"Look at me, My Lady."
Namamaos ang boses nito habang pilit hinuhuli ang mga mata ko. Matapos niyang gamutin ang pisngi ko ay hindi ko siya matignan.
Napabuntog-hininga ito saka marahang inangat ang kaliwang paa ko. Gulat akong napatingin sakanya.
Nakikiliti ako sa kamay niya.
"Y-you! What are you doing?" taranta kong tanong at pilit tinatanggal ang paa ko mula sa kamay niya.
"Stay still My Lady, I'm going to cure these wounds," saad nito habang ang mga tingin ay nasa paa ko.
Ramdam ko ang pamumula ng pisngi ko. This is not normal really.
Hindi ko alam ang nangyare kanina pero ang alam ko ay niligtas ako ni Ice, Ice the rabbit.
Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala, ang kunehong hinahalikan ko araw-araw ay isang tao. Paano kung pumayag akong lutuin siya kagaya ng sinabi ni Abel? Siguro nga ay may nagawa
"I love you.""You've been repeating it for about ten times Charlotte." "I love you very much.""Stop it.""Even if the world is ending I will still love you.""When will be the end of the world?"Napasimangot ako. After the Wizard told me about the Prophecy and so on. I tried pursuing myself to love this Man who doesn't even give a damn about me.He's been here since the wizard left and I've been telling him that I love him but he was just laughing about it. This idiot knows that I don't love him, mukhang mahihirap ako sa lagay na 'to."I love you my husband."Hiniga niya ako at hindi inintindi ang sinabi ko matapos ay binalot niya ng kumot ang buong kataw
Matapos ang ilang araw ay nabalitaan ko nalang na lumala na ang sakit ng Emperor, hirap na itong bumangon sa pagkakahiga at hirap nading makapagsalita.Hindi na rin ako binisita ni Kallisto dahil bukod sa sunod-sunod ang naging responsibilidad niya ay busy din siya sa paglalambing sa nobya niya.Wala naman akong karapatang harangan siya sa pakikipagkita kay Serenity, sa katunayan nga ay laging natutulog sa tabi niya si Kallisto dahil nga dinala niya ang nobya niya sa Lily Palace.I'm just busy trying to practice my heart on how to fall in love. I tried reading Romance books in the library but the thing is, those love stories are all tragic.I tried asking random servants about the news outside the palace but when they realize that I am Charlotte ay yumuyuko sila at tinatanggi na wala silang alam.Wala na akong magawa sa palasyo kaya narito ako ngayon sa Lily Palace
"Anobaaaaa! Anlake ng space mo, umusog ka pa anobaayaaan."Gigil ko siyang inatras nang mas lalo siyang lumapit sa 'kin.Matapos ang sagutan namin kanina ay pinakalma niya muna ako bago nagdesisyong matulog na at ngayon ay nasa iisang kama kami.Sa katunayan ay hindi ako pumayag at pilit siyang pinapalabas sa kwarto ngunit bigla nalang siyang nahiga sa tabi ko kaya umusog ako palayo.Kapag umuusog naman ako palayo sakanya ay uusog naman siya palapit sa 'kin hanggang sa wala nakong mausugan ay nainis nako.Pilit kong inaatras ang katawan niya at iritang tumitili sa tuwing naninigas ito upang hindi ko siya maiatras. Mas lalo lang akong naiinis dahil kunwari itong natutulog at hindi ako pinapakinggan."Tanginamoka atras!"Nagulat ako nang dinilat niya ang kanyang mga mata at sinalo ang mga kamay kong ginamit na pantulak sakanya, kunot
"I'm sorry...Itigil na natin ito Kali, hindi ko na kaya lahat ng mga natatanggap kong masasakit na salita at hindi kinakaya ng konsensya ko ang makitang nasasaktan si Lady Charlotte."Pilit na hinawakan ni Kallisto ang mga braso ni Serenity ngunit lumayo ito at umiling-iling."Palayain mo na ako Kali, hirap na hirap na si Papa sa mga salitang pinaparatang sakanya dahil sa 'kin."Ang lumuluhang mga mata ng babaeng nasa harap niya ay pilit niyang inaabot ngunit paatras ito ng paatras na tila ba ayaw nitong dumapo ang kahit daliri niya sa katawan nito.Nasaktan siya sa pag-iwas nito. After their confrontation between him and Charlotte ay plano niyang gawing first lady si Serenity ngunit hindi niya inaasahan na magiging ganito ang usapan nila."We've come this far Seren, don't make me lose you because my life would be nothing without you."She didn't li
"I need to know, what happened when I died?"Hinubad ko ang suot kong sandalyas at pilit na hinahabol ang mabilis na paglalakad ni Kallisto. Matapos ang okasyon ay bigla nalang umasim ang mood niya at bumalik sa pagiging suplado.Nung nakita ko si Abel ay gusto ko itong kausapin ngunit hindi ako pinayagan ni Kallisto. Andami kong katanungan at kahit isa ay hindi niya manlang nabigyan ng sagot."I won't be angry I promise! Just tell me what happened."Napadaing ako nang bumangga ako sa likod niya, huminto pala ito at humarap sa 'kin. May kung ano sa mga mata niya na hindi ko maintindihan, bumuntog-hininga ito at pinisil ang pisngi ko."I'll tell you after tomorrow, we're going to attend a meeting with the aristocrats. So save your questions and I will answer it all.""Isdwat a pwamwes."He chuckled and let go of my cheeks, "Yes, a pr
