"Fall in line, never speak before the King and never raise your heads when the King doesn't say so."
Sabay-sabay kaming napatango at yumuko upang hintayin ang pagdating ng Hari. I was chosen as the 6th candidate for the Queen's position.
Among the twelve women, I am only the unworthy one. Coming from a commoner family with no background, I was chosen to pay the tax of my parents to the Western Palace.
I wouldn't even bother thinking that even the tip of my dress would caught the interest of the King.
Kilala ang hari ng Northern lands na isang makisig at makapangyarihan. Sa agwat ng position namin ay mas hihilingin ko pang maging katulong na lamang.
The door suddenly opened with the cold sound of the footsteps.
Kahit nakayuko ay makikilala mo talaga na siya ang Hari. His aura is intimidating that you wouldn't wish to caught his attention and make him angry.
"These are the women that was sent from the VeraNor your Majesty, all of them can be a spouse and their hearts aren't belong to someone."
"Hmm... They're ugly."
Nanlamig ako sa aking kinatatayuan dahil sa narinig, alam kong wala akong pag-asa pero ansakit lang marinig na hindi kaaya-aya ang mukha ko.
"Aren't you gonna choose your Majesty?"
"No, I don't like them."
"Your majesty please pardon your decision, you need your spouse to have an heir for the throne."
Tanging paghinga kolang ang maririnig ko, pilit itinatago sa sarili ang kabang nararamdaman ko.
"Then I'll choose that woman, she looks fine among the others."
Nagulat ako nang bigla akong hinila ng lalake kaya aksidente kong naingat ang tingin kaya nagtama ang paningin namin.
"This woman your Majesty?"
Tumango ito habang nakapanglumbaba sakanyang upuan. "What's your name?"
"I-I am Isabella La Florante your Majesty," I answered.
Our eyes were locked to each other and I saw a glimpse of emotion I didn't understand.
It was like happiness... and sadness.
Why would an underground smells like this? It doesn't stink but something is wrong.
Nilakad ko pa ni maigi ang pababa ng hagdan hanggang sa umabot ako sa pinakadulo.
It was a door and it suddenly move.
Wait! Did it just move?
Marahan akong naglakad at binuksan ang pinto. Nang makapasok ako ay ang unang bumungad sa'kin ang lumulutang na mga libro at nagliliparang silver dusts.
Ilalalakad ko na sana muli ang paa ko ngunit bigla akong nakarinig ng tubog mula sa gilid kaya marahan akong lumapit at nakita ang lalakeng nakatagilid sa'kin.
His eyes shown as brightly as if they were fairies themselves, and his face held a delicate balance of youth and knowledge for he had an abundance of both. His tongue sat in the corner of his mouth, gripped between his teeth as he focused on a fairy that was sprinting and tumbling across his fingertips.
He was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. He was like a walking butterfly in between the flowers.
Who is he?
Is he the librarian?
Or maybe a fairy?
I wanna know who he is.
