Chapter 141 - WRONG

Achis would only be altering the entire island into a haven for Yanarym, might as well distinguished it as a bigger cage for her. Maki narrowed his eyes, he knew very well what was this young Datu was thinking. He won't let her go anywhere nor abandon him. The only way he could do so was to destabilize Bai's father's legacy. Without her father, Yanarym would have no one to lean on or run to but to him. Maki was certain that it was the lone reason for Datu Achis to kill Datu Pita.

"If that's what you want, I'll assure you with my utmost ability to comply. That place doesn't concern me in the least." Tala said it casually, as though she was wholly ignorant of the two men simmering silent feud. She smiled at Maki after refocusing her attention on him.

"Just let him have it. Once I become Hara I can give you any banwa that you like Maki." Maki shook his head in response. They're not arguing about the island; they're arguing about a life… his person, which this young Datu was alleging in an unacceptable deliberate way.

"No need, I don't need much trouble." He said coldly with a smug smile. Maki was willing to surrender to Achis for this only moment.

Yanarym said that he should wait for her, so he will. For the time being, he will obstruct these two's conspiracy to destroy Datu Pita.

"Hmm, if you say so," Tala said and returned her attention to Achis. "What else do you want to know?" 

"Augment the proposal in its entirety." The two had been engaging for hours, completely oblivious to the passing of time.

Rajah and Hara were both in the bed-chamber that afternoon. The Hara preparing her evening dress for the banquet's subsequent week, and thus the Rajah resting on the bed to regenerate his energy.

"Some saw you alone in a room with Datu Pita's daughter, becoming cozy." She mentioned icily as she draped the glitzy necklace around her slim neck.

Rajah Basi opened his eyes and looked at his Hara. When Ara died, the wife of Pita, Hara Kaliya became the most beautiful woman of her age. Looking at her, her beauty seems ageless as she remained the same as the day he married her. 

Originally, she was not engaged with Basi but with Pita. As Pita was ready to be announced as the Rajah after their pangangayaw on Ara's banwa. However, Pita declined after meeting Ara, not just giving up the marriage to Kaliya but also the power and status as the sole king of every territory that they had conquered. He gave it all to his right hand, Basi. 

Hara Kaliya's father was one of the most prominent Datu of his time. He found Basi and Pita when they were just kids and trained them to become stronger. As they grew older and showed great achievements, Kaliya's father asked Pita to marry his daughter and he agreed as he didn't care about marriage before. 

However, he took back his word and passed everything to Basi. Basi didn't mind it either, honestly, he was grateful for the power, status, wealth, and beautiful wife. But after living his life for decades with Kaliya, he realized that who he wanted to be with was with Pita. 

But that was fatuous, a man loving another man. Can he evade the fact though? He was not into his wife but to the man he had been with from his childhood to his adulthood. He admired his rotten nature, his ferocious personality, and his vicious way of living. He desired his intense passion for power and fancied his ruthless treatment. He envied Ara for receiving his warmth and tender affection but had only his eyes to watch their tale of love story transpiring. 

Presently, he had encountered someone who was exactly like the man he loves, and she is a woman. Pita's blood and flesh, who had his features and personality but had no tone or masculine body. His hidden desire that he kept for so long was surging every time he laid his eyes on her. He's craving for her, ecstatic and stimulated thinking that he could finally direct his love to someone rightly. No one would judge, no one would be disgusted, because it is a woman and not a man.

The ocean was deep, calm, and sparkling blue as the sun rose from the east. Yanarym could see the fishes underwater whenever she tried to peep on the baroto but Lapil was always reprimanding her that it's dangerous. 

"Should I help you?" Yanarym asked, peering at the flexing muscle of Lapil's salacious back as he paddled along this enormous boat. She just can not help but bite her lower lips as she gazed at the enticing view.

Guide-sama: "I thought you don't like toned men?"

"I did not say I don't like them. What I told you, was I prefer men that are more suitable for cuddling." She refuted. 

"No, I can do this," Lapil replied with no ease. "Just make yourself comfortable." 

She could see that rowing this large baroto is not that hard for him, he's not even sweating. Even though he's been doing this for two hours or so. 

She pursed her lips and lay down on the platform in the middle of the boat where he had to serve her fruits and drinks. Above there was a little roof made of wood preventing the sunlight from hitting her skin. She was specifically treated like a princess by the prince of this era. 

If she computes the time of their voyage, they would be arriving at the island of Datu Pita by midnight or the morning of the next day before dawn if they keep this pace. Even though Lapil is physically capable, he is unable to keep up with the boat's five-person crew.

When she was with Achis, they rode the same boat structure a little bit bigger and they traveled for five hours on the sea.
