Rouge Laxxus POV
That Faith again, I continue walking and put my attention in the hallway.
As I reach the office of Dean, pumasok na kaagad ako nang walang katok katok.
Lahat ng mata ay napatingin sa aking bahagi ng mapansing sinirado ko ang pintuan.
Nagtaas ng kilay si Eros ng makita ako,"Akalain mo naman ang 'Not interested' ay pumunta pa rito" Taas kilay na saad nito na binalewala ko lang at naglakad patungo sa bakanteng upuan.
"What bring your ass here? I thought you're not interested?" Eros ask while grinning at me.
But instead of answering his foolish question, I just look at Mr. Donovan giving him a clue why I am here.
"Oh that, I just want to tell you that some of academies are intended to attend the reunion" He spoke and show a small smile.
"And?" I said, "That's all? It's not really interested" I added.
Bumuntong hininga ito sa iniasta ko, "I am capable that Reunion is all about fight again, I have a doubt" Mahinang ani nito.
Napakurap naman ako, "Ang ibig mong sabihin ay tulad pa rin no'ng nakaraang taon?" Tanong ko.
Pumikit ito at pinaglapat ang daliri, "Malamang" Sagot niya.
"Isn't it great? Makakasama ulit natin ang mga lapastangang 'yon" Ngiting ani naman ni Farah habang pinaglalaruan ang kanyang buhok.
"Anong ikina great no'n? Tiyak na dugo naman ang dadanak sa napiling lugar" Komento naman ni Eros.
"Ayaw mo no'n?" Natatawang saad pa ni Farah.
"There is nothing great about meeting those hella' who killed Miora" I mumbled enough for the both of them stop comparing about the great thing to that Reunion.
Lahat ng mata ay nakatuon sa akin pati na rin ang ibang nasa loob nito na nakikinig lamang.
"You really believe that one of them killed Miora" Taas kilay na tanong ni Ky.
I give him a glimpse, "Why? Is there someone else?" I ask seriously giving him a full idea about what I am talking about.
As his face turn to pale, he lowered down his head, "I...I don't know, maybe you're just jumping into conclusion" He whisper.
"Jumping into conclusion? Sounds bullshit" Mapaglarong Saad ko, "Tell me Ky if there is someone can do that to Miora"
"They have the grudge against us and hold the title to kill one of the supreme and that's Miora, The girl they stole the life" Madiing saad ko sabay bigay dito ng masamang tingin dahil parang sinasabi nito na purong hindi'katotohanan ang aking pinagsasabi.
"I'm just stating a fact" He shrug as he blurted those words.
I sigh harshly and drop my hand in the wooden made table that giving us the space.
Sapat na ang lakas no'n para malaman nila kung gaano ako kagalit.
"Stating a fact?!" Natatawang Ani ko rito, lahat ng nakakita nang aking inasto ay napakurap at napangko sa kanya kanyang upuan.
"Hep Hep! 'Wag nga kayong mag a-" Eros didn't have the chance to finish his words.
When the door open suddenly hang opened.
And that woman face entered the room with the other girl in her side.
"I've been waiting for you, young lady" Nakangiting Ani ni Mister Donovan sa babaeng kakapasok palang.
The lady who have a pale complexion, blonde hair and a ocean blue eyes.
Faith(SERENITY)
"Bakit ka kaya pinatawag ng Dean?" Takang tanong ni Annie na sumama pa sa akin papunta sa Dean's office.
"Hindi ko alam" Simpleng sagot ko rito.
At tulad ng una, tuwing may nakalalakaran ako may naririnig akong nagsisibulongan.
"Siya 'yon!"
"Oo Tama, siya 'yon! What in the world she is doing?"
"Parang kalaban niya lahat ng mga nandirito"
Napantig ang tenga ko sa narinig sa nagsalita, napangisi ako.
Kalaban? Hmm, Well.
"That Faith again?"
"Yes, She and Aile"
"Balita ko kakagising lang raw ni Aile, pero nag papahinga pa ito dahil sa sakit sa ulo..."
