Royal Trouble series#1: Behind cruelty

RTS: Chapter 5

Nakangisi si princess Merea habang tiningnan ang kanyang biktima. Nasa malayo sya ngayun nakapwesto-sa isa sa pinakamataas na rooftop nang academia. Mula rito ay kita kita nya ang nangyayari sa ibaba at kung ano ang pinangagawa nang mga kapwa estudyante nya sa baba.

Meron nag babato nang apoy, tubig bato, at meron ding mga ipo ipo. Maganda tingnan ang mga nangyayari mula sa pwesto nya ngunit hindi iyon ang dahilan kung bakit nakangisi ngayun ang prinsesa.

Nang masiguro nyang ayos na at nasa pwesto na ang lahat nang kakailanganin nya ay agad na syang bumaba sa rooftop.

"Hi, Princess merea." masiglang bati sakanya ni Athena habang nakangiti nang malapad.

Princess Merea acted shyly and smiled a little before nodding her head as response.

Nagulat naman si Athena. Did she just smiled? Gulat nyang saad sa isip at sandaling natulala.

Merea chuckled at her reaksyon, napabalik naman sa ulirat nya si Athena. "You laugh again! And smile!" she beamed like she is having an encounter with a non existent scene.

Napapoker face naman si Merea. "Of course i can. I'm still a human." she nonchalantly said and coldly look at Athena.

And for some reason, Athena felt the chills but she disregard it. "But that's not what's the rumors tell." giit naman ni Athena.

Napairap nalang si Athena. "Of course, it's a rumors." she said, annoyed then she sigh exaggeratedly and whisper. "Another idiot.".

"What?" Athena asked, unable to hear what princess Merea whisperings.

Nagkibit balik naman si princess Merea. "Nothing. Anyway are you ready?" Merea asked before going in inside the carriege na magdadala skinila sa berlum city.

Berlum city is a city where magical stones exist-magical stones are used for potions and powerful weapon. Meron kasi silang dapat na akunin na gem stone sa berlum city for their witch craft and sorcery lesson kay prof carlo na isang class A elite sorcerer.

Tumango naman si athena sa tanong ni Merea at pumasok na din saloob nang karwahi. Ganon din si Hardios.

Binigyan silang tatlo nang task na gagawin sa berlum city-and they need to do it fast dahil kunti lang ang oras na binigay sakanila. Hindi naman na bago ito para kay princess Merea dahil last year ay ginagawa nya din ito kaso ang kaibahan lang ay may kasama sya ngayon at medyo mahirap ang task nya sa taon na ito kumapara sa dati.

As i said, there is no special treatment in their academy even though she is a princess-Teachers, Professor, instructor, trainer and headmaster in there academy is more cruel than you think.

Sino ang matinong guro ang mag papagawa sa 2 years old na bata na pumatay nang isang delikadong nilalang sa isang delikadong lugar?-diba wala?. Sa tingin nga ni Merea ay may mga sayad ang kanyang mga naging guro-just like now, Merea is hundred one percent sure that they will not just simply get some magical stones in berlum city. She is sure as f-ck that they will do more than that.

Napailing nalang si Merea at tiningnan ang mga kasama nya, they are all kids-her as three years old kid-athena is five Years old but looking like 3 years old and thinks like two years old and-Hardios is seven years old. Merea just hope that her two companion will not be a pain in her ass. Baka sya pa mismo ang pumatay sa dalawang kasama nya.

AFTER A NOT so long ride dumating na sila sa berlum city. Nasa labas lang sila nang city tumigil for some reason.

The place is heavily guarded kaya hindi agad sila makapasok. Napangisi nalang si Merea-as she expected. Something is off with this task-good thing she never fall on his trap. Kilala ang professor na si Carlo sa pagiging maloko at prankster na teacher kaya hindi na sya mag tataka kung Isa itong trap o isa sa mga kalokohan nang propesor.

Napailing nalang si Merea-he acts like a child more than me. She said in her mind.

Anyway, agad silang bumaba sa karwahi tapos ay kinuha ang mga gamit nila sa kanilang pag lalakabay. Maliit lang naman ang dala nilang bag dahil tulad nang spatial ring na nasa kamay ni princess Merea ang bag na bitbit nila ngayun ay katulad din niyon.

"I'll be leaving your highness, be safe." magalang na paalam nang coachman nag hatid sakanila. Nakayuko ito at nakalagay ang isang kamay sa dibdib.

"Rise..." Malamig na utos ni Merea na agad din naman na sinunod nang coach man si Wien-isa syang water mage at isa ring Royal guard.

TINUNGO nila ang daan papasok sa city nang berlum and to their surprise verything is a mess-like seriously a big mess-gone the beautiful city.

