"Let's all welcome! The new Queen of Royals! Queen Mavy Kalene Xortex!"

It all sounds bizarre. It all sounds like a dream. Parang dati lang ay tandang-tanda ko kung gaano ko gustong pinangarap na makaupo sa trono na inuupuan ko lang ngayon at maging Reyna. Before, it all sounds like a far away dream because of the people's disgust and hatred towards me.

Tanggap ko na na si Misty ang magiging susunkd na Reyna, and I accepted it with my whole heart. If it costs their feelings and emotions na magbago para saakin, tatanggapin ko iyon.

I just wanted their acceptance. I just wanted them to loved me.

But now, standing in front of these people changed me.

I will protect this people now with all my heart.

The party immediately started at agad akong napalibutan ng mga Gangsters. They laugh and told me stories of their missions and such. Kahit marami pa sa kanila ay puno ng mga bandages sa katawan ay nagawa pa din nilang makapunta sa coronation night.

Xein and Marzie are badly injured kaya nasa wheelchair pa din sila ngayon. Mary is pushing Xein around and also laughing with other guests habang si Michael naman ang kay Marzie, na sya namang kinaiinis nito.

I chuckled whenever I remember Marzie's horrified face when Michael volunteered to be her partner for the party.

"Am I the only one na hindi tinext ni Sheilyn para sa picture ng baby nya? Am I? Am i?" Narinig nyang paulit-ulit na tanong ni Kendall dahilan upang mapatawa syang muli.

Tanging sina Sheilyn at Ice lang ang hindi makapunta. Noong nakaraan lang din namin nalaman na buntis si Sheilyn at si Senji ang ama. I didn't even notice that they had a thing with each other.

Not that any of the Gangsters hates the baby, they love him. Halos araw-araw nga silang bumibisita dito para laruin ang bata, even Zai when he still can walk — which was adorable by the way.

Xian, Ice and surprisingly, Max, scold her for the whole hour because of that. Kung alam lang nila na buntis sya ay dapat nandoon lamang sya sa base nila, helping the wounded kaysa yung nakikipaglaban sya habang buntis sya.

I heard Tarzell snorted. "Well yeah. Maybe because the last time that she sent you a picture, maya-maya lang ay bumalik ka kaagad sa hospital para lang pisilin ang pisngi nya."

"It's not that bad!"

"It is." Tarzell deadpans.

Frankly speaking, kapansin-pansin ang pagbabago ni Tarzell pagkatapos ng digmaan. Not the dangerous kind of change though, but something like grief. He's very aloof and very quiet na minsan ay hindi mo na lang sya napapansin na wala na pala sya.

It only changed one time too. The day that he became so brightful and happy. At iyon ay 'yung araw na nagpakita saamin si Alyll para kausapin kami. Para sabihin na wala syang balak na masama. Gusto nya na lang mapalayo at mabuhay ng tahimik.
