The Prince and The Parvenu (Completed)

chapter 21

"Ano ba kasi ang ginawa mo?"

Letting out a heavy sigh, I looked at Stefan only to roll my eyes at him. Ang chismoso ng gago. A few minutes after Rav left, he walked right into the room and demanded some answers. Completely ignoring him, I closed my eyes and hoped to find myself in another vision. But nothing came. All I could ever hear is Stefan's loud murmurs.

"Leave, ang chismoso mo." I said with my eyes still closed. 

I heard him chuckle and quickly knew what his expression is right now. He's probably wearing that crazy grin on his face again, the one that he would always show whenever he's thinking of something weird and absurd. Which I may add is his almost everyday mood.

"Aba gusto ko lang makasigurado kung nananalo na ba ang manok ko. Paano na yung pustahan namin nina Clarie? Naku malakilaki ang talo ko kung sakali." He kept on murmuring which made me open my eyes and look at him with a frown on my face. He just leaned his back on the chair and said,

"Kung taon lang ang pagbabasehan, panalo na ang manok ko." I frowned when I couldn't understand what he's talking about. 

Earlier, he was asking me why Rav left me alone here in the infirmary. He even questioned what I have done and now he's talking about his chicken? Does he own one? Does the Kingdom even have chickens? Do chickens live in this country?

"You're talking with your idiot language again so I cannot really follow what this conversation is all about." I said and raised my brow but he just held his chest acting hurt and in tears, making me chuckle at his foolishness. Stefan really has that effect whenever you're conversing with him. Although he cannot stay focused dahil sa mga kalokohan sa isip niya.

"Grabe ka naman Princesa, sinasaktan mo yung pagkatao ko eh." He said in a whiny tone earning a laugh from me. 

A knock made the two of us glance at the door. Stefan looked at me for a moment before standing up to open the door. I saw how his shoulders tensed when he face the person who knocked.

My heart started beating faster when I thought about the possibility that it might be the second Prince of El Suelo. I immediately drafted an apology inside my mind. 'I'm sorry. Hindi ko kasi alam' or 'Please forgive me I really thought that your family is our enemy' both sounded so wrong. When Stefan moved out of the way, I tried to hide my disappointment when I saw the third Prince of El Suelo smiling at me. His chinky eyes gleaming with so much fondness as he slowly walked towards my bed.

I sat up straight and smiled at him, placing my disappointment aside. I saw how Stefan scoffed when the Prince was already taking his seat earlier. He had no choice but to stand near the doorway, both hands folded in front as he wore a frown on his face making me laugh at his reaction. Parang bata talaga 'tong gagong 'to.

"Why are you here?" I immediately asked Prince Aiken. He gave me a small smile before answering,

"I heard that you weren't feeling okay so I came here to check on you. I hope it's fine."

"It isn't really necessary. I'm feeling much better now." Stefan snickered at what I said so I took a glance at him again but he immediately avoided my eyes, now wearing a small smile on his face. Prince Aiken cleared his throat making me look back at him. He's still smiling which made it feel creepy. Why is he smiling?

"Princess Hermanie—"

"Princesa, Princesa Hermanie. She's not from El Suelo. She's different from your kind." I tired to stop Stefan from talking with my glares but he didn't give me a glance and continued, "Ano ba talaga ang pinunta mo dito?" His face is passive and his tone suggested that he's not amused by the third Prince's presence. Prince Aiken stared back at him with the same intensity of seriousness while I looked at the both of them with a confused look on my face. After a few seconds, Prince Aiken spoke,
