One month had passed like a blur, and three days ago I went back to our manor.

So far, wala pa namang nakaka-stress na dumadating sa akin and I don't intend on attract those negative vibes right now.

I'm at calm and peace, and I plan it to stay that way.

Or so I thought.

"My lady, a letter from the palace arrived," imporma sa akin ni Glenna sabay abot ng isang puting envelope.

May seal pa ito na gold sa gitna na siyang nagpapatunay na isa itong lehitimong sulat galing sa palasyo. Well, unless manakaw. Which is impossible. Since the king, queen and the crown prince is the only people who could use the golden seal.

If galing sa ibang relatives ng mga Faeroe, red is the next color for their seal, while us, Marquez's- is platinum.

Nagpasalamat ako kay Glenna at binuksan ang sulat nang makalabas ito.

To: Lady Lacy Cunningham Marquez

Greetings to lady Marquez! The King and Queen would like to invite you for the meeting of the upcoming official duel between the house of Marquez and Brandenburg for the position of Crown Princess.

The King and Queen would like to meet you in the Banquet Hall this coming Saturday, together with two representative in your family. We will be waiting for your reply and presence on the mentioned date.

From: Faeroe Palace

Huminga ako nang malalim bago tumayo at inilapag ang sulat sa coffee table. Tumungo ako sa pintuan ng aking terrace pero hindi ko ito binuksan, tumanaw lang ako sa labas at nag-isip nang malalim.

So it is really happening... The duel to become the crown princess, the queen of Faeroe, and the crown prince's soon to be wife will be happening any moment now.

They made it official, of course. That's how greedy Brandenburg is. Like father, like daughter, I guess.

They are calling for a meeting, meaning, gagawin nang official ang duel between them, whoever wins and got the favor of many, then that will be the future ruler of Faeroe, alongside with the Crown Prince.

Am I nervous? Hmm... Probably... not.

Why should I get nervous?

A smirk appeared on my lips as an image of the person appeared on my mind.

Izabel Brandenburg.

Of course, makakalimutan niya ba ang babaeng umapid sa kanila ng dati niyang asawa, ang dahilan kung bakit siya namatay, nawala ang mga taong mahahalaga sa kaniya, nawala ang lahat sa kaniya at higit sa lahat ang kumitil sa isang walang kamuwang-muwang na isisilang niya sana para maging isang ganap na pamilya sila ni Izaak noon.

Talaga nga namang umaayon lahat sa kaniya ang pagkakataon.

The adrenaline rush she's feeling right now can't contain and explain how excited she is.

Her heart is racing so hard, she's excited at the same time anger ate her.

Kinuha niya ang sulat sa mesa at pinagmasdan niya ito nang biglang unti-unti itong kinain sa itim na apoy.

Her eyes turned black, she could see her reflection on the mirror glass as her eyes glistened for a moment.

I've never been this so eager to make our lives turned upside down. I can't wait to make your lives miserable.
