Boring.
I am standing near the dark alley while looking at the crowds, yung iba ay napapatingin sakin at yung iba naman ay busy sa pakikipag-usap kay Serenity.
naalala ko nagsimula silang kausapin si Serenity dahil nga sa rumored cancellation of the engagement so they are preparing to have a better connection with her dahil nga sigurado silang siya ang papakasalan ng Crown Prince.
As expected of the story, after ng iskandalo ni Charlotte ay lumapit si Serenity at tinulungan yung servant at dahil don mas lalong nagalit si Charlotte.
May scene pa na sinampal niya si Serenity and it was the time when the Crown Prince show up. That's why I wounded my hand para walang sampalang magaganap
It's better to be in a low-key situation in order for me to be safe and to do my plan, my plan is to get rid of the engagement after that I will collect all my living expenses at lalayas ako sa mansion.
Who knows at baka makahanap pako ng mapapangasawa sa tabi-tabi.
Napahinga ako ng malalim at nakasimangot na pinagmasdan si Serenity.
Come to think of it, Serenity is a naive girl with a bright attitude. I mean naiinis talaga ako dati dahil lagi siyang nagpapaapi kay Charlotte and now I became Charlotte.
"The Emperor and Crown Prince Kallisto Theodore Crossus."
Tahimik ang lahat nang lumabas mula sa malaking pintuan ang Emperor at Crown Prince, all of them bowed. The Golden eyes suddenly caught my attention, it was beautiful na kahit ako ay hindi maalis ang tingin sa kanya.
Kallisto the Male lead. Right, having a golden eyes was the first thing that caught Serenity and fell in love. Seeing it visible in my eyes is really satisfying, pwede na akong mamatay na mapayapa.
Ah! right after the Prince showed up nung nasampal ni Charlotte si Serenity ay hinila niya sa stage si Serenity at don na cinancel ang engagement.
I'm not going to ruin myself as Charlotte so I'm going to act first before him.
Normally Charlotte would sit beside the Crown Prince and proudly enjoyed every event even if the Prince doesn't care.
Kaya pala lahat sila ay nakatingin sakin ngayon. The gaze from my father was cold and even from my brother who's standing beside Serenity.
I gave them a 'what-are-you-looking-at' look kaya nagsimula silang magbulungan.
Bumaling ang tingin ko kay Kallisto and he was not looking at me, he was looking at Serenity.
This man is really in love with her, mapapadali lang ang plano ko kung ganon.
Nagsimula akong maglakad at huminto sa gitna, seeing the Emperor and the Crown Prince in front of me while the crowds are looking at me.
How's my confidence hoomans?
"Glory upon the Corceigea and the unity of the Empire. I know that my presence is not important for this important event but I am asking in favor for the feelings of the Crown Prince, I am hereby asking to cancel our engagement."
The crowds went berserk, who would have thought that the obsessed Charlotte will be the one to cancel the engagement.
"Lady Laurier, do you know the consequences of acting impulsive?" the Emperor asked.
The emperor is known to be vicious especially when it comes to the empire, cancelling the engagement will give a big ruckus to the Empire especially as the daughter of the Grand Duke Laurier.
But as a reader of a novel I know that the Crown Prince will have a better plan in order to marry Serenity.
"Because I love someone else." that came out from my mouth that I didn't even think would come out.
I am confident of course and by looking at Kallisto is just like looking to a closed window. I don't have emotions seeing them, I'm not Charlotte okay?
"It would be better if we talked about it privately Lady Laurier." The Emperor was angry, I know.
But I don't care. I want to be free, and this is the best thing to do.
"If you can't accept my request your highness, then I would like to drink a poison in order for me to escape from this unwanted wedding."
Of course it's a lie, I'm trying to avoid my death here duh.
"Charlotte!" father shouted while looking at me with disbeliefs.
"Your highness, The Crown Prince doesn't love me. To bear a fruit with unhealthy tree will have no future so I, as the daughter of Grand Duke Laurier will never proceed to the marriage."
Marahas na hinawakan ng kapatid ko ang braso ko at masama akong tinignan.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
Binalik ko ang tingin ko sa Emperor at nagsalita ulit.
"My request may be a selfish act but I do know that I am not capable as the Empress. Your highness, please approve my request."
Nagtama ang paningin namin ni Kallisto ngunit hindi ko ito binigyan ng pansin, the Emperor will approve my request for sure.