Sa isang madilim na seldang tanging ang kandila lamang ang nagbibigay ng ilaw ay nakakulong ang babaeng pilit binubulong sa sarili na hindi niya kasalanan. Her body was full of wounds and just waiting for her death, whispering repeatedly that 'it wasn't her fault' but no one was there to listen her. Kagat-kagat ang sirang mga kuko habang nakaupo sa gilid ng seldang pinaglalagyan niya. Nang kumalma ito ay napatayo siya at lumapit sa rehas at kinalampag. She needs to get out from the prison before something bad will happen, she was framed of course. "Palabasin niyo ako dito!" Pilit niyang kinakalampag ang rehas hanggang sa makarinig siya ng yapak papunta sa kinalalagyan niya. She saw a man with a back cloak, she knows who that person is. "Leonardo?" Nakita niya
"Eyes on me Charlotte, you're looking at him like you are planning to divorce with me."Nakangiwing inismiran ko siya dahil sa narinig.After arriving at the meeting hall where they usually meet with his disciples, my eyes roamed around and examined the whole place before glancing at the disciples's direction.My eyes found an unfamiliar man yet I can feel that our eyes just met. I know that it was him, Leonardo Greager."I'm just amaze knowing that they are all your disciples," palusot ko."I don't think so, are you really cheating in front of me? Stop looking at him."Tinakpan niya ang mga mata ko at hinila patago sa likod niya. Napabuga ako ng hangin dahil sa reklamo niya na para bang ako pa ang cheater, kung tutuusin nga ay dapat ako ang nagrereklamo.Parehong kamay ang pinanghawak niya kay Serenity at ang kamay na nakahawak sa
Kallisto and I decided to go together to the Temple. Actually, I was not on the list of his plan going to the temple so I tried pursuing him until he said yes.The temple wasn't a friendly one. Nang makarating kasi kami sa templo ay bumagsak ang tingin nila saakin na animoy isang kriminal.They let us in but I know, their gazes on me were dangerous. Those servants of God might know something, maybe I can find some clues here too.Sinabi ni Kallisto na hintayin ko siya at iniwan ako sa gazebo malapit sa chapel kung saan nagsisindi sila ng kandila upang magdasal. I kinda feel weird when I entered the Temple, it's suffocating me."Greetings Your Majesty, the Blessed Empress of the Corceigea."Nabaling ang tingin ko sa kakarating lang na Pari, the Priest looks young enough but his eyes is rather seeing me like a cat sitting in front of a standing tiger.
"Sister, can we play at the backyard?" Napahinto sa pagtitipi ng mga damit ang madre nang mapansin ang dalawang bata sakanyang gilid. "Why? Hindi na ba kayo nasisiyahan sa mga laroan na binigay ko?" nakakunot noong tanong niya sa dalawang bata. Nagtinginan ang dalawa bago sabay na sumagot. "That child... is weird." Sabay nilang itinuro ang direksyon na batang babae na nakaupo sa sahig habang nakatulala. "Kanina pa namin siya inaaya na makipaglaro saamin pero hindi niya kami pinapansin, kanina pa siya tulala."Napatingin ang madre sa direksyon ng batang babae bago ibinalik ang tingin sa dalawang bata. "O siya, sige. Sa likod muna kayo maglaro, ngunit huwag kayong magtatagal ha? Maya-maya'y maghahapunan na tayo."Tumango ang dalawa bago tumakbo palabas ng kumbento. Inilapag ng madre ang kanyang tinupi na damit bago marahang lumapit sa batang babae. Pinagmasdan niya muna ito bago nagdesisyong haplusin ang mahaba nitong buhok upang maagaw ang atensyon ng bata ngunit hindi pa rin ito g
Matapos ang insidenteng naganap sa lawa ay kumalat agad ang balitang pumanaw na ang Emperatris dahil sa pagkalunod sa lawa. It was a sudden news that even the Emperor doesn't know what to do anymore. Tila nagbago ang ihip ng hangin na ang dating matiwasay na palasyo ay naging malamig na.Sa kabila ng mga pangyayare ay nanatiling tahimik si Charlotte, pilit nagbibingi-bingihan sa mga boses na bumabagabag sakanya. Pilit ginigising ang nakaraang kanyang tinakbuhan, pilit siyang hinihila pabalik sakanyang kasalanan.The death of the Empress was her fault to begin with ngunit walang nangahas na mag imbestiga sa pangyayare dahil pinagtakpan ito ng kanyang ama.Charlotte was last seen with the Empress, the news of her death will be a troublesome to the Laurier that is why... the Duke paid the servants to silence them and ordered them to leave the capital."Charlotte?"She heard a knock from the door that made her open her eyes from
