The Warden Doll

Chapter 27

Different persons hold different keys in your life

I don't know what to say, I can't process properly. First, why is Rowena acting like this? I thought she's different? If I said I'm just a commoner, will she abandon me? Even if I don't have any plans on telling her, there's no secret na hindi nalalaman and that's scaring me. Rowena is dear to me, so is Jean, sila 'yung nagparamdam sa'kin na it's also nice to have girl friends dahil puro lalaki mga naging kaibigan ko. I don't know what do I do if I lose these guys, it will never be the same anymore.

Second, Rowena said that she's quite familiar with it, does she mean na dati pang wala ang mga "scholar"? Eh ba't ako? Why did I got the chance to enroll? Did Mom used her connections para makapag-aral ako rito? No, besides from she really knows na hindi n'ya ako mapipilit na mag-aral dito, I know she lost all of her connections from the higher ups the moment she married Dad. So what's happening? Why does my existence of being a commoner is being kept as a secret? What the heck is happening?

"Ay wait, hulaan ko!!" Sabi nito na nagpabalik sa'kin sa reyalidad. "It's Celestia 'no?!" Nanlaki ang mata ko nang banggitin n'ya ang maiden surname ni Mama.

"How did you know?" Namimilog ang mga mata na tanong ko.

"Ey! Tama nga ako!" Sabi nito at napapalakpak. "I was gonna say na halata kasi sa genes mo pero no one will ever guess from what family you are, kasi tignan mo naman your hair down to your skin tone are very rare, pero I actually saw sa information mo hehe."

"You shouldn't go through someone stuffs." Medyo seryoso na saad ko.

"Grabe naman 'to! That was by accident kaya!" Sabi n'ya at hinampas pa ako sa braso. "Pero your surname 'Parker' isn't familiar with me. Did your class got dropped 'cause your parent married a middle-class?"

"That doesn't matter." Sabi ko na lang at muling tumingin sa tanawin at pilit na pinapakalma ang nagwawalang puso.

"Pero the family Celestia always produces a good future queen ah! Baka mamaya you'll be the next queen na!" Pabirong sabi nito. 

"Walang naging reyna sa pamilyang Celestia, they're always a candidate but never chosen." 

In the world of society there will always be a powerful family. It's either they got the power because of connections or out of hard work. For example, the family of  Mendel, they got the power out of hard work kasi they're always at the front lines when it comes to war against demons and also to other kingdoms, they also produce great wardens to the point na sa kanila kinukuha 'yung mga personal knights ng royal families and that's already a great achievement and already written down sa history book. While the family of Santiago got their power out of connections 'cause they always produce great queens, it is already written down in history that most of the queens of the Grinderwall kingdom are from the family of Santiago. But sadly, they are more powerful than the family of Mendel because they only produce great wardens and knights while on the other side they produce the future ruler. 

These families are often called as royal-elites, hindi tataas sa royal family pero hindi rin papantay sa mga elites, kasi sila 'yung mga personal na nakakausap ng mga royal members at isa na rito ang pamilyang Langston. It is still unknown how the fact that the Langston stays up in the rank and I often hear that they're the shadow of the royal family pero madalas ko ring naririnig na ang pamilyang Langston talaga ang namamahala sa buong kingdom and the royal families are just some kind of their puppet. They're just too mysterious na kung ano-ano nang theories ang nabuo tungkol sa kanila and up until now hindi pa rin nalalaman ang dahilan.
