i sigh once again as i stare the starry sky in my balcony. it's been 3 days since i'm staying here in the palace. i'm so tired teaching other knights how to fight properly. nagkita din kami ng mga nakasama kong kawal at magicians sa digmaan noong tatlong taon na nakakaraan.
"princess herady! how we miss you so much!"
" you're really back!"
"you're still beautiful as always!"
" please beat me up! i mean teach me again just like the old times!"
bungad nila saakin nang bumisita ako sa training ground ng palasyo. also, for 3 days, i've been avoiding that man not until earlier.
"your majesty..." why? why did i bumped to him here in the rose garden?!
ilang segundo kami nagtitigan nang magsalita siya.
"is it true?" i thought the tone of his voice will change, i guess that's really his tone.
"what are you referring to, your majesty?" magalang kong pahayag sakanya habang pinapanuod kami ni clyde sa likod ko. somehow he became my personal knight according to this man's command.
"that you'll participate in the upcoming war." so he knew. of course he'll know herady! he's already the king!
"as you said, yes i'll be joining."
"but it's dangerous especially what happened-" naputol ang sasabihin niya at nakita kong kinuyom niya ang kanyang kamay. is he talking about what happened to me in the ambush?
"if that's what you want, just be careful." huli niyang habilin at umalis sa harap ko. ramdam ko ang simoy ng hangin na tumama saakin at ang aroma ng mga rosas sa tabi ko.
what was that?
"he's being weird." i murmur while putting my hand under my chin. it's also been 3 days since aziel went back to his fortress. i wonder when he'll come back? is he still reminiscing about his teacher?
"who's being weird?" napalingon ako sa gilid ko nang may nagsalita.
"aziel!" wow, he suddenly appeared out of nowhere! parang kanina lang siya ang iniisip ko.
"do you miss me your highness?" bungad niya nang makababa na siya sa railings.
"as if! nawala ka lang ng tatlong araw. besides i've become busy this days!"
" really? good for you. i guess you've adjust well while staying in the palace." napatigil ako sa sinabi niya habang malalim niya ako tinitigan.
" didn't expect that you'll return soon right?" he's right. hindi ko pa natatapos ang pag aaral ko sa claveria high pero dahil sa nangyaring ambush kamakailan, hindi ko inaasahang makakabalik ako kaagad sa lugar na ito. it's actually peaceful here unlike before.
"yeah, you're right. i also didn't expect that many people will welcome me warmly-"
"i'm so glad you're back princess herady!"
" we're sorry if we can't do anything when the late king abuses you! "
" from now on, we'll try to protect you even it cost our lives! "
" o-okay. i think you guys are being-"
" herady! "
" thiarra, i- woah. "
" welcome back hera. "
"- and that man will become weird."
" your highness. "
