The Princess-Queen [Wainwright Series 3] [R-18]

PRINCESS 18: The Reigning Queen

CALIBER

I did not know that my future queen is capable of being devious. Yet it is for the best. I like how she mocks Jiara despite the acting she and my Dad have pulled off. Even my pal, Padjia, and her knight, Prinston, were the surprise of the flow.

Kimora explained everything to us. She started from the few interrogations that my Dad has with her.

"It was all an act!? I thought he was serious!" Bulyaw ko at napatakip naman ng tainga si Kimora.

"Well, don't blame him on this alone. Malay ko bang pakikinabangan niya rin ang acting skills ko?" Pagtataray niya sa akin at tumawa si Prisnton sa kaniya.

Humingi naman ng tawad agad si Prinston dahil sinamaan ito ng tingin. "Pagpasensiyahan mo na, Caliber. Ganiyan din si Kimora noong nasa Western kami. She's such an actress. She was entitled as one of the best actors at her school's play. Then, her little sister copied her."

"And became worst! The brat became a manipulative human being and start to put the blame on me!" Dagdag pa ni Kimora. Bumuntong-hininga si Kimora saka sumeryoso na. "As for request of your father, I will do my acting for as long as I can."

Tumango kaming tatlo at napahawak bigla si Kimora sa kaniyang ulo. "I need some rest too. May I, gentlemen?"

"Excuse us," sabay na sambit ng dalawa saka lumabas.

Naiwan na kaming dalawa ni Kimora at ngumiti siya ng tipid. "This is going to be a long journey," she said exasperatingly.

"How about we cut it shorter?" Ngiti kong tanong sa kaniya.

"I don't want to. The thrill of pestering them is good."

"Mora..." I warmly warned her. "You shall not be touch by anyone."

She sighs and shrugs. "Okay. For the safety of our child, let's cut out our enemies off." Sagot niya sa akin.

KIMORA

The Engagement Party blew everyone's mind off. Including his family and the Tahirs. Along with these are the secret request and stories of Caliber's father to me. As future queen, I must carry on the secret mission alone while asking help from Caliber.

Overnight, I was just a princess. The intimidating and refine woman that Papá shaped into the perfect queen. I look at the mirror and saw my pale complexion when I am back to the room where it all started. I shyly look iver my shoulder, at my soon-to-be king and husband who is in his blues. Three-fourth cotton dark blue shorts and paired dark blue sando. Lumapit siya sa akin at pinatong ang dalawa niyang kamay sa aking balikat. He caresses my shoulder to ease my uneasy feeling. It kind of work.

"Kimora, I haven't gotten the chance to tell you this about the Engagement Party... That was the craziest stunt I have ever seen. Men who did not take you before are missing out on such an opportunity. Pero mabuti na rin at walang pumansin sayo. Kundi wala ka sa tabi ko ngayon."

I giggle and touch his left knuckle with my right hand. "They certainly did. But I don't think I'll go with just that stunt alone." Nakakaloko kong saad sa kaniya.

"What do you mean?" Untag nito.

Isang pilyong ngiti ang pinakawalan ko. "I should've brought knights with my family insignia encrypt in their armors. People would tremble, Caliber. But that won't be enough. It must be led by my sister, Khanarie, and her bunch of killer pillars." Gusto kong tumawa sa paglunok niya. Dali rin ito nakabalik sa dati at hinalikan ako sa pisngi.
