Days later. I spring open the curtains and inhaled the fresh air that was blessed by our mother Gaivera. Above, cloud meandered across the expanses casting fleeting shadows upon the emerald field below. The wind whistled through the grass, causing it to sway in undulating waves, like an ocean of emerald waves rippling towards the horizon.
Butterflies, delicate and vibrant, fluttered from flower to flower, their wings a kaleidoscope of iridescent, collecting nature's sweet nectar to create a liquid gold.
But my curiosity killed those harmonic views. I keep pacing back in fort inside my room, still confused about the young boy I met back in the market place. It boggles my mind to think if his either a luna or just some commoner came to rescue... But my guts keeps telling me that his more than that. And why did he even hid his identity with a cloak. Maybe its just a weather or he doesn't go well with crowds or just been afraid to be caught. Who is he?!
This must be settle in a mean time. The harvests festival is coming soon, but i still feel uneasy for this situation. Of what I just witnessed back on the town. It just made me feel irresponsible. How can I be a better Queen if I can't even help my people
"Your highness, your tea is getting cold"
"Oh sorry. It's just --"-i reach my hands to my tea that they handed about a minute ago and sip slowly while my thought is leaving me. My kingdom is dying how come mom and dad still didn't do anything about these crisis were facing a total disaster. Kasalanan to ng mga luna. Mga walang nagawa sa buhay puro magnakaw nalang! I can't stand this anymore. I can't let those thieves get in a way again. I'm the heir to the throne and they'll be sorry.
"Busy?"
"Ah, yes i'm exhausted Inavie"-napabalik ako sa realidad ng may pumasok at inabot ko na sa maid ang cup at tumayo para kumuha ng librong basahin.
"Obviously somethings troubling you. What's that my queen?"
That just flattered me" Don't say that" I'm being bashful. I sighed deeply and massage my temple. I'm making myself stress. That Luna is to blame! If something bad happens they might conquer the town and put my poor people into slavery. They should be castigate for their crime. I punch my fist together.
Inavie keeps talking but I didn't hear him. Umupo siya sa harap ko na may dalang macarons he knows what's my favorite. Prince Inavie is my childhood friend. Our families had been an alliance since I was on my mother's womb. And we became a childhood friend till today. He knows i'm a furtive person and I am also taciturn and I don't like prattle, its a waste of time for me.
Umupo nako sa harap niya at binuklat ang librong hawak ko at nagsasalita siya pero diko narinig dahil busy nga talaga ako. Its a journal about the past. Inavie sit beside me and pinch my nose "Di mo ako pinakinggan!"-inis na wika niya at binayaran ko naman siya ng halik sa pisnge then he was surprise not from the kiss; but the book in the shelves.
Kinuha niya ito umupo sa tabi ko. He looks excited. He open up the pages and he stop at page 10. Zendalia yan ang nakasulat na title sa pages. Which drives me to curiosity and I snatch it out of his hand I didn't want him to read it.
"I recommended something else"
"I want it"
"Not this one inavie this one is outdated.."
He just laughed at me and pat my head at muntikan pang mahulog ang korona ko "I said want it. This book tackles about the history of the two kingdoms apart. You know anything about this kingdom here?"
"No. Actually it looks boring to read even the covers look dull and tasteless Mukha ba akong nagbabasa nito? gusto ko nga maghanap ng iba e"-bilis kong sagot
