Violet the Wallflower | COMPLETED

Chapter 38

Hindi ko alam kung anu na nangyare doon welcoming ceremony kanina. Medyo lumipad na kasi utak ko pagkatapos nung nilapitan kami nung baliw na prinsipe. Sobra yung kaba ko pati pangalan ni Prince Uriel nakalimutan ko. Napatingin ako kay Prince Uriel na nakaupo sa tapat ko. Kasalukuyan kaming nakasakay ngayon sa carriage namin pauwi na sa Glyn estate.

Kanina ko pa kasi iniisip kung bakit ganun ang naging reaction ni Prince Uriel kay Lily. During the ceremony, ang tahimik niya rin tapos parang ang lalim ng iniisip. Did he perhaps fall in love at first sight? You don't really underestimate the protagonist's buff.

But I think there's more to it. "Your Highness, there is something I want to ask", napatingin naman siya saakin.

"What is it?"

"Uhh.. I just noticed something earlier. Do you know Lady Lily? Well, just based on your reaction earlier, it's like you know her", mukha siyang nagulat sa tanong ko. Nagtaka naman ako ng biglang siyang ngumiti.

"Cyan did tell me that you were quite astute", kapatid ko talaga mahilig ako i-chismiss din. "I was just surprised to see Lady Lily at the party, especially with my brother".

So you knew her. When I learned that Cyan found him in the Pelera territory, a thought came to my mind. Gawa-gawa ko lang ito sa utak ko.

"Your Highness, I'm guessing you knew her five years ago? When the accident happened, Lady Lily, incidentally, saw you and helped you, is that right?", from a novel reader's perspective, isn't this some kind of cliched backstory? I mean, this world is from a novel, yung mga ganitong mga twist normal na lang.

"You're quite scary, Lady Violet. How do you know that? Are you clairvoyant?", ani niya na gulat na gulat sa sinabi ko. 

So, totoo nga? "No I'm not. That would be impossible. It was just a wild guess". I can't believe na may ganun ngang nangyari? I think I should start writing my own book. Ah, baka sumikat ako. Huwag na pala. 

Is this something that was supposed to be revealed on the second book? Baka mamaya si Prince Uriel pala ang main male lead at si Prince Gabriel ang final villain? The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced. I need to share this to Duke Daniel. 

Now, the problem is, ano yung mga mangyayari sa book 2? Tch! 

"But Lady Lily doesn't know that I'm the first prince. Actually, there is something I haven't told you yet. In the past 5 years that I've been hiding in the Pelera territory, I often saw my brother visiting the Sartre barony", hmm? The more I hear about the crown prince, the more suspicious he becomes. Don't tell me, he's been pursuing Lady Lily for 5 years?  

"Don't you think it has something to do with Lady Lily's healing abilities?", that's the only reason I can think of. 

"So you were aware of her abilities. You've been surprising me a lot, Lady Violet", charot ka! Sa dami ng nabasa kong stories, yung mga ganitong eksena ay common na. 

"I just found out by accident", it's a common twist of event pero hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin ni Prince Gabriel kay Lily. Does he even have feelings for her?