"Illusions..." Merea murmured under her breath. Agad syang naalerto at pinakiramdaman ang paligid.

Nasusunog ang mga bahay, sira-sira ang mga gamit at puno nang usok ang lugar and whats more worst? may mga patay na mga katawan sa kahit saang lugar-mapa bata, dalaga, binata at mga matatanda- everyone is dead.

Napalunok naman nang laway si athena at si hardios. Habang si merea naaman ay nanatiling malamig ang kanyang tingin at parang wala lang itong nakikita kung umasta. She looks more older than her two companion where in fact it's the other way around!

Diba dapat sya ang protektahan dahil sya ang mas pinakabata? Eh bakit parang ginawa pa syang panangala nang dalawa?

"What happend to this place?" athena asked slightly trembleng.

"Do you think, we know what happened?" sansala naman ni hardios at bagyang napangiwi nang malanghap nya ang pangangamoy nang mga patay na tao.

Sinamaan naman nang tingin ni athena si hardios. "Psh. Shut up! if you will just speak nonsense, i***t!"

Nalukot naman ang mukha ni Hardios at sinamaan nang tingin si Athena na ngayun ay nakangisi na sakanya. "You don't have the right to call me i***t! I'm not an i***t. Stupid!" he growled.

Napakunot naman ang noo ni Athena sa narinig at nalukot din ang mukha. "And who is the one your calling stupid?!" Athena sarcastically retorded.

"See? Your really stupid!" naiiling na sabi ni Hardios at napapalatak.

"You-" Napatigil sa akmang pag sisigiaw si Athena nang nag salita si Merea in her cold chilling voice.

"You two shut the f-ck up." malamig na saad ni merea and here it goes again-hardios and Athena felt the chills, for the nth time.

Natigilan silang dalawa at bagyang napakislot. Imbes na itulog ang pag babangyan nila ay tahimik na lang silang nagsasamaan nang tingin sa isa't-isa.

After a while of walking, biglang napatigil sa pag lalakad si Merea kaya napatigil din sa pag lalakad ang dalawa nya pang kasama.

"Someone is watching us, for too long now. " Merea said in a low voice-enough for the three of them to hear it.

"I can feel it, they are many." seryosong saad ni Hardios.

"Fifteen presence, some are extremely powerful and some are not." seryusong dugtong naman ni Athena na himala-na kaya nya palang mag seryuso.

Napangiti naman si Merea, mag sasalita na sana sya nang may biglang lumitaw na babaeng naka itim na make up at itim na itim lipstick. Naka itim na kapa din ito at long sleeve dress na black din ang sout neto. In short mukha syang lady in black-obviously

May mahabang sungay din ito sa kanyang ulo-bigla tuloy naalala ni Merea ang librong nabasa nya last month tungkol sa isang babaeng maganda pero nakaitim lahat maliban nalang sa lipstick nitong pula. May malaking pakpak ang babae -at kung hindi sya nag kakamali ay ang title nang book nayun ay 'The malifficent'. Merea can tell that it's a great book and the character-which is malifficent is dangerously beautiful. But there's a difference between malifficent and this woman in front of them though-malifficent is dangerously gorgeous while the woman in front of them is.... Ah nevermind. I don't wanna be rude so I will just gonna leave it to your imagination.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" the woman said while looking down at them. She have this mockery smile in her lips like she is belittling the three kiddos infront of her-well she really did belittle the three of them-which she shouldn't have done in the first place.

The three of them didn't answer and just stare at the woman in front of them. Amuse namang napanguti a g ang babae. "Aw so cute! Trying to be intimidating, aren't we?" she chuckled.

Ngumisi naman si Merea at sinabayan sa mahinang pagtawa ang babae na ikinatigil neto. "Why are you laughing, kid?" masungit na sabi anng babae kay Merea.

"Ah that? I just don't want my companion to think of you as crazy lady." Innocenting saad ni Merea na ikinasinghap ng babae pati narin nila Athena at Hardios.

"Savage..." commento nang isang lalaking naka puro itim din na sumulpot nalang bigla mula sa kung saan, Merea can say that there is more or less chance that infront of them are Dark magicians.

"Shut up rik..." The woman glared to the man who's name is rik that appears out of nowhere. "And you kid! How dare you! Do you want to die early!?" she angrily said and points her finger to Merea na malamig parin ang paraan nang pag titig neto.

Hindi man halata sa mukha nya but Merea is a little bit nervous-or not. She is terribly nervous right now for f-cks sake! Mga dark magician lang naman ang nasa harapa nya-nad they are not just one! They are fifteen!

Oh no, they are doomed
