I saw Hilbert’s eyes widen for a moment before looking at me in surprise. Seeing his reaction, parang gusto ko tuloy mag explain na this isn’t what his thinking of, but realized that I don’t even know what he is thinking. I promise I’m not doing anything bad or illegal, I just want to gift my little darling Droon a excellent and functioning body. I’m such a good person, for doing this. Hilbert paused for a while, before asking, “Lady Marina, what kind of puppet do you mean? Isn’t a doll puppet? Or you have something in mind?” He inquired, looking a bit confused but he does seems have the means. I smiled and said unhurriedly, “A puppet made by a witch, I prefer a the size of a kid. A puppet that is suitable for an elemental spirit.” There, I put all my intention and request. I’m not afraid of him reporting me to the church or anything. Nobles are known for having a quite bizarre hobbies and secrets. I look at him calmly. Even though witches and warlock have a pretty bad reputa
Chapter Forty-Seven I was stunned, shock, and speechless. My hands started trembling after seeing the Royal Crest. My hearts is going crazy because of nervousness, and my stomach is churning up. I might puke because of my tense nerves. Damn. How could I forgot about this!? • ‘What’s wrong?…’ I heard Droon’s voice echoed inside my head. He’s tone was filled with confusion and a little worry. I gradually calm down, I forgot that Droon might feel my emotions if it’s not restrained. I took a deep breath, and sigh. I was so relax and busy that I forgot this very important matter. Akala ko chismis lang! I drop the invitation like it was made of hotpot and curses, I put them back without reading the content inside. The envelop has two letters on it, one is the invitation letter, and one small scroll with the royal stamp on it. I will read first the letter from the House Edwards. At least it won’t be that dangerous and doesn’t contain curses. Curses that might kill me one day, the r
Chapter Forty-Eight He pick up his cutlery and continue eating with a frown on his face. Then I glared at him, he choke on his food for a second before sitting up straight, his face was painted on a light shade of red, he then gave me a questioning gaze. A gaze saying, ‘What? I didn’t do anything.’ “Then, why are you deliberately showing your displease and pretend sadness? Your even frowning,” I chided and simply continue to sip my tea. Kaiden gasped and look at me like I broke his heart. “Señorita, that’s because it’s unfair!” he pouted and aggressively bite his steak. Unfair? What is he talking about!? “It’s very unfair, all of you would leave me behind. Lahat kaayo mag babakasyon tapos ako nandito lang, waiting to rot and be roasted by Sir James and Mr. Fernando,” he was sweeping and being dramatic again. But I could help but giggled, it was actually funny. “Señorita, you can laugh. There’s no need to suppress your amusement,” he grumbled and slice his steak. My lips cur
Chapter Forty-Nine. The green eyes thief, Zen, glared at me. He was about to open his mouth I grabbed my parasol and aim it straight towards him. “Don’t say a word. I didn’t permit you to talk,” I coldly added, pressing the end of the parasol in his neck. “Say a word, and I’ll cut your neck.” I threaten indifferently, and lifted his chin using the tip of my umbrella. Zen, gritted his teeth and chewed his lips. He didn’t say a word and tightly held the child and glared at me. Everyone, was silent once again. Even the mother who was crying and begging, ate and swallowed her voice, whimpers, and tears. I dropped my parasol and immediately Rita took it and opened for me. The whole scene and place turned into a graveyard and a cemetery. The unusual silence for a buzzing plaza and driveway. The silence was only broken when, my coachman and a doctor was running towards our direction. “Milady, the doctor you instructed is here,” the man informed with heavy breath from running. I loo
Chapter Fifty. "Are you not satisfied with the food milady?" asked Rita in a worried tone and concern. I shook my head and smiled. "It's not like that Rita, you don't need to worry about it. I'm just a bit tired," I explained in a gentle tone. But the truth is, I'm starting feel the food is pretty bland and repetitive. They always serve they same theme, steak, lamb, bread, and wine. The cook I had now was not very impressive. The cook always provided the same food. Wala silang isda or karne ng baboy! Not even a chickens! I’m used on eating lambs and beef, especially bread in every single meal! Wala silang rice dito, or I mean they don’t serve rice in here! They don’t even serve water that much when eating, always tea, wine, or champagne. As a 21st century girl, I long for many dishes. I miss the Filipino cuisines and the fast foods! Now, I'm being ungrateful and picky here. I could help but sigh on how this lifestyle made me realize how much I used to care, and how different
