Avoiding The Five Male Leads

Chapter 2

Celestia

I awkwardly smiled at the king in front of me. I sipped the tea on the table. I was restless because the king had been observing me for a while.

Hindi ko maiwasang isipin na baka may dumi ako sa mukha. Kaya't pasimple kong pinunasan ang magkabilang pisngi.

"You look descent and kind-hearted woman. Personally, you're finely toning for the second prince, xenon" He said and smiled sparingly.

I almost took the coffee out of my mouth at his uttered. My forehead furrowed for a moment. And did he say the name xenon? That name. . . That was the name of the third male lead. What does he want to convey?

Ofc! I'ma descent and kind-hearted woman but with a non, non-descent and non-kind-hearted.

I just smiled and didn't speak. And what will I say? I'm not used to talking to high-class people. In my previous life all I knew was reading and laying in my bed. I don't socialize much with people. I would rather lie in bed all day than interact with ethnic group outside.

Every time the class opens, that's the only time I can mingle with people. And on vacation, I'm like a vampire who doesn't leave the house. Iyong feeling kasi na bumili ka lang sa tindahan pero feeling mo lahat ng tao nakatingin sayo. As if they are watching your every move. And that's the most awkward moment for someone like me who is not used to socializing.

Minsan sa sobrang pagiging tahimik at mahiyain ko, may pagkakataon na takot lumapit ang mga kaklase ko. And when I become comfortable with them, they seem to shove off because of the weirdness of my dealings with people I am comfortable with.

Hayst, that's why I choose to be stillness and wait for them to talk to me first. In the first expression, I still obedient, but after a length of days it seems like I showed all my craziness in life to the person I'm settled into.

//Cough //Cough

I was startled a little from my sit when celestia's father cough so I turned my attention to him. Maybe he noticed that his beautiful daughter was wool-gathering and has its own world.

I bowed my head a little and stared at the floor.

Mula sa peripheral vision ko'y nakita ko ang pagbaling sa akin ng haring katabi ko. "Did you see the letter your handmaid put on your bedside table?" He asked.

I scowled. A letter? Why didn't I seem to see a letter on the bedside table, or maybe I just didn't see it.

I looked up and slowly shook my head. "None, father"

Umayos ng upo si ama at sandali ring kumunot ang noo. "I gave it to your chambermaid and told her to put it on your table. Didn't she follow what I said?" I didn't answer him. He took a deep breath and looked at an old-lady servant who was watching us not far away.

"Amah, come here" He gesture for the old-lady servant to come over.

The servant approached us. "Greeting your royal highness. What can I do for you?" I looked at her and the tag attached to the chest of her uniform.

As far as I can see she is the lady of the household chores. The head servant Quintilliana household.

"Call the handmaid of my daughter and tell her to come here" Father's order. The old-lady servant nodded and quickly entered the kitchen.