"For what reason do I have to approve your request Lady Laurier?"
So he didn't believe that I love someone else oho.
"As a Lady born from the house of Laurier, the loyalty and dignity is written in my name but to enter a marriage with someone who doesn't love me is an insult to our Family's crest."
He didn't respond so I continued. "What would be the meaning of being the Mother of our nation if my husband doesn't want me to be the mother of his child."
Of course it's a fact, being an empress is not my cup of tea so I'm quitting Mr. Emperor
Nagulat ako dahil humalakhak ang Emperor, he was laughing like I was trying to make him laugh what a reaction.
"Child, having a good Dignity is a good example of a capable Empress. It would be in vain to lose such an opportunity to have someone like you Lady Laurier."
I was dumbfounded, my mind went blank because of what he said.
What the hell?!
"Now, now, let's all stop the ruckus and just enjoy the banquet. Let's all enjoy the good memories of my Wife as we celebrate her death anniversary."
The crowd started to feel light like nothing happened. Habang ako naman ay naiiyak na nanlalamig, bakit ganito?
Hinila ako palabas ni Abel at pabalang akong binitawan.
"What do you think you're doing Charlotte? Nagpapapansin ka nanaman ba? Aren't you tired of giving us problems?" he asked.
I know he's angry but I'm more devastated. I was rejected to gain freedom, why? I am giving them a happy life time so why I'm not able to gain freedom?
"Charlotte!"
I know, Charlotte is a bitch but I'm not Charlotte! I am Kehlani a student worker and earning money to enter college, I'm not her.
"Charlotte! You're getting—what, why are you crying?"
Napatingin ako sakanya, ah so I am crying. Mas lalo akong napaiyak na parang bata, realizing that I was the woman who have a destined red flag.
"I wanted to cancel the engagement," saad ko habang pilit na pinapatahan ang sarili.
Self please stop crying, kahit anong haplos ko sa mga luhang pumapatak ay hindi padin ako tumitigil sa pag-iyak. I am really frustrated because I am Charlotte, I am destined to die.
"I want to be free."
Mas lalong lumakas ang iyak ko dahil sa sinabi ko, I want to go back. Even if my life was hard I'm still happy because I have freedom.
I found myself getting embraced. It was a cold shoulder yet I felt warmth from it, it was comforting.
marahan niyang hinaplos ang likod ko habang humihikbi ako. Please let me go back or just let me die in peace.
"I'm sorry, please don't cry anymore. Brother is sorry Charlotte I'm sorry," ani niya sa malambing na tono.
Because of the tiredness I lost my consciousness on his embrace.
Buhat ni Abel ang kapatid nang maabutan si Kallisto, the cold gaze from the man that Serenity loves makes him envious. Bumaba ang tingin ni Kallisto sa babaeng nawalan ng malay, he was going to ask about the commotion that Charlotte did. In his point of view it was just a plain actions to seek attention from him. But seeing the woman he hates being carried by its brother is a surprised. Abel didn't give a word and just walk silently carrying his sister. He knows that the Crown Prince hates Charlotte and he hates her too. Pero nang umiyak sa mismong harapan niya ang kapatid niya bumalik sa alaala niya ang mga panahong tanging siya Lang ang kakampi ni Charlotte, when Charlotte was always crying because of loneliness, wounds, and even when she was hungry she would asked him to get her favorite food. When she cried, she was asking to be free and then he real
"where am I?"It was darkness, I was alone while walking through the path with no ending. Am I dead now? Is this the reality?"Charlotte."A voice came out from nowhere, it was a woman's voice. It was like drifting me on the outer space to float."Charlotte."A light appeared where the voice came from, is that heaven? Sinusundo niyo na ba ako? Buti naman."Live Charlotte, and everything that's yours will always be yours. No man can change the prophecy, you are the gift that will give the story the true ending.""You are the end and the beginning.""I don't want to be Charlotte, I want to go back." I said.I know I am hopeless, but maybe she will let me go back. I want to be me and not Charlotte, I'm not from this world and I will not be her."I'm not f
