Chapter 10-MY LADIES II

A L E X

My butt fell off the ground with a scream and my heart keeps on palpating as he just pop out of nowhere. He scares the hell out of me! I began panicking as he slowly approached me while I'm crawling back. My ladies-in-waiting began to hissed on the man and secured me, giving him a hint of warning if he go any further. I became shocked as they pulled out their knives on their pockets. I didn't knew they have them all the time, the heck! I thought I was the one who has carrying such thing with me. "Please don't tell me you'll gonna kill him?!"

"Depends" said 0092 and aligned the knife on her nose. Stepping back her right foot. Like she's about to attack the man within a few seconds if he tries to move a muscle. But the man remain forbearance even he knows she's about to attack him, He removes his hood, it was dim and I couldn't see his bare face, I squinted my eyes to deal with the darkness. He has that turned up nose and thin lips. Even in the midst of the darkness I can still see those dark blue eyes he has. His face change into confusion. At the beginning he wasn't armed, he has no plan of attacking us. The children around him hid because of us "Benzylliette how?" There was an anxious paused

My ladies-in-waiting in waiting face began to wonder about him and put their knives away. 0056 approached him without any hesitation. 0091 and other were frightened but 0056 was calm and looked at him closer "Brother?"

"Huh?!!"

➖➖➖

We gone home fast cause we don't wanna upset the king and worries him for not returning before the moon comes out.

But I promise to go back to the tunnel so 0056 can visit his brother. I didn't tell her that she'll be meeting him. Before we gone back I secretly talked to him about them unite again. 0056 burst in tears and it was a tears of joy. "My brother is alive!! My brother is alive!!" She cried with full of joy after they gone to a separate path. But her face turned frowned and narrowed her green eyes outside the balcony "What's wrong?" ask 0034 and she didn't look at her but rather gazing the gloomy moon.

"I couldn't see him again.."

I face her and grabbed her chin so she can face me and I gave her a smile of hope "We'll see him again tomorrow"

She shouted in excite but close her mouth, it might disturbed the other people on the next door, as those slip on my mouth she embraced me so tight and I can hear her heart beat but aside from that It's sounds like a music playing together with the palpating heart.

"Thank you, thank you.."

I shushed her while patting her head like a helpless child. "It's been a hundred years your highness. When the war began 0056 was still a halflings on that time and his brother is the only one who send her to the orphanage. With the help of the minister she was later on adopted by some nobles and her brother disappeared and never came back. She had a thought that maybe he died but..

"Thank your highness, your curiosity drives us to here and 0056 finally unite with his long lost brother. His name was Tanazite. You didn't knew how much she misses him. I thank you, your highness " said 1162

That was so touching ugh, "You don't have to thank me, it's nothing" Their code names is unique but it still bogging me because it's not even a name. I want to give their names a real one. But aside from that, giving them name will changes everything. And those eyes have given me an idea.

"I want to give all your name if you won't be mad at me"

"Of course not your highness but.." 0056 touch her shoulder and her face cheer up from worrying. " It was just.."

"It's okay we can trust our princess" said 1162

Giving them their names is actually a signed of contract. A bond of trust will forever be remain even if it's crime they will vowed to follow my command. I don't want to hold them as an hostage or slave, but I want to keep them safe away from the people who wants to gave them a contract and later on turn them to slavery. It wasn't possible because they are fairies in disguised. Even the king himself doesn't knew about it.

The minister who help this fairies are actually a half pixie in disguise too. He helps thousands of fairies live normally together with human, If they signed those contract they won't be afraid to show themselves in the sun. Rather than running away from the wrath of man and be burn alive and Forever live in fears without even seeing the beauty of the dawn.

But those contract are not use by force. The only person who can give those types of contacts are must be born in royalties. Which I'm gonna freed them from having the fear of sun. "I want to help you.. only if you trust me"

"Our lives is already in hell your highness. Even if you want to kill us then we have no choice.."

"Hey that's cruel! My god di ko magagawa Yun!" They pursed their lips as I raised my voice "I don't want you to be burn alive in the sun. And those human will be curious why you always hid behind those cloak. Think about it, If someone grabbed your. cloak and it's mid day then what will you do? Diba Wala?"