Habang papalapit na ako sa office, unti unting humihina ang kanilang mga boses.
"Hindi ko akalain na sikat ka na agad, Young Highness" Natatawang saad ni Annie sa gilid ko, "Hindi ko rin akalain na gagawin mo 'yon kay Aile at mabuti nalang hindi ito napuruhan ng malala" Magaang sabi nito na animong nabunotan ng tinik sa lalamunan.
"Yeah, Thankfully I didn't ended her life" Pagsasabay ko rito.
She give me a single glimpse, "You should hold back your self Mahal na prinsesa, anger won't help you" She said, trying to teach me.
"Anger can teach me, lahat naman talaga nagsisimula sa galit" Nakangiting Ani ko rito at itinama ang huling sinabi niya.
"Actually, Anger won't help you, it will drag you to the deepest hole until you can't no longer escape and suddenly you will find your self in the roots of vengeance" Ngiting ani ko na tinatama ang aking sinaad at huminto ng nasa tapat na kami ng magandang desinyo na pintuan ng opisina ng Dean.
Hindi ko alam pero nang maalala ko siya, unti unting tumutubo ang galit sa aking Sistema animong gusto kung manakit hanggang sa masiyahan ako at magsawa.
Unti'unti akong kinakain ng kakaibang pagkatao na hindi ko akalain na bigla nalang susulpot sa aking sarili.
Nangunot ang noo ko nang may marinig akong nag'uusap.
"You really cha..." I signal her to stop.
"There is nothing great about meeting those hella' who killed Miora'" A deep voice of a male.
Napangko ako sa kinakatayuan nang marinig na binanggit nito ang pangalan ng aking nakakatandang kapatid.
Mas lalo kung inilapit ang aking taenga sa pintuan.
"You really believe that one of them killed Miora" Another voice question the first voice.
"Why? Is there someone else?" The first voice again.
"I...I don't know, maybe you're just jumping into conclusion" The second voice answer.
"Jumping into conclusion? Sounds bullshit" He playfully said.
Mapaglaro ang boses nito animong psychopath.
"They have the grudge against us and hold the title to kill one of the supreme and that's Miora, The girl they stole the life" Ngayon naman ay masyadong Madiin ang boses nito at parang handang kumagat.
He's talking about my sister. There is no doubt about it, it's my sister.
"I'm just stating a fact" Another one answered.
Nakarinig naman ako ng malakas na kalabog sa loob.
"Stating a fact?!"
"Hep Hep! 'Wag nga kayong mag'a-"
I didn't wait to finish the other guy's voice instead I entered the room without knocking.
Everyone eyes move to me, they are talking about my sister's death but... Sino ang sinasabi nilang pumatay?
"I've been waiting for you, young lady" Nakangiting saad ni Mister Donovan sa akin, "Take a seat, Young lady" Saad pa nito.
"Thank you" Ngiting ani at umupo sa isang bakanteng upuan sumunod rin sa akin si Annie.
Ngumiti ako rito ng pilit at tiningnan silang lahat, "Talking about the Supreme Princess?" Saad ko rito sa patanong na boses.
"It won't do anything to you, Miss Who You Are?" Normal na saad naman ng babaeng naka pink na headband.
I give her a simple gaze, telling her 'I didn't ask you' pinantayan nito ang simpleng tingin ko, walang halong galit o pagkamaldita kundi simple lang.
"She's Kirsten Faith Seville, I ask her to come here because I wanted her to join the reunion" Biglang Ani ni Mister Donovan.
Lahat ay napatingin sa kan'ya ng sabihin niya 'yon.
"Wait.. I think I already meet her" Biglang saad ng babaeng nakaupo at agarang tumayo sabay turo sa akin.
Gulat naman akong napatingin sa kanya, "Did I meet her before?" Pasimpleng tanong ko kay Annie na nasa gilid ko lang.
"I can't remember but she and her family is always invited in the Monarch's household" Annie answer secretly enough for the both of us to hear.