"The Crown Princess will now enter."Agad binuksan ang eleganteng pintuan upang bigyang daan si Charlotte na ngayo'y ipinagdiriwang ang kanyang 11th birthday sa loob mismo ng palasyo.Pagkapasok niya ay agad na bumaling ang mga mga mata sakanya. Their eyes surveyed the child with curiously and amazement. Mula sa kumikinang na tiara pababa sa mahaba nitong suot na pulang gown.Hindi maitatanggi na napakaganda nito kahit nasa edad labing-isa pa lamang.Taas noo niyang nilakad ang red carpet at hindi nililingon ang mga taong nakapaligid sakanya. She didn't feel anything despite the attention that was given to her, she felt the emptiness inside her upon realizing that her birthday is not for her to celebrate but for the nobles to start a negotiations.Her birthday is nothing but business. She knows it very well, that is why she will never be grateful of the things that was given to her."Happy Birthday, young
~~Note before reading ahead~~I am sure that all of you will be confused with how the past is going and some changes of the story. These are just partial events that happened in the novel "Happy ever after" which is the past of Charlotte as the Villainess.So even if the content or sentence aren't connected to the story, or a lot of punctuation marks are mistakenly put, please bare with me because I am not that good at narrating in Tagalog.Basically, all the side stories are written in third person's pov.This is the first Side story which is from the novel "Happy Ever After". So Charlotte, as a Villainess will be a bit different since it's the original story. Y'all get to see the real reason why she's the Villainess of the novel.If you want to understand it more, I suggest to continue reading until the end.Thank you, and enjoy!~~Sa Kaharian ng Corceigea ay may kanya-kanyang estado ng bu

I was walking in the path to the river when I saw a little boy standing in front of it, he looks like he's crying. Did he perhaps lost his toy in that river?I hid myself in the tree and observe him, his hair was golden and it was shining due to the light of the sun.I can't really see his face but I'm much taller than him, I can see that he's a royalty because of his white suit.He stepped his feet forward and I was shocked when he jumped in the river, I didn't know what to do.I'm afraid of people, I don't know how can I save him.He's drowning...Someone please help him!Nabitawan ko ang manikang hawak ko at napatakbo papunta sa ilog, I can still see his hands trying to lift his body up from the water.I don't know how to swim, but I think I can still save him.I jumped on the river and held his hands, in the deep water whe
~Coming-of-age ceremony of Charlotte.~"Please don't do this to me, I've love you for years...why did you choose someone like her? Can she save the world? Can she give you the freedom you wanted? I have always been here, waiting for you... ""I never wanted your love," he was looking at me with disgust in his eyes.I know that I am nowhere to be found in his heart, that I am only an emerald to fulfill what was destined-to save him and to save the corceigea."Don't let me repeat myself Charlotte, don't use your body for me to love you... I will never love someone like you."I felt the pang of pain from my chest when I heard his words, I wanted at least in just a minute I can have him... Even just for seconds, it's fine.But God didn't want me to be happy, because I am only a mere sacrifice to save everyone.Naiwan ako sa mal
"Young man, you must be on drug for thinking that you can marry a three-year old kid, hindi pa nireregla ay gusto mo nang maikama."Sinamaan ko ito ng tingin kaya napahalakhak ito, I didn't know that he was here too.My father in the past and now a stranger to me. I told him to help me find Charlotte and yet he told me those jokes that's why I'm getting pissed with this old man."Just find her old man, I want to see her." I said giving him a glare.Mas lalo lamang tong napahalakhak dahil sa inasal ko, tila hindi ito makapaniwala na nasa harap niya ang anak niya sa nakaraan."What's your name again?" he asked that made me glare him again, he's trying to tease me."Fuck you old man," he giggled and pinched my cheeks kaya mas lalo kong sinamaan ang tingin sakanya."How dare you, I will adopt her and will let her marry another man you u
Bagot na bagot ako habang nakatingin sa bintana ng sasakyan, malakas ang ulan kaya mas naeenjoy ko ang moment ng pagdadrama ko.Nakalabas na ako ng ospital pero nanatili ang benda sa ulo ko kaya nagmumukha akong may cancer."they don't know about the things we do, they don't know about the I love you's~" rinig kong pagkanta ni Kenshiro habang nagdadrive.Nasa backseat ako kaya solo ko ang moments ko, gusto ko magdrama dahil dideretso kami sa hacienda ng mga Alfonso kung saan nanatili ang panganay nila.Ang sabi ay gusto daw ako kamustahin pero ako pa talaga ang pupunta sakanya, doon palang ay naturn off na ako! Napaka ungentleman! Akala mo siya yung nasagasaan pero ako pa talaga nag-effort para makapunta sakanya, I mean oonga hindi ako nagdadrive pero tangina pasyente ako! Ako dapat ang bibisitahin! Useless lahat ng librong binasa ko, kabaliktaran ang mga nangyayare s
