“N-nero! Please slow down. I'm wearing high heels!”
She said, and I just shrugged when the host saw us; he panicked and took the mic and announced our names.
Let's all bow down in respect to our Crown Prince of the House of Vermilion. Prince Nero Louise, together with her date, the Daughter of the Duke of Llibiene, Lady Beatrice Almora Blitz.
Napatingin kaagad ang mga bampira sa amin at rinig na rinig ko ang mga bulong-bulongan nila na siyang pinaka- ayaw ko sa lahat, pero ramdam kong gustong gusto ito ni Beatrice.
Bumaling ang tingin ko sa gawi ni Celestine na mukhang inuubos na ang kanyang alak.
Haist! Halos maubos na niya ang bote ng wine. Natigilan ako ng bigla siyang tumingin sa akin at sinipatan pa ako.
Anong nagawa ko? Does she really mad at me?
“I'm pleased to see you again, Prince Nero.” he greeted me while extending his hand in front of me.
He caught my attention, so I just shook his hand.
"Likewise, Lord hellius." Ngumiti siya sa akin at nagpatuloy pa ako sa pagbati ng mga bisita namin kasama nitong si Beatrice.
Let's bow down for our King & Queen of the house of Vermillion, King Zar Zacharias, together with his lovely wife our Queen Victoria Elize Vermillion.
Napatigil at namanha ang ilan sa pagbaba ng mga magulang ko, at kinasisiyahan ng lahat ng mga bampira dito sa hall.
Kumaway si mom sa kanyang mga bisita at si papa naman ay ngumingiti sa iilan. Napansin ko rin na wala dito si Vincent sa patitipon, maybe dad appoint him to do something I don't know.
"Ahm... Nero, mahal? Let's take a sit muna... medyo masakit na ang paa ko kakatayo." Sabi ni Beatrice while pouting and pulling me beside her chair.
Mahal tsk!? I can't hold back with her games anymore; she needs to know that this is enough.
“Can I talk to you for a second?”
Hindi ko na hinintay ang sagot niya at dumiretso na sa labas ng palasyo and I feel that she's following me.
"B-baby? What's the matter? hindi mo ba gusto ang party? Do you want some privacy?"
Humarap ako sa kanya at hindi ako nakabwelo nang kinawit niya ang mga kamay niya around my neck. Plano niya akong halikan at dahil sa inis ko ay winaksi ko ang kamay niya na nagpagulat sa kanya.
"Enough! Beatrice, I know everything, so stop this bullshit!" Sigaw ko sa kanya na kinagulat niya. Huminga ako ng malalim para huminahon.
"I have treated you as a friend ever since I saved you from drowning on that stupid lake, but why do you do this to me? You know that I've already been in love with Celestine, so stop this before..."
"NO! Nero H-hindi! Mahal kita at akin ka lang hindi ako papayag na mapunta ka sa babaeng 'yon, Akin ka lang Nero... hindi ka nababagay sa kanya!"
She said hysterically while crying in front of me, "Fuck!"
I curse. I hate seeing girls cry in front of guys, so I rubbed the tears flowing in her eyes, but she suddenly pulled me and kissed me on the cheek, hoping that she could cast her power, but my view of her still hasn't changed.
"I said enough! Hindi mo ba 'yan naiintindihan? Don't fool me again! hindi mo na ako makokontrol sa kapangyarihan mo..."
"H-hindi... h-hindi.. hindi! you love me right? I know you love me Nero, nagkakamali ka lang!"
Nagulat ako nang bigla siyang tumawa na parang nababaliw at pagkatapos ay umiiyak na naman at akmang lalapitan na naman niya ako pero bigla kong tinawag ang kawal na malapit sa amin.
