MRS RÓDRÍGUÉZ - EPISODE 97

Those were her mother’s last words.

Fight……
She wiped her face as she stood away from her mother’s corpse.

“We are so sorry, Tarsia’. ”

Tarsia’ sniffed,.. her backpalm wiped her swollen face .

She nodded to their condolences. But that still didn’t change the fact that her mother was no more.

” All my life, I’ve always wished to spend quality time with her,.. but it seems wishes doesn’t always come true as they say. … My mother wants me to fight.
And I fight with every drop of my blood.

I will use the blade of Trixon against gueneviere if that will cost my life,.. then so be it. ”

She was dead serious.
She meant those words.

The four women stared at each other without a word.

But somehow, they felt too grateful for such a decision.

“Let’s head back to the palace. ”

****

” Tarsia’,..”

Sally called out. She quickened her steps to catch up with Tarsia’ who was already on a wait for her.

“I heard what you plan to do,.. for the kingdom,… And your friend. ” .

Tarsia’ nodded.
Her eyes raked all over Sally remembering how they’ve never really been in good terms right from the beginning.

” You’d do same if you were in my shoes. ” Tarsia’ replied.

Sally stared at Tarsia’ in bewilderment

“I heard you took your own life to protect Audrielle’s secret. You’d be dead now if not for Sapphire’s intervention. “.

Sally creased a small smile as she bent her head low.

Tarsia’ placed her right hand on Sally’s shoulder.

“Remember when you once asked me if I was ready to do anything for the sake of my friend,… Well, here’s the answer,… I’m ever ready to lay my life on the line for The princess. ” Tarsia’ smiled sadly.

A tear mistakenly dropped from her eyes,.. she flinched and quickly wiped it.

” You have a good heart Tarsia’..” Sally responded.

“You do too. I was just too blind from the beginning to have seen it. ”

Sally gave out a small smile.

” You won’t die,.. I promise. ”
Sally cried as she fell into Tarsia’s welcoming arms.

Tarsia’ who knew the truth already just smiled to her statement.

“Promise me when this is all over,.. you’ll take good care of the princess, like you always do .”

” I promise” Sally cried more.

And that only made the tears Tarsia’ has been trying so hard to hold, fall freely from her eyes.

****

“Hey Hommie. “..
Tarsia’ greeted an unconscious Audrielle.
She sat solidly at the edge of the bed with Audrielle’s cold hands between her palm.

” I know you can here me..”

“I just wanted to say this is the biggest decision I’ll be taking in all my life. And the biggest sacrifice too. ”
She smiled.

“Audrielle,…”
Her hands went to the princess’ stomach.

” I want you to fight Audrielle. I want you and your baby to fight. Antonio is fighting for you already.

Your family,.. Sally… And your best friend,.. we are fighting for you. Do not fail us. Do not give up… ”

” We love you. I love you so so much. I’ve always loved you more than any sister would right since we were kids.
I’ve always cherished your smile and our friendship.

Seeing you like this is something that is slowly killing me.

My mother once said,.. we protect the things we love. “..

She paused,.. the memories of her mother kept playing in her head.

” My mother once said we protect the things we love.. and that’s why I’m about to do this,.. for all of us.
I hope you forgive me for whatever I plan to do.
Just know I will forever hold you in my heart.
Even in my death.

I Love you so dearly Audrielle…. And I hope you do not give up for this next three days. ”

She finally wiped her teary eyes as she made out of Audrielle’s chamber.

She walked into the throne room and met the women in the position she wanted them

” Let’s plan our invasion, . Now that we know where the Red Witçh is.”
Tarsia’ stated as she took a seat amongst them.

****

“What a waste!…”
Gueneviere yelled out in frustration. Throwing things about in anger.
The guards had to take shelter from the flying objects.

” How could that little brat sneak out under my nose with the blade?!?”

“My lady,.. we..”

“Oh, shut up you useless fool!”

She shut Mario up by throwing him with her Powers to the wall.

Mario coughed out blood as he collided with the floor.

He was used to this.

He was just a toy in Gueneviere’s hands and she uses him to express her anger anytime, and any day.

” We find the daughter!… We find that little witçh before she does something stupid with the blade. ”

Gueneviere roared as she angrily paced about.

****

Antonio groaned as he flushed his eyes open.
He was feeling a bit relieved, unlike before. he remembered he collapsed and was dragged away by something he couldn’t tell… But somehow, he felt… Strangely back to himself, even stronger.

Or wait….

” am I dead? ” He asked no one in particular.

“You were”..

“Who’s that?”
He jerked immediately to his feet as he heard the voice.
Everywhere was a bit dark and he could barely see who was talking.

There was a fire burning close to him and it emitted light which he was able to see clearly with.

Antonio drew his steps backward as he felt the familiar presence.

” I saved your life,.. you’d have been dead if I didn’t hide you.”

The voice became clearer and the doubts Antonio was having soon cleared off as the image stepped into the light emitting from the fire.

“No way…”.. Antonio scoffed.

“Yeah,.. no fvcking way..” the voice completed as she walked even more closer to the astonished Antonio.

“Good to see you again, Prince Antonio.”

Alex drawled with a smirk.