"If i'm not mistaken, You are surrounded with a lot of royal guards and you are wearing a blue evening dress, blue as your eyes" She said with a smile on her face.
"But I don't remember where or when, pero bago ka lang dito sa aming paaralan?" Tanong nito na ikinatango ko.
"Kirsten Faith Seville, What a nice name" Mapaglarong Saad naman ng lalaking nakaupo sa may gilid katabi ng babaeng kumausap sa akin.
"But did we heard about Seville surname?" Takang Ani pa nito.
"TSS, Seville is not a surname"
"Ngayon ko palamang 'yan narinig" Saad nito.
"It doesn't matter, Faith, I am inviting you to join the reunion" Nakangiting Ani naman ni Mister Donovan.
"Reunion? With whom?" I ask with a calm voice.
"Reunion with the other academies" Sagot naman nito.
Other academies?
"Thank you for your invitation but, I don't have any plan to join anything" I politely decline.
"OHH"
"What?"
"She decline it!"
Nakadikit parin sa aking pisnge ang isang ngiti at samantalang nawala ang ngiti sa mukha ni Mister Donovan at napalitan 'yon ng mahinang tawa na ikinakunot ng iilan.
"Ano nga bang inaasahan ko sa kadugo niya? HAHA You're carrying the authority of your household, Young lady" Saad nito.
"Bakit mo naman siya iimbitahan?" Takang tanong naman ng lalaking Suarez na 'yon.
Napabaling ang atensyon ko sa direksyon nito, napatingin ako sa lalaking tinatawag nilang 'King Laxxus' kalmado ang mga mata nito ibang'iba sa boses nito kanina na parang psychopath.
"I was amaze by her attacks move, the way she fight, the way she analyzed the movement of her enemy, the way she hold the Katana with those bare hands... I believe that she have a potential to be a ranked student here..." Nakangiting saad nito at tumingin ng diretso sa akin.
"Or maybe I don't have to believe that she will be a ranked student here because I am sure that her Destiny and Karma is already predicted, even though I still don't have any blueprint or background of your ability... But I believe in you, specially to your bloodline" Ani pa nito na ikinataka na talaga ng iilan.
So... He really know who I am?
"Gaano ka kasigurado sa pinagsasabi mo?" Tanong ko sa isang kalmadong boses.
"Dahil naniniwala ako sa daloy ng dugo mo" Sagot naman nito.
"My destiny and karma is already predicted? I am amaze, sino ba ang manghuhulang 'yan at nasabi mong predicted na ang aking Tadhana?" Tanong ko rito.
"You have a rude side compare to her" Saad ni Mister Donovan, "She is not soft but she is not heartless, she is not kind but she is not rude, she is not nice but she is not cruel. She's standing in between those behavior, a balance" He smiled as he blurted those words. Napunta rin sa malayo ang mga mata nito.
"Sino ba ang pinag'uusapan niyo?" Rinig kung inip na saad ng Suarez na 'yon.
"Feels like she's holding a secret" Ani pa nito, "What's with her?"
"It's not 'what's with her' it's supposed to be 'Who is she?'" That Morgan corrected the Suarez words.
"Then, Who is she?" The Suarez again.
But instead of answering his questions, the other one started a new topic.
"Wait... Just like Farah said, I already saw her somewhere too" Saad ng babaeng naka pink na headband.
"But I guess it's been a year since I seen her somewhere, but I'm not sure if you are wearing a blue dress. I can't recall the past" Saad nito sa akin.
"She look familiar too, I also have a feeling that I already meet here" The other guy said.
"As well as that woman standing beside Miss Faith" Saad pa nito sabay turo kay Annie.
"If i'm not mistaken you are Annie the partner of Luhan" He said as he show off his dimples while smiling.
Partner of Luhan ha, Napabaling ako kay Annie na nakangiti lang.
"I already seen that woman standing beside that brat" That Suarez again, pointing me as the brat.
Sumama naman ang mukha ko sa narinig, he have the guts to call me brat, that jerk.
"Luhan, the family doctor of the Monarch's. I bet you're a servant of Monarch's?" The Morgan ask.
