The Count's Daughter (COMPLETED)

S I D E #1

If only I have the power to change the world or to turn back the time, I would gladly do so. But faith is not in my hands. What I can really do is to wait, wait until the right and the best time comes.

"Greetings to the sun of the Empire, your highness the Crown Prince Walter Hexon Aesthenberg. It is a great honor to meet you again." he politely greeted.

"How old are you Daniel? Why haven't you gotten taller?" I calmly said with the intention of teasing him.

It's just been a year since I last saw him, but I honestly missed him so much. He is really indeed my only close friend. He's still the same, just look at those pretty innocent ocean-blue eyes.

I still remember when I first met him, the very first day I was given a task to finish my training at the mountain of Hill-Vibe which can be found at the Southern region of the empire, I was mesmerized by the beauty he possess. That was the very first time I've met a guy who has a beauty that looks exactly like a girl, he has an angelic face and innocent eyes. He suddenly made me curious, so everytime he appeared at the peak of the mountain with his teary eyes, I was always there to console him, and because of that I suddenly felt so close to him.

I was honestly sad when my training days ended because it only means that I'll be going back to my normal life, the life that I am afraid that might affect my good relationship with Daniel.

I was even more nervous when I found out that the Count's family arrived at the Capital, and after hearing the rumors that the successor of the Count will be celebrating its birthday together with his appearance to the aristocracy world. It only means, we're going to see each other again.

So, when his 14th birthday came, even if I wasn't invited, lakas loob akong pumunta sa mansion nila. Then, I appeared in front of him as the Crown Prince of Aesthenberg. Na-feel ko agad na naging formal siya sa'kin at nag-iba agad ang pakikitungo niya. So I tried my best to make sure that nothing will change. I just don't want to lose him, I don't want to lose my only friend.

I was even more sad after finding out that he will be going to Assylria, meaning mas malalayo siya sa'kin, worst is he might find someone or friends that even more better than me.

I was so sad but at the same time happy for him because he will finally have the freedom he had been wanting for so long, away from all the pressure in their household.

And as days went by where he was in the Kingdom of Assylria, I kept on missing him, even though I was busy with all my works and duties, there's no day or night na hindi ko siya naiisip.

There's even a time where I found out that my sister will be going to study in Assylria Academy, I was planning to go with her so I could visit Daniel too, but mom did not approve, and there's also an important business meetings, kaya hindi ako nakasama. But after a year, my father asked me to meet the King of Assylria, kaya naman nagkaroon rin ako nang pagkakataon na mabisita si Daniel. After my meeting with the King of Assylria, I planned to go straight to Daniel's house, but when I was on my way, napadaan ako sa seaside, then there I met a white-haired girl, she looks so familiar to me, her facial expressions and the features of her face, she really looks exactly like Daniel, but her eyes were green. I never encountered anyone with white hair other than Daniel so I was so surprised, but when I went to Daniel's house he was there, still the same innocent Daniel I knew. But I was really curious kung sino 'yung babaeng naka-encounter ko.
