I am the Long Lost Princess

27

Lia's POV

I woke up with rhe creaking of the door.

I looked at it and saw my guy step inside, so I quickly got up and run to him and hugged him tightly.

"How's your sleep?" He asked

"Good"

"Good Morning, Mi amor"

"Good Morning, Mi Caballero" I said with a big smile kahit nakapikit parin ako. Inaantok pa kasi talaga ako eh.

"Are you really awake?"

"Sleepy" I said and pout.

"Hop on" he said.

I hopped on his back and rested my cheek on his shoulder and we did a piggy back ride pababa to have our breakfast. It's weekends today at uuwi sila Mommy to visit us here, mamayang gabi yung dating nila.

I felt a 3 set of eyes staring at us when we reach the dining area.

"Wag na po kayo magugulat, araw araw po akong sinasampal na third wheel ako dito" I heard Kris said and a laughter next.

"May pang-blackmail na ko sayo. Sa school sinasabunutan mo ko ah. Princess Amelia Ferrocci, super pa-baby inside the house" rinig kong sabi ni Naiah pero wala akong pake.

"Let's eat first" sabi ni Jai sakin at ibinaba ako sa may upuan ko.

"It's your fault" I said to Naiah and pout. "Pinuyat mo ko kagabi dahil sa kakakwento tungkol kay–"

Hindi ko na natuloy ang sasabihin ko nang bigla akong subuan ni Naiah ng apple sa bibig ko.

"You're saying something?" Tanong nya at may pagbabanta yung tingin nya

Sinamaan ko sya ng tingin at kumain nalang ng food na inilagay ni Jai sa plato ko.

"You saw how she looked at me?" Mahinang sabi ko kay Jai. "Ganti mo ko, she put an apple on my mouth" I added while holding onto his pinky finger and ranting like a child.

Natawa ng mahina si Jai dahil sa inasal ko

"Opo, gaganti tayo" Bulong nya sakin at hinalikan ako sa noo.

"Uy hanap kakampi" asar ni Naiah sa akin

"Zenaiah" pagwawarn sa kanya ni Tita Tonette. I put my tongue out to her lang

"Anyways, what time will you meet Bryce again?" Tanong ni Jai sa kanya kaya nanlaki ang mata nya at ako naman nakangiti nang i-ganti ako ni Jai.

"Who's Bryce?"

"Oh, you didn't know? I thought you have an idea already. Sorry" sabi ni Jai kay Tito Zoe

"Prince, bat naman may name drop?"

"Because, only I can put a food inside Amy's mouth?"

Nakangiting tagumpay lang ako habang namamawis si Naiah.

"Bryce? Narinig ko na yung pangalan na yun, diba yun yung kinwento mo kay Lia kahapon sa school, yung mineet niyo nung last last week?" Pagsabay naman ni Kris

"Sino ba si Bryce? Kaklase niyo? Zenaiah, may boyfriend ka na ba?"

"Ah...hehe.... H-Hindi pa, Dad."

"Hindi pa? So meaning nanliligaw? Bakit di namin alam?"

"Don't worry, Jai and I met him already and we did some background check on him and also pinasundan namin siya for a week, he's clean" I said to save Naiah kahit papaano.

Sinipa nya ako sa ilalim ng upuan kaya tinignan ko sya ng masama.

"Ok, but, I also want to meet this Bryce" sabi ni Tita Tonette

"Sure po, I'll tell him"

"Advice ko lang sayo, kung takit sya ma-meet parents mo or if he did some alibi for him to not meet your parents, ekis agad. Ang tunay na lalaki at kung seryoso sya sayo, haharapin nya magulang mo kahit na iwelcome pa sya nila ng armalite" advice ni Kris

"Bakit? Ganon ka ba sa parents ni Calliah?" Tanong ni Jai

"Wag mo nga banggitin pangalan nun!" Sabi ni Kris.

"What happened?" I asked curious about his reaction

"Minsan na nga lang manligaw, basted pa."

"Oh, sorry"

"Tara, shot puno"

"Zenaiah Wyonette Santos"

"Joke lang, Mom. Hindi pa nga ako nakakatikim ng alak eh" sabi nya kaya natawa ako.

We talk and even mock each other while eating, ang sarap lang sa pakiramdam na madami kaming nagsasalo salo, not the usual na tatlo lang kami.

"Teka, paano ka natuto humawak ng baril at bumaril?" Tanong ni Naiah

"Being a Royalty, you need to know a lot of things about the palace and even protecting yourself. At the age of 5, silang tatlo marunong ng bumaril at humawak ng mga armas, they how to defend themselves pero syempre bata lang rin naman sila noon, but yeah, 5 years old pumapana at bumabaril na silang tatlo" paliwanag ni Tito Zoe kaya tumango ako

"Tsaka matagal na akong nagsistay with Kris and Jai dito sa mansion. Basta, may amnesia pa ako nun. Even before the school found a painting sa art room. Tapos sumasama ako sa kanila magtraining sa training center namin dito sa Pinas, dun din nahasa yung skills ko"

"Ang cool, gusto ko rin. Dad, Mom, pwede akong sumama din sa kanila?"

"If they will let you"

"Heads up lang ah, walang magrereklamo sa sakit ng katawan, tsaka kung hahanap ka ng ka-sparring, iwasan mong piliin si Lia. Life and death and ending mo" sabi ni Kris

"Epal mo" sabi ko sa kanya.

"Ok lang, para at least alam ko rin protektahan ang sarili ko"

"And you will need it to. Lahat ng malapit sa akin, sigurado akong idadamay nya"

"He's still on the loose?"

"Mhm, but, my plan is on the process"

"Sino?"

"Chismosa ka kasi eh" sabi ni Kris sa kanya

"Promise me whatever is being discussed inside the mansion will remain in the mansion" I said

"Yes, promise. Chismosa ako pero may filter bibig ko, grabe ka sakin" singhal nya kay Kris

"Prof Constantino" Jai said

"What?! Sya yung gustong pumatay sayo? Bakit?"

"Sa mga monarch country, anak, hindi maiiwasan na may ayaw sayo. When they found out that the Ferrocci's child is a girl, William Constantino is one of the few that is against Spain having a Girl leader. Syempre nga naman from King Henry, to King Warren, to Prince Jairo, they're all men, then here comes Princess Amelia, they underestimated her because she looks innocent and sweet, sabi nila hindi nya kayang ipagtanggol ang Espanya. What they don't know is that, she's already training since she was a kid, her own will, walang pilitan. William Constantion formed a rebellious group, ilang beses na sila sumugod sa mga Ferrocci, ruining their vacations and yun nga muntik nila mapatay si Princess Lia sa eroplano kung hindi pa namin plinano na i-crash yun. Until now, he's following her tracks lalo ngayon alam na nya na nakakaalala na si Lia"

"Kaya din sya yung prof ulit natin. For him to track me. One of my men na akala nya ally nya is nakuha na yung passport nya. Nasa akin na yun, so kahit magplano sya ng escape plan, he won't be able to escape both land, air, and water"

"Kayo lahat nagplano nun? Astig!!"

"Tinatapos ko lang yung laban namin dito. He wants me, ako ang haharap sa kanya. Once it's all done, babalik din po kami sa Spain, my parents favored me to continue college there dahil gusto nila ako makasama"

"Oh" Naiah said in a sad tone

"I will visit you naman eh, vacation, semestral break and even holidays, I will visit you. Kailangan ko rin kasi magstay na dun once I turned 18 to do my duty as a Princess"

"I know, I understand" Naiah said and smiled.

Nagpatuloy na kami sa pagkain at nagsiready narin kami para pumunta sa training center.
