Untold Secret

Boffo City · 24th Floor · 10:43 pm

I'm in awe when I stepped my feet outside the carriage.

All the malls, restaurants and different buildings here looked so expensive and damn pretty. Parang New York City but way bigger and extravagant. Napakarami rin ang mga taong naglalakad. And take note, this was the first thing that caught my attention, all the people roaming around here in Boffo City are adults-in the mid-30s maybe. Mga kaedad lamang ng Reyna in my judgment by their looks. Of course, students aren't allowed to come here since the battle week is still ongoing. Siguro maiintindihan naman nila na kaya kami ni Senior and Headmaster Daze na nandito dahil isinama kami ng Reyna.

"Amazing. I never imagined that all the stores here are 24 hours open. Like, do they even sleep?" tanong ko.

Lady Tenesi is talking with some of her guards.

"They're industrious people who never seem to sleep just to earn money to live their family," Senior answered me. Huminto kami sa isang restaurant na ang pangalan ay Entice's Beanery. Muli akong napanganga dahil sa agaw attention nitong kulay. The color of the restaurant is matte red. Ang ganda. As in. Ilang minuto ko itong tinitigan dahil sa ganda ng pagkakagawa. It's actually a third-floor restaurant and the whole building is really painted in matte red. Ang ganda. Kung kasama ko lang sana iyong tatlo kong kaibigan, jusko, kanina pa yata iyon talon ng talon at pumasok kaagad dahil sa excitement.

"I decided to treat the three of you since my Lieutenant said that you didn't finish your dinner because of the investigation. So, let's go?" Lady Tenesi said and lead the way inside the Entice's Beanery. Hindi ko namalayan na nakangiti na lang ako habang papasok sa pulang restaurant na ito. The entire facility is so damn awesome.

We occupied the whole restaurant due to the Queen's privacy with us. Though, the people really want to see the Queen and hug her and talk to her and kiss her in her rosy cheeks. Kanina nga na pagdating namin ay dinugso kaagad kami ng mga tao, buti nga't may mga kasamang guard ang Reyna. Of course, Emilia. She's a Queen. The Mother of this Paradise. Everyone--not just me or half of this world but everybody--might really love her.

"Am I a bit too fast?" Lady Tenesi opened a converstation. Si Senior at Headmaster Daze ay nandoon sa kabilang lamesa dahil kinakausap ang chef ng restaurant na ito and requesting to have a special meal for the Queen.

Kumunot ang noo ko dahil hindi ko alam kung ano ang ibig na ipahiwatig ni Lady Tenesi.

Too fast from what?"

"Ano po ang ibig niyong sabihin, Lady Tenesi?"

She smiled and shook her head.

"Ang ibig kong sabihin ay masyado ba akong mabilis sa pag lagay sayo sa isa sa mga royal na posisyon? As the tan lady," she mentioned and drank wine.

Umiling ako at nahihiyang ngumiti sa harapan niya.

"I'm really, to be honest, was shocked at first because you just met me and I hadn't yet stayed here for a day and you named me as a tan lady. I'm happy and a bit shy, though, Queen." at mahina akong tumawa. Nakakainis. I'm talking to the Queen-the wife of the King and the lady who mostly loved by everyone here in Paradise. It's an honor. Bakit ba ang swerte ko? Pwede ko kayang pakiusapan na mag aaral lang kami at hindi kami sasali sa anumang battle week? Hays.

Mahina siyang tumawa. Maybe it wasn't just a light laugh cause I saw her shoulders shaken with laughter.

"Don't be shy, Emilia. Everybody here in Paradise talks to me very casual-like I'm just a normal citizen like them whenever they meet me. It's because I let them do that and there's nothing wrong with that, right?"
