Discipline Room

ROUXBIGAEL

Well, people. Life in the palace is getting stricter. By what happened at Jouffines and Clariode, the Queen has a new rule, therefore:

Anyone who is seen doing the public display of affection shall be put into the discipline room.

Radical Queen she is. The Eightwans are also included. As long as you live inside the palace, you need to follow that rule. Or don't let the Queen or me catch you. "Genevoughn!" I called, "What? I'm not doing any PDA!" he shouted, 

"What? What PDA?" I asked, "It's the Public Display of Affection of the new rule, goof, I just used the shortcut method" he answered, "Pedantic" I replied. "Whatever are you doing there?" I asked, 

"Well, just praying that I somehow get the throne" he answered, indeed, greedy to the throne.

I walked around with my stick to catch some people who do PDA's, according to Genevoughn. Who is such a pedantic person. Anyways, aha! 

"Jonashaun and Polaighne!" I shouted, "My lady, do you want some ice cream?" Jonashaun asked, say what? "Ice cream" Polaighne smiled, it looks tasty. "That ain't a drug?" I asked, "Nope" Jonashaun smiled, well, anyways, it's worth a try.

I tried some and oh my gosh. It is tasty. Delicious. Oh my gosh, I need to have this in our kingdom.

"Thanks" I smiled, "Don't worry, we aren't even a couple to show that display of affection" Polaighne added. Well, I think I swept the couples in the discipline room. Well, except Jouzhuel and Genevieve, where have they sneaked out?

I tried to find for them but oh well, it's already night time, well, I guess I need to set free the couples inside the disciple room. Who disciplining them? The Queen and the Prince. Bitter alert.

Who can blame them? I heard Prince Nikolai suffered a lot from his recent lover. Who knows? The girl betrayed him and left him hanging without answers. I feel sad for him but the Queen? Oh, who knows? Nobody knows the past of the Queen.

Oh wait. "Gavrielous!" I called, "Yeah?" he asked back, "Do you know anything from the Queen's past?" I asked, "I'm trying to find out what is" sagot niya, "Let's find it together" I smiled. "Sure, but we need wise companions" he said.

Gavrielous called for a meeting in the discipline room. Is the Queen asleep in her room? I guess she is.

"All are included in our plan" Gavrielous announced, "We are about to invade the Queen's private life" Gavrielous smiled, "Those who are not interested, go" Gavrielous said but no one go out, very good.

"Let's do this" I smiled and we all planned.

PATRIESCE

Ewan ko pero parang mali yung gagawin nila.

"Uhm! Excuse me? Can I ask something?" I asked and they waited for me, "Is it bad that we invade someone's private life? I mean, we can just ask them, right?" I asked them, "Uhm, yes, that's true but we asked the Queen countless of time why is she part of the word, 'bitter' so as a Baron of the Queen, I therefore conclude that we shall invade her personal life" Gavrielous answered.

Maybe the Queen had a broken past.

The plan continued hanggang umabot rin ito sa mga Eightwans at agree din sila kasi may tinatago rin sa kanila ang Hari. Ooh, something's up.

Nagulat na lang ako dahil may tumili, ugh kairita, sino ba yun? Lumingon ako at nakita si Dominiqueu, ang kapal talaga, gabi na nga ang lakas pa rin sumigaw.

"Quiet nga!" angal ko, 

"Yoko nga!" pagpilit niya na parang bata, hindi bagay Dom,

"Che" reply ko, di siya worth it para awayin ko, sa susunod na lang ako makikipagaway sa kanya. I'm not in the mood upang awayin ang mga tulad niya.

So marami nang napagusapan at nag-assign na si Gavrielous at Keanelle ng mga gagawin ng bawat isa. So mangingialam kami sa kwarto ng Reyna or files niya every night basta ganun, maganda yung plano na gagawin namin.

Napaupo na lang ako habang tinitignan yung papel na hawak ko, bigla na lang akong nagulat nang may sumiko sa akin, aba, "Ano ba?!" sigaw ko, "Ay sorry po" napatingin naman ako, sino ba uli ito? Ah yung Ravaffel, sino ba kausap niya?

Ay si Merianilla, edi kayo na sweet. 

Pakialam ko sa kanila. Ah, so twing gabi lang sila nagsisweet-sweetan dahil madidisicpline room sila pag umaga't hapon? Talino na mga ito.

"Okay, it is very late now, so we should all go to our designated rooms and sleep, we have a big day tomorrow, people!" announce ni Gav kaya diretso na ako lumabas sa discipline room at humilata agad sa kama ko. 

Nakakatamad na mangolekta ng taxes. Di naman sila nagbabayad. Mga kuripot eh.

JEFTHERSON

At dahill hindi pa ako inaantok, pumunta muna ako sa garden. Minsan naiinis na rin ako sa twing minamaliit nila ako, itang maliit na nga ako, minamaliit pa. Pero buti na lang, may favor yung Hari sa akin at pinwesto ako sa Trainor at Fencing.

Hilig ko na talaga noon pa ang sword fighting, noong bata pa ako. Eh nung bumisita kaming pamilya sa kingdom, nakita ako ng hari at agad akong ipinasok sa palasyo, ngayon naman ay nandito na ako sa Eightwoon at ngayon, may napupusuan na ang aking mga mata.

Si Kamvrielle.

Hindi ko alam kung tadhana ang pagpunta ko dito sa Eightwoon pero hulog talaga siya ng langit. Kaso, sino ba naman magkakagusto sa isang tulad ko? Maliit, bastos, masama pa ang ugali pero di dapat ako tumitingin sa mga negatibo. Dun ako sa positibo.

Lumingon ako at nakita siyang nakangiti. Naglalakad papunta sa room niya, malaman niya kaya na gusto ko siya? Tanggapin niya kaya ako? 

Nagulat na lang ako nang tumingin siya sa direksyon ko, napabaling naman ako ng tingin at naramdaman kong lumapit siya sa akin. Nako.

"Jeft?" tawag niya, siya ang kauna-unahang babae na tumawag sa akin ng ganun. Nakakaakit.

"Kamvrielle?" tawag ko rin, "Hindi ka pa ba matutulog?" tanong niya, "Ikaw ba?" tanong ko, "Matutulog na pero ikaw?" tanong niya pabalik, "Matutulog na rin" sagot ko, "Tara na" ngiti niya, ang bait niya talaga. Para siyang anghel.

"Mahal kita" bulong ko, "Ako?" nagulat siya, "Ah, hindi, ano kasi" sagot ko pero inunahan niya na ako sa paglakad. Agad-agad? Triggered? Rejected agad? Sakit naman sa damdamin, Kamv. 

Sana makita mo yung kabutihang loob ko, hindi yung panlabas lamang.
