"Pancho."
Pancho groaned as he was still sleeping on the bed. He was sleeping half-naked and everything inside his room was a mess.
"Pancho, gumising ka."
"Ma, what?" He grumbled, not even opening his eyes. He knows that the owner of the voice was his mom, Merida.
"It's already late. It's not a kingly attitude when you're always late, Phaedron."
Pancho groaned again and sat up, he rolled his eyes like what she just said was ridiculous, "You're bluffing. I'm not going to be a king, Mama," He yawned. Kinusot-kusot pa niya ang mga mata niya.
"I have an intel," Merida started and Pancho tried so hard to focus on his attention to her, "Madrid nulled his royal decree for marrying Sofia of Snowdon. No one will become a Queen yet."
Pancho raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms, "How sure are you?"
Merida grinned, "I have a source, a legitimate source."
"You know Madrid is unpredictable, Mom," Pancho stood up from the bed and went to his closet to wear a white shirt, "Like how he was too wild when he didn't think he would become a king someday."
Merida took a deep breath and sat on the golden chair near the nightstand, "He's plain stupid, he did not even help your father with the royal responsibilities, he was just a leech, a burden to all of the royal family. Ni isang beses, hindi ko siya nakitang tinulungan ang ama ninyo. He leeched the entire royal family's money and fame just for fun and games."
Natahimik naman si Pancho sa sinabi nito. For all his life, he was the golden boy, the noble prince, the one who does good to everyone - in order not to put shame in the family.
"Ikaw palagi ang tumutulong sa ama ninyo. You're always the one helping with everything, every responsibility. You deserve to be the King, Phaedron. Not Madrid Anselmo."
Pancho smiled tightly at his mom, "But I'll never be the King, Mama."
"You will, when the time comes."

"You look happy," Ria commented as they both sat on their usual table at the cafeteria. Ang pinsan naman niyang si Damien na siyang boyfriend nito ay papunta pa lang.
Sofia smiled at her friend, "The King voided the decree," She answered her friend simply and Ria's eyes quickly widened.
"So the marriage won't push through?!" Ria almost screamed that Sofia had to cover her friend's mouth.
