the house of the Chief bilang pagbigay galang. Kaya mo bang makasama, Emy?" Tanong ni Francis. "Yes, Uncle.
