Real Dynasty (On Going)

Chapter 8

There are so many kinds of dresses that I have seen. From the simplest to the extravagant ones. But this one is very... unique and elegant. It attracts my eyes. I think it's shining because of the gold threads and the diamonds that gives off an enchanting and magical feeling. I feel like I'm crying.

Humarap silang lahat sa akin. Hawak ni Jewell ang saya at masayang lumapit siya sa akin. Ngunit ang pag-ngiti niya ng malawak ay biglang nawala ng makita akong umiiyak.

Taena!

"Why are you crying dear?" Tanong niya.

"N-nothing... it's just that..." huminga muna ako ng malalim. "I have never received such a wonderful gift before."

"Don't ever think about giving that dress back to us. That can't fit in any one of us as you can see." Medyo may inis na sabi ni Feraugn.

It's true. The dress is made based on my height and body statistics. Pambata kumbaga.

Pero umaasa ako na makukuha ko na ang totoo kong anyo pagdating ng aking ikalabing-walong kaarawan ko. Ngunit ang pinaka-ayaw ko ay naisasabay ito sa isang pinakamahalagang okasyon sa palasyo. Ang Bewitched Annual Ball. This happens in the 15th of September.

It will be the start of autumn, where some leaves of the trees here will be falling. Masaya sana pero nalulungkot ako 'pag hindi ko kasama si Mama Alicia at Azura dahil sa kanilang paninilbihan sa palasyo.

Pero ngayon, nabigyan kaming lahat ng pagkakataon upang makasali sa pagdiriwang. But we also need to help in serving other guests. There will also be guests from other kingdom. Like the dukes and duchesses. And as the main kingdom, the Royals in our kingdom are trying hard to impress them by putting spells and illusions. Also manages the decorations and theme of the yearly event.

This Ball always happens to show that we successfully come this far without war being involved. It represents the peaceful years of us mages. The witches are our allies too, but they have different kingdom.

"Here..." naputol ang pagmumuni-muni ko nang marahang ibinigay sa'kin ni Jewell ang bestida.

"Try it when you get home, okay?" Nakangiting sabi niya. Parang may ipinapahiwatig ang ngiti na iyon.

"Don't worry... we didn't put any spell or magic in that dress that will cause you harm." Lucy suddenly spoke, pero hindi nawawala ang antok doon. Parang tamad na tamad na sinabi niya iyon kasi humikab pa siya pagkatapos magsalita.

Yumuko ako sa kanila ng kaunti upang magpasalamat. Hindi sapat para sa'kin ang salita lang upang mapasalamatan sila.

"You're welcome." Sabay-sabay nilang sabi sa akin at naramdaman kong tumindig ang aking mga balahibo. Iba ang hatid ng presensiya nilang tatlo.

Inabot ko na ang hawakan ng pinto at binuksan. Tuluyan na akong lumabas at lilingon pa sana ako ngunit sumara na ang pintuan ng kusa. Nagliwanag din ang paligid nito at tuluyan ng naglaho.

There is no trace of strange cabin store that can be seen in the place.

I sighed, remembering the three Faes that I encountered earlier. Then I also remember the egg. I recall the informations of what I heard about Familiars and suddenly, the egg just twitched from my pocket.

Nagkasya ang itlog dahil malaki ang bulsa ng aking bestida. Dalawang kamay ko ang kailangan upang mahawakan ang itlog. Lumaki ito at mas nakikita na ang mga bitak nito. Mukhang malapit ko ng makita ang laman nito.

Muntik ko ng mahulog ito dahil may humawak sa kabilang balikat ko at pinaharap sa kaniya. Agad ko namang itinago ang itlog at damit na ibinigay ng tatlong Faes kanina upang hindi magtanong sa akin si Azura.
