TWISTED FATE OF THE KNIGHT

Chapter Sixty-Six: Royal Library

"G, Good morning, Your Highness. Good morning Sir Kerz and Sir Dravis," I said as I approached them as I sat down beside Kerz while Kerz facing Dravis.

They smiled at me, "We should eat first before we go to the Royal Library," Prince Renz said, kaya napatingin ako sa kaniya. Did he just say 'we'? I don't remember him that he will accompany me.

"Did you just say 'we'?" I asked him as I looked at him with a questioning looked when he just smiled at me, "Yes, we," He said bago sya kumain. While my brain is still loading since I planned to avoid him and definitely ditch the breakfast but then it seems that he knows what I am thinking kaya agad na may nakaabang sa pintuan ko na maid kanina to make sure that I will eat breakfast with him. 

"I, I see," Nasabi ko na lang since andito na ako kaya no choice but to let him join me even though I want to run away this instant. I eat silently and faster so that I can go outside at makatakas sa kaniya but then he didn't eat his dessert when I was about to put down my water goblet since I am done eating and ready to say 'I will wait outside', when he said, " Let's go," as he stand up kaya halos mailabas ko ang iniinom kung tubig sa sinabi niya bago siya tumingin sa akin.

"Your Highness, you are not done with your desert," Kerz said na naghisterical dahil sa biglaang pag tayo ni Prince Renz at sinabing aalis na kami while Dravis wipes his mouth before standing up, "I'm done, so let's go," Dravis said kaya napatingin sa kaniya si Kerz at sinamaan ng tingin, "You too?" Kerz said,

"What are you waiting for?" Napatingin naman ako kay Prince Renz and I can see that they are all looking at me waiting for me to stand up since ako nalang ang hindi nakatayo sa dining table.

Natahimik ako pero agad din akong tumayo since nahiya naman ako at sumunod sa kanila.  Prince Renz didn't talk as we go to the Royal Library pati no'ng sa makasakay kami sa karwahe ay nakangiti lang siya na sa akin o kaya sa labas. 

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince," They said as they open the door of Royal Library which is made of gold and silver lining on its sides with the carved of the Winters Kingdom on it. Sumunod lang kami kay Prince Renz na naunang pumasok, at napakalawak ng libraryng ito since doble ang size neto sa Noble's Library.  

"Woah!" I unconsciously said because of amazement, pagkapasok na pagkapasok ko sa loob na napakalawak. Agad akong pumunta sa pinaka malapit sa akin na bookshelves at napakaayos ng mga libro na nakalinya na pare-pareho, tila ba naayos at nililinis lagi since I was ashamed to touch it dahil nakapalinis ng mga libro at book shelves.

"You seem really happy to be lost in thoughts since I have been calling you for a while now," I looked at Prince Renz who is at my right side habang tumitingin sa tinitignan ko banda. 

I smiled at him, "I am sorry, Your Highness.

"... I am just happy that I can enter here. May kailangan ka ba, kamahalan?" I said as I looked again in the books in front of me.

"Not really but I am curious of what book are you looking for?" He said as he touches the books in front of us before he looked at me as he smirks as if he was thinking something else. Naalala ko ang reaksyon niya tulad kay Kilden noon so I give him a cold gaze as he looked at me with a puzzled looked on his face. 

"I am looking for a book that can benefit me, Your Highness," I said which is true that it will benefit me. Although, I give up on believing that I can go back but I am still hoping for it even in the smallest hope within me. 

"Hm, really?" He said as he looked at me with a curious look on his face, " Of course, Your Highness," I answered him.

"I see," Sabi niya bago lumingon sa ibang direction as he walks away from me kaya medyo nakahinga ako konti since I feel like he is observing since Ash went somewhere even though I was avoiding him kahit na nakakasalubong ko siya.
