"Your happiness is all I want in this world, Lacy. After your mother's death. I made a promise to your mother's grave that, whatever you decide and, you are happy doing it, and not regret it. Even if I don't want to, I have to support you because that's what I've promised," he said. That touched my heart and made me gasp for air. "Dad..." "Your mother will be happy too-- supporting you because you are only important to us. Just seeing you happy makes us happy too. I hope you know that." My lips trembled so, I bow down my head and cover my face with my hair. I also got tears in my eyes and fall like a waterfall. Father held my chin up and removed all the hair that is covering my face. He smiled at me and wiped all the tears that are coming down to my cheeks. "Whatever you do, just always remember that I have your back. So, if you don't want to get married, then don't. Your happiness is much more important than a political marriage, Lacy. You are import

Hindi naman kasi ganoon ang ibig kong sabihin, hindi ko kilala kung ano siya. Ano naman ang gagawin ko sa pangalan niya?! Ni hindi ko nga alam kung paano niya nalaman itong secret passage na ito tapos gusto niya pagkatiwalaan ko lang siya nang ganoon. Ang tigas ng mukha eh. Hindi ko na siya pinansin pa at naglakad na lamang. Hinawi naman niya ang buhok niyang bahagyang mahaba. At parang may nakita akong tattoo sa kaniyang batok. At dahil, hanggang sa balikat niya ako, medyo abot ko ang kaniyang batok, kaagad kong hinawi ang batok niya at nakita ang pamilyar na tattoo rito. Then with a swift move, he's holding my wrist now and he's pinning me on the wall. I was startled with what he did, but I just kept a straight face and look at him coldly.

"They are. So you can now erase those doubts that you are feeling and ease your mind. Because you changed already, and the rest will also follow. You just have to follow the process of your desired destination, and eventually, you'll get there," she answered. Tumango naman ako roon, akala ko kasi nananaginip lamang ako at paggising ko nasa kulungan na ulit ako. The time when I was inisde the cellar, I often dreamt of having a normal and peaceful life with my family, the person that I loved the most and we're just happy and laughing with the other's joke. But then again, when I opened my eyes, it's all just dreams. Kaya hindi talaga kapani-paniwala na ganoon na lamang na bumalik ako para sumaya. Oo, marami akong regrets sa buhay ko noon, na sana ito na lang ang pinili ko o kaya naman, magiging iba ba ang kahihinatnan ko kapag ito ang p

"But of course, before I say that, let's put that aside first and eat, so we can enjoy our breakfast." Umupo naman ako nang maayos at pasimpleng tinignan isa-isa ang mga nandito, sa side nila Stacy, halata namang mga ganid na akala mo may makukuha. I mean, meron naman pero kaunting pera lamang at syempre hindi lahat makalatanggap, ano sila sinuswerte? Nakatagpo ko ang isang lalaki na natingin sa akin. Ngumisi siya sa akin at kumindat, muntik na akong sumuka sa ginawa niya. Yuck. Matatanggap ko pa sana kung si Lord Pickett ang kikindat sa akin o kaya si Moon, kaya ko pang tiisin pero kung siya, ba't 'di niyo na lang ako saksakin, 'no? Nagtayuan ang mga balahibo ko sa ginawa lalo na nang bigla niyang dinilaan ang ibabang labi niya. Kaagad naman akong umiwas ng tingin at napapikit. Kad

"Grandpa, you should calm down first and let your family discuss this matter," I said. Kung noong nakaraan lamang ay puno nang pagmamahal at para bang espesyal ako sa paningin niya, ngayon ay galit na ito sa akin. "As I have said earlier, any individual who isn't part of an imperial family doesn't have any rights to ascend to the throne unless he or she is a secret child," I said and look at them. "You are right, honey," Lucifer said, and smiled at me. "And what she said earlier is also right, the three of us and my older borther, Luciano's children and Lucio's too isn't interested to throne," he added. "Therefore, my nephew Luci and niece' Lacy have the potential and rights to the throne." Of course, I know right.
