Kapitel 11: Chapter 11
RAISE THE GLASS!
[Snow White]
Childhood? I don't really remember...
Wala namang espesyal sa pagkabata ko bukod sa muntikan na akong mapatay nang ina ko.
I thought having my father is fine. But as time passes by, hinahanap ko na kung anong pakiramdam nang kumpleto ang pamilya.
"For this month, you're all aware of the competition right?" Bungad na bungad nang guro namin pagkalapag na pagkalapag niya nang mga libro.
"Many people from different Kingdom will be watching. Dahil ito rin ang pagkakataon para makita nila kung anong meron sa inyo." It's been weeks simula nang mag-umpisa kami ni Lady Rebel sa pag-eensayo.
I can say that I improved.
And that deal... It's been days since Prince City and company proposed that deal to me.
At hanggang ngayon ay wala pa akong response sa inaalok nila. I can't help but to think about Prince City's words back then.
"You'll also hurt her in the future when she became her knight."
"You can't run from fate that is destined to happen Princess Snow."
I don't know what did he mean by that.
Is it really that bad if Princess Victoria inherits the throne? Sa pagkakaalam ko ay pinakamababa ang ikawalong kaharian kung saan naninirahan si Prinsesa Victoria.
But even so, defeating one Kingdom means rising from the bottom.
"I guess all of you will do your best from now on. This competition is just for new beginner student." Some of them looks at me as if they're ready to accept that I'm going to lose.
"I hope you'll take this competition seriously. This is a game where, when you win, you'll stay in this Academy. And when you lose, take the consequences and LEAVE THIS ACADEMY IMMEDIATELY."
Hindi man niya ipahalata ay nararamdaman kong nasakin ang tingin nang gurong ito.
"It's rude to set your eyes on the princess, Mr. Phoenix."
Napatikhim ang guro namin nang bagot na magsalita si Lady Rebel. "Well, I'm not pointing anyone–"
"But you're looking at her." Tawang sambit ni Lord Travelyan. "Are you saying that Princess Snow will lose this fight?" Tumahimik ang paligid nang sumeryoso ang tanong ni Lady Rebel.
"As you can see, we can't tell–"
"Are you saying that I'm not a good instructor?" Napaatras ang guro namin. Nagsimula ang bulung-bulungan sa paligid.
Tila ba hindi sila makapaniwala sa salitang lumalabas sa bibig ni Lady Rebel.
"Of course, you're a wonderful instructor Lady Rebel. You're my outstanding student after all!"
"Then, I guess Mr. Phoenix should keep his mouth shut. Staring at the Princess of the fourth Kingdom means execution."
"Well, I'm not doing anything–"
"Mr. Phoenix should apologize to her majesty." Dahan-dahan itong tumingin sakin.
"I'm sorry for my rude behaviour Princess Snow."
"If I lose, I'll quit." Hindi ko alam kung bakit ko nasabi ang mga salitang iyon. Pagtama nang tingin namin ni Lady Rebel ay mukhang dismayado siya sa sinabi ko.
"But if I win, you'll beg on your knee for forgiveness." I'm not immature. I just wanted to end this discrimination among women being a swordsman.
"Or Mr. Phoenix is scared to accept the Princess's challenge?" Sarkastikong sambit ni Lord Travelyan.
"My eyes are good at judging. I will not lose. You know the rules Lady Ainsworth. You can't teach the Princess anymore. You're one of the judge after all." Kumpiyansang sambit ni Mr. Phoenix at pinagpatuloy na ulit ang klase.
It's silly of me to set that kind of proposal. But It's the only way to end this fear.
"You just improve a little yet you have that kind of guts. I'm impressed." Mabilis na natapos ang pagtuturo kaya maaga kaming nakatakas mula sa nakakasakal na klase.
"I thought you're disappointed." Napabuntong hininga naman siya bago tumingin sa harapan.
"I think I'm worried than disappointed." She looks at me as she smiles.
"But I trust you, Princess Snow. You're the strongest among all Princesses that I've ever met." If there's anything that I need right now...
It's just those comforting words coming from her mouth.
"You can achieve anything if you believe in yourself."
"I'm your instructor after all. Alam kong hindi mo 'ko bibiguin."
"I have to go Princess Snow. Please join the circle and rest your mind."
She bows slowly as she left me in the hands of Lady Eunacia. "Nagiging close na kayo. And that's a good thing isn't it?"
"Lady Rebel just cheers me up."
"Ohh, it's because the competition is near right?"
Habang lumalakad kami ay ramdam ko ang mga magagaan na hanging dumadampi sa balat ko.
Pagkaupo namin sa lamesa ay nagsimulang mag-ingay ang bibig ni Lord Travelyan at ikinuwento pa talaga ang paghahamon ko sa isang guro na ikinatawa ni Prinsesa Victoria.
"Really? You challenged him? That's impressive!"
"I trust Princess Snow's ability." Ngiti naman sakin ni Lady Xiu. "After all, Lady Rebel is indeed Princess Snow's instructor." Natatawang sambit naman ni Lord Strauss.
"Speaking of Lady Rebel, where is she?" Tanong naman ni Lord Harace kaya tumingin silang lahat sakin.
"She said, she's going somewhere." At hindi niya rin sinabi kung saan. "Must be on the student council." Sambit naman ni Lord Travelyan.
"She's a part of the student council?" Tanong ko na ikinabuntong hininga ni Lady Eunacia tsaka nagsalita.
"She's the representative of swordsman department after all."
"We sure look up to Lady Rebel." Sambit naman ni Lady Scarce.
"Oh my, I remember you being rude towards Lady Rebel." Sambit ni Lady Xiu habang nakatakip nang pamaypay ang mukha niya.
"Bury my attitude on the past Lady Xiu." Pairap pang sambit ni Lady Scarce.
"So, what's your plan?" Tanong sakin ni Lord Travelyan. "Do my best?" Kailangan pa ba talagang itanong ang bagay na ya'n?
"Can you beat them?" Tanong naman sakin ni Prinsesa Victoria. "I'm not a student of Lady Rebel for nothing."
"THAT'S THE SPIRIT!" Lord Travelyan raise his glass as he looks at us. "Cheers for the advance victory of Princess Snow!"
Ang akala ko ay babaliwalain lang nang ibang estudyante ang pagsigaw ni Lord Travelyan pero mukhang nakuha niya talaga ang atensyon nila.
"Cheers for the victory!" Tayo ni Prinsesa Victoria na sumasabay sa kalokohan ni Lord Travelyan.
Unexpectedly, all students raise their glasses as they shout the word 'VICTORY'
