[Prince Alphonse]

“But Mom! We’ve already talked about this. I don’t want to go in the Philippines. Let me stay here please.”

“NO! It’s your grandmother’s offer and you can’t refused it. Aside from that, it’s an order.”

“But Mom...”

“Aurelia, Let me talk to my grandson for a while.”

“Yes Mom.” My Mom went out of my room while Grandma entered and closed the door. She sat besides me and hold my hand.

“Art, please don’t refused my offer to you. I know that you are responsible enough to live and manage our school in the Philippines. Aside from that, the principal of our university will guide you while you are living in the Philippines.”

I sighed “But Grandma, I can’t manage a big university on my own. And I want to finish my studies first.”

“Then, finish your studies in the Philippines. After graduation, you can do what you want and you can return here in our country.”

“Okay Grandmom.” I have no choice, if my Mom will try to convinced me, I refused it but when my Grandma offer it, I have no choice but to accept it. I love my Grandmom. Ahhhh, I forgot to introduce myself, I am Prince Alphonse Rylan Trice Aubridge of Wittenburg and I’m 15 years of age, the second son of the Aurelia,Duchess of Wittenburg and Philip,Duke of Wittenburg. They call me Art I sucks this life, I can’t live on my own.

            15 years ago, I was born. The whole kingdom is excited to see the only crowned prince. I am the only son of Aurelia and Philip, but I have 1 sister, she’s Louise Harianne Aubridge. All the excitement and happiness turn into misery when the family doctor detected that I have Anemia. Due to the lack of experiments and doctors in our country by that year, the only thing that my family can do is doing blood transfusion. But none of the family members are compatible, except for my father but he’s in the New Zealand for the annual Royal Visitation, so they had no choice but to search for the compatible blood type in the whole kingdom. Many presented but they want so much in return.

                Everyday passes by, my mom is worried for what could happen, so in other words, we badly need a donor as soon as possible. One of the maids serving in our home bring her daughter to my mother and said that her daughter’s blood type is O- which is compatible with my blood type. My mom says that she will give anything what the maid wants but she is kind that she is willing to donate the blood of her daughter for me without asking anything. Rachele, became well-knowned in our country and become close to my family. Even my grandmom, she appointed Rachele to be the Head Maid or in their country’s language is “Mayordoma”. Rachele become the bridge between us, the royal family and some filipinos working in our country. My Father, he requested to my grandma if we can build a university in the Philippines in return for the kindness and loyalty to us. That university arises which I need to go to and “manage” even I don’t like.

                We also became close to each other, the daughter of Rachele, the Head Maid. She is nice, quiet and lovable, I mean approachable. I gave her a necklace as a thank you gift for doing the blood transfusion and she gave me a bracelet which she made it just for me. She said that it is a thank you gift for me, for appointing her mom into the service. Then our friendship, begins. One day, they badly need to return back to the Philippines, in their home country to solve the problems about her viscous husband. After that, we didn’t see anymore nor return to us.
