The Prince and The Parvenu (Completed)

chapter 4

"What are you doing here?"I asked the second Prince who's standing just outside of my door.

Damn what time is it? 2 o'clock? I feel like it's only been minutes since I closed my eyes. And this guy right in front of me ruined my peaceful sleep. Tinitignan pa ako na parang ako yung nang aabala. Sheesh.

"His Majesty ordered me to show you around the Kingdom. We'll just take a stroll in the city"

"A stroll?" I asked. 

"Delvin it's like, 2 o'clock in the morning. Sino ang gising sa mga panahong ito?" I looked at him, disbelief in my eyes. He just shrugged and placed both of his hands inside his pockets. He's wearing a white victorian suit with black linings on the sleeve and a pair of black boots. He looked nice but that doesn't mean it's okay for him to wake me up this early.

"Just get ready woman. Ang daming reklamo. I have plans today," he turned his back at me, walked towards the other side of the hallway and leaned his back crossing his arms in front.

 Tangna parang ako pa yung naki usap na mamasyal e ang Hari naman! He should've said no if he had plans then! Para hindi ako yung pinagbubuntungan niya ng galit!

"I'll just tell His Majesty that Ekkier can show me around , or maybe Aiken. I don't want to be a burden since you have plans naman pala," Tsaka ayaw kitang makausap. Gago. I wanted to add, but didn't. He scoffed and rolled his eyes at me. Attitude! He's so vain!

"You're part of the plans. And you're going with me. Now get ready." He leaned his head at the wall and closed his eyes, ending our conversation.

I let out a deep sigh and just took a shower. I made sure to take my time leisurely so that he'll wait too long. I wore a lavender coloured long sleeve puffy dress that reaches my toes with silver flowers embedded on it. I'm wearing black board shorts and a sleeveless white top underneath the whole dress because I feel like I'm walking naked without it. I also wore my sneakers since I don't want to embarrass myself by tripping with every single step. And put on a peach lip balm to sum up my look. We're going to the city and I cannot imagine myself wearing a pair of jeans and shirt there. It would make it too obvious that I'm not from here. Not that it mattered since everyone is probably still asleep by now.

I expected that the second Prince would not be there when I came out of the room but I quickly got disappointed when I saw him leaning back at the wall with his eyes closed. He looks so angelic and soft when he's asleep. If only the words that comes out of his mouth ain't seem like from the devil himself. Sana hindi na siya gumising. But to my dismay, when the doors closed right behind me, he opened his eyes and looked at me from head to toe.

"You look human." he straighted up his stance when he saw me. It took a great effort not to roll my eyes at him. I don't know but I just simply don't like his attitude. And I kinda feel bad about it because I'm not really like this to everyone. It's a new feeling.

"Let's just go. This is uncomfortable," I'm not really fond of this kind of clothing. It's always been jeans, shirt, and my favourite sneakers. This fancy dress is so not me. But it seems like I have no choice anyway.

The hallway was quiet and calm. There's no one else but us and he's so quiet that I almost feel like I'm alone here. Kung hindi lang siya kanina pa nakatitig saakin ay hindi ko mamamalayan na nandyan siya sa tabi ko. Even his footsteps are silent. They say that those people who walk silently are the ones who are deadly. But Delvin seem like anything but deadly. Yes, he's rude and hostile at times but it never really occurred to me that he can somehow hurt me. I somehow feel safe when I'm with him, no matter how annoying and rude he is.