Morning have finally arrived. I am now standing outside looking at busy the Manor. I saw a lot of maids working and running around. I can also see Rita checking everything from the suit cases, utensils, foods, and essentials. Sa pagkaka-alam ko ay we would be traveling and would camp in the mountain for 3 days, until we get on the nearest village for a stop and rest. We will then continue until we reach the House Edwards’ territory. I’m pretty excited to see what’s on the southeast region of Avalor Kingdom. I’m pretty curious about Lady Marina’s hometown. I slowly walked through the carriage na kakaiba ang ekspresyon. I blankly stared at the piece of object in front of, ako’y naka tanga lamang habang nakatayo sa harap ng karwahe na maghahatid saakin. That’s not a freaking carriage! That’s a mini van!!! I screamed in my heart. The carriage design looks like between a carriage and car! It has freaking six big wheels! Parang ang design nito ay yung nakikita ko sa mga video abo
Chapter Fifty-Two. A vortex of shadow and darkness formed on the ground under my two hands. It suddenly spread on and rose from the depths. A dome made of darkness and shadow was formed, shielding everyone inside. It was a large area of effect shield that I have learned and practice. I just twisted some of the incantation spell to fully bring the element darkness. Everyone was shocked and was stunned when they were covered in darkness and shadow. And it’s because that my control wasn’t that precise, the shield isn’t tempered. You can see from the inside what was happening outside the dome, it was somewhat transparent and not tinted. All of them saw hundreds of arrows that was either stuck on the dome, or bounce out and fell from the impact. Their mouth was hang open and gulped a mouthful of saliva before looking at my direction. “Tsk.” I heard a click of tongue coming from the Bandit leader. I glared at him and look around the dome. When I still saw them looking at in astoni
Chapter Fifty-Three. The weather in the second half of the Month of Fire (July) was already very hot. Patuloy na tumutulo ang mga butil ng pawis sa mukha ni Zen habang binabantayan niya ang bawat panig ng coach. Not to mention Vice Captain and the knight troupes, na basang-basa ang shirt sa loob ng armor. Vice Captain Illiad, walking ahead of the coach, had already driven away several beasts rushing down from the mountains. We didn’t encounter any bandits on the way, only some creatures. Ito ay malinaw na responsibilidad niya bilang isang bantay, but the fact that he beat off the vicious beasts without startling the horses definitely impressed me Inside of the coach, since I kept my eyes closed all the time, and Rita was not talkative at all, so as Droon who had no one to talk to the trip went very quite. I’m not that nervous nor scared after what happened. Surprisingly, I’m very calm and is analyzing the bandits intention. Lalo akong nagulat sa sarili ko, na hindi ako nanginginig
Special Chapter. The smell of salty air invaded my nose and lungs, looking at horizon as the sun began to rise it was filled with sparkling diamonds. The sea was something I haven’t seen in my life. My eyes wavered at the site of the port. It was bustling with people and vendors, many dork workers are moving left and right. Ako ay napabuntong hininga at nag simulang mag lakad habang hawak ko ang aking suit case. There was a wooden notice board on the entrance of harbor, naglakad ako papunta doon upang mabasa ito. “Things to take note: “1. Maintain order. Lines are strictly enforced; “2. Do not urinate or defecate, as well as spitting; “3. Find the guard in the lobby if there is a dispute; It was just some guidelines. I just casually glanced at the board and move forward. I’m looking for a ticket company, I have already my identifications and the papers that I need. Dahan-dahan lang ako naglalakad dahil hindi naman ako nagmamadali, hinihintay ko rin ang aking mga kasama. Nauna
Epilogue (Ⅰ) “You are?” Marina was confused, all she was seeing is a beautiful garden. Flourished plants and blooming flowers. She could also see a lot of healthy animals. The whole place was so refreshing and warm, full of life. The figure was sitting close to a pond, its back facing her. Marina took one single step, trying to see or observe who it is. The said figure looks like a woman, her chestnut hair was wavy, and she has a flower crown on her head. The woman turned her head in her direction and offer a warm smile. ‘Mother’ That was the first thing that appeared on Marina’s mind. The woman in front of her stirred something inside her, a fuzzy and warm feeling like a mother looking fondly at her child. She felt calm even though she’s facing a stranger. ‘A goddess’ The second thing she thought. The woman’s beauty was incomprehensible, making words lose its meaning. “Who are you?” Marina asked, eyes abnormally calm, and her heart feels more alive. The woman smiled at her
