Hiding the Emperor's Daughter

CHAPTER 7

PAGKAPASOK ni Dimitrio sa loob ng kwarto ni Mhielle ay naabutan niya ito na nakatayo sa harap ng malaking salamin.

"Magawnda akho!" Mhielle proudly said at the front of the body size mirror,napangiti na lang sya sa kakulitan nito.

"Who taught you that word?" he asked ng makalapit na siya rito.

"The girl who entered my room a while ago, she teach me how to use the other things inside this room and you know what? I can already wear underwears and bra, yeheyy!"  Namula nalang sya sa mga sinabi nito, why does she have to mention about that.

"B-but, I already teach you how yesterday right? Am I not a good teacher?" may pagtatampong wika niya.

"Oh yeah? You're not even looking at me straigh yesterday, and almost of what I understand is just a 'shit' and fu—"

"O-okay, okay! You're right."  hindi na nya ito pinatapos dahil baka kung ano pa ang ibang mabanggit nito.

"Let's go downstairs," aya nya dito. They went into the dining area where foods are already prepared. It will be the first time in morning that he is going to eat with a woman inside the dining.

He pull a chair for Mhielle bago sya umupo sa harapan nito, sya na rin ang naglagay ng mga pagkain sa plato nito bago niya asikasuhin ang sa kaniya.

"Dimrio,*munch* can I study *munch**munch* tagalog language?" she said while eating.

"Don't speak when your mouth is full princess!" pag sesermon niya rito.
  "And yeah, I'm going to hire you a tutor so that you will learn well,"  dugtong pa nya na ikinangiti naman ni Mhielle.

"Where are we going  today Dimirio?" Mhielle asked while looking at her food.

"We are going at my parents's mansion later, for now just eat and stop takling okay,"

"Okayyy!"...

After eating their breakfast ay agad silang umalis at tinahak ang daan patungo sa mansion ng kaniyang mga magulang. When they reach their mansion ay agad silang pinapasok ng guard na tila ay iniexpect na ang kaniyang pagdating. He went out of the car and opened the door for Mhielle and went inside their parents house.

"Is she the princess son?"   napatingin sya sa may hagdanan ng marinig ang boses ng kaniyang ama, it doesn't look mad or disappointed that made him feel relief. Tumango lamang sya biglang sagot,  he hold Mhielle's hand tightly when he feel that she's uncomfortable.
They follow his dad when it gesture to follow him at the living room, and there he saw her mother sitting comfortable at the sofa.

"Good morning mom," he greeted her mother then kissed her cheeks.

"good morning son, and to you too pretty lady. Sit down,"  agad naman silang umupo ni Mhielle sa kaharap nitong upuan at tinignan ang kaniyang mga magulang. His Father heave a sigh before he speaks.

"I heard the news."  Napayuko na lamang sya, he don't know if his father is mad or what.

"But, I know you son. You have your reason in every action you made, and whatever your reason is I will always support you,"

"No hon, we, we will always support you," dag dag ng kaniyang ina na naging dahilan ng pagngiti nya.

"So, when is the wedding?"  halos masamid sya kahit wala naman syang kinakain dahil sa biglang sinabi ng kaniyang ina.

"Mom!" may pag babantang turan niya sa kaniyang ina ngunit tinawanan lamang sya nito. Tinignan nya si Mhille ng maalala niya ito, she is just looking at the floor and quietly listening to them.

"Uhmmm,ehem! I will formally introduce to you this beautiful lady beside me, she is Mhielle Zhao, princess of Zhao empire and ehem! At magiging manugang nyo HAHAHAHAHA!" They all laugh except for Mhielle that seems don't understand the last words he said.

"What did you say?" bulong nito sa kaniya ngunit inilingan nya lamang ito.

"Nothin—"

"Sorry to interrupt sir, meron pong mga tao sa labas, pinapasabi po na galing daw sila sa Zhao Palace mula sa China." Nag katininginan naman silang lahat, kumapit ng mahigpit si Mhielle sa braso ni Dimitrio kaya naman niyakap niya ito.

"Shhh, it's ok, everything is gonna be alright." Pag papagaan niya sa  loob nito.

"What do they want?" tanong ng kaniyang ama sa tauhan nito.

"They say, they want to tell it to you personaly." nakayukong sagot naman nito.

"Son, get inside your room, I'm going to talk to some peace of shit!" Agad naman syang tumango at inalalayan si Mhielle patungo sa dating kwarto niya at nilock ito.  They both sat on his bed and he is shock when Mhielle hug him tight.

"P-promise me, you're not going to bring me back to that place, please!"  hearing Mhielle's sobs made him sad, there is a part of him that doesn't want Mhielle to be sad nor worried.

"I promise, I won't give you back, dahil papakasalan pa kita."
