Kissing The Wind Chapter 11
I could not remember exactly what I had memorized during lunch. I tried to write a formula on paper and answered a math problem. Still, I could not get the right answer. I scratched my head and relearned the lesson I had memorized this afternoon. The next day, I did the same. I went to the library to study for the next lesson but sometimes, I would go back to the first lesson so I would not forget it. When the class was dismissed later that afternoon, I left the classroom and then hurried to the library. But I found out that I kind of forgot the lesson I memorized yesterday, as I had finished memorizing the next lesson that day. I wiped the sweat on my face. If this is how I do it -- forgetting the first lesson every time I memorize the next lesson --- I will forget all the lessons when the exam comes and all the time that I had spent in that library will be wasted. I breathed deeply in annoyance. "Sydnee," called a familiar voice in the back. I turned to look at the one who had

I walked closer to the teacher's table. He was sitting behind the wooden table and I stood in front of him. The sturdy table separated me from him. "I have signed all these documents," he said and shifted things on the table. He put them inside a folder and handed them to me. "I want you to give it to Rogie." I blinked at what he said. What? Rogie? I scratched my nose lightly. "Why it has to be Rogie, Sir?" I asked, disappointed. Teacher Anthony leaned back on his chair and crossed his arms on his chest. He then stared at me longer than usual. "You're blushing," he said in a matter of fact. I smiled wryly. I knew that my cheeks heated up when I heard Rogie's name. It was an odd reaction and I knew that, but I could not help blushing out of embarrassment and annoyance. I never forgot what he did last Christmas party and I never forgot how that boy stared at me the whole time during class hours. If not because of my seatmate whom I made as a shield from Rogie's stare, I would certai

I looked around. There were a lot of students inside the canteen. Most of them were paying for their tuitions because they looked arrogant and cheering for the girl. I then saw a handful of students silently eating their food. They did not raise their heads nor look at my way. I then knew that there were scholars like me because they would never interfere in situations like this. They were afraid that they might end up in the same situation if they would help me out. I understood them and I did not hold a grudge for them. I would be happy if they would not interfere. At least, their scholarships were safe. I spat. "I don't think highly of me," I said, disdain was in my voice. The girl looked down at me and then sneered again. "Scholars like you think highly of yourself. Because you excel in every subject, you think that you can trample us down. Well, I tell you, you can't trample us down!" "Excel in every subject?" I laughed bitterly. I crooked my brows as I looked up at her. A smi

I hissed and gritted my teeth. I thought that he was different from them! It turned out that he was also heartless. I entered the classroom in rage, but I did not expect that someone would slap me and pull my hair the moment I stepped a foot inside."Come on, girls. Slap her!" I gasped when someone pulled me and slapped me in both cheeks. My knees wobbled at the sudden attack and I was slammed on the floor. The impact made me a little bit dizzy. "Why did you do that, Maureen? Rogie said we can't hurt that commoner," a girl voiced out. Her voice was familiar but I could not name her. Maybe one of my classmates who always participated in class. "He wouldn't know. Besides, this girl seduces him. Who knows if she used tricks to tame the well-known Rogie Camero." Maureen scoffed. "Rogie is not someone who would step down for a commoner. He is well-known for being a playboy and a bully!" "Right. Rogie is not a good boy in class. Who would have thought that he would care for this commone

But I said those words because I wanted to slap him the consequences I would face because of his impulsive decisions. I knew. I should not have trusted him in the first place. He was dumbfounded for a moment, and then he cleared his throat. "Have you talked with Rogie Camero?" I sneered when I heard that name. "He doesn't value humanity. That bastard wanted to revoke my scholarship." I looked at Teacher Anthony. "And you are his accomplice." He gulped when our gaze met. "Did he tell you anything?" "I'm done with that bully. Please let go of my arm." Teacher Anthony let go of my arm. "You don't understand," he whispered. "What thing should I understand... I don't care anymore, Teacher. Thanks for your tutorial offer but what a waste. We would part ways before we could start a thing." I then walked away from him.I continued walking towards the school gate, but when I reached the gate, the guards stopped me. "Cutting class?" one of the guards spat. "Go back to your class, Miss."

