That was why the original was chosen to become the bride of the Ginoo. Tala wouldn't let that thing happen. She gathered her forces and information and started to hide gold and treasure in her secret box. Building her army of warriors to start a rebellion against Datu Pita's own Banwa.
Traveled to places from one another to conspire with the different officials to support her for the future. Everything was going well, all needed to be done was to execute each plan sooner or later. She will be crowned as the future Hara of this whole town.
But first, she had to get rid of Yanarym who was getting on her nerves these days. Last night was one of her plans to conquer Datu Pita's banwa. He loves his daughter so much that he was doing anything for her. Then, the plan she made was so perfect to destroy their minds and hearts.
Giving Yanarym to the young Datu Achis can only lead onto two possible scenarios, one was that the young Datu might spare her life after spending the night together yet he will not marry her and will humiliate her by climbing on his bed. Second, she will not be spared but will die in the hands of the young Datu for not enduring to take the burden of marrying the Datu's favored daughter. Without anyone knowing, the daughter will be buried and will not surface on the earth anymore. Her umbo must be a beauty but Datu Achis desire for power was greater.
Once this all happened, she had to wait for the invitation on the Rajah's balay and have the opportunity to be the bride of the son of Rajah.
The person who Tala presumed had died was currently devouring the dishes that Achis had brought earlier. She had no constraint, did not care about the existence of the young man in front of her. In conclusion, no matter what or who her body may be. She'll always be the Yanarym who loves to gobble food with enthusiasm regardless of what the delicacies were in whichever era or place she may be.
Achis was having an interest in observing her gnawing the meal he brought with no perseverance. Currently, he was curious about what kind of life that this young lady had. There was no doubt that she was a Bai that was pampered from the day that she was born to the present time.
Naturally, in that status, she couldn't be behaving like a person who had no manners at all. Vulgar and impotent, her unladylike movements while she was in front of a man, particularly a Datu at that.
Despite this, his father was not exactly a role model of a benevolent Datu. When he was young, his Baba told him about prestige, traditions, and his identity as the next ruler of leading this banwa. He met countless people, even those who speak a different language, those who worship other gods, those who have a distinct culture from his. Despite everything, not even once he encountered an intriguing lady like her. Nevertheless, it was not displeasing to see, it's a refreshing view.
After drinking her fifth cup of water and finishing all the delicacies on the table, Yanarym could not help but burp. "Oops!" She immediately smiles like a lotus flower while her hands cover her mouth.
"Excuse me, I was starving." She explained but Achis just grinned without saying anything. "...anyways! Going back to business. I have two more conditions, right? Do you want to hear it?"
"I do." He answered keenly. Yanarym smiled at him and raised her left arm to show her hand-formed into a fist and uplifted her pointing finger.
"You will provide me with the necessities to live. Food, clothes, and shelter. Well, this tavern would be fine." She said looking around, "All you have to give me is my daily meal that's breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And if you are magnanimous you can give me snacks too." She smiled wider, showing her white perfect structure teeth.
Achis stared at her, she was so effervescent despite her dire situation. And the young woman he saw wailing, disconcerted and disheveled earlier was nowhere to be seen at this moment.
"Clothes, I'm fine with anything rather than walking naked." She said casually without even blinking.
Achis was the one who reacted, unconsciously gape at her petite body that was dressed into the clothes that he had brought.
In standardization, women residing at his banwa were mostly topless. Connected to their status they were commonly not required to dress their upper body for the reason that fabrics cost more than what they could earn. Those were the uripon and hayohay or slaves from his territory.
Apropos of those women who have higher status, they normally stay at their Bana's or Baba's balay that he doesn't typically see noble ladies that wore upper garments.
Besides, he had a phlegmatic stance in place of relating to women. He was not a broken sleeve though. His top priority was bringing abundance and prosperity to his land. He is still young for marriage and bringing an heir to this world, this matter, he could settle it after he had fulfilled his goals.
However, this one woman made him flustered just now. He saw her naked carcass when he first saw her, only her long black hair was concealing her bosom. The circumstances happened back then, he had no time to contemplate and be allured. Nonetheless, he admits he was enticed by her beauty during the time he talked to her.
Contrariwise, at the present moment, he remembered the image of her. The love marks all over her torso, the white-milky skin blushing because of the hot sun rays, her misty eyes and nose are red from crying, wet translucent pinkish thin lips... she was similar to a 'diwata' or a fairy lost her way in the forest. Achis believes that she is the most beautiful woman he has seen.
