Taming the Villain

Kumunot ang noo ko at napalingon sa pinanggalingan ng boses na iyon.

And to my surprise I saw someone who was really familliar to me.

From the way he dress, his royalty outfit is different to us.

"My lady, seems like you've gotten interested to me."

"Pardon?" Walang pag-aalangang saad ko sa kanya.

O damn, I forgot the greetings.

Breath, Linea. It's not that he was going to slash you with that sword of his.

Napakagat ako ng pang-ibang labi ng hindi nakatakas sa paningin ko ang nakasabit na espada sa may gilid ng bewang niya. Hindi iyon basta basta makikita dahil sa suot niyang kapa.

What's with his bussiness here in the east? Hindi ko siya nakita sa engagement party ko noon. Does it change? Does my future changing?

"Greetings, your highness," Bati ko sa kanya at yumuko ng marahan.

"Linea!"

Kumunot ang noo kong napatingin sa likod ni Eause Hein Alexus. Ang ikalawang prinsipe ng Arteryo. Mukhang hindi na siya nagulat sa pagdating ni Lindel.

"What are you doing here, prince?" Tanong ni Eause sa kanya na ikinabaling naman ng atensyon ni Lindel sa kanya.

"I'm here to talk to my fiance." Ani ni Lindel at lumapit sa akin.

Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin pero hindi siya nagpatinag. He still approached me despite of the death glare I'm giving to him.

He was about to grab my hand but my eyes widen when Eause grabbed it first. Itinago niya ako sa likod niya kaya hindi ko makita si Lindel.

Eause Hein Alexus. The second child of
Eucly the  northern empire emperor. Hindi ko alam kung ano na ang nangyayari but I'm really sure this is not what happened on my past life.

"What are you doing, Prince Eause?" Malamig na turan ni Lindel sa kanya.

Kumpara kay Lindel si Eause ay hindi isang crown prince. Usually the throne is inherited by the oldest and Eause is the second child of their empire kaya hindi niya ma-aascend ang throne unless he kill his brother. Well, he did. I don't actually know the reason but he did kill his brother and even his own father. In my past life he became a tyrant.

He wage a war towards our empire and hindi ko alam ang rason since I died before it actually happens.

Damn, why do I need to encounter people who can just kill me in an instant.

Malas.

"It seems that we are having a misunderstanding here. But isn't the lady of Fyndel mansion break off her engagement with you, crown prince?"

Kinakabahan man pero tinanggal ko ang pagkakahawak ni Eause sa palapulsuhan ko at umalis sa likod niya.

I was now beside him looking intensly on Lindel. Nakakunot ang noo niyang napatingin sa akin. And that's when silly thoughts run toward my system. I think I saw something similar to this in my past life. But the difference is that. I'm not the one witnessing a two person closed to each other.

Napangisi ako ng patago at walang anumang ikinawit ang mga kamay ko sa braso ni Eause.  And that's what makes Lindel eyes widen.

How was it? How does it feel. You did this with Abrenuca in the past.

Letting someone feel what they did is the greatest among it all. How does it taste? This is your game, Lindel. So, bear with it.

Mukhang naintindihan ni Eause ang planong ginagawa ko at walang ano-anong sinabayan ako. Pero wala sa planong nanakawan niya ako ng halik. At sa harap pa mismo ng crown prince.

I was stiffened the moment I felt his lips. Mulat ang mga mata kong napatingin sa mga pulang mata niya. He was also looking at me while our lips was still touching each other.

It's weird! Sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko. This is kind of similar to what I felt before when I saw Lindel for the first time.  Pero ngayon nararamdamn ko na ito sa ibang tao.

When he start moving his lips ipinikit ni Eause ang mga mata niya at kusang sumonod ang mga mata ko. At kusang sinabayan ng mga labi ko ang paggalaw ng sakanya.

My face started to heat up realizing that I'm indeed kissing a prince from another empire just a moment after I turn down my engagement with the crown prince of our own empire.

Nang maramdaman naming wala na si Lindel ay agad kong itinulak si Eause at agad tumalikod sa kanya at tinakpan ang mukha ko gamit ang pamaypay na hawak-hawak ko kanina.

Damn, Linea. Shit ka! Nakakahiya!
Why did I even kissed back.

I was busy cursing myself when I heard him spoke.

"Sweet," mas lalo akong nahiya ng dahil sa sinabi niya.

I was about to fireback pero agad kong naitikom ang bibig ko at ibinaba ang pamaypay na hawak ko dahil sa gulat.

His highness, Eause was no longer here.

Where did he go? Did he just use teleportation?.

So, the rumors was true. He was indeed a mixed blood. A royal blood and a mage.

Eause Hein...

Paka-uwi ko sa bahay ay agad kong nadatnan ang pamilya ko. Surprisingly they are all here. My parents along with my tree older brother.

"Great, our dearest greatest youngest sister is finally home." Walang ka-ganaganang turan ni Keir ang panganay sa amin na agad namang tinugunan ng mga magulang ko. Nakita ko si Hindel na pilyong nakangisi habang nakatingin sa akin. He was my third brother. The arrogant among the tree. Pero sa kanilang tatlo si Hindel ang ka-close ko. Maybe we had the same level of arrogance?

In my past life he was always my accomplice. But unfortunately he died on  his trip at isa iyon  sa kailangan kong i-prevent ngayong binigyan ako ng ikalawang buhay.

I will save myself. I will also save my dear family.

"Can we go inside already? Amari Tara na." Napatingin kaming lahat sa ikalawa kong kuya. He was quite a snob. Always with his glass and holding a book. He was working in the magic Tower Kaya hindi maikakailang ang gamit niyang salamin ay gawa sa mahika. Gabi na at may hawak hawak siyang libro hindi naman ganon kaliwanag sa kinaroroonan namin.

I and my brothers have different personalities. It's just that... kasalanan ko ang lahat kung bakit nasira ang pamilya namin.

But this time for sure. I will do everything. I will save my family.
