Chapter 81
"Oh my gosh, Young Lady Daivat!"
Biglang nagtilian ang mga kasamahan ni Cherish na matino niya namang nakakausap kanina. Para silang kinikilig na hindi maintindihan. Nakatingin pa sila sa bandang likuran niya.
Nang lumingon siya, she now finally understood their strange behavior.
Walking towards their direction is the Third Imperial Prince himself, Lokesio.
Gwapong-gwapo ito sa suot niyang prince suit na pinaghalong itim at puti ang kulay. Bagsak na bagsak ang itim na buhok na siyang mas nagdagdag ng charm sa kabuohan ng mukha nito.
"Pardon me, my ladies."
He respectfully bowed his head slightly kaya pigil ang tili ng mga kababaihan dahil sa kagwapuhan nito.
"Can I borrow Young Lady Daivat for a moment?"
"What for, Your Imperial Highness?" Sagot ng isa sa kanila, pasulyap na nang-aasar kay Cherish.
"For a dance, if she wouldn't mind." Ngiti nito.
"She doesn't, Your Highness!"
Kaagad nilang pinagtulakan si Cherish sa prinsipe na nagulat pa, natawa na lamang as he lead Cherish to the dance floor.
"Those girls..." Kunot noong bulong ni Cherish sa sarili as Loki placed her hands on his shoulders.
Loki laughed. "Mas kinikilig pa sila kaysa sa 'yo." He placed his hand on her waist.
"Shut up, Your Imperial Highness." She sighed. "Have you seen the Young Lady Lerwis?"
"Nah." Simpleng sagot ni Loki. "She doesn't stand out that much. Wala akong balak na hanapin siya."
"I thought you have a trap set up for her?"
"Exactly. Pero hindi ako ang maghahanap sa kaniya. Siya ang maghahanap sa 'kin." Loki chuckled. "We'll leave the ball later for dinner. Mama's probably going to call you to come join us."
"Should I decline?" Tawa nito.
"Ulo mo ang kapalit sa pagpapahiya kay Mama, alam mo 'yan." Ngiwi ni Loki. "She never had a special treatment for someone else. Sa 'min lang magkakapatid."
"Tell me about it." Tawa ulit nito.
When he twirled Cherish, his gaze landed on a familiar color of eyes. Napatulala tuloy siya when he saw the eyes that reminded him of blood and ruby.
It was from a young lady around his age na may kulay dilaw na buhok.
She's pale and tall for her age, kaya siguro ay magkasing-tangkad sila ni Loki or probably she's a little bit shorter than him. She's also wearing a pearl accessory on her hair na nagmukhang pang-diyosa ng tubig. A soft smile plastered on her lips kaya nanliit ang kulay pula nitong mga mata.
"It's not the Young Lady Lerwis who's taking the attention away from me."
Biglang sabi ni Cherish kaya nabalik ang atensyon ni Loki sa kaniya.
"It was actually her. She has a light aura around her, and is really friendly kaya mabilis siyang naging malapit sa mga dalagang ka-edaran niyo. She's also very pretty. To be honest, she has the same vibe as Iris."
"My Iris?" Takang tanong ni Loki.
"Yes." Sagot ni Cherish. "Maybe the way she gently moves or something pero meron talaga silang pagkakapareha ni Iris, I just can't point out what."
Nabalik ang atensyon ni Loki sa dalagang iyon na tumatango sa kausap niyang dalaga. It seems like she's advising her of something.
"Thank you for the dance, Your Imperial Highness."
