Night came and the Archduke's butler came looking for us at sinabing it's already dinner time, and the Archduke and his family were all waiting in the dinning room. Of course sumabay kaming mag dinner sa kanila.
While having dinner, Charlize was just quiet in her seat while the Archduke and si Walter ay nag uusap tungkol sa reason kung bakit kami nandito. Yung asawa naman ng Archduke, the Archduchess ay nakikinig lang at minsan lang kung ma-comment at sumabay sa usapan nong dalawa.
While me, on the other hand, of course tahimik at nakikinig lang. It is not my business, and I am just here to assist the Crown Prince, hindi ang maki alam sa problema nila, nagsasalita lang ako kapag tinatanong.
"I would like to see the minefield tomorrow." sabi ni Walter.
"Sure. I will guide you there." the Archduke simply replied.
After our dinner ay nagpunta na rin kami sa kaniya kaniya naming rooms. Charlize, who were quiet the whole time suddenly approach me.
"I'll be watching Walter's action, and same goes to yours." she suddenly muttered to me before leaving. Ako naman ay naguguluhang pinanuod lang siyang naglalakad paalis at palayo.
Napailing nalang ako dahil sa kalukuhan ni Charlize. What's with her? Na-trigger naman seguro ang pagka-weird niya. Hay naku.
"You can go to your room." napalingon naman ako kay Walter dahil sa biglang pagsasalita niya.
We're already in front of his room.
"You can go and rest, just remember to wake up early tomorrow dahil maaga tayong aalis." sabi niya ulit.
"Alright." tumango-tango naman agad ako, "Then, good night, sleep well, your highness." nakangiti kong sabi.
He just glanced at me and simply nodded. Then pumasok na siya sa loob ng kwarto niya.
Napairap nalang ako dahil hindi man lang ako sinabihan ng good night! Pansin kong kanina pa siya seryoso. Ano kayang problema niya. Tch.
~•~
Kinabukasan ay maaga akong nagising. After kong makapag prepare at makapag ayos ng sarili ko ay agad akong pumunta sa kwarto ni Walter.
I was about to knock ng biglang may nagbukas ng pintuan mula sa loob.
"Oh? good morning, Kienjohn."
"Good morning, sir Daniel." magalang niya ring bati sa'kin.
Ngayon ko lang na alala na na-una nga pala siyang pumunta rito. At hindi ko siya nakita kahapon at kagabe.