"You know about our weakness"

"Of course I'm not blind. I want to freed you from those fear. I want you to see the world outside this walls from keeping you in. Maybe one day if our path parted you won't be afraid to travel with your love ones"

"I trust you ,your highness I'm just afraid of the future"

"Don't be afraid. The future is bright and I know that" Only if I will not mess one chapter. That's why I need them to help me and they bowed gently. Without saying a word "0056, from now on your name will be Emerald, despite for having those beautiful eyes your also embodied that gem on you" I saw her gasped but only a second and those mark on her neck disappeared and turn into an emerald like tattoo.

"I'm free!" She gasped in disbelief and everyone's eyes filled with tears.

"0092 your purple radiant eyes suit the names of amethyst. 0091 your Sapphire" The other three came closer to me and I saw those hopes in their faces "0034 your rare for being an albino your name should be pearl. Your beautiful despite being a bashful one" I turn my face to 1162, a girl with a few word but still amused by those yellow eyes "Carnelian will be your name"

The rooms ambience became light. The pressure seems gone and we're all excited for tomorrow. Emerald couldn't wait for that moment and stayed awake watching outside my balcony.

I gained their trust and I freed them. Carnelian open the door and pearl came in with a trolley of dessert. We enjoy every bite until they fell asleep. Emerald and I stayed awake while sipping on our tea outside, star gazing but my attention wasn't on the star but her, her eyes were glowing even her tattoo, synchronizing together.

"Thank you once again your majesty.." she said solemnly and face me.

"Don't mention it" I said then paused a while, maybe it's better to start gathering data tonight " You're from Benzylle, home of the rarest gem fairies. tell me about your cousins, The Luna.."

Her hands flinched, it must a sensitive topic to start with "Your highness don't hurt them" those words had me spill my tea.

"Hurt them? Mukha ba akong criminal?!"

"I didn't say that it's because there's a history that start all of our traumas. Aside from hating human, we promise to stay hidden. We are the eyes of our cousins that's why they can escape Estherian without them being caught..." she close her mouth and her mouth keeps talking even she tries to covered them and even bit her tongue.

My lips parted to hear it clearly. As i gained their trust, those secrets are now revealed. I was on the market place. there's no sign of a boy who was almost hit by a Luna. But the story change. I encountered his brother even I didn't wrote that part. The story change. I face her and her tongue was bleeding. I felt pity and woke Carnelian to heal her. Aside from have different code. Each fairies who has code started from 11... Then this fairies secretly possessed a healing abilities, the so called doctors of Zendalia. The 00 are the Gem fairies but their Lord died and it's head been long lost gone. The man who did this was Inavie's ancestor.

Medyo naalala ko na Ang kaunting parte ng nobela. Salamat utak may lamang Karin. Dahil na rin sa ininom mong green tea nakapag relax Ang utak ko. But as soon as Carnelian heal emerald, I chuckles as she began to realized something is wrong and she whirled back at me in shocked. The yellow light disappeared and she hid her hands on her back. It's too late for her to find a lame excuses to that. Even if she tries to make any excuses. I still won't buy them, It was because I knew her little secrets. Syempre I'm the author

"You didn't see anything"

"Nah you don't have to excuse that type of ability to me. It's better to keep it hidden or else other human might take advantage to you.."

"Something is wrong about you your highness since that time you left. And How come you knew that I can heal emerald?"

I slightly grin and pretended to yawn and stretch my arms "It's a secret then" I winked at her and began to yawned but before leaving them I out my finger on my lips "I'm about to make history. Help me stop the war"

"But.."

"I know those eyes, there's hatreds on them. If I just sat here doin nothing then your people is doom. I need help from one of the Luna to help me with this.. I can't trust those guards even General Zhyperbliss"

"She's telling the truth" I saw pearl's eye glowed and turn back to normal. Damn she's awake! "Aside from those words that slip from her mouth. I senses a soul whose striving to survive.." I shushed her and she still continued "The princess can be trusted"

Emerald heave a deep sighed and kneel before me "You'll have my trust, my freedom and my honor your highness. Save my people"

"I trust you for becoming our guide and burn those history that tore us apart" said Carnelian while kneeling and putting her palm on her chest "I'll help you find a Luna to be your guide. But it's now.." she didn't continue and turn her gaze to the town. "His coming"

"Then let's hunts some Luna"
