Scarlet Academy II: The Legendary Princess

Chapter 01: Meet Her

I'm currently here in my room, doing nothing, just waiting for my parents' order. Sabi kasi nila na may mission daw silang ibibigay sa akin with my friends pero hindi nila sinabi kung ano. Maghintay lang daw kami.

Napatingin ak sa pinto nang may kumatok.

"Come in."

As soon as I said that, the door swung open and my little cute brother get inside of my room and hug me tight, I hug him back and kiss his forehead.

He's Ethan Marquez, my little brother. His power is yet unidentified, while me? You will find out soon, but I'm sure that you have an idea what my powers is and I assure you that I'm strong. Syempre, ako pa! Si mommy kaya ang nag-training sa akin.

"Ate, I heard mom and dad will give you a mission again with your friends," he said. He's so cute though. If I'm a carbon copy of mom. Well, he's a carbon copy of dad. He's just five years old.

"Yeah, Ethan, and I will be leaving soon." I said to him.

"You're leaving again, ate? When?" He asked. He's really cute at hindi ako magsasawang pagmasdan ang cute niyang mukha at pisilin ang malulusog niyang mga pisngi.

"I don't know when, Ethan, and since hindi pa aalis si ate, do you want me to make some cookies for you?" I suggested.

"Yes ate!" He said, hyper. Hindi ko na natiis at pinisil ko na ang dalawa niyang pisngi. Nag-pout naman siya kaya natawa ako.

"Ate naman eh. Ang sakit mo kayang mamisil." He said while pouting. Haha! This boy.

"Let's go," sabi ko at hinawakan ang cute niyang kamay at sabay na lumabas ng kwarto.

Pagkarating namin sa kusina ay puro mga maids and butlers ang sumalubong sa amin.

"Ethan? Do you know where's mom and dad?" I asked Ethan.

"Butler Shin told me that they're be out for a while to visit uncle Xander and auntie Keisha." he answered. Butler Shin is Ethan's personal butler.

"Sit still, okay?" I said to Ethan when we arrived to the dining hall.

"Okay, ate." sabi niya at umupo sa pwesto niya.

Nagsimula na akong mag-bake ng mga cookies. My brother really loves my made cookies.

Few minutes later.

"Here," nakangiti kong nilapag sa mesa ang mga bi-nake na cookies ko. He started eating it while giggling.

"It's so cute and delicious ate, as always. Thank you!" He said happily. I just smiled at him. I really love this boy no matter what.

"Thank you for the cookies ate, I really love it. I love you." he said then hug me. He's so sweet.

"Thank you Ethan, and I love you too." i said and hug him back.

Pagkatapos niyang ubusin ang mga bi-nake kong cookies para sa kanya ay napagpasyahan muna naming pumunta sa garden dito sa palasyo para pampalipas oras.

We're playing and playing until we're both exhausted. Kapag kasama ko talaga itong si Ethan balik bata ako.

Maya maya pa ay dumating na sina mom and dad. Lumapit naman kami ni ethan sa kanila at niyakap sila.

"How's your day?" Tanong sa amin ni dad.

"Okay lang, dad." sagot naming pareho ni Ethan.

"King, Queen, Royalties, the dinner is ready," one of our maid said. We just nod at her and proceed to the dining area.

Kahit matanda na sila mom and dad hindi parin kumukupas ang nga itsura nila. It's not that matanda na talaga. 'Yung tipo na nasa Mid30's palang.

Pagkarating namin sa dining table ay umupo na kami sa mga pwesto namin. Alangan namang tumayo lang diba? -.-

Tahimik lang kaming kumakain at tanging tunog lang ng mga utensils na ginagamit namin ang maririnig sa dining hall. Like mom and dad, ayoko rin ng maingay.

"Ethan," tawag ni mommy kay Ethan.

"Yes, mom?" He asked.

"Go straight to your room after this." mom said.

"Okay mom," Sabi ni Ethan. After that ay wala na ulit nagsalita sa amin.

Pagkatapos naming kumain ay nag-stay muna ako sa living room, hinihintay ko sila, 'yung mga kaibigan ko. Hindi kasi i-di-discuss nila mom and dad ang mission namin kung hindi kami kompleto.

"Hi, Jay-jay!" Psh, speaking of them. Nandito na po sila and seriously?! Jay-jay?! Tsk! Simula noong bata pa kami ay jay-jay na ang tawag nila sa akin, pati ba naman ngayon? Err--- what's with that name?

Sila po pala sina Marky, Maine, Jiro, Julia and hence, my friends.

"Tsk, Let's go," saad ko at naunang nagtungo sa office nila mom and dad. Naramdaman ko naman ang presensya nilang sumunod sa akin. Pagkarating ko sa harap ng pintuan sa office nila mom ay kumatok muna ako ng tatlong beses before entering with my friends. Pagkapasok namin sa loob ay nakita naming nag-uusap sila mom and dad. Napalingon naman sila sa direksyon namin.

"Take a sit," sabi ni mom kaya umupo na kami.

"I'll go straight to the point, you need to find this young man and old woman." sabi ni mommy sabay latag ng pictures sa mini table.

"This young man is Emanuel, a night vision, and this old woman is Alice, a sorcerer." saad ni mom.

Ang mage na may night vision ay kayang makakita ng malinaw in a dark place, kahit gaano pa kadilim.

"They both lived in a same province in mortal world pero magkaiba ang barangay na tinitirhan nila," Dad added the info.

"You need to leave tomorrow at 5:00 a.m, good luck and be careful." sabi ni mom.

We bowed once again before leaving their office. Hinatid ko muna ang nga kaibigan ko kung nasaan ang mga sundo nila bago ako nagtungo sa kwarto ko at ginawa ang aking night routines bago humiga sa aking kama. Bukas ng madaling araw nalang ako maghahanda ng mga kakailanganin ko sa mission.