Quietly, the warm golden glow appeared before them. " Oh my.."He approached and as he glared at the woman, his eyes grew angry. He knelt next to her and put his hands on the vile bite marks on her skin. Everywhere is his.When hands were in contact, a golden glow was left, and when it vanished, just healed flesh was left.The memories are what causes a sudden goosebumps and her resolve, so I cannot take them away," he then remarked softly.In his work. With nothing to cling to, perhaps you would have turned into that as well if I had forced you to forget her.His lip crinkled. "Thus, you abandon her painful memories."No. Leaving her sets me in to confusion I still have not decided with." Men struggle to find items. We wake up. Also, we will.She knelt at the woman's side and stroked her blood-stained hand hair before turning to face the woman who was lying on the ground, promising that everything would be alright.Oh, she aches, I can hear the lace crunching. How could he explain th
There she was, a lady, with beautiful blonde hair, tied up with a teal bow, was sitting down at her desk, writing up some paper work on her table. "Are you not afraid?" I asked as i look outside the window.The movement of her pen came into halt. She didn't say anything as she lifted her head to look at me.

“Ah…” My footsteps slowly halted as I reach the top of the cliff. The view that I saw what was in front of me was something I couldn’t express properly. Warmth greeted my face as bright red and orange lights filled my face. So this is what they mean. Is this freedom? I watch as the Capital was set into blaze. Screams and cries could be heard, I watch as they slowly fell from their feet. I lifted my head just to see a giant creature hovering the Capital. I have only heard it from the myths and stories, I have never thought I would be able to see one in my very own eyes. “Ah…” My footsteps slowly halted as I reach the top of the cliff.

I believe that there’s only a thin line that separates genius and madness. Now I’m starting believe that between humanity and divinity there’s only a short line that separates them. How funny it is. When I want to look back I always thought there’s a big gap between them. I always though that if there’s a thin that would separate something, it would be good and evil. A shame really. Under the pale moonlight, a long braid of silver hair, decorated with vibrant flowers. Calm and collected could be observe from her face, she was looking at the bouquet of floras on her hands. Eyes strained with gentleness and love. So, this is the Saintess of the Earth Mother’s church. For her to descend directly, it only means one thing. Something will bloom or something will wither, just like a flower and plant. “I greet the Saintess of Earth Mother’s Church.” I believe that there’s only a thin line that separates genius and madness. Now I’m starting believe that between humanity and divinity the
“I think there is no need to exchange pleasantries.” I stated as I stared coldly his deep ocean blue eyes. His expression came into somewhat hurt, even though I could be just be wrong on interpreting his emotion. It might be the case, he wasn’t that expressive to begin with. This could be another scheme, wanting to gain my sympathy. “My Lady, please listen to me.” He begged. His voice trembling in sorrow. “It’s rather pathetic to force a conversation for just the other one to listen on a bullshit explanation.” I said without much thought about cursing him. Etiquette doesn’t apply on people I don’t deem to be respected. “We don’t need to talk, I don’t need to listen, we should just end it here. I find it pathetic to engage on a conversation just to occupy this silence.” “I think there is no need to exchange pleasantries.” I stated as I stared coldly his deep ocean blue eyes. His expression came into somewhat hurt, even though I could be just be wrong on interpreting his emotion.
Whatever the churches were brewing behind the scenes, it looks like the kingdom’s future is going to be a dark and horrific one. The possibility of war coming to sweep this kingdom is in a huge margin. I took a sip of my black marque tea as I pounder on what should I do. If a war brakes out, I should know what type of war is it. I noticed his face twitch in my peripheral vision. I love seeing him suffer while forcing himself to smile.himself to refrain from retaliation He looked at me helplessly "You need to look for a maid there.as presentable as you currently appear disgusting" "Act like a normal human being there, and please do not touch my older brother," he said.Stoic tone."Please copy that."
