Dinner with the not-just-vampires

[29]

RAZZELLA MONIQUE HELVIN

Marahil ay naramdaman niya ang aking pagtataka kaya't sinimulan niya ng magkwento "She's Queen Mehenia Galathynius, 6 years ago, she suffered on a rare disease without a possible cure and died"

Laking gulat ko sa aking narinig. 6 years? Matagal na palang walang reyna sa mundong ito bakit wala man lang akong narinig or nabasa ni isa tungkol dito? Bakit parang ang tahimik ng mundong ito tungkol sa kanilang reyna? Nakakapagtaka nga. I looked at the princess beside me kitang kita ang kanyang pangungulila, ang kalungkutang pilit niyang itinatago sa kanyang masasayang ngiti kanina at biglang pumasok sa aking isipan ang mga mata ng hari at ang pagtrato niya sa kanyang mga anak, ito nga ba ang dahilan? Ako'y maslalong nalungkot ng naisip kong maagang naulila sa ina si sober, is this also a reason why he rarely smile and laugh? Napasinghap na lamang ako at napatingin lalo sa statue.

Queen Mehenia Galathynius

Galathynius?
Ngayon ko lang nalaman ang family name ni Sober.

"I'm sorry, hindi ko nalang sana itinanong pa" akin na lamang nasabi ng ramdam ko ang biglaang katahimikan sa lugar na ito. Hindi ko akalain na sa kabila ng kagandahan nito, matinding kalungkutan pala ang itinatago, marahil ay dala nito ang mas maraming masasayang alala sa magpamilya. The princess just chuckled but I know she's trying hard not to show what she really feel. "it's okay sis, my mom was long gone, the past had been buried" then she buckled her arm at mine. "let's get going. Dinner will be at 9" she pulled me and we started walking. I took one glance at the princess and I saw her genuine smile came back again but her sullen eyes didn't change as if there's more in the past that will never can they bury.

"hmm.. put that there... Perfect!" princess Marianne said while looking at my hair, judging the way the hairdressers did. I was dressed in a long white silk gown with gold intricacies, highlighting my breasts down to my legs. This is kinda sexy and I'm not comfortable with it. Also, princess Marianne had the same white and gold gown. It's already 9 and we're good to go. "this traditional dinner is for main royalties only but you were invited maybe because you had that mark. This can also be considered as royalty meeting and surely it's all about you" she said, judging the way she spoke, she was expecting this and she's purely interested.

'All about you'

I felt a sudden nervous, mukhang hindi ko magugustuhan ang usapan nila mamaya at napalunok ako ng maisip kong I can't lie any longer, I cant make lies that feels real. Oh no, this is not good. Hell is waiting for me and P. Elli.

My breath became shallow nang malapit na kami sa isang mahabang decorated table with lots of food and flowers. I saw some that occupy their seats, wearing the same white and gold at napatulala nalang ako ng makita ko sila Nerina at Azul and a newly shaved man in his mid-30s with a lot of gold medals on his chest. Nerina smiled at me and waved while Azul seemed curious for seeing me here. The man just nods at me and I smiled uncomfortably.

"that's Prince and Princess Folcer, maybe you already met them at MA" bulong sakin ng prinsesa at napatango na lamang ako habang hindi maalis ang aking tingin sa kasama nilang lalake and those stern eyes as if studying my every move. "oh and that's their father" narinig kong bulong ulit ng prinsesa pagkatapos namin umupo kaharap nila. Their father? Azul is also a prince? And Nerina? Napatingin ako kay Azul na hanggang ngayon nakatingin lamang sakin ng may halong pagtataka. Azul got most of his father's features. "Duke Winston Folcer, royal court's ambassador. Their mom died after the queen" her voice became weak on the last word. Ako'y nagtaka sa aking narinig, parehas pala sila ni Sober but Azul's personality wasn't affected compared to Sober's and also ngayon ko lang nalaman na they're royals. I was just expecting Prince Ace and Princess Amber.
