Chapter 25: Ever Ball

Aizaia Yzabelle's POV

"Shaniel dear, which gown do you prefer, the ruffle dress or the mermaid dress?" Lady Soleil asked while busy picking some dresses for the ball.

"The ruffle one." I said immidiately, ayoko naman piliin yung mermaid dress maya maya magmukha akong little mermaid 2.0 shokoy version noh hahaha.

"Really you like that one? I prefer the mermaid dress though." She disappointedly said.

I just rolled my eyes, wow ha nagtanong pa siya?

"Lady Soleil, the green ruffle dress looks dazzling to me, it fits me perfectly and it makes me look slim. But with the mermaid dress, I look like an unidentified creature." I joked.

No offense ha, pero ang jejemon kase tingnan nung mermaid dress. If I would describe it para siyang cocktail dress na may pafeather sa ibaba. Naging half ibon half mermaid na siya.

Ang chararat tingnan, it's a no no.

"Mother knows best Shaniel." Lady Soleil said and patted my head. Well not all mother knows best.

"This is my party okay? Let me choose what I'll wear." I despirately said and she just let me. Well walang makakapigil sakin.

Okay sana kung 'Lady Soleil party' eh hindi party 'to para sa engagement namin ni Zyair kaya I'm the boss today at siya ang muchacha ko, kidding.

"Did you know that Zyair planned his proposal for you for weeks? Buti nalang at pumayag ka dahil kung hindi ay itatakwil talaga kita Shaniel, you know your marriage with Zyair is the only way to save the kingdom." She devastatedly said.

Here she go again, akala mo naman naging mabuting Reyna siya kung nakapagsabi siya na ako nalang ang tanging pag-asa ng Chinoa?

Yes I care for my people, the citizens of Chinoa even though I'm not really their Shaniel, I'm not the real princess.

But I just can't help to feel disappointed knowing that I'm just being used for power and wealth.

I feel bad for Zyair, all these years he let Shaniel to use him. It must be really painful and hard for him that's why I won't do the same.

I will marry Zyair not because of power, but for the reason that I love him.

I don't even know why I agreed to this marriage. I wasn't ready for this.

Maybe I was just carried away by zyair's message to me because I was touched but honestly I'm not really ready to get married yet, I'm still 24 years old after all I want to have a stable job first, to earn money, and fulfill my dreams.

Besides doesn't it seems too fast? Zyair and I have only known each other for almost three months, I don't want to rush things.

Love is worth the wait. Zyair is worth the wait.

If Zyair is really the man for me, no matter how long it takes we are both willing to wait and stay faithful to each other.

Kinuha ko ang green na russian ruffle curtain gown at dinala ito pataas ng kwarto. 

As I walk up to the stairs, I can't help but to amaze how luxurious and superb the arrangements are, every decorations are themed as black and gold. Ang sarap lang tingnan sa mata, it looks so aesthetic.

I went inside my room and opened the door. Napanganga nalang ako nang makita na may dalawang mananahi na nag memeasure ng isang puting wedding gown, is this for Zirah?

"Princess Shaniel you're here!" Ani ng babae at agad akong hinila papasok ng kwarto.

"What is that gown for? Bakit niyo ko susukatan? I already have a gown to wear later at the ever ball." I said and they just laughed at me
