Napatingin ako sa pamilyang papalapit na ng papalapit sa amin, and I steeled myself for what may happen next.
"It's fine." Napatingala ako kaagad kay Lionel nung narinig ko siyang magsalita, and his eyes were focused on his family.
"She won't bite." At this point, binaling na rin ni Lionel yung tingin niya sa akin.
"At least not yet." Hindi ko alam kung dapat ba akong kabahan sa mga huling sinabi niya o hindi e.
When the imperial family has finally come to us face to face, sabay sabay kaming yumuko nila Alkaia, while Lionel stood still in his place.
"Happy birthday!" Napatingin ako sa ikatlong prinsipe sa oras na maitaas ko yung ulo ko. He dashed towards Lionel without a care in the world, and my eyes soon landed to the one who closely followed behind that little prince.
It was the eldest prince.
And one thing that was strange about him.. was his eyes.
It had the same golden color as his little brother, but eerily enough, it was unmoving. Na parang.. patay yung mata niya?
"Florian, don't run." The eldest scolded his little brother, at nakita ko yung bata na buhat buhat na ni Lionel.
"I apologize for my brother's behavior, milady." Napalingon ako kaagad doon sa nakakatandang prinsipe nung nagsalita siya sa harapan ko. His eyes were still unfocused, but I responded, nonetheless.
"It's no trouble, your highness. The young prince simply greeted his brother." Nginitian ko yung prinsipeng nasa harap ko, all while having the two other princes right by my side. At nagtaka ako nung napangiti na rin yung lalaking nasa harapan ko.
"I was talking about Lionel, but either way works." Hindi ko na napigilan yung gulat ko nung narinig ko 'yon, at sunod ako napatingin kay Lionel.
"Ferris, that's enough." Tinungo kaagad ni Lionel yung atensyon niya sa amin, and the third prince had his piece too.
"No fighting."
Hinarap ng batang prinsipe yung palad niya sa harap ng panganay niyang kuya, as if he was stopping him from his tracks, and I didn't even know how to react in that situation.
He was so cute!
Quite unlike his mother.
"It seems that my youngest carries himself well." Isa isa ulit kaming napayuko nila Alkaia nung nagsalita ang emperador, at nung maitaas namin yung ulo namin, it was the empress who spoke next.
"Of course. He knows he will be using it in the near future." Naikunot ko kaagad yung noo ko sa sinabi ng emperatris, and I knew there was meaning behind her words.
