Tale 37
The Wicked in the Throne
Isang pangkaraniwang araw lamang ito para sa mga mag-aaral ng Aurum University. Makikita ang karamihan na abala sa kanilang mga klase. Makikita naman ang pagkamangha sa mga mata ng mga bagong mag-aaral. Kakasimula pa lamang ng mga klase ngayong taon.
Si Stephany na isang Apprentice Alchemist sa Aurum University ay nakangiting umupo sa table kung nasaan ang kanyang mga kaibigan sa cafeteria ng unibersidad.
"Look what I got!" pagmamayabang nya sa mga kaibigan
"A book. What's up with that smug smile? It's annoying Steph." Monotone na tugon ni Lhey sa kaibigan
"A book?? Cant you see that this is 'The Wicked in the Throne'???!" Stephany
"The Wicked what??" tanong naman ni Zoe, isa nya pang kaibigan
"You don't know this book?!" hysterical na tanong ni Stephany
"No.." Lhey
"How could you?!" galit na tanong ni Stephany
"Calm down.. It's just a book, why are you so mad??" Zoe
"THIS IS NOT JUST A BOOK! THIS IS THE WICKED IN THE THRONE!! BOOK TWO OF THE BEST SELLING NOVEL, THE HERO IN THE RUG!" Stephany
"It's just a book.. Why are you so hype??" Lhey
Gusto nang magwala ni Stephany.. As a book enthusiast, hindi sya makapaniwalang hindi alam ng mga ito ang highly acclaimed na librong The Hero in the Rug! Isa itong libro na napapabilang na ngayon sa mga classics! Stephany don't know it, but if she was born on Gaia, she's probably a wattpader.
"What is it about??" curious na tanong ni Zoe
Agad nagningning ang mga mata ni Stephany. Finally! This is her time to shine!!
She excitedly and vividly narrated the story, leaving Zoe regretful that she even asked.
The book is about a young man who went against all odds to rise and fight the oppression of the wicked empress who caused the death of his entire family. The plot is very simple, but the events and his adventure was so unique and epic, it garnered a lot of fans after it's released two years ago. Now, the second book was released after the success of book one. The Wicked on the Throne focuses on the point of view of the Evil Empress from the first book. It narrates fragments of her dark past that influence her to become evil. Just like the first book, it's gaining a lot of fans for it's dark but meaningful story.
"It was written by Lily Cross! Her great grandmother is Lana Cross! Author of the classic tales; The Witch in the Castle, The Traveller in the Sea, The Sea of Stars and a lot more!" Stephany
"No wonder she's a good novelist. It runs in her blood." Komento ni Zoe
"And what's fascinating is the fact that it's based on a true story.." pagmamalaki pa ni Stephany
"How??" maging si Lhey ay nacucurious
"During Ms. Lily Cross' recent press conference, she revealed the inspiration behind her book. It turns out that she used to work as a researcher at the History and Time Research Council in Aragon. She shared that she once encountered an article about the first empire before the rise of the five kingdoms of Aralon." Stephany
"There's an empire before the rise of the five kingdoms??" Zoe
Tumango-tungo si Stephany.. "When I heard about it, I got curious. I look it up at the books published by History and Time Research Council." Stephany
