Amelie's POV
"TARAY KASAL KA NA!--Ahem ahem, your highness CHARRR" sabi ni Carol. Andito kami ngayon sa palasyo, they're organizing my things. Carol has become my lady in waiting.
"Where does high minister Guel live?" I asked Marie
"Nasa Dark Clan lang naman din, bakit?" Marie
"I'm gonna need his help in imprisoning my grandfather"
"Bakit di mo nalang ipa deritso beh? Reyna ka naman eh, high queen pa, oh dibaa"
"I can't do that Carol, tanga ka ba? Minister yung halimaw na yun"
"Grabe naman maka tanga to, tanga ka rin"
"Mas ka"
"Mas ka period"
"Mas ka period tinapon ang susi"
"Tumahimik nga kayong dalawa" Marie warned. Nagtinginan kami ni Carol ng masama pero tumawa rin agad. We would always fight like this, pero dahil sa ganyan kami nagkaibigan. When I'm with them, I feel like I'm living the childhood I should've lived. At least she's here to lessen my stress--by giving me another set of stress.
"Queen Amelie, the king coming home" a maid said.
"Hoy behh bilis maghanda ka!"
"Huh? Why?"
"Para makita niya gano ka ka fresh biliiisss"
"Carol--"
"Heh! Heh! Bilis na, para namang di mo yun crush eh" agad akong napatingin sa kanya "Sige na beh, di mo alam kayo talaga diba? Ayaw mo yun? Crush mo asawa mo na? Ni ako nga di ako kilala ng crush ko eh, shout out sa'yo Cha Eun Woo"
"Kung maka crush ka naman kasi akala mo mistisa at chinita ka"
"Excuse me?"
"Excuse you"
"Ate ooo!"
"Ikaw nauna, diba Marie?"
"Tahimik na"
Tinawag na ni Carol ang mga katulong to help me in preparing. It has just been a day mula nung kinasal ako, but I haven't seen Arc since, I don't know where he went. Di naman matatawag na run away groon yun eh tapos na ang kasal.
"Ano bang magiging tawagan niyo? Honey? Boo? Hubby at Wifey?"
"Hindi ako baduy Carol, di tayo magka ugali"
"Oo nga kasi ultra baduy ka, pa english english pa pag nag eemote"
"Ano bang gusto mong gawin ko? Mag Chinese"
"Pwede, para unique"
"Bobo"
"Ka"
"Ka rin"
"Ka rin per--"
"Ano nanaman yan?"
"Alam mo mapanakit ka na ah? Nung wala kapang memorya mas matalino pa nga ako sa'yo nun e, wag mo akong ginaganyan ah kinopkop kaya kita nun. Show some love naman dyan mahal na reyna"
"Love doesn't exist in my world"
"Oh ayan, ayan na ang pa english, sige bakit?" sabi niya habang inaayos ang buhok ko
"No one taught me" Carol became silent for a while
"Malay mo siya pala mag turo sa'yo"
"I doubt, that guy despise me now, I took his freedom to gain mine"
"Pero masaya ka na ba?"
"I don't know, ayaw ko pang sagotin yan e. All I know is I'm more calm"
*sigh* "Ayusin mo yan mahal na reyna wala pa namang kodigo sa buhay"
I smiled. Napatingin ako sa mukha ko sa salamin. Is it really possible? Nah, I don't want to get my hopes that high anymore, maybe I'll stay in the neutral side, yung slightly hoping lang.
"The king is here my queen" nagkatinginan kami ni Carol
"Dalidalidalidalidali!" agad akong tumayo at bahagyang tumakbo. I don't know what I'm doing really, sabi ko na na hindi ako aasa pero tingnan mo nga naman tong marupok na paa ko.
"My queen!" tawag ng mga sumusunod na maids.
"Tingnan mo nga to" Carol
I ran towards the huge hallway, slightly excited.
*Door Opens*
Arc arrived. I walked casually downstairs, pasimpleng siyang tinitingnan. Medyo kinakabahan na ako, dang! I'm getting ahead of myself again! Be chill Amelie.
Napatingin siya sa'kin as he walked pero agad rin siyang umiwas at nilagpasan ako. I stopped for a few seconds, then looked back and saw him walking directly to his room.
*BANG*
He shut his door.
"Am--Mahal na reyna"
*Exhale*
"Can you get the car ready? Pupunta ako kay high minister Guel"
>
"High queen Amelie, what brings you here?" the high minister said as he saw me walking towards him.
"I must speak to you"
"This way please"
Pumunta kami sa office niya. we are currently in his house.
"Tea?"
"No thank you"
"Bring some tea" sabi niya sa mga maid. "So, what brings you here my queen?"
"Is it possible for me to imprison someone"
"Well of course--"
"Then I would like to imprison Luther Shaw for his crimes of torture" I said directly, di agad siya naka sagot
"--Who do you presume he tort--"
"Me and Lillian"
*clears throat* "Leave us please" sabi niya sa mga tao na nasa office. Nanatili akong nakatingin sa kaniya. "My queen, are you sure about this?"
"I am not joking high minister"
"Well, do you have any kind of proof?"
