CHAPTER 45- VIDIANA

A L E X

I was thrilled to meet Luna Vanessa even just a few glimpse. I miss everyone. I saw the Eunuch gathering all the remaining of the toxic fabrics and any thing that was made from that toxic substance. I saw Luna Crest from the crowds. Our eyes met and he wave his hand to me with a sweet smile and go back to work.

We have been separated from each other . I stretches my limbs and stop when I heard the satisfying cracks.

The lady Han ordered her Eunuch to sneak on lady Shen's room to delivered that flower. It's actually a toxic one. I won't worry because Luna Vanessa will notice that flower she has sensitive smell.

Mangangati siya at mamula mula Ang kanyang mga balat. Lady Han was jealous to hear the rumors that the king has another woman to visit tonight and mas Lalo na papunta pa kay lady Ming.

I became her woman in charge, a head of her ladies-in-waiting. The king's chancellor Tai get me into this position. I refuses to become the new head of all maid in the palace. My brain helps me gets into this position. The maids bowed to me and I did in return but slightly.

I have my knowledge on this palace rules and it's etiquette. On how the king's rushed to make his concubines to bare him an heir. Gusto niyang mamatay na may maraming anak he don't want to end his bloodline. The concubines are fighting to get the position of becoming the Queen to his Majesty.

Wala naman akong pake since my motives was to get that fairy out of here. And we rarely met but a few miles away. Her countess was always busy and having a trouble helping the duke. The party is on tonight and that's why they are rushing things already. The maids are like robots preparing all the things perfectly, double time.

And this king will asked for a dance with that Lady Ming and that drives lady Han to sabotage her. 

I stop when someone pins me against the wall. I remain forbearance not to react. He always does this to me everytime he sees me. His being annoying. I thought he's just a polite gorgeous maderpaker. His driving me crazy.

"Your home" I said on a low monotone.

"Yes, I just finished the report from the capital and I couldn't wait to see you" he said and he looks wasted.

"Okay kalang?" Natahimik lang Ako ng ibaon niya ang ulo niya sa balikat ko. I touch his nape and his burning. He has cold. Ang bigat niya para akong nadaganan ng malaking bato. "Chancellor tai your squashing me!!" Pilit ko siyang tinutulak palayo pero mabigat talaga siya

The maids were gossiping and everything went awkward but I asked a few help to assist him back to his room. I put him down and covered him with a blanket. His hot and it's getting worsier. I squeeze the cloth and put it on his forehead. I help him change clothes. He has the same nipples like Luna crest.  Pink!! Haha

His groaning in pain but it sounds like a moan to me and I tried to pretend that I didn't hear that.

Emion and Luna Quartz was assigned in the kitchen. Lagi naman ako dun at maayos naman ang pakikitungo sa kanila ng chef.

Nagbasa lang ako ng tela at pinahiran ang mainit niyang katawan. Kanina di siya makatulog pero ngayon medyo okay na at nakahawak siya sa kamay ko. I put the back of my hand on his neck and his still burning. "I'll get Van" I stood up but he stop me

"Stay"

"You know holding my hand won't heal you"

"....  Your always wicked"

"Atleast alam mo, kukuha nko ng gamot hintay kalang di naman ako pupunta sa ibang planeta"

"...Huh?"

"Stay here I'll get you medicine"

I left the room and went to find Luna Vanessa. And it's was like fate calling me and I met her on the hallway.  "Your blocking the way"

Literal na hinarang ko siya. Spreading my arms sideway, preventing her to past me.

"Can I asked a favor, your free today diba?"

"How did you know"

"Of course because I see your not with you countess so I might need a hand.."

"Stick to the points already" she said. Para akong sinampal sa mukha. She's too cold!

"Can you fetch the medicine, the Chancellor has cold, he get that when his out to the capital. May pandemiyang nagaganap ngayon sa labas ng palasyo. Kailangan malaman ito ng lahat sa palasyo.."

