Chapter 3

Buhat ni Abel ang kapatid nang maabutan si Kallisto, the cold gaze from the man that Serenity loves makes him envious.

Bumaba ang tingin ni Kallisto sa babaeng nawalan ng malay, he was going to ask about the commotion that Charlotte did. In his point of view it was just a plain actions to seek attention from him.

But seeing the woman he hates being carried by its brother is a surprised.

Abel didn't give a word and just walk silently carrying his sister. He knows that the Crown Prince hates Charlotte and he hates her too.

Pero nang umiyak sa mismong harapan niya ang kapatid niya bumalik sa alaala niya ang mga panahong tanging siya Lang ang kakampi ni Charlotte, when Charlotte was always crying because of loneliness, wounds, and even when she was hungry she would asked him to get her favorite food.

When she cried, she was asking to be free and then he realized maybe...just maybe she needs him again.

"To the Mansion."

The knight was confused but he didn't asked.

Pinahid niya ang mga luhang natira sa mukha nito at marahang hinaplos ang mukha nito. Huling pagpunas niya sa mukha nito ay ang araw bago malaman ni Charlotte na aalis siya para mag-aral.

That day he became cold in order for Charlotte to be strong but sadly Charlotte started to do things he hates.

If only she didn't fell in love with the Crown Prince and remain a fragile sister to her, baka naligtas niya pa ang kapatid niya.

Alam niyang may kinalaman sa Arson case si Charlotte, he knows that Charlotte is trying to burn Serenity alive but the Crown Prince saved Serenity and that was the time he announced that he's in love with Serenity.

He felt pity and his pity turns to anger, umabot sa punto na gusto niya nalang mawala ang kapatid dahil sa mga ginawa ni Charlotte.

He didn't realize that everytime Charlotte makes a ruckus, the more she needs him.

Since the day Charlotte was born, her father hates Charlotte dahil sa pagkabuhay mismo ni Charlotte ay siyang pagkamatay ng Ina nila.

In the end Abel left Charlotte with no one by her side and that was his big mistake.

He arrived at the mansion carrying her Sister, everyone was shock and didn't believe what they saw but the young Duke was serious on carrying Charlotte.

Cecelia who was waiting for her young lady saw Abel, gulat man ay lumapit siya rito.

"Young Master, Ako na po ang bahala kay Lady Charlotte." saad ni Cecelia ngunit umiling si Abel at inatasan ang katulong na huwag mag-ingay.

"Prepare a comfortable clothes for her and also when she wakes up be sure to prepare a soup for her." Abel commanded.

Lumabas siya sa tahimik na kwarto upang mabihisan ang kapatid.

The Grand Duke arrived, he looks tired yet he still manage to ask Abel. "I heard Charlotte collapsed?"

"She's fine now you don't need to worry Father."

He's not even sure if the Duke is really worried but still he asked about Charlotte baka nga ay nag-aalala ito.

"You should rest too, your health is more important Abel."

"Yes father."

Matapos umalis ang ama ay napahinga siya ng malalim saka pumasok uli sa kwarto ni Charlotte, nakabihis na ito kaya nilapitan niya ang kapatid at naupo sa gilid ng kama.

Who would've thought that seeing her peacefully sleeping makes him calm.

Hinawakan niya ang kamay nito at napansin niya ang mga sugat sugat na animo'y sugat ng mga tinik sa rosas.

"Why do you keep on getting wounded?" he asked wishing that the sleeping Charlotte would answer.

Hinihiling niya na sana sa mga darating na araw magbago pa ang kapatid niya, he's willing to do everything if one day Charlotte will ask for anything.

Marahan siyang tumayo upang lumabas na ngunit napatigil siya nang magsalita ang kapatid.

"Please let me go back."

The words were simple but it made him stopped from thinking, it was like an unknown voice came out from her sister's mouth.

"Who are you?" he whispered  while looking at the sleeping Charlotte.
