ENCHANTRESS: The Tale Of The Fallen Kingdom

CELESTIAL 24

Gale

      THE IDEA OF SPENDING time with Kade's mom or My Mother's best friend overwhelms me. Kade's Mom were a lot like my Mom. Queen Natasha is a loving and cheerful woman.

Kade wanted to spend time with me the whole day but Mom was so persistent that she commanded Kade to attend a council meeting together with King Azariah, natawa ako nang sumama ang mukha ni Kade dahil sa inutos nang Mommy niya yet he still obeyed but it was clearly against his will.

I honestly wanted to save him but it was his Mother which is the Queen who commands her and I don't want to defy the Queens order. So, I just kissed Kade and whispered sweet nothings to his ears so that he won't be grumpy all day and it was effective. He whispered 'I love You' that sends butterflies in my stomach before letting me go.

"Thank you." Mom said with softness in her eyes.

Were walking at the garden at the back of the palace, there are guards and servants tailing us. The garden looks like a Maze I will surely be lost if I will be walking here alone.

I looked at her as she sat on a wooden bench and I sat beside her. "For what, M-Mom." I'm still not used to call her Mom.

She looked at me with a smile and hold my hands. "For making William happy."

"I'm feeling blissful when I'm with him Mom, and he's always smiling when he's with me." I smiled.

Umusog si Mom nang upo sakin. "You see Gale, Kade wasn't like that. He's cold and distant especially when that accident happened, but when he's with you he's like a different person—a good different."

"Accident?"

The Queen Nod. "Looks like he didn't tell you yet. I don't want to talk about it as well." Umiwas siya nang tingin.

I want to asked pero wala ako sa lugar para pilitin yun, when she clearly doesn't want to talk about it.

"I've never seen William laugh like that, so Careless and his eyes are beaming with love and happiness. And that's because of you." Her eyes watered.

I hold her hand as well. "Cold or not I love him nonetheless, he's like my air hole inside a closed box. My very own comfort zone." I smiled warmly.

Kade's Mom hug me after I said that. "You have Ayvah's heart and Ephraim's bravenes." She whispered.

She let go of me still smiling, she wipes her tears with her palm.

"How do you know that I'm their daughter? I thought they didn't tell anyone about having a child." I curiously asked. Now that I think of it she knows immediately that I'm her best friend's daughter.

She smiled. "It's my ability, I can see through people and your Mom told me about you."

Napatango ako. "I miss them." I whispered.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't there when she needed me the most. When she's always there for me every time I needed her." She sobbed.

I immediately hugged her. "Please don't cry, it wasn't your fault. No one wants that to happen." I whispered and let her go.

She took a deep breath to calm herself and stopped the tears from falling. "I honestly don't know what happened, Domino used to be your Mom's friend."

Napakunot ang noo kung tumingin sa kanya. "Friend? Then why did he killed my parents?" My voice is full of resentment.

Umiling iling ang Reyna. "I don't know, really. Your parents are so kind, wala akong kilalang nakaaway nila, pero kung meron man I'm sure they can defend themselves just fine, your Mom is a very powerful Enchantress but I think I might have an idea why Domino betrayed them."