"That not my problem" she said and walked back. I didn't panick but smile while watching her walking away

I sighed heavily in dismally " I might need some help from lord Grimer'e..."  napatigil ako ng wala sa oras at natakot ako na para bang umikot ang ulo niya habang ang katawan niya nakatutok sa direksyon na daraanan niyan. The aura was screaming in intense horror.

"Come again?" Her voice was like a demon to my eardrum. Her smile was terrifying and my my entire humanity quiver. I want to run away but my body froze like I was glued on my spot. She walked towards me, furiously and pressed my jaw "What's your relationship with my fiance!"

"I'm not gonna tell you...." Natameme lang ako ng umupo siyang umiiyak sa sahig na parang maliit na bata.

"He .. he didn't keep his promise!!" She's bawling. Nataranta na ako at pinigilan ko Siya. I didn't find her to be cute. "His such a.."

"Ah.. actually" turns out she's not that cold.

After the Chancellor had his medicine, he fell fast asleep and his temperature slowly dropped. And I invited her to have a tea with me. Were sitting beside the window and talked about how we get into the palace and I wasn't expecting that Luna Crest and her already met. That fairy is sure are sneaky. She said that he met him about six days from now. And his always roaming around the palace and checking each halls. I sighed in reliefe because he was assigned to check every ladies on the room. His a head of all Eunuch of southern palace. Chamba lang kami magkita ni Luna Crest dahil may sarili kaming trabaho. Di naman daw matagal ang usapan nila pero lagi itong nakamasid sa kanya at may nangyari pang alitan sa kanila.

"Did he told you why we're here?"

"Yes and he didn't mention about you and my fiance.."

"You've got the wrong idea, I was given a tasked to help you go back home, We had a deal. You don't know how much he misses you dearly. He even hired man to built a sculpture of you and your portrait to remind him that your always his."

"That's all I wanted to hear" she said and put down her cup "The Junakie boy told me that there's a princess sneak on inside palace and she will able to freed me from the contractor. I was thrilled but couldn't believe that you were the same princess who happens to sabotage the marriage of princess Maridel with the Grand duke.."

".... Sabotage?" Siguro? She began to laughed and I tilt my head, scratching because I had no clue about what she is saying

"I'm just messing with you. Why so serious. He told me that the Bibliophile princess needed a money so she rushed herself to Glythe and had a deal with the boss and asked to double the price, how come a princess. Didn't have any.."

"Ganito kase yun" Medyo nahiya naman ako sa sinabi niyang I needed the money nagmumukha akong prinsesang bankrupt a "I want to make an orphanage"

"How come you don't have a budget to built an orphanage?"

"That's the problem. And also D'you remember the fairy you met that night?"

"Oh, you mean the lunarian? I feel like I must've involved with you. But I feel something that night about her that there's this flickering feeling that she will be the key to freed me from my contractor. I even recognizes her that day, she tried to hide herself on that charcoal, wiping it on her face just to sneak inside the ritual place. I know your motives and I was glad to hear the news that the captived had escaped"

That left me stunned "You knew? Thankfully you didn't exposed us"

"I might have locked myself with that woman but I never had the idea of turning my back to my Empress. I feel useless when I signed that contract and became an Erebus again. But I know somewhere far from here will find me. And that when I accidentally met her and now the princess who happens to work with our kind, it's very unlikely. Because royalties goals are to hunts us down yet your different from the rest, why is that?"

"I have my reason vidiana. Di ko masabi lahat yun Basta it's a long story, you'll know, but I have something to tell you and we're running out of time. D'you know where the study place of your countess? Maybe somewhere in here room. I can find away to freed you. My blood is willing to broke that chained of your"

"Would that be possible?"

"Yes caused the only way to freed you from your contractor is by offering a blood from a noble, and I'm a princess, and trust me the lord is waiting"

"I can't wait"
