Astaroth's Proposal

Chapter 25

The noisy palace hall becomes silent because of the loud thud coming from the front door and there they saw a tall man, wearing a black tux with cape. The man is also wearing a black mask with golden dragon on the side of it and it's green eyes are too dangerous to be stared at plus the man have a crown on its head-the crown for the King of Greece.

"Looks like the birthday celebrant has arrived," wika ni Theíos Asval dahilan para mapabalik ako sa aking ulirat.

Kanina pa pala ako nakatitig sa lalaking bagong dating at sa hindi malamang dahilan ay hindi ko maalis ang mga mata ko rito. His green eyes looks so familiar and so as his body features.

"What's with this Dad-I mean, your Majesty?" the new King asked using a cold voice sending shiver on my spine.

"A surprise birthday party for your birthday and that is today," Theíos Asval response while smiling widely.

"I guess we caught the King off guard," tumatawang wika naman ni Theía Rhea.

The King proudly walks at the red carpet patungo sa kaniyang trono at labis akong nagpapasalamat na nasa pinakasulok na bahagi ako dahil kung hindi baka natuod na ako sa sobrang kaba at takot, dahil isa pa, isa lang naman akong saling pusa rito at paniguradong malalaman agad iyon ng bagong Hari.

"Sorry for being late," the King said coldly.

"It's nothing you're Highness," wika ng isang Duke na sinang-ayunan naman ng iba pa.

Ako ay nabibilib sa kanila sapagkat nakakayanan nilang makipag-usap sa Hari ng hindi man lang kumukurap at kinakabahan. Samantalang ako na nasa sulok na ay kabado pa rin. Kakakape ko yata 'to.

"I'm glad that you're all gathering here today. And it's true that you caught me off guard but oh well, it wouldn't be a surprise if I knew it all the time right?" the King said while smirking.

The King's voice sounds familiar on me pero hindi ko mapangalanan kung sino nga ba ang kilala kong kaboses nito dahil baka mamaya nag-aasume na naman ako.

"Let's all take a toast for the King," anunsyo ni Theíos Asval at kaniya-kaniya namang taasan ng kopita ang mga naroroon samantalang ang itinaas ko naman ang ang tasa ng aking kape sapagkat hindi ako umiinom ng alak dahil iyon ay masama sa kalusugan at isa pa ay isa akong doktor.

"Cheers!" sabay-sabay nilang wika at kalaunan ay nagtawanan.

Hindi ko lubos na maintindihan kung bakit sila natatawa e uminom lang naman sila. Royalties are weird.

Theíos Asval and Theía Rhea speaks with the King that I don't even know the name. Hindi naman kasi inanunsyo kanina ang arrival nito hindi kagaya ng mga naunang panauhin. Kung sino pa ang pinakaimportanteng tao, iyon pa ang hindi ipinakilala.

I am admiring Theíos Asval, Theía Rhea and the King at far. They looks so powerful together and elegant too. Halata talagang sila ay maharlika dahil tindig pa lamang ng mga ito ay nagsusumigaw na. And their eyes are tantalizing...green suits them well.

Because of the black tux, black cape and black mask with golden dragon design on the side the King looks like a Villain in my eyes. A scorching villain to be exact. Color black suits the King well, mas lalong Kapansin-pansin ang mga berde nitong mata nang dahil doon.

May butler na lumapit sa Hari kaya naman napabaling ang tingin ko roon, and that butler looks familiar to me also. I guess, I already met the butler here inside the palace hall. Ang dami kasing butler dito at iisa lamang ang mukha ng kanilang uniporme kaya baka nga nakasalamuha ko na ito.

The butler says something to the King dahilan para bahagyang kumunot ang noo nito and it looks so damn adorable.

A loud gasps escaped on my mouth when the green orbs of the King meets my blue one. Mabilis akong nag-iwas ng tingin sa Hari at inabala na lamang ang aking sarili sa pagkakape.