"There's more," I said between gritted teeth. "Pay my expenses. Carry my bag. Compliment me. Eat with me every lunch. Invite me for a dinner at your house. Accompany me home." Rogie became silent after I said those words. I chuckled as I watched his serious face. His gentle eyes stared at me and it took me a few seconds before I noticed it. I cleared my throat. "Why are you staring like that?" I spat. But he just showed me his smile. "Your demands are easy," he said. "Demands." I huffed. "I don't demand a thing. Do you want to apologize? Then do it," I said and showed him my infamous smile. I would not be here tomorrow so I was sure that he could not do it. Even so, I did not believe that Rogie would do it. He was a prideful bastard that knows nothing but to bully others. At dismissal, I was ready to sprint home. However, the faculty assistant approached me and asked me to follow her to the principal's office. Right. I knew that it's almost impossible to escape that dreadful offi

Her lips twitched and I noticed a hint of amusement in her eyes. She looked at me and then looked at the folder. "You can rest assured that the school will not ask for compensation and punitive damages from you. Someone paid for the sum. I will give you good news." "Good news?" My forehead creased even more at her remarks. "How come good news? And did someone pay for...?" She nodded and a cheeky smile appeared on her lips. "Camero. One of the most influential families paid for the sum and you should serve them." "Camero..." "Rogie Camero," the principal said. She then cleared her throat. "And not only that, but his family will pay for your tuition until your high school graduation. You are lucky to have them so don't do anything reckless starting now. Don't disappoint the Camero." I shook my head in disbelief. "But I'm not his obligation nor I am obliged to serve him."The way she stared at me was like I’ve grown another head. “It’s a blessing. You don’t want it?” she asked while

I stared at him — bewildered by what he was doing. Then he looked at me with tear-stained eyes. “You…” He laughed again before he continued. “Why is it easy for you to forget things about me, and yet, I did not forget the things that you have asked from me earlier when I wanted to apologize to you?” Things I asked from him? I went silent for a few seconds and thought hard. I tried to recall the things that we had talked about inside the art room, and my eyes squinted at Rogie who was grinning at me. “It was just a joke,” I said. “I thought that I’ll not be here tomorrow so forget those foolish things that I had asked from you. I’m just kidding earlier.” It was true. I just said those things to play with him and I never expected that I will still be a student in that academy. If I had known… “Sydnee, I gave you my word and Camero never take back his word.”Before I could protest, Rogie pulled a card from his coat’s inner pocket and put it on the table. He looked at the principal. “G

Kissing The Wind Chapter 68
Three years later...Sydnee frowned when she saw Nikolai dressed like a hooligan. The small body was covered by a thin black silk that was a gift from the Crown Prince. After Anthony went back from the convention, he brought great news that the two kingdoms had decided to end the war and signed a bilateral agreement. It was all due to Anthony's strength in persuassion. The king then asked what Anthony wanted as a reward, and being a sly man, he asked the King to grant him Sydnee as his wife. In the same day, Sydnee received an edict about her marriage with Anthony. Duke Theodore was not as surprised as she was because the duke had a bet with Anthony, that if Anthony would bring good news from the convention, then the duke would not obstruct his plan to marry Sydnee.A year after she was married off to Anthony's household, Sydnee bore him a son who had a great resemblance with Anthony. This called for a celebration. Since then, when Nikolai would celebrate his birthday, the maids wo

The group of criminals who had ran away went inside a shabby inn. They were running like a madman without stopping for the fear that the guards would catch up with them.It was also the place that the group agreed to meet with the lider of the spies in that night. The assassin looked around and only the old woman who was busy playing with the abacus was present inside the inn. "Hey, old woman!" the assassin yelled. "Give us something to drink!"The old woman paused and brought out a tray of cold drinks from the bottom of the counter. "Here. Twenty cents."The assassin brought out twenty cents and distributed the cold drinks on to his companions. He then motioned the one who was near to the door to check outside. After a few minutes, the man came back and shook his head. The assassin grinned. Those slow royal guards could not catch up with them? Hah. What lame guards!They planned to spend the night inside the shabby inn. The group just sprawled on the floor, wearied by the things th

The moon was big and round. It shone so bright that the stars could not be seen in the night sky. The night breeze caressed her skin. Sydnee closed her eyes and smiled. The translucent moonlight shone on her blue dress and the tiny crystals shone when the moonlight touched them. In the middle of the night, Sydnee was like a fairy who descended into the world. It was the scene that Anthony saw after he followed the girl. He was glad that Sydnee was granted another title, but he was unhappy to see her dancing with men. He wanted to also dance with her, but he was being watched by both the crown prince and the second prince. He did not want to implicate Sydnee. His foot stopped a meter away from the shining girl under the moonlight. He drew a breathe and called out her name. "Sydnee."When she heard Anthony's voice, Sydnee opened her eyes and looked at the man standing before her in a daze. The moonlight shone on his suit and his eyes emitted a gentle brown light. She smiled and walk

"What did you say, Mom?" Catarina faced Lady Geneva and gaped her mouth in shock. "Did you just say that Dad would make this trash the heiress of the dukedom?!"Lady Geneva hushed Catarina. They were still inside the hall and the place was full of aristocrats and officials alike. It was the day that Duke Theodore would announce his heiress. The royals were also present. "Keep your voice down!" Lady Geneva sighed. "We can't stop your father in his decision. Let's just accept it dear, okay?" Lady Geneva coaxed and placed her hands in Catarina's shoulder."No!" Catarina broke away from the Lady's grasped. "I can't accept it! Mom, I was with Dad all these years! I studied how to become a good duchess, but... but that trash take my inheritance away!""Catarina!" Lady Geneva said and dragged the girl onto the corner where no one was around. "Just let this event go in peace. We can deal with Sydnee later, okay?"Looking into the resolute gaze of Lady Geneva, Catarina finally calmed down.

