SEISHA:

That clean-shaven attractive diamond shaped face, thick espresso on fleek eyebrows, iridescent ice green eyes with long and thick curvy eyelashes, that greek nose bridge complimenting his sharp jaw, and that pinkish medium-size lips.

I didn't miss his long straight charcoal hair and those small strands dancing with the wind. He was lying there like a King, with his left fist touching the left side of his forehead.

He didn't move when Kaellius repeatedly called his name, but he was staring dominantly at me.

That ice green eyes are domineering. Ilang beses na akong napalunok ng laway dahil sa tingin na 'yan. Para kang lalapain at gawin niyang hapunan.

"Hey, Seisha. Since wala ka namang naaalala, that man who's lazily staring at us is undoubtedly your husband—" pinutol ko ang sasabihin ni Kaellius gamit ang kanang kamay ko.

I momentarily closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Kung ano-ano na kasi ang dumadaloy sa utak ko. After gaining back my sanity, I looked at Kaellius, plastering my forced smile.

"We are not married, yet," I answered. It seems Kaellius also knows that he made a mistake, but instead of saying sorry, Kaellius shakes his head as a sign of disapproval. He clicked his tongue. Magsasalita na sana ito ngunit muli ko siyang pinatigil.

"Yes, I am inside the Crown Prince's residence, currently spending his money, and eventually being addressed as his wife. A Princess, the Lady of the Crown Prince, and sometimes addressed as Princess Seisha, and such. Without proper hosting of the wedding, I am not married to him."

Hindi ko alam kung saan ko nakuha ulit ang lakas ng loob mag-inarte sa harapan nilang tatlo. Una sa lahat, hindi ko alam kung ano ang pinagsasabi ko. I just have that feeling to say that to them, and if I don't, I might regret it.

Napatulala naman si Kaellius at ngumisi si Erique. He must have thought why I already know what he is about to say. Iyan kasi ang nababasa ko sa mga napanood kong chinese drama na biglang napunta ang kaluluha nila sa ibang katawan. Akala ko trip-trip lang 'yon ng script writer, nangyayari ba talaga?

"Forgive us, your highness. Makakalimutin kasi si Kael."

Tumingin ako sa gawi ni Erique. Bakit lagi niyang pinagtatakpan ang ugali ni Kaellius? He even calls him, Kael, and it seems like they are close.

Agad niyang sinundan ang sinabi niya, "indeed, Princess Seisha. Lahat ng Zegordians ay tinatawag kang asawa ng prinsipe at magiging kanang kamay nito sa pamumuno ng kaharian sa tamang panahon. You were picked by the King to be the future Queen, who will handle the Kingdom's internal affairs."

That part is one of the things I feared. Napagsabihan na ako ni Helena minsan kung ano ang dapat ginagawa ng isang Reyna. Hindi ko alam kung dapat ko bang ikatuwa ang sinabi ni Erique dahil nananatiling pilit ang ngiti ko.

I am not the Princess. Hindi ko alam kung ano ba ang dapat kong itugon dito. This royalty thingy is not my thing. Tumakas na nga lang ako, nadakip pa— wait.

"Did you guys know what happened before my wake? Where did you find me?"

"Oh! His Highness brought you back soaking wet, dirty, and passed out. The chambermaids cleaned you," mabilis na sagot ni Kaellius. Mukhang nakabalik na siya sa realidad. "I always knew your keen personality, your Highness. Pero, unang beses mo akong pinigilan sa sasabihin ko, lagi mong hinayaan akong magsalita kahit hindi ka naman nakikinig."

Kumikislap ang mga mata ni Kaellius na animo'y na-eenganyo siya sa kanyang nakikita. How can the Princess stand his ambitious personality?

Ayaw ko pa naman sa mga maiingay na tao kaya kung kaya ko silang pigilan, ginagawa ko. Yet, after a while I failed to do so. Dahil na rin sa hindi naman ako lumalabas ng condo unit at halos bahay-eskwela na ang peg ko, wala na rin akong masyadong kinakausap maliban kay Gwen.
