"Did you enjoy the Festival, Princess?" tanong ng Reyna sakin ng mailapag niya ang kanyang kubyertos at gumamit ng table napkin at pinunasan ang kanyang bibig.
Nasa dinner table ako ngayon kasama ang aking Ama at Ina.
"Yes, Mother." sagot ko.
"Hindi mo yata kasama si Azure kanina sa pamamasyal mo. Why is that, my daughter?" unang tanong ng Hari at ngumiti sakin. "Are you having problems with the White Wolf?"
"No, Father." deretsong sagot ko at inilapag na rin ang kutsara't tinidor ko. "I just want Azure to be more comfortable here in the palace now that He's back here in our Kingdom." totoong sabi ko sa mga magulang ko.
Though paminsan hindi ko talaga alam kung ano ang sasabihin at kung paano ko tatratuhin si Azure.
He's so mysterious and everything in him is so magical and beautiful.
"Hmm." pagsang-ayon ng Hari sakin. "But do remember, Yanexia...the White Wolf chose you to be it's new owner."
Tumango nalang ako't ngumiti ng pilit. Maya-maya'y nagsalita ulit ang Reyna.
"Is there any news about the Hutton Kingdom, Lucas?" tanong niya kay Lucas na nasa likuran ko nakatayo. Muntik ko ng nakalimutang nandito pala siya at ginagampanan ang kanyang tungkulin bilang tagabantay ko.
And with regards with my Mother's question, hindi lang naman namin sinabi sa kanila na bumisita ang Prinsesa ng Hutton at ang Knight nito.
They did Not cause trouble sa Silver Winter Festival naman, but they visit to stir things with me.
"There's none as of the moment, Your Majesty. " sagot ni Lucas.
Narinig kong nagbuntong hininga ang Reyna. "I still can't stop thinking kung ano ang isasagot sa mensaheng pinadala ng mga Avems." unang sambit ng Reyna. "We got two weeks for the reply.I don't want to risk my daughter to an Enemy." tinignan ako ng aking Ina at ngumiti ng pilit.
My Father touch my Mother's hand at ngumiti rin ng pilit.
Seeing them like this and how they truly care for me.
Sana masuklian ko din ang kabutihan at pagmamahal na pinakita nila sakin.
Now's the right time for that.
"I'll do it, Your Majesties." walang alinlangang sabi ko sa kanila.
Nakita ko kung paano nag iba ang kanilang expression sa mukha.
I must be insane to give this decision without much thought.
Pero kailangan at ako lang ang makakagawa nito.
"What are you talking about, Yanexia?" seryoso ng nakatingin sakin ang Hari with his cold expression. Sa kanya ko nakuha ang expression na pinapakita niya ngayon. "You'll do what the Avems' want? That's not going to happen, child."
"You don't have to marry someone you don't know, dear." sambit rin ng Reyna.
"And then what, Father? Mother? Would you rather risk the entire Kingdom just for me?" tumayo na ako ngayon at seryoso kong tinignan ang mga magulang ko. "And just because I don't know the person na pakakasalan ko?"
I know they're scared and afraid to let go of me.
Of course, I am also scared and as much as I let them see how cold I am, I too is afraid.. pero hindi pwedeng wala akong gagawin.