"Do I really look like a servant? King Morgan?" Annie Asked.
"Hmm, Not really. You look decent" Ngiting ani ng lalaking kinausap ni Annie.
Mas lalong lumapad ang ngiti ni Annie.
"So you mean, servant look indecent?" She ask smiling at him.
"Depend on your beliefs" The Morgan shrug.
I sigh calmly before deciding to speak, "May I ask, what are you all talking about earlier?" I repeated my question earlier.
"Ah, about the death of Highest ranked student here" Saad ng isang lalaki na nakaupo sa lamesa habang nakaharap sa akin.
Napangiti naman ako, "What's wrong with her death?" I confusedly ask.
"Like what they said earlier, this things won't do anything to you" Kalmadong Ani naman ni Laxxus habang seryusong nakabaling ang dalawang mata nito sa akin.
I shrug my shoulder and answer him, "Malay mo, baka may magawa 'yan kung bakit nandirito ako sa paaralang ito" Pilit na Ani ko.
"It's all about the rumors, rumors about the other academy who hold the grudge against the highest ranked lady" Biglang sabat naman ni Mister Donovan.
"Rumors?" I couldn't help but to creased my head, alam kung makakatulong sa akin ang mga bagay bagay na maaari kung marinig sa kanila.
"Yes rumors, things that happen in the reunion of different academies" Walang ganang Saad naman ni Laxxus habang naka lapat ang pagkabilang palad.
"Miora, was killed in the ship" Biglang saad ng babaeng naka pink na headband.
"That is not unexpected, remember... She was good to be true and maybe someone is against to that idea of Miora being the most highest among the rest of thousands students" Sabi naman ng babaeng nakapansin sa akin kanina.
"Then they think it is a satisfying reason for someone to kill her, Farah?" Kalmado ngunit mababakasan ang galit sa mga mata ni Laxxus sa uri ng pagtanong niya sa Farah'ng iyon.
Tila nanlaki ang mata ni Farah sa narinig at nag iwas ng tingin kay Laxxus, "I don't know" She answer.
"TSK"
"Monarch family have the largest legacy aside from us, it's normal she's a Monarch. It's on her blood line to be a top among the others. She have the right to stand higher than anyone else!!!!!!" Malakas na Ani ni Laxxus sabay tayo ng marahas sa upuan.
"She's the unexpected legacy of the Monarch" Mahinang bulong nito sabay kuyom nang kanyang kamao.
"Seems like you're pointing that no one can defeat her, that no one can betray the Monarch's descendants" Mahinang ani naman ng nakayukong si Farah.
"You and Miora are same! SELFISH! You are selfish! You just want her! Baliwala na ang iba sa 'yo Laxxus. It's all about her! Her! Her! And Her! All About Miora! All about the woman who doesn't care to anyone el-" I couldn't stop my self from talking and protect my sister from the harsh words of that Farah.
"That's not true, She is not selfish!" Malakas na Ani ko na ikinabaling ng iba sa akin.
"How dare you to say those things in front of the Highest Master? How dare you to think that Miora, the legacy of Monarch is selfish. You have no right to spill those things! You have no right to state the Monarch's descendants as a selfish woman!" Malakas na Ani ko at naramdaman ko nalang ang munting init na dumampi at dumausdos pababa sa aking pisnge.
Lahat ay nagulat sa biglaan kung pagsalita na kani kanina lang ay nakamasid lang sa kanila.
Nagtagisan kaming tatlo ng tingin sa isa't isa.
"Hep Hep" Biglang awat nang isang lalaki na kasama nila Laxxus at nang Suarez na 'yon.
Nataohan naman ako at parang bumalik sa tamang wisyo ang isipan ko, napagtanto ko nalang kaagad na mali ang naging galaw ko.
Napatingin ang lahat sa akin at nanghuhusga ang bawat lapat ng mata nila sa akin, Nanghuhusga na parang may dapat silang malaman tungkol sa salitang binitawan ko kani kanina lang.
