The President Daughter

Chapter 1

There are many unsolved mystery on Earth.

Like The Lost City of Atlantis, The Voynich Manuscript, Stonehenge and many more —  Still no scientific answers. 

And the Crinamonte is one of them. 

In year 2050 they run the world and paralyzed humanity. Vladimir Crinamonte was the king who give rules and order across the Earth. 

But he was killed. 

And Maxine Crinamonte was hail to be the Queen. When her wife got pregnant with their eldest Miranda, they decided to  traveled back in time — year 2010 for the safety and peace of their family. 

Maxine is a Crinamonte, her destiny is to be the leader and Queen of every living things on Earth as she became the President of the Philippines. 

"Tsarevna Rais." Pagtawag ng Butler sa labas ng bathroom. 

Marahang umahon si Rais mula sa bathtub. Only the four walls of her spacious bathroom sees how beautiful and gorgeous she is. 

Rais knows why and replied.  "I'll be down stairs in a few."

"We will be waiting Tsarevna." Sagot ng butler ng pamilya ng Crinamonte. 

He's working for the family for a decades and knew some secrets of them. 

Ayaw ni Rais na tinatawag syang Tsarevna, it's a Russian word for a Princess and Tsarina for Miranda. 

Rais hates formality. 

She only wants calm and chill surrounding. 

And once Rais is done fixing herself ay bumaba narin sya for breakfast. Meals are sacred for the family. 

Naglakad si Rais papunts sa dinning table. "Good morning Family!" 

Miranda glance to her little sister. "Kanina pa kami naghihintay sayo Rais." 

Rais give her sister a smile. "Naligo pa kasi ako ate."

"Amg tagal mo pa naman maligo, isang oras." Naiiling na sabi ni Miranda.

"Seat down Anak." Paanyaya ni Kali sa Anak. 

At naupo naman si Rais. 

"Are you still planning to go to Russia next week Miranda?" The President asked without looking to her eldest. 

Tumango si Miranda. "With Eris." 

Kumuha si Rais ng Ceasar salad. "Honeymoon?" 

"A political visit." Sagot ni Miranda. "Moscow is ours Rais remember that, Moscow is the center of power of Crinamonte."

Rais has no interest in Politics. The youngest Crinamonte only wants tranquility and peace.

Maxine, The President look at Rais. "How about you young lady? What's your plan for summer?" 

And summer is fast approaching.

Rais thought of it. "I don't know yet Mom, Maybe visit Boracay with the Rank girls."

"Puro ka gala." Naiiling na sabi Miranda. 

Natawa si Rais. "And why not? I'm young. I'm not 35 like you —"

"Bit...." 

" —Miranda." Pagsaway ni Maxine. "Kumain na."

At kumain ang pamilya ng masaya. 

Rais has to change in school uniform dahil last week na nila sa Timothy. 

At nagkasalubong sila ni Miranda pababa ng hagdanan. 

Miranda couldn't help but laugh. "And when will you stop wearing that eyeglasses?" 

Rais roll her eyes. "Wag mong pakialamanan ang eyeglasses ko Ate."

At hinalikan ni Miranda ang pisngi ng kapatid. "Ano ba kasing trip mo sa pagsusuot nyan eh 20x na malinaw ang mata natin." 

Kibit balikat si Rais. "Wala lang."

At dahan dahan silang bumaba sa hagdanan ng Malacanan. 

"Why are you hiding that beauty of you?" Miranda question her sister. 

"I'm not." Sagot ni Rais. "Mas comfortable ako sa ganito." 

But Miranda know something is up. Pero ayaw nyang pilitin si Rais mag open, if she wants to, she would. 

Nagpaalam na si Rais bago pumasok sa school. 

Hindi na kailangan ng Crinamonte ng bodyguard, they can protect themselves. 

Pero dumaan muna si Rais sa isang convient store para bumili ng ilang necessity like.. Ice cream. She's been craving it for awhile. 

At habang naglalakad si Rais sa corridor ng condo unit kung saan tumutuloy ang mgs students ay kumakain sya ng ice cream.

"Good morning Rais." 

Napaangat ang mata ni Rais sa bumati sa kanya and sees Stephanie, her best friend. "Oh good morning Steffie!" Napansin nyanh paalis ito. "Papasok ka na?" 

Steffie smile at her. "Oo Rais, may defense ako today." 

"You cab do it." Rais is always the best supporter. 

"I will try my best." Sagot ni Steffie at naoanisj nya ang kinakain ni Rais. "Isn't too early for Ice cream?" 

"Yes." Natawa si Rais. "But I'm craving it now, i don't know why."

"That's okay, you need it to start your day."

At nagyakap sila bago magpaalam sa isa't isa. 

Sumakay si Rais sa elevator na surprisingly ay walang tao kundi sya lang. 

Sumandal si Rais sa pader ng elevator habang ninamnam ang tamis ng ice cream — magsasara na sana ang pintuan ng elevator ng biglang may pumasok at hinablot ang ice cream ni Rais. 

Rais is too stunned to speak. 

Binato ng humablot ng ice cream nya sa labas, sa isang lalaki. 

"Stay away!" Sigaw ng babaeng humablot sa ice cream nya. 

"Come let's talk Kate." Pakiusap ng lalaki sa babae. 

Rais just stand there. 

At nagsara na ang pintuan ng elevator. 

"Stupid." Bulong ng babae as she turn to look at Rais na hawak parin ang kutsara. Then it hit her. "Oh sh*t! I'm so sorry. I'll pay it." 

Magkibit balikat si Rais. "No need."

But the girl looks worried. "Are you sure?" 

But Rais only stare at her quietly. Napansin nya na hindi ito mukhang student, she look very formal ans beautiful. 

At bumukas na ang elevator na floor pakay ni Rais — Kay Malik, isa sa mga kaibigan nya.

Without saying in return, Rais steps out of the elevator and leave the girl alone.

But on Rais mind. Sayang naman yong ice cream ko, marami pa yon.
