The Legendary Lux Princess [EDITING]

20:Crowned Queen

Wind's

Miss Xia gave us a break from our training, kasi may iba't ibang okasyon ang bawat kaharian ngayon. As for Aertha, kokoranahan nang reyna ang kambal ko, si Aemie Celine. Tss. Sya kasi naunang ilabas sa tiyan ni Mom, kaya mas panganay sya sa akin ng ilang minuto.

"Wahh! Cyclone~!" Sigaw niya pagkakita niya sa akin. Tsaka nya ako dinamba ng yakap.

"Hindi mo naman ako sobrang miss noh?" Asar ko sa kanya.

"Heh! Sige na! Shoo!" Tapos itinaboy nya ako paalis ng kwarto niya. Naghintay nalang ako sa labas.

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we'd like to present the future queen," the Emcee announced. "She is the youngest Aerthan who'll going to be a queen in her age. The only Aerthan clever enough to outsmart the Enchantress Ezmia, please give a warm welcome to the one and only, Princess Aemie Celine!" Lumabas na si Aemie at tumayo sa gitna ng stage. Dati kasi, merong island called The Land of Stories. They are under the 100-year-sleeping curse ng Enchantress Ezmia, but natalo sya ni Aemie.

"Let's start!" Sabi ng Emcee kaya nagtaka si Aemie.

"Start what?"

"You'll see," sabi ni Aertha Queen Winzy. Nanay ko sya.

"Tonight we're here to coronate a girl who over the past few months has shown wisdom and skill beyond her years. However, before she can officially be a queen, there are four sacred tests she must pass: the test of courage, the test of grace, the test of kindness, and the test of heart." Nanlaki naman ang mga mata niya—hindi kasi hilig nyan ang magbasa kaya hindi nya alam na matetest ang mga queens and kings bago sila koronahan.

"Mom, Dad." She said with enourmous eyes. "You never said I would be tested at the coronation."

"I didn't want to worry you. Just relax, sweetheart, youv'e already passed the first three without realizing it." Sabi ni Aertha King Cion na tatay ko.

"Please clear the floor!" Sabi ng Emcee. Umatras ang mga Aerthans palayo kay Aemie—leaving Aemie alone at the center.

"When Princess Aemie was thirteen years old she proved her bravery to the world by defeating the Evil Enchantress. She figured a way to outwit Ezmia. She didn't care if she lived or died in the process, all she cared about was saving the people she loved. So, Princess Aemie, without question, you have passed the test of courage." The Aerthans applauded because of what my father said. Kahit ako, pumalakpak din.

Tumayo na ako para ibigay ang second test.

"My sister, Aemie once encountered three kids that are malnourish, but they say they doesn't need her help. But Aemie calmed herself and still, she took care at these kids. Now, look at her three foster kids:Coral, Rosette, and Violetta. For me, she passed the test of grace." Sabi ko. Naalala ko nung dating nakita naming mga bata. Bwisit na bwisit na si Aemie pero tinulungan nya parin. Inampon nya ung mga bata. Ngayon, malalakas na silang mga bata at makapangyarihan. Pero teka—ENGLISH YUNG SPEECH KO AH! WALANG KODIGO YUN! HANEP KA WIND! ANG GWAPO AT HOT MO TALAGA!

Nagpalakpakan ulit ang mga Aerthans. Lumapit ung tatlong bata kay Aemie at niyakap ito.

"Mommy AC, wer'e so proud at you." Ngumiti naman si Aemie sa kanila. Umupo na ung mga bata sa mga upuan nila at tumahimik. AC means Aemie Celine.

Tumayo naman ung nanay ko, si Queen Winzy.

"Celine, my child, have no record of disobeying rules. She gave Cyclone, her twin, the love that only Cyclone could have. She never doubt in betraying our kingdom. And in combination of being obedient, lovable, and loyal, I believe that she passed the test of kindness." Pumalakpak ulit ung mga Aerthans. Syempre kasali na ako doon. Totoo naman lahat ng sinabi ni Mom—mahal nya ako, kahit hindi halata kasi baliw sya.

"And now, the test of heart, is not completed by the swish of your magic, but the words from your mouth and heart will do." Alam kong dyan kinakabahan si Aemie. Sa pagsasagot ng mga tanong. Bobo yan eh.

"Γορ υοθ, ςηυ δο υοθ ςαντ το βε α Πυεεν? Ηος ψαν του προωε ιτ?" Υan ang tanong ng Emcee. 'For you, why do you want to be a Queen? How can you prove it?'

"I never wanted this. I need it—No, we need it. We need a new Queen to rule this kingdom. I'm not sure why do I have to, but there was one certain thing—I can be a Queen, and I will rule this kingdom, even if I die or not." Yan lang ang sinabi niya pero napatahimik kaming lahat.

"She passed the test of heart. Hail the new Queen, Queen Aemie Celine of Aertha!"

"Queen Aemie Celine of Aertha!" Tsaka sila nagbow at inulit ung sinabi ng Emcee. Tapos nagpalakpakan kami.

Hindi ako naiinggit sa kanya. She deserve that. Because she can be a Queen, and she will rule this Kingdom, even if she die or not.TEKA—NAPAPADALAS NA AKO MAG-ENGLISH AH?! YES!
