Capítulo 34: Princess of the Underworld
I smiled shyly, "Parang ang hirap naman po ng favor niyo."
Umiling siya, "You have hypnotizing powers and the ability to see ghosts, hindi ba? That would qualify to become our daughter, at bukod doon, maari ka pa naming bigyan ng kapangyarihan."
Tumango naman ako, "But it would be risky, Goddess. Isa pa po, bakit ako?"
She held my chin and studied my features, "You look like me, and your eyes, hair remind Hades.' "
"The Olympians would not doubt it," pagpapatuloy niya pa.
I raised an eyebrow, "Pero nakita na ako ng ibang Olympian, ano naman pong ipapaliwanag niyo sa kanila?"
"Simple," she answered, "Nawawala ka naming anak, at hindi muna namin inannounce sa lahat because it would be a shock to you and all, kaya't hihintayin ka muna naming maging isang ganap na Semideus before we turn you into the Princess of the Underworld."
Makes sense, "Bakit niyo po ba ako gustong magpanggap? You have been doing well without an heir or heiress, Goddess."
Umiling siya at tinap ang kaniyang mga daliri sa table, "I may be the Queen now, pero ipapatalsik nila ako, ni Zeus, kung wala akong nagiging offspring kay Hades. Because that would be unworthy of the title, Melizabeth. Kaya't para mapanatili sa'king pwesto, you must pretend for me."
"Hindi magtatagal magiging tunay ka rin naming anak. No one would know, Melizabeth. You would be a Goddess, and and be granted immortality and powers. Ikaw ang magiging heiress," sabi pa niya.
Napangisi ako nang maliit, "Parang ang bilis mo naman po akong pagkatiwalaan, Goddess Persephone."
"Call me mother, please Melizabeth," sabi niya kaya't nagulat ako, "Hindi mo ba natandaan ang aking sinabi kanina? We have been watching you since you were little. Alam ko ang totoong pakay mo rito sa Olympian World."
Then why take me in and become my ally, Persephone?
Tumawa siya, and this time, it wasn't a sweet laugh, and rather, an evil one.
"Olympians have been cruel to me, darling. Life has been too to you. Hindi ba't mas maganda kung mayroon kang malakas na kakampi sa tabi mo? Katulad ko, Melizabeth?" Tanong pa niya.
Ngayon ay hindi ko na natago pa ang masama kong ngisi, "How can I trust you? You are Hades' wife, baka mamaya ay bigla nalang akong madala sa Afterlife."
"Hindi mo naman ako kailangan pagkatiwalaan, anak. But I know you trust one of my persons," nagtaas kilay naman ako sa kaniyang sinabi.
The doors of her chamber suddenly opened, and I was shocked by who was by the door. Thanatos. "Pumapayag ka na ba, Melizabeth? You'd greatly benefit from this."
I shut my eyes at saka nagdesisyon, "Fine, gagawin ko."
Minulat ko ang aking mata, at nakita ang ngiti sa mga mata ni Thanatos. Yes, I trust this person so much.
Pero sa pagkakataong ito, tama bang pinagkatiwalaan ko siya?
Lalo na't ngayong nalaman ko palang binabantayan niya ako under her orders, and not out of sympathy and care for me. She has been honing me to be her powerful persons sa pamamagitan ni Thanatos. Matagal na palang planado ang lahat.
Kakampi ba talaga kita?
