MISTRESS OF IMPERIAL HOUSE

KABANATA 1

Kabanata 1.

There are 2 kinds of people that I hate. The first one is those people that are useless and arrogant. The second one is the man in my memories that is outrageous and vile. The one who brought me so much pain and the reason why my mother died.

However, giving up is not my thing. After all those memories ensued in my life and only bring me undying pain. There will be no place to escape for that man. His death was already set on my hand. Killing him won't be hard for me.

Therefore, destroying him would be my pleasure to take. I am sure of it. These hands of mine craves to crushed him down till he becomes lifeless.

“The emperor is looking for you, Her Highness.”

Tinapunan ko ng tingin ang babaeng nasa ibaba ng punong pinagmamalagian ko ngayon. Nanatili itong nakatungo sa akin habang emotionless ko lang itong tinignan.

That maid is sure bothersome.

Tumalon na lamang ako pababa at nagsimula ng maglakad patungo sa loob ng Imperial House. Ramdam ko naman na nakasunod sa akin ang katulong.

Nang makapasok ako sa Imperial House ay agad akong nagtungo sa office ni old man. Hindi na ako nag-abalang kumatok at pumasok na lamang ako.

“What do you need, old man?” malamig kong tanong dito.

Based on what the maid he sent earlier, there's no other reason why I should be here. It is just a formality that's why I asked. But it won't change the fact how I scorn him to the core.

“There's a group of intruders that keeps messing around for almost a week and the main point here is that they are after us. So don't be careless in anytime you need. I don't know what their plan is but there's nothing wrong to heed on yourself once.”

Such nonsense.

“Do what I say. Don't be so stubborn!” dagdag pa nito.

“Whatever,” walang gana kong tugon dito.

Agad naman akong lumabas at iniwan ko na siyang mag-isa doon. Narinig ko pa ang pagbuntong hininga nito bago ako nakalabas sa office niya. Nang makarating ako sa aking silid ay agad akong nagtungo sa balcony. Tumitig ako sa madilim na kalangitan.

There's a hundred wealthy families in the Zakar City, the capital and the biggest city in the country. But the most mainly family part is our, the Zilvaed family.

The Zilvaed family is infamous for being dangerous to any mankind. Kilala ang aming pamilya dahil sa angking kaisipan at kakayahan. Lahat ng sumubok na kalabanin kami ay nauuwi sa kamatayan. There's no weak and unsightly in our side. Lahat kami pinanganak na walang kapintasan. Sa madaling salita, we are born proud and powerful enough to dominates all. The reason why we are different from others aside from being dangerous is that the power and authority we hold. Unlike from the other families, the Zilvaed family are more powerful and convenient especially when it comes of our prowess.

Only the Zilvaed family have this dangerous and command power. The ability that bound to racked and kill you in instant. The most infamous and menacing to make you suffer in no time. The power that can't be survive. We born not to give others any bit of mercy.

Tumingin ako sa may pintuan bago ako muling tumingin sa labas ng balcony. Sa may tabi nito ay may mataas na puno kung saan ako dumadaan para bumaba. Alam kong may mga patrol na nakabantay sa paligid ngayon dahil na din sa nangyari last week.

Dahan-dahan akong umakyat sa puno at bumaba. Tumingin ako sa paligid at nakita kong wala pa akong namamataan na mga patroller ng Imperial House.

Nagpatuloy akong naglakad patungo sa courtyard kung saan doon din ang patutunguhan ko. Doon kasi matatagpuan ang libingan ng namayapa kong ina. Pinagawa kong garden house ang lugar na 'yon kung saan siya sa loob inilibing.

The only woman who is so much dear to me that even until now I can't still accept her loss. She doesn't even deserves it. So, the rightful thing to do is to revenged her death and make that bastard pay. I won't stop till I began to hunt him down and wiped him out in this world.

