Lies, Hidden from a Handsome Beggar

Prologue

Sa isang malawak na garden kung saan sa gitnang bahagi nito ay may nakatayo doon na isang transaparent greenhouse kung saan iba’t-ibang uri ng mga halaman ang naroon. May mamahaling lamesa at mga upuan ang naroon kung saan dalawang middle age businessman and powerful person ang magkaharap na nakaupo doon habang umiinom ng tsaa. Ang isa ay ang Prime Minister ng United Kingdom kung saan isa ito sa nirerespeto sa bansa at kinikilalang mahusay na lider, ito ang Prime Minister na malapit sa palasyo ng royal family sa UK, ang Vellejo Royal family. Ang isang kasama naman nito ay isang retired assassin agent na may malalakas parin na kapit sa mga makakapangyarihang tao at nagmamay-ari ng pinakamalaking agricultural company hindi lang sa pilipinas kundi sa iba’t-ibang panig pa ng mundo.

“Your grandson leave this country for a temporary freedom, does he know the obligation that soon will be given to him when the time comes he needs to execute with the person you were serving?” malumanay na tanong nang kaharap nito na maituturing na malapit na kaibigan ng Prime Minister.

“I haven’t told him yet, the right time hasn’t come yet. I first let him do the things he wanted to do before I brought him back here to the UK, knowing the obligation he needs to do will make him more rebellious to me.”sagot ng Prime Minister na ikinatango ng kaibigan nito na kinuha ang tasa ng tsaa nito at doon itinutok ang tingin.

“You need to make him ready in accepting that obligation he will face soon, he will have a thing that needs sacrifices and needs to become an evil in order to do the role soon to be given to him, the responsibility he will never expected.”saad ng kaniyang kaibigan bago nito ininom ang tsaa na hawak nito.

“How about your grandson? Is he already done to do the things he needs to do in order to destroy the Prince of UK and make the existence of my highness vanish for eternity?”tanong ng Prime Minister na bahagyang ikinangiti ng kaibigan nito matapos makainom ng tsaa.

“Why asking me that, my friend? Do you want to know my plans in taking down that dangerous prince that you give your loyal service?”sambit na tanong nito na siya namang ikinangiti ng Prime Minsiter.

“I am loyal to my highness, but I still respect our friendship so I won’t meddle nor tell to my lord your plan in taking his throne down and erasing the existence of my lord is a lot of work to do. I just wanted to know the progress of your plan because I know my lord, he’s horn is more than dangerous to yours.”pahayag ng prime minister na ikinababa ng kaibigan nito sa tasa ng tsaa nito sa mesa nila at nagdekwatrong sumandal sa kinauupuan nito.

“I know that it is difficult to overthrow the one you loyally serve, that prince is clever and cunning. Taking him down will not be easy so I plan it well, I still have a lot to do. We’re just taking our time, like you said that kid’s horn is more dangerous than mine that’s why kailangan ko ‘yung paghandaang putulin at wala pa ang tamang oras para gawin ‘yun ”ani ng kaibigan ng Prime Minister.

“Just do what you want Victor, but even your my closest friend, I can’t help you in doing what you want. Just do remember that you have another enemy to take down who’s after in taking the crown of my highness. Favio Russo, has a strong desire to obtain the throne of my highness that you’re aiming for and your grandson wants to erase.”sambit na paalala ng Prime Minister sa kaniyang kaibigan.

“I can easily erase kill him so he won’t be a hindrance on my plans, but where’s the fun on that? Besides, my unico grandson can wipe him out but for now, he doesn’t want to play with him for now. He’s enjoying his time in the things that gives enjoyment to him. Hinahayaan ko din muna ang aking apo dahil pag dumating ang tamang panahon at dumating na ang oras para burahin na namin ang linya ng lahi ng pinaglilingkuran mo ng tapat, kailangan ay handa na siya.”paliwang na sagot nito na ikinatango ng Prime Minister.

“I hope my grandson and your grandson can be friends In the future, Ruhk has strong personality ngunit kaya niyang makipag sabayan sa apo mo.”pagmamalaki ng Prime Minister na bahagyang ikinatawa ng kaibigan nito.

“I’m sure they can be subordinate in the future after he extinct the royal family you are serving, but as friends? My grandson is unlikely to have such a connection with your grandson, but let's see in the future if they will meet.”

“We’re friends for a long time but you haven’t introduce your grandson to me, your too selfish, Victor.”ani ng Prime Minister na ngiting ikinakuha lang ng kaibigan nito sa tasa ng tsaa nito at bago tinitigan ang Prime Minister.

“Like what you said, we’re friends for a very long time but we became friends when you were already a loyal servant of that young prince. I’m just amazed at him because even he knew that we are close friends, he didn’t do anything to you.”

“Because he knew that I’m loyal to him, besides our family has a big role in his plans and I’m trusting him.”sagot ng Prime Minister sa kaibigan na bahagyang ikinaseryoso ng tingin nito sa kaniya.

“What if maging matagumpay akong burahin sa mundong ito ang pinaglilingkuran mo? Are you going to kill me?”

“I won’t interfere in your plan, Victor but if my lord wants me to deal with you our friendship can turn into enemies. I’m just doing the things I was sworn in the grave of my ancestors who are loyal to the royal family, especially to my dangerous majesty.”sagot n Prime Minister.

“Then, mukhang sa bandang huli ang pagka-kaibigan natin ay maisasantabi para sa kaniya-kaniya nating layunin. Then, let’s wait that time that it will happen.”saad ng kaibigan nito bago ininom ang tsaa nito.

“Yeah! Tumatanda na din tayo but hindi man tayo ang magharap maaring ang mga apo natin ang magkatagpo sa hinaharap at gagawin na nila ang mga dapat nilang gawin.”saad ng Prime Minister na ikinatango ng kaniyang kaibigan.

“And while that day hasn’t happened yet, let’s enjoy our friendship before it disappears.”pahayag ng Prime Minister na sabay nilang ikinatawa sa kinauupuan nila habang ineenjoy ang kanilang bagong usapan at ang kanilang mga iniinom na tsaa.
