Romancing My Royalty

Chapter 21.1

Merry Christmas everyone! Thank you for still reading this!

AERGLORIA was a beautiful country in terms of destinations, tradition, and culture. I had never been to Cambrevia before, but the people here said these cultures and the way they view life were highly influenced by Cambrevia. Pero kahit ganoon pa man, they didn't want to welcome any Cambrevian citizen visiting their country or migrating here currently.

It was the King's orders six years ago when the Earl of Cambridgeshire and the Duchy of Cambrevia had made a pact to let their houses engaged through marrying the prince and the daughter of the earl. Sa madaling salita, noong panahon na nabalitaan ng mga ito na ikakasal si Alaric at Alexandra. Part of their anger was the colonialism of one of the Cambrevian dukes in the late 1498 to their country together with one of the descendants of the nobles of England. They had conspired to colonize this little Aergloria. Fifteen years later, 1513, nakamit ng Aergloria ang kanilang kalayaan nang umupo ang bagong duke ng Cambrevia sa pagkamatay ng current duke. Both leaders at the time had made negotiations and became friends...at ibinigay ng Cambrevia ang kanilang mga nakuha sa Aergloria, like having gold and diamond mines in the country. End opression and give education to people.

Naging ganoon ang relasyon ng dalawang bansa hanggang 2015 nang napag-isipan ng Duke ng Cambrevia who was Alaric's father na makipag-sosyo na naman sa mga nobles ng England. It was like, you betrayed me so I would let you go. Walang dalawang isip. Walang hesitation. Sinabi ng Aergloria kay Cambrevia, kaya kong mamuhay na wala ka.

Mayaman na bansa ang Aergloria, it could be the leading suppliers of anything valuable to US or any parts of the world. A rich monarchy next to Cambrevia for they both have good, strategic, intelligent leadership. One has female leader and one has Alaric's father.

Iyong mga Cambrevian na namuhay sa bansa later than six years ago ay pwedeng manatili kung gusto nilang manatili, pwede ring silang umalis kung gusto nila pero hindi na sila pwedeng bumalik. Ganoon din ang mga Aerglorian na namumuhay sa Cambrevia.

Aergloria was the little monarch country near Monaco, opposite to it actually. In the map, it looked like the Visayas islands being put together in one land mass. The current leader of this state was the latest king's daughter, Aisha Kopgshezyrian who replaced her father last year when the king died because of brain disease.

"And there are speculations that the queen will try to open our borders again for Cambrevia and try for new possibilities when right now si Prince Alaric na ang namamahala ng Cambrevia," Clarissa said while she was cooking our dinner tonight.

Si Clarissa ay classmate ko sa kinukuha ko ngayong degree na Bachelor of Arts in International Relations dito sa Aergloria.

Four years ago, ipinadala ako rito para sa kaligtasan ko at para na rin kay Alaric. Kahit mabigat sa kalooban ay kusa akong sumama kay Daddy. Siya mismo ang naghatid sa akin dito dalawang araw matapos ang insidente, sa mismong apartment na ito ko ibinuhos ang pangungulila, konsensiya, disappointments sa aking sarili, at sakit.

Simula noon, I had started to live on my own, discovered things on my own, studied the culture on my own. Not that I wasn't used to live alone, but being from far home hit differently.

My father gave me a choice to study here at susuportahan niya ako sa aking pamumuhay rito. So I had decided to study at Astennubherg National University sa Kopshentale, the capital city of the country after a year of living here because I had to give myself a time to adjust.

Hindi ko lamang nakilala si Clarissa sa university, nagtratrabaho rin kasi siya sa isang malaking bakery diyan sa harap ng building namin. She had helped me one time when I needed someone desperately. Her mother had been an OFW here at dito na rin nakapag-asawa. Nagbabakasyon si Clarissa minsan sa Pilipinas kaya marunong na rin siyang mag-Tagalog. Nakatira ang pamilya niya sa Oberon, isang probinsiya rito sa Aergloria.
