"Why would the King wanted to talk to me?"Regine is walking one step behind me while guiding me to the Garden where she said the King where.I am still keeping that dress that i wear when i talk to the Queen.Surprisingly , this one i the most likable here,bukod sa mga jewelries nila."Your Highness,you often talk to the King since you came here"she said.Ano naman kaya ang mga pinagke-kwentuhan nila?Habang tumatagal ang paglalakad namin tsaka naman ako unti-unting nakaramdam ng kaba.I can't think of anything and that's why i hate every situation that i never got the time to prepare.Now i know why Alex remained so low ,even though he knew about the black market for years.To sent me here without any briefing is an idiotic idea.Hindi ko alam kung saan niya nakukuha ang mga taong sumusunod pa rin sa kanya kahit na deretso patay yata ang bawat puntahan nila.I heaved a deep breath when i can already see the garden.Sa gitna ng pangamba ko may isa din na malinaw.I needed some information fr
I laugh alone and in silence as i stared what's inside that wooden box.It is a phone ,a burner one,just like what Alex first gave me.I look around and wonder what Alex is going to say to me—and to go through the Palace—they're skilled enough to do this—inside for the second time.They must have been put when this i was talking to the King.I lied again on my bed and wait for it.I didn't wait long though because it rings just seconds after me,holding it."Who's the person I'm going to speak to?"my sweet voice fills up the air as i grinned."This is Commander George Thomas,Head of the Royal Security"The Commander?Uhuh.I can't help but grin at this surprise.Now it seems like the bed is getting comfy and—sweeet."Why did you called Commander George Thomas?""The con-artist that we sent is now nowhere to be found.I know that you are a fraud.So listen up—""Tsk.tsk.tsk"i chuckled after that."Nobody really ask me EVER in that kind of tone Commander"I sighed heavily at that."Especially if you
"Let me go!"i wriggled my wrist that he's not holding with care.Mas hinila niya ako pabalik sa loob hanggang sa naging mabilis 'yon na takbo.I can see my dress all thorn and a mess because of it.Ang isa sa mga suot kong sapatos wala na kaya naman nararamdaman ko ang tigas ng tinatakbuhan namin.Sigurado akong maitim na ang isa sa mga medyas ko.My hair hanging loosely without a style in my shoulder ,and the King just doesn't care.Nakalagpas na kami sa gate ng subukan kong huminto."I said let go of me!"i put my strength into my arms to fight back ng ginawa ko naman iyon ay hinaklit niya ako ng mabilis .I was thrown on his chest and he muffled my scream by tightening his arms on my waist.Dumiin ang mukha ko sa dibdib niya."You need to get back at that Afternoon Tea"I screamed at my hardest because of how his pressed almost killed me.Tumingala ako at nakita ang pagtigas ng panga niya.Mas lalo niya akong idiniin naramdaman ko na ang sakit sa panga ko at pisngi.His fierce stare made me t
Am i this lucky or i am just born smart? I feel like the Queen fueled my desire to get to listen to them talking things that made my mind run a marathon about the Prince and the possibilities.Sana bago pa ang kasal na sinasabi nila.I can use that Prince and the opportunity to be with him to get my sister or the jewelry or the great escape I have in mind i just need to get to contact Yica again."You sure are planning something ahead of everything again"hindi ko pinansin ang asungot na nakita ko na bago pa man magsalita.He knows for sure after all he didn't do anything other than watch me throughout that Afternoon Tea.Nagpatuloy lang ako sa paglalakad at lalagpasan na sana kung nasaan siya ng bigla na naman niyang kuhanin ang braso ko kaya naman napabalik ako ilang hakbang hanggang sa nasa pinagtaguan niya na rin ako.Tiningala ko siya at tinignan habang napapansin na ang pagkapeke ng buo niyang pagkatao bilang hari.Pinag-igihan nila ang lahat ng ito dahil sobrang laki na ng problema ni
Natawa ako sa kwarto ko kapag dating ko doon na siyang ikinatingin ng kasama ko.Ang lakas ng loob niyang mag-assume na may gusto ako sa kanya ng nasa ganoong sitwasyon kami at ang mukha niya?Kahit na alam kong baka magkaedad lang kami,hindi ako mala-love at first sight EVER!Lalo na sa kulubot!I laugh at my own comment."Your Highness?"i stop laughing and quickly run my eyes through the .The chamber maid is looking at me with nothing but a puzzled look.Nginitian ko na lang siya ulit bago inalis ang maskara na sinuot ko."I just feel happy because i can only count months and i will no longer need to wear this mask,you know Regine wanted to get all of it out of my sight often because she knows that i don't like it"ngumisi ako sa kanya.Kung alam mo lang kung gaano kahangin ang haring kinikilala niyo ngayon.I proceed to the my part after that.Ginugol ko sa pagbabasa sa library ng mga Royal Etiquette na kailangan kong malaman pati ang ilan na tradisyon ng ginagawa nila.Ang kung ano-anong
"You are the last person that i wanted to see"tanaw sa kinauupuan ko ang Grand Pavillion kung saan naganap ang Afternoon Tea na ipinagpasalamat ko na lang na hanggang ngayon hindi pa ulit nasusundan.The King wearing another expensive suit suddenly came into view and ruined the atmosphere."You better be nice or I'll let you not know what i came here for"sinabi niya habang papaupo sa upuang nasa harap ko.Natigil ako sa paghigop sa tsaa.Wearing my new white mask i showed him my wonderful smile.Seriously? Sinong may gustong marinig ang sasabihin niya. "Let me hear it"i focus my eyes on his roman nose."That's fake ,you know that.So stop smiling like an idiot"puna niya at nilingon ang paligid kahit na wala naman talagang magtatangkang magpunta dito ng ganitong oras."We'll search the library tonight as what the commander said.You need to be with me"nangunot ang noo ko."Why the library?""Because that's Princess Adona's most loved place"She should love her whole room first,it was dressed
---"What happened with the search Miss CL?Did you found out anything""We nearly got busted so we haven't found anything yet"i said."How about my sister Sir?It has been days, haven't you found anything yet?"thinking about the death of Regine and how it was awfully covered with silence—i don't want to imagine what it could for Isabel.Hindi na nga ako dapat pang magtagal dito kailangan ko silang apurahin."You haven't found anything yet?!My sister is in great danger right now and i am here doing some mission?I—i —i can't ""Calm down . We're taking care of it,okay.We already have a hint of who is this Alex and he's being traced as of now"he's being traced.Nakahinga ako ng medyo maluwag dahil sa narinig ko."I am sorry Commander but my sister first,if she died there then i won't have a reason to do this anymore"despair and desperation drips in my voice."And it's just—i once slept with that guy and i saw his guns so—i—i know my sister is in great danger right now"For now i know that th
"I am allowing you to continue using the Princess—""I am sorry—what?!"inalis ko sa tainga "Someone ,some drug dealer from the black market gets my sister so in order to ger realease her i need to attend to a party and then this happened."Do you know his name""He was just called as Alex" "We now have a deal,stay there until we find our main problem ,please don't get caught""What if that guy will hurt me again ,he already did that a couple of times today,look i dont really know what is happening but i jus wanted to go home"()()"You are childish now Ms.Crover.I don't know even know how you become a soldier with that kind of attitude you are lucky to get in ""As long as you can't touch me"his brows raise."Why ?Do you feel giddy when i do that ?"i scoffed.where can he get that fucking confidence while looking like that.Hindi ko na lang din pinansin iyon."I hope that you will remember what the captain has told you""And yes ,i felt something when you get that close to me"he smi
