Chapter 6The scorned lover
●👑●
University of St. Ambrose
"Fia, kamusta? We haven't seen you for a week," Ria, one of Sofia's friends at university asked her the moment they found a table inside their university's cafeteria. Katabi naman nito ang boyfriend nitong si Damien, na pinsan din niya. Like her, Damien Montague came from an aristocratic family - the only difference is that, the Montague family isn't as involved as the Snowdon with the monarchy. Damien is one of the Lord Montagues.
"Magulo," Sofia simply answered her friends as they all sat, "It's complicated."
"It's just came from my parents, Fia, is it true, you're getting married to the new king?" Damien asked her and she stopped from eating the pancakes she ordered earlier. She sighed.
"Is it all over the news already?" Ngumiwi naman si Sofia nang tanungin din ito. The couple looked at each other and nodded at her like they don't have a choice.
"Shit," She cursed silently. She was supposed to be studying college peacefully - but because of the damned royal decree declaring her marriage to Madrid turned her life a living mess. Kaya pala 'pag dating pa lang niya kanina sa university, she saw a group of photographers taking pictures of her. Mabuti na lang tinulungan siya 'nung guard ng university nila na paalisin ang mga ito.
Her life for the last week was full of whirlwind events. Kahit gusto na nga niyang iiyak ang lahat na nangyari ngunit parang wala siyang oras para maging emosyonal - adding that asshole Madrid, hindi ito nakuha sa pagkukumbinsi niya na hindi ituloy 'yung kasal nila. The jerk even sent her the royal decree document again earlier this morning at pinunit na naman niya iyon - sa harap ni Gonzalo Martin, ang private butler nito na siyang naghatid ng dokumento.
"Why does it even have to me?" She frustratedly said as she took a bite from her pancake.
"Pero diba, you and Madrid were kind of betrothed to each other before he even became the king?" Tanong naman ni Ria sa kanya. Mas lalo naman siyang nafrustrate dahil sa tanong nito.
"Which I thought wasn't true. We were young during the betrothal. I was even thirteen, I was too young. Hindi ko alam na magiging totoo na pala ngayon," She replied.
"Well, I just heard from my friends, and it was obvious as well, Madrid was seeing this Natalie Villagomez girl. When he's still here in the university, lagi namin sila nakikitang dalawang magkasama. I thought they were together," Damien added.
