"Good morning, your majesty." I uttered as soon as I bow my head in front of the Empress pagkapasok ko sa office niya.
"Please take a seat." rinig kong sabi niya kaya naman umayos ako ng tayo at tumango.
"Thank you, your majesty." sabi ko naman saka naglakad papunta sa sofa na nasa harapan ng table niya then naupo sa mahabang sofa. While the Empress herself is sitting on the single couch, nasa left side ko siya.
Her personal assistant started serving snacks and tea. Tahimik lang ang Empress habang nakatuon ang tingin niya sa tea na nasa harapan niya. I just also quietly drink my tea.
Nanatiling tahimik ang buong silid hanggang makalabas ang personal assistant niya.
"What's my son's reaction after knowing I summoned you here?" the Empress suddenly asked as soon as ibaba niya ang hawak na teacup.
"Ah, he didn't say anything." I simply replied which made her chuckled.
"Anyway, I asked you to meet me because I have a job for you." sabi niya habang nakatingin ng seryoso sa'kin.
"I'm sure narinig mo lahat ng mga pinag-usapan namin last night."
Of course, nandoon lang naman ako sa harapan nila at sa tabi ni Walter, muka akong tanga na out of place -_-
"The Princess of Colchira's Royal Family will be having her vacation here in our Empire. I want you to look after her and Walter's behavior." she said in a serious tone again.
"Princess Yvonne has a romantic feelings for our Crown Prince, and of course Walter knew about it and he's obviously annoyed, but because he is the Crown Prince and he needs to maintain the good relationship of both families, so he has no choice but to do his duty." biglang kwento niya sa akin.
Wait... What? The Princess of Colchira Kingdom likes Walter? And on the other hand, si Walter ay walang feelings doon at naiinis pa siya? What a shocking information. Bakit ngayon ko lang 'to nalaman.
"Are you listening?" biglang sambit ng Empress kaya naman ay nagulat ako at mabilis na napatingin sa kaniya.
"Yes, your majesty." mabilis na sagot ko.
"I want you to report everything to me. Everything..." biglang sabi niya.
Mabilis naman akong tumango. Tsk. Biglang nadagdagan pa ang trabaho ko.
"And also, tell my son to behave and not be so stubborn." aniya ulit at napahilot pa sa noo niya.
I nodded again, "You can count of me, your majesty. I will do as you say."
"Good." sabi niya naman.
Pilit na ngumiti nalang ako kahit na nag rereklamo na ako sa loob-loob ko, bakit kailangan kasi na ako pa. Tsk.
