Royal
"After the last time we went here five years ago, I became busy with my studies, and my dad also wants me to start my military training." Untas ni Evander.
Military training? So he's going to be in the army too, just like his father. It's not shocking. I just didn't know about it...I don't really know him that well.
"Lögnare (Liar)," Singhal ko. "Someone saw your picture with a girl at an amusement park."
"What picture?" Saglit siyang tumigil para alalahanin kung ano ang tinutukoy ko. "I was still thirteen at the time, and I was also with my other friends...And I was already promised to you even before that."
Napatitig ako sa kanya dahil sa huli niyang sinabi.
"I'll introduce you to my friends if you want, your highness."
Hindi na ako ulit nagsalita pa.
"Do you want to go back inside, or do you want me to accompany you for another stroll?"
"I want to go back inside." Tipid kong sagot.
"And one more, your highness..."
Maglalakad na sana ulit ako pero muling napalingon sa kanya.
"I will start going to military school after my visit here. It's four years, so I might not be able to come here during those times."
I saw his adam's apple move when he swallowed hard after saying that.
"I already told this to his majesty and Princess Rebecca, so the wedding is going to happen after I graduate..."
"Why are you telling me all of this?" Untas ko.
"Because you will be the person I'm going to marry at that time."
Ilang sandali kaming napatitig sa isa't isa bago siya muling nagsalita.
"But let's not talk about it right now. You're still young. You shouldn't be bothered by that these days."
My mouth slightly got dry, so I'm the one who swallowed hard this time. Kung makapagsalita siya akala mo naman hindi din siya bata tulad ko. He may be five years older than me, but he's still in his teens. Parehong dapat hindi muna namin iniisip ang tungkol sa pagpapakasal.
But then I remembered what Blenda told me last time...Do we really have a choice if this is what the king and my mother want?
Ako siguro, wala nang pagpipilian dahil isa iyon sa tungkulin ko bilang kasapi ng royal family, pero siya...He had a choice to not agree on this, but he still came here to tell me that we're still going to carry on with the promise that the adults made for us.
"You found my daughter. Thank you, Evan." Mamma said.
Evander bowed at my mother. Nakabalik na kami sa loob ng palasyo at nagtungo kaagad sa table ng aking parents.
"How are you, your highness, Princess Reve?" The younger dela Cerna greeted me.
Nauna silang dalawa ni Evander patungo dito sa Drottningholm, at susunod nalang daw ang general dahil may inaasikasu pa.
"I'm good." Tipid kong sagot.
Ezekiel just looked down and smiled, but his smile was kind of suspicious. What is it this time, you brute?
The next morning, I found my parents and the Dela Cerna brothers all having breakfast in the garden.
"God morgon min prinsessa (Good morning, my princess)."Si Pappa ang unang nakapansin sa akin.
