6 - Rejected

"Ana," mahigpit na turan ni Ama sa akin nang napansin niya ang aking pagkawala sa isipan. Tila ba nagsasabi ng 'behave yourself.'

I'm too tired of this nonsense. It's not like father can force me to marry this boring man. I'd rather die.

And I bet this man doesn't even like me to be his wife. Just some random Emperors who plan to use us for alliance.

Who am I? The infamous princess of Estineian. That would only bring him embarrassment and humiliation.

"Ngayon lamang sila nagkikita-kita at hindi pa nila gaanong kilala ang isa't isa," pahiwatig ng Emperador Aulus sa amin, "Why don't we make time for the two of them alone?"

Nakita kong pasulyap-sulyap sa akin ang prinsepe matapos itong may ibinulong sa emperador.

I'm sure it's his opinion.

"That's a good idea!" sagot naman ni Ama at humalakhak. "Edan!" tawag niya sa kaniyang sariling tagalingkod.

Inutusan ni Ama ang mga alipin na igiya kami sa lugar na kaniyang ipinahanda kay Aulus para sa amin.

Well, it's a good time for us to talk alone