The king sitting on his throne smiled at Sydnee. "Raise your head," he said. Sydnee raised her head while she maintained her gaze on the floor. She was taught not to meet the gaze of the king as a subject. "Your daughter is indeed a beauty.""Thank you, My King."Sydnee tried hard not to pursed her lips nor to look at the Duke who was standing beside her. She thought that the Duke did not let anyone know that he could talk, except for his confidante. But it turned out that the king knew that truth all this time.It was good that only the King and the eunuch by his side was present in the throne room excluding the two of them. At least the information that Duke Theodore could talk was still a secret. It was nice not to invite unneccessary trouble on the household. After some time, the king granted Sydnee a tutor for both etiquette and education. She lowered her head and thanked the king, although she was indignant with the tutor of etiquette. Did the king think that she still neede

The copy of the video spread across the capital. The eldest miss of the Baronness who were active in spreading rumors about Sydnee paled when she checked the video that circulated overnight. It was her being tangled with the guard last year. Who recorded this video? The eldest miss immediately summoned her maids and talked with her mother. She and Baroness Jenica went into the third prince's manor to ask for help. Meanwhile, in the fifth's prince manor, the maid who picked up the memory card while buying something in the market yesterday was laughing with the other maids. They were maiden commoners who had not seen a naked man and they were fascinated with the 'good' body of the man in the video, They of course, did not know who was the two people doing it in that video, but they enjoyed watching it. It spread in the whole manor and outside of the manor. The fifth prince who were stationed in the border did not know about this thing.When the third prince's lackeys investigated the

After the commotion in the terrace, although no one talked about it during the rest of the meeting ball, Sydnee knew that she was the center of gossip in the nobles' private chats. She could feel gazes from everyone thus she left the hall earlier. "You haven't enjoyed the party yet," Aleksander said while playing with the wine glass in his hand. Sydnee huffed and looked at the man. "Don't follow me. Go back and enjoy the party.""Ah, a pity. I couldn't enjoy it without you." Then he winked at her. Anthony, who was walking beside Sydnee frowned and looked at Aleksander who was on the other side of Sydnee. "Go back, Tamarin."Aleksander gaped, feigning shock while staring at Anthony. "You know me?" "Stop pestering Sydnee."Aleksander put his free hand on his chest and looked at Sydnee sadly. "My beloved Sydnee, I'll go back. The man beside you is dangerous and I couldn't win against him ---"Before Aleksander finished his words, Anthony took hold of his shoulder and threw him back

Aleksander led Sydnee in the corner where there was no one. Sydnee then pull away her hand from his hold. "What do you want?" she huffed. The man looked down on her and grinned again. What on earth did he want with her? Sydnee frowned. "It looks like the duke's favor is on you, huh?" he said. "So?""Be careful with the people around you. You never knew who is secretly watching you."Before Sydnee could utter a word, a man stood beside her. She was startled. She did not notice how the man got close to her. It was surprising because Sydnee was trained to notice every movement in her sorroundings under the duke's command, that's why there was no one who could get past her defense, and this is also the reason why Sydnee could counter attack Catarina in every petty tricks. "Sydnee," the man called. Her eyes widened when she recognized the voice. It was Anthony. Sydnee tipped her head back to look at him and her breathe hitched when their eyes met. Anthony smiled at her. "What are you
Kissing The Wind Chapter 60
The ride towards the capital was peaceful. Catarina did not throw tantrums like she would usually do. Lady Geneva did try to pick on her. Sydnee was glad because of silence. She looked outside the window and watched as their car drove past other vehicles and establishments. It was her first time to visit the capital and she was nervous yet excited at the same time. The duke had asked her to do her best to appear humble and dignified in front of the officials. Of course she knew why. She would be the center of biggest power fractions in the capital and the duke had also warned her about the royals who would set eyes on her. When they arrived at the capital, Sydnee was left in awe while watching outside the window. The teritories like Consolacion and Obando were nothing like the capital. The place was full of buildings that were so high, one could like at the sky to spot the end of the buildings. There were also a lot of people wearing revealing shirts and there was no distinction bet
