SEISHA:

Being stranded in this body for months had been a rollercoaster ride for me. Hindi man katulad ng iba na maranasan lahat ng pagsubok na halos ikamatay na nila, mukhang akin ay casual lang pero matindi.

'Yong tipong mababaliw ka na sa daming iniisip na wala namang nag-presenta para sagutin isa-isa ang mga tanong na bumabagabag sa utak ko.

Being an overthinker sucks, and that is why I hate myself for constantly doing what I hate the most: overthinking of innumerable possibilities.

Kailan ba matitigil ang lahat?

What I heard that night echoed in my head countless times every time Lucius looked at me. He said he would ask me about what they talk, but it has been the whole afternoon and the elephant in the room is still attached.

Tinatapos namin ang gawain na hindi natapos kagabi, at habang balisa sa ginagawa, palagian pumapasok sa isipan ko ang usapan nila.

The King of Zegordia wants our presence in an engagement party of Lucius' cousin. Sinong cousin ang tinutukoy nito? As far as I know, the royal family has a lot of relatives and there are few who reside in Huin. Hindi ko maisa-isa ang mga ito dahil sa dami.

Hindi din ako pwede magtanong dahil magtataka lamang siya kung bakit ko alam. Isa pa, why would he order his men to stay alert for a possible attack if we go there?

Nababahala ako kung bakit kaya hindi ko alam ang isasagot baka sakali na tanungin niya ako kung gusto kong dumalo.

It would be a best option to decline, but the reputation of the Crown Prince might be at risk if his fiance did not attend the banquet.

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin ko. There is something that is bugging me, and that has been keeping me awake for a while.

After knowing Lucius was involved in matters of Suin, it made me realize that he has capabilities that his father did not know.

Isali pa na napag-usapan nila kagabi ang isyu tungkol sa mutiny, at ang mga salita na hindi ko inaasahan na sasabihin niya. There are a lot of clues, but I can't ponder them all. Nahihirapan ako kung ano ang uunahin ko.

Isali pa na lagi kong naaalala ang mga katagang binitawan ng babaeng dumalaw sa akin pagkatapos naging pula ang buwan. She wants me to go to the palace and regain what was lost.

If I go there, will the questions that bugs me regarding those interactions be answered? Paano kung mapapahamak ako? If I take the risk just to get my questions answered, would it guarantee my safety?

"My love?"

Nag-angat ako ng tingin ng marinig ko itong magsalita. I plastered my usual look when someone bothered me while I was busy.

Lucius plastered a smile before he gently touched my head and offered his hand. Gusto niya ata akong tumayo kaya hindi na ako nag atubili na tanggapin iyon. He immediately encircled his hands on my waist and pulled me close to him.

"Sana naman dinis-miss mo muna ako kaibigan, bago umiiral ang kalagkitan mo," rinig naming bigkas ni Sebastian bago siya natatawa na naglakad. May pailing-iling pa itong ginagawa bago tuluyang nawala sa paningin ko. "I will be in the stable, your highness and Princess of Henia."

"You're unreasonably clingy these days, your Highness."

"I'd prefer touch than any form of affection, my love." He put the loose strand of my hair behind my ear as he returned his hand coping my right cheek. "I've been patient for months, Sasha. You are torturing me—"
