Wild Romance Series 3: Fornax Reeze Maddox

Chapter 30:

AS Princess Sadina and Amira walked past the portrait wall in the castle, Amira couldn't help but feel amazed by their vast and extensive family tree.

"Oh! These are the ancestors of Cree and me. Once Cree is crowned and receives his title, his portrait will be added there." Napansin naman ng prinsesa na nakatingin si Amira sa pader. "Even though we no longer lead a specific kingdom traditionally, the people of San Martin still regard the royal family with great esteem."

"We're descendants of King Arman Martin. Unfortunately, many children in our bloodline haven't survived for various reasons." Princess Sadina began recounting their family history as she pointed to the portrait of King Arman.

"Fate has not been kind to Prince Julian and Princess Felina Martin," Princess Sadina sighed, realizing they were the last of their bloodline.

Their family legacy now rests on their shoulders, or they will become mere history.

"Hindi naman kasi kami masyadong magulo rito sa San Martin. Yung sides lang ni Thorne ang mga baliw at sakim sa kapangyarihan." Sumbong ni Sadina kay Amira.

Amira nodded in response, having already figured it out. After all, it was her job as an agent.

That's why Cree has been entrusted to Amira; Thorne's kingdom is engaged in a war and aims to assassinate the poor child.

"But who will lead La Cantra after Thorne if Cree leads San Martin?" Amira asked Princess Sadina. Being royalty is quite confusing and comes with many responsibilities. Plus, Cree is a descendant of both kingdoms, La Cantra and San Martin.

Masayang nakangiti ang prinsesa at bahagyang kinuha niya ang kanang kamay ni Amira. Pinuwesto niya ang kamay ng babae sa kanyang tiyan.

Amira gasped as she felt a bump on the princess's tummy.

"Congratulations." Wika ni Amira. Masyadong mabilis naman itong si Thorne at nakabuo sila kaagad.

"I wasn't expecting this at all, but I'm so incredibly happy!" Princess Sadina exclaimed, then suddenly remembered. "Oh! I almost forgot it's time for tea."

"Sure." Nakangiti na sagot ni Amira at sumunod sa prinsesa papuntang harden.

At nang makarating sila sa harden ay hindi mapigilan ni Amira ang kanyang sarili na mamangha sa ganda nito. There were flowers as far as her eyes could see, in various sizes, types, and colors. The garden also featured large statues of the kingdom's previous kings.

"Just follow me, Amira. You wouldn't want to get lost in the maze," the princess advised her. The garden was quite large and included a maze made of cobblestone and tall grass, adding to its uniqueness. "I don't know much about it, but the maze has been here since the time of the first king."

Tumango tango na lang si Amira. She never imagined witnessing scenes like this, which she had only expected to find in movies or books.

"Mom!" Cree exclaimed with a wide smile when he saw both of his mothers finally arrive at the center of the garden.

A long table awaited them, adorned with an array of sweet snacks and a selection of fine teas. Delicate porcelain teacups and saucers were carefully arranged, accompanied by lace napkins adding a touch of elegance. Tiered trays displayed a variety of pastries, macarons, and finger sandwiches, while crystal bowls brimmed with fresh berries and clotted cream. The air was scented with the fragrance of blooming flowers, enhancing the refined ambiance of the garden setting. Soft classical music played gently in the background, creating an atmosphere of sophistication and serenity for their gathering.

"Akala ko ay niligaw mo na si Amira." Tugon naman ni Thorne sa asawa niyang si Sadina.

Sadina laughed and hugged her husband. "One day isn't enough to spend with Amira! She's an incredible person and a wonderful listener."
