Throne or Love?

FRANCHESSA

Ugh, I don't want to live here anymore! It's getting sweeter and sweeter!

And I really got mad when the Eightwans are going to stay here for a year! Like what the heck, why? Just because Genevieve stayed there for a year, they would also stay here for a year?

And they would teach us Mathematics? What?! Is that even a word?

And Jezelsone, he's so pathetic! He's annoying, and it is pressuring me every time I see his face. Ugh, irritating!

You might say that I'm bitter but who cares? I'm just annoyed when I see men courting their women like ugh, these women are so gullible to believe them.

They're not even sure if the men who were courting them is still the one until the end. People change, fate change, destiny change. Everything in this world is temporary! Nothing is eternity here. Well, numbers do.

"I HATE ALL OF YOU!" I suddenly shouted, it sickens me. "Calm down will you, Franchessa? Time will come when someone will surely court you" Kairanelle said, "Easy for you to say, you already got a lover and he's even a peasant! Ugh, yuck!" I'm so bitter, whyyy?!

"At least he loves me!" Kairanelle defended, "Oh please, he's only using you to get the benefits of a royalist" I answered, "What do you mean?" she asked, "PERA YUNG HABOL NIYA, HINDI IKAW" I said and she ran, crying.

"You don't need to be so rude, Franchessa" I heard Herraline. "But Herra, it's true! Every peasant here wants to have a royalist for a lover to get the money, don't you understand that?" I asked. "What if Kairanelle really loved the guy and vice versa?" Herraline asked and that left me with no answer.

"Don't be too harsh if you don't have a lover, why not Jezelsone?" she said and left me, hanging. Oh please, Jezelsone? Ugh yuck! Never!

I am already asking myself what are we even doing here? For the throne? Or Love? I guess not. *trumpets*

Well, the other Eightwans are here. Well, feast your eyes for another conference incoming.

GENEVIEVE

Months passed, things are getting better to best. I guess Lexianne already accepted the truth that Jouzhuel likes me. Well, he better did. Jouffines and Clariode? Still hanging. Gavrielous and Harlionne are getting better. Mondragone wants to interfere with Maximilia and Andreuw, oh no, that would cause him trouble.

Jeftherson and Kamvrielle? Well, awkwardly cute. Thing are getting okay. But we can't pass a day without Clariode punching Kirkpatrick because of rudeness. What is their problem?

Can't they stop fighting? They only cause trouble and more trouble!

"Genevieve?" lumingon ako and "JOUZHUEL!" sigaw ko, ano nangyayari?!

"Jouzhuel, what happened?" natatarantang tanong ko, "Help me" nanghihina niyang sagot at sumigaw lang ako ng tulong. Ano nangyayari?

Duguan siya at puro pasa ang kanyang katawan, sinong hampas lupa ang gagawa nito sa kanya?!

DOMINIQUEU

So yeah, nasa garden ako at kasama ko nanaman si Chloride, wala eh, nagpapacomfort.

"Kasi Chloride, wala na talaga eh, ayaw na niya talaga" sagot ko sa kanya, "Yung pangalan ko Dom" sagot niya, "Anyways, just accept that Joniffes don't like you anymore, siguro naturn off siya sayo nung brineak mo yung promise mo sa kanya" sagot ko, "Jouffines kasi pangalan niya eh" bulong niya, "Whatever" reply ko.

"Ano? Eh wala nga akong maalala na nanakit ako ng babae" sagot niya, ano?

"Pero kwento sa akin ni Joniffes na--" natigil ang pagsasalita ko nang may sumigaw,

"TULONG! TULUNGAN NIYO KAMIIII!"

Agad kami napatakbo ni Chloride kung nasaan man nanggagaling ang sigaw at nagulat kami nang walang malay na nakahilata si Joulezhu kasama si Gevievne na umiiyak.

Agad tinulungan ni Chloride yung dalawa habang ako, tumawag na ng medics. Ano nangyari?

Dinala siya sa mini pagamutan namin dito sa palasyo at agad siyang tinulungan.

Pagkaraan ng ilang oras, nagising na uli si Jolezhu. "JOLEZHU!" napasigaw ako at tinitigan nila ako ng masama, what did I do?

"Jouzhuel kasi yun, Dom" sagot ni Chloride sa akin, kasalanan ko ba na baliktad dila ko? Sorry ha.

"Ano na? What happened to you? Bakit ka ganyan? Ano nangyari?" nagaalalang tanong ni Gevievne, "Di ko alam, alam ko lang ay nanghihingi ako ng tulong" sagot niya, oh my gosh.

"Isinusumpa ko kung sino man gumawa niyan sayo, pero wait..." napatigil si Gevievne,

"Lexianne?" sabay nilang tugon, ay oh.

Agad na tumakbo palabas si Gevievne at naghanap ng impormasyon. Hala, this means war! Napakabrutal pa naman minsna makipag-sword fighting ni Gevievne pero wait. Ugh, never mind! Genevieve pala, hay nako.

GENEVIEVE

Agad ako nagtungo sa loob at naghanap-hanap hanggang nakita ko ang mga kaibigan ni Lexianne,

"Excuse me, have you seen Lexianne?" tanong ko sa kanila,

"We saw her a while ago, talking with Jouzhuel, it's kinda serious" sagot ni Rilleanne, "Okay, thanks" ngiti ko, tumakbo ako at umikot-ikot ako sa loob ng palasyo? Nasaan ba siya?!

Di ko alam pero narinig ko sa may comfort room, may nagsasalita.

"I will break Genevieve" namuo sa akin ang takot at napaluhod ako at sumigaw.

CLARIODE

Nagulat kami nang may biglang sumigaw, as in tili, matinis at napakalakas. Sino yun? Agad kaming tumakbo ni Dom at pinuntahan kung saan man galing ang sigaw at nakita namin si Genevieve na nakaluhod at tinatakpan ang tenga niya.

"Don't touch her!" sigaw ni Mondragone, "Why not? She's in trouble!" sagot naman ni Andreuw, "Would you please listen? We know Genevieve than the rest of you" sagot din ni Kamvrielle.

"What's happening to her?" tanong ng katabi ko, si Keanelle, "She had this trauma or maybe disorder from when she was a child, maybe she heard something that someone will kill her? I think?" di ako sure sa sagot ko.

"Let her calm" narinig ko naman ang Reyna.

Sumigaw at sumigaw nanaman si Genevieve. Ano ba kasi narinig niya? Kanina lang ay hinahanap niya si Lexianne tapos-- oh!

Lexianne! Hinanap ng mata ko si Lexianne at nakita ko yung mga nag-aalala niyang mga mata. May nangyari talaga eh.

Kaya ito rin ang isa naming mga dahilan kung bakit ayaw namin mag-isa mag-asikaso ng problema si Genevieve, ayaw naming nasasaktan siya. Masyado siyang sensitive at nadadamay kaming lahat doon.

"If you get near her, she'll surely kill you" narinig ko si Marionette, tama lahat ng mga pinagsasabi nila.

Ano na Genevieve?