Nang makarating ako sa garden house at pumasok. Agad kong tinungo ang libingan ng aking ina kung saan nakalagay pa ito sa gitna ng garden house. Dahil gawa sa limpid glass ang buong area ng garden house kaya madali lamang makakapasok ang liwanag mula sa buwan. Hindi na din ako mahihirapan sa dilim.

Umabot sa isang oras ang pagpanatili ko sa loob bago ako lumabas. Nadatnan ko naman ang dalawang patroller kaya agad akong lumihis ng daan. Ayaw kong makipagtaltalan kay old man ngayon. Troublesome.

Samantala, nakasalubong ko naman ang kilalang commander ng Imperial Empire. The man who is in charge of surveillance and invasion, the one prevailed every aggression. Hindi naman maipagkaila na malakas at mapanganib itong lalaki. After all, he's also the infamous commander for his glory in the battlefield.

Zarektrion Viserion.

Nang magtama ang paningin namin. Nakita ko ang sandaling paglambot ang dumaan sa mga mata nito bago bumalik ang walang ekspresyon nitong mukha. Hindi ko na lang 'yon pinansin at malamig ko lang itong tinignan.

“You mustn't going out by yourself at night, Your Highness.” while saying those lines with a rough tone and stoic face, he's still remained firm as if he's not aware knowing who's he talking to. I scoffed.

Honestly, with that posture, hindi mo aakalain na galing siya sa marangyang buhay. Before he got that status from the empire, he already owned a freaking land and wealth. But he decided to joined our forces and become a commander as well as he gained his own battalion. That's why he's still a mystery and dangerous for me. He's a threat to me. He's an invulnerable and impenetrable man that I can't even make a scratch on him. Nalaman ko lang 'yon nang minsan kong sinubukan na gamitin ang ability ko sa kanya.

Inaamin kong mahirap din malaman ang iniisip ng commander. Wala siyang pinapakitang emosyon sa nakapaligid sa kanya kaya mahirap siyang basahin. Hindi na nakakapagtaka kung bakit madali lamang sa kanya na manalo sa labanan dahil hindi siya nagpapakita ng anumang kahinaan. Isa siya sa mga taong maimpluwensya at makapangyarihan sa buong Imperial Empire. Hindi ko na lamang siya pinansin at agad ko siyang tinalikuran.

Naglakad lang ako sa malawak naming courtyard nang may namataan akong isang taong nakatago sa puno. Nakasuot ito ng cloak kaya hindi ko gaano nakikita ang pagkakakilanlan nito. Malayo ang kinatatayuan nito sa akin at madilim din ang pinagtataguan nito kaya walang makakapansin sa kanya.

Walang emosyon akong lumapit dito at nasa two to three meters lang ang distansya naming dalawa bago ko ito tinawag.

“Why are you there?” inosente kong tanong dito.

Nakita ko naman ang pagkaalerto nito sa akin. Patago naman akong ngumisi. Sa nakikita kong reaksyon nito at sa ginagawa niya sa ilalim ng puno. Alam kong isa na namang outsider ito.

“W-who are you?” nauutal nitong tanong sa akin.

“Oh, I'm just passing by, don't mind me.” sagot ko naman dito. Bago pa man ito kumontra sa akin ay agad na itong namilipit habang hawak ang sariling leeg.

Gamit ang command ability kong kontrolin ang isipan ng iba ay magagawa kong utusan ang sarili nitong gawin ang ninanais ko. Nakita ko kung paano siya nahirapan sa ginawa ko hanggang sa nawalan na ito ng buhay at bumagsak.

Agad naman akong umalis sa lugar na 'yon.

My ability is very convenient when it comes of this matter. Kaya kong patumbahin ang mga kalaban ko na walang kahirap-hirap.

This power of mine is truly dangerous yet terribly. Makakaya kong patumbahin ang sinumang hahadlang sa akin. By using this, I can now revenged the death of my mother and destroyed that man.

I am clearly the most dangerous you wouldn't want to meet. And one of the member of the Zilvaed family, most especially, beware the name Amara Zilvaed at all cost.
