This I Promise You

"Your dress is so beautiful on you, sweetheart."

"Tack (Thank you), Mamma."

My mother and I smiled at each other.

We're at the royal church at the Stockholm Palace now and just waiting for the royal couple because they're still outside greeting the people who came to celebrate this special occasion with us.

Mamma is wearing a mint-green floral-embroidered maxi dress, while I'm wearing a tanzanite blue floral-lace-detailing sleeveless dress. Pinatungan ko ito ng white double-breasted blazer para hindi masyadong revealing.

"Prinsessan Blenda Filippa von Nuberg och prins Joaquin Aguilar de la Frontera har anlänt (Princess Blenda Filippa von Nuberg and Prince Joaquin Aguilar de la Frontera have arrived)!"

Nagtayuan ang lahat dahil sa naging anunsyo ng mga royal guards.

My sister walked down the aisle together with her groom, wearing a very beautiful glimmery tulle princess-cut dress with pearls. It also has oversize puffy sleeves matching the glittery fabric and beading that make it more magical and elegant.

Napatingin naman ako sa kabilang side nang mapansin si Princess Farida. She looks snobbish as usual but also refined in her gold dress. Titig na titig siya kay Blenda at Joaquin na tila galit, pero alam ko namang masaya pa rin siya para sa anak. This is one of the most important events in her daughter's life.

I looked at the King and my mother too. They were also in bliss.

After the ceremony, everyone is gathered at the Royal Palace Music Hall for the wedding reception.

Hinubad ko muna ang blazer ko at ipinatong iyon sa likod ng aking silya dahil medyo naiinitan na. Katatapos ko lang din kasing batiin ang mga bisita kasama ang aking magulang.

"Greetings, your highness."

Napabaling ako sa kumausap sa akin at medyo nasupresa nang makitang si Ezekiel iyon.

Ang sabi sa akin ni Mamma, hindi makapupunta ang mga dela Cerna dahil busy si General tapos hindi inaprobahan ang request ni Evander na lumabas ng military academy.

"Why..."

I couldn't finish my question because I was busy looking behind him to see if he had someone else besides himself who came here to Sweden.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, your highness, pero ako lang mag-isa ang nandito ngayon..."

Muli ako napabaling sa mukha ni Ezekiel dahil sa sinambit niya. I was a bit flustered because he answered what was on my mind.

I also noticed how tall he became since the last two years we didn't see each other. He still looks softer than his brother, but he's more strapping at eighteen or nineteen. Well, it's not surprising because Mamma told me that Ezekiel wants to go to military school too to become a Marine.

"Dad is busy with work, while Kuya can't leave the academy." Dagdag niya.

"I didn't ask." Sagot ko nalang dahil medyo nakaramdam ng hiya.

I stared at Ezekiel again when I saw him smirk.

"Sorry, halata kasi sa mukha mo na may hinahanap ka."

"What?"

Mas lalo akong natarantang bahagya dahil sa sinambit niyang iyon. This brute has a lot of nerve. Did he forget that I'm a princess?