First, I need to know what happened to Charlotte before I entered her body. I tried to ask Cecelia kung may nangyare ba sakin o may mga actions bako na hindi niya maintindihan but in the end sinabi niya na mas kapani-panibago daw ako ngayon. Mag isa ako sa garden, pinaalis ko muna si Cecelia and told her to call me when something came up. I was planning on writing a letter for the Crown Prince but thinking the situation of the both of us I think kahit pagbukas Lang ng letter ay di niya gagawin. I've been reading books about Divine Power and magic. It was said in the book that both are constant and connected to the thread of life. Pwedeng pumasok sa nakaharang na linya ang Divine power in order for the life to hold it, but magic can only takes the second stair of the castle of life. You can't enter other's soul figure just by usi
It's already been a month since I became Charlotte at sa isang buwan ay wala ako ginawa para makatakas ako. Not because I wanted to but the truth is.... "You can't really go out Lady Charlotte, the order from the Young Master is to prevent you from going out without his permission." I JUST CAN'T GO OUT! Since the day he told me that he will help me about the engagement, that was the time I lost my literal Freedom. At first akala ko ay okay lang at baka nga may problema but days, weeks and even a month has passed but I still can't go out. Well, I tried other methods to go out. I tried to jump from the window, disguised as a servant and even tried to seduce a knight but still walang nangyare! "Idiot Abel I will really kill you." I am in the middle of killing Abel inside my mind when Cecelia entered my r
"Do you know why the house of Laurier was chosen to be engaged with my Son? Because the Loyalty and power of Laurier can even withstand the Empire." the Emperor said.Abel asked for the cancellation of Charlotte's marriage with the Crown Prince but the Emperor didn't give him a chance nor hear his explanation.The Crown Prince who kept hearing news about Abel's request didn't last long, hindi niya na nakayanan ang paulit-ulit na mga salita.Just hearing Charlotte's name makes him angry and wanted to ripped her head.Hindi niya pa rin napapatawad ang ginawa ng babae, muntik nang mawala sakanya si Serenity dahil sa ginawa ni Charlotte.He wanted to end Charlotte's life badly pero hindi niya magawa dahil sa pabor ang kanyang ama sa Laurier."Then how about I'll make Charlotte as the Queen?" Kastillo who had enough with the 'cancellati
"I told you it's my fault! Don't blame Cecelia. Pinilit ko lang siya na sumama sakin, please spare her brother." After I met the Crown Prince, inabutan ko si Cecelia habang hawak hawak ng mga knights ng Laurier. Nagpupumiglas si Cecelia but she can't get away from them. The knights was ordered to escort me, Abel knows that I left the mansion and Cecelia was punished because of me. He didn't bother listening to me, he was just looking at me with his cold gaze. "Brother please, let Cecelia go. Hindi dapat siya yung pinarusahan mo... I should be the one instead of her." I begged again. He locked me inside his room, sitting on his bed while he's sitting on the couch. I tried to explain everything but he didn't listen, he's just looking at me with his cold gaze. I don't understand him, hindi ko alam kung bakit niya ako kinukulong.
The rabbit jump out from the bed and turned into a human, it was Ice.He can't explain what he found out. The woman who's sleeping peacefully right in front of his eyes is not Charlotte, he heard all of it and he can't believe it.Hindi niya alam kung pano niya sasabihin kay Kallisto ang nalaman niya, he's not sure how to report it or rather he didn't want to report it.The woman was satisfied just by telling her secrets to someone, kahit ikamatay niya pa pagkatapos niyang sabihin ang lahat ay okay Lang sakanya dahil gumaan ang loob niya.He felt comfortable and wanted to stay longer, he became curious about the woman from the other world.Gusto niya pang malaman ang mga bagay na bago sa pandinig niya, gusto niya pang magtagal sa piling ng babae.The hatred he felt towards Charlotte suddenly disappeared because of what he discovere
Kastillo who jumped on Charlotte's bed while he's in rabbit form saw the woman who's still sleeping. Rinig pa ang konting hilik nito at maliit na nakabukas ang bibig.What the hell? He wiggles his body and jump for how many times to wake up the Lady, hindi na siya makapaghintay sa kung anong meron sa babae kaya kahit Hindi pa sumisinag ang araw ay gusto niya na itong gisingin. Sa ikahuling talon niya ay napalakas kaya naman natapon siya at bumagsak sa sahig.*bonkHe's getting annoyed, having a little feet with a long ears makes him pissed. Kung alam niya Lang na ganito pala kahirap ang ginagawa ni Ice, he wouldn't bother telling Ice to watch over Serenity and Charlotte using different forms. "Ice?"Napako ang tingin niya sa babaeng kakabangon Lang, kusot-kusot nito ang mga mata haba
