CHAPTER 66

(ZAYNAH POV)

Years later...

"Your Majesty, King Zerif wants to talk to you." Nag-angat ako ng tingin sa kanang-kamay ng aking Ama at saka ko siya tinanguan. Mabilis na tinapos ko ang ginagawa ko at sumunod sa kanya.

Narating namin ang hardin at nakita ko agad si Ama na nakangiti na sa akin. Katabi niya ang Mama na ngumiti din sa'kin at bumalik na ulit sa ginagawa niyang pamimitas ng bulaklak.

"Dear I---"

"I am fully aware of my obligations and responsibility as a heir of your throne, as the reigning Queen. But I told you that I can't make it now. And don't make as an excuse that you're old because you were not. You can still handle the Magiczard with that state of yours. Piece of cake" Pangunguna ko na sa kanya. My father looks amazed then later on he burst with laughter.

"I understand." sabi niya ng makabawi saka mahina akong tinapik sa balikat.