"Yes, well not with me, in his house. There's a mirror there that will take you to his torture lab"
"Have you tried gathering concrete informations my queen?"
"I---no"
"Well I'm afraid we can't imprison your grandfather" I was about to talk but he cut me off "Your grandfather is a noble man, a minister, loved by the people, and I also consider him as a great comrade. So it is extremely shocking to hear this from you"
"I was as shock as you when I found it out myself minister"
*sigh* "My queen--forgive me but I am having a hard time believing in you"
I took off my gloved and demonstrated 8 different uniques infront of him.
"My unique is water manipulation high minister, this unique has been in the Shaw's blood. Sa palagay mo, why on Farana would I have all these other uniques?" before he could reply nagsalita ulit ako "That comrade of yours injected 78 uniques in my body"
"Are you saying--"
"Yes. He's growing them to fight the Ore. I'm his living garden"
Napahilamos siya.
"This is a problem my queen. To be frank we can't investigate Luther publicly. Kung tama ang hinala mo na kasama si Luther sa mga rebels, who knows what those rebels would do if they hear about hid investigation. If we're going to confront him kailangang isang bagsakan lang, we need the complete concrete proof where there will be no room for questions. And we need to convince the other ministers and kings to conduct a program where soldiers will be ready sa kung ano mang mangyari kung mahuhuli na natin si Luther, but we mustn't tell them what the program is about"
"Why? I'm the high queen"
"Yes, but you are new--and you are not the highest in the position, alongside your husband is us. Luther is a good friend of high minister Frank. If we're gonna do this, we need to do it properly. First we need comrades"
"So are you saying you'll help me?"
*sigh* "I'm afraid so Amelie. After all, I'm one of your godfather" I smiled a bit
"So what am I gonna do?"
"Get your image right. Donate to charities, plan for activities, be an ideal queen as possible. By this, you'll gain connections and royalties that will be loyal to you. We need supports. You must also convince Arc to build connections not only in Farana but also to the other planets under Orion, siya dapat gumawa nung program na sinasabi ko. And I will try to conduct a secret investigation kay Luther--you mustn't investigate him"
"Why?"
"Like I said, you're newly crowned, everyone sees your every step, there are three of us excluding Arc, and the ministers might rise a petition to take you down. After this you must travel to the other high ministers too para walang mga hinala. Don't contact me through any technology, learn morse code and send me a letter. At kung pupunta ka man dito, do it secretly" diri-diritso niyang sabi
"O-okay"
"Also train, you need to be strong"
After that umalis na ako. I plan to visit the other high ministers within this week just like he told me. It didn't go as I planned, but at least it's more organized now.
Pagdating ko sa palasyo I immediately went to my office. I wrote a letter about the program high minister Guel told me, ibibigay ko to kay Arc, kasama na dun yung tungkol kay lolo but I didn't mentioned na ako yung isa, cause he might reject it to get revenge, si Lillian lang ang sinabi ko. I just hope my step sister was nice enough for him to sympathize her.
>
Days passed hindi ko matapos tapos ang sinulat kong report kasi nagdatingan ang mga letter or requests.
"What is that again?"
"Festival of the West my queen. The kings there wanted to conduct a festival to celebrate the union of all the countries in the West" napabuntong hininga ako
"How many parties do they want me to fund?!--" napaudungo si Maya, one of my assistants, I remembered what high minister Guel told me, this stupid title will kill me! "I'll check it later...thank you"
*sigh*
I looked at another letter. It's a report saying there has been a mass massacre in the town of Hatana, the odd thing is the people who are attacking are also townfolks, they said the attackers seemed abnormaly aggressive.
"Maya, set my schedule, pupunta ako dito" malapit narin yung town na yun sa bahay ni high minister Frank. I'll visit this within the week.
I walked towards the dark hallway, dala dala ang sinulat ko about sa program I'm planning on giving this to Arc first thing in the morning. I'm extremely tired, gustong gusto ko nang matulog, siniguro ko kasi na wala na akong gagawin sa visit ko sa Hatana.
*giggles*
"But you always leave me your highness"
Natigilan ako ng may narinig akong tinig ng babae paglampas ko sa kwarto ni Arc. It's midnight, di pa ba siya natutulog? I don't know what got into me but I knocked the door, dala na siguro sa kalutangan ko.
*Door Opens*
Arc showed up, shirtless. Napatingin ako sa kama niya and saw a girl looking frightened while looking at me, she was also covering her body with Arc's blanket.
"What do you want?" I can smell alcohol from him.
I inhaled and exhaled calmly before answering.
"I need you to check this"
"What is it?"
"A request I made, it's really important--"
"Amelie I already got a lot in my hands right now, you're seriously handling me yours too?"
"Just at least take a look at it"
"I'm busy--"
"Busy on what? Sleeping with other girls?!" nakita ko ang pag iwas ng babae.
"Do you want me to sleep with you Amelie?" he said, showing a mocking face. I admit, nasasaktan ako, all those stupid fuzzy feelings made it happened. Kung sana di lang nawala ang memorya ko, sana di nalang ako naging tanga at nahulog pa sa taong to.
"You're drunk. I'll talk to you when you're decent" sabi ko at umalis na. I let out a deep sigh, I should really get some sleep.