"Those words, there is something to those words. I wonder? What is the thing you wanted to pointed out?" Laxxus asked with a emotionless voice.
Hindi ako sumagot bagkos ay tinapatan ko lang ang walang emosyon nitong mga mata.
Napuno nang katahimikan ang lugar at walang naglakas loob na basagin ang barrier ng katahimikan na lumukob sa aming pwesto.
Nang biglang... Tumikhim si Mister Donovan, "Natapos ko na ang maikling sasabihin at gustong iparating sa inyo, maaari na kayong makabalik sa kanya'kanyang klase" Biglang Ani nito at hindi ko maipagkakaila na kahit hindi na ito masyadong bata ay parang may hatid na kapangyarihan ang kanyang boses.
Na maski ang mga taong nandirito ay kailangan siyang sundin at bawal labagin.
"You almost put your self in danger zone" Biglang sulpot ni Annie sa gilid ko sabay bulong nang mahina.
"I was just out of limit" I murmured back.
"Hold your self Faith, Hold it until you still have a time to hide the reason why you are here" Pagbibigay aral nito.
"I know that you have the right to correct her or their words against to your sister but can you please, Think before you speak" Aral pa nito.
Natahimik naman ako dahil alam kung unang'una mali ako at tama ang sinabi ni Annie.
Hanggang sa nakalabas na kami ng kwartong iyon hindi pa rin ako kumikibo.
Nakasalalay ang mga bagay sa akin, nakasalalay ang hustisya ng kapatid ko sa aking kamay.
Habang naglalakad papalabas ang inimbitahan ni Mister Donovan ay hindi nila inalis ang mata sa akin.
Panay ang sulyap ng iilan at ang iba naman ay nagbubulongan na rinig na rinig ng aking taenga.
"Alam niya ba ang pinagsasabi niya?" Bulong nang lalaking nakasuot ng malaking salamin.
"Who know? Malay natin" Sagot ng kasamahan nito.
"If you didn't hold yourself back everything will fall for nothing Faith, always remember that" Biglang Ani ni Annie ulit.
"I didn't mean it, Nairita lang ako sa narinig sa sinabi nitong Selfish si Ate" Mahinang bulong ko na sapat na para marinig ako nito.
Napahinto ako nang may makitang lalaki na may kasamang babaeng papalapit sa aming pwesto.
"Wala nang susunod na klase, may gagawin ang mga Ranked students kasama ang mga teacher" Saad ng babae habang tumango naman ang kasamahan nito
"Thank you sa information" Magalang na Ani ni Annie.
"Pero ang sabi, 'Wag raw munang uuwi kasi may sasabihin pa ang professor" Ani pa nang babae.
Nakatingin lang ako rito at parang sinasaulo ang mukha nito.
"Annie!"
May biglang sumigaw naman kay Annie na ikinabaling niya doon pero nakatingin pa rin ako sa dalawa na ngayon ay tumalikod na.
"I have something to tell you, can you come with me?" Narinig kong boses ni Luhan na pinapakiusapan si Annie.
"I have no choice" Rinig ko namang Saad ni Annie at mabilis na naglakad papunta sa aking harapan, "Young Mahal na prinsesa... Can you wait me in the cafeteria? I'll just go with Luhan, may impostante kasi siyang sasabihin" Pag papaalam nito animong magagalit ako pag iniwan niya ako.
Tumango lang ako bilang tugon rito, ngumiti siya at nag bow ng kaunti, "Thank you, Mahal na Prinsesa and forgive me about my words earlier. I didn't state your position as the Young Lady of your household" Mahinang ani nito, "Pinagsabihan pa kita, patawarin niyo po ang pagkawalang galang na inakto ko" Mahinang dagdag pa niya.
Nangunot ang aking noo pero tumango pa rin ako at napag desisyonang maglakad nang makitang tumalikod na rin ito.
Napabuntong hininga ako habang naglalakad sabay pikit ng mariin.
"Realizing your mistake? Napagtanto mo na ba ang sinasabi mo kani kanina lang?" The voice echoed in my ears
