The Mighty Luna✅

CHAPTER 20

Kasabay ng pagbabagong anyo ni Thalia ang pagpikit ng mga mata ko. Shit, please not now! Para ulit akong naglakbay sa ibang dimensyon.

Sobrang sakit ng puso ko habang inaalala ang nangyare kani kanina lang. Palaisipan parin sa akin kung sino ang may gawa no'n.

Was it Grace? No way, she's not gonna do such thing. I opened my eyes.

I'm so shocked, looking at my body's reflection. Parang mas naging maldita ang muka ko sa muka ni Thalia ngayon.

May nagaganap na pagpupulong. Thalia's at the bottom of the long table. I arched my eyebrow when I saw Sean Yvo beside her, gone with the playboy face, he's now serious.

What is going on here? I made a scowl when I saw the King Marcos not so far at Thalia's seat, beside him was Bridgette, her daughter.

Nakaupo sa mahabang lamesa ang ibang bampira na wari ko'y mga opisyales ng palasyo. I'm so clueless, nasa'n ang reyna at Hari? Are they... buried already?

My heart hurt on that thought, I must.. accept the fact that they're dead. No, they were killed. I gritted my teeth. The anger I felt was very bad I could kill anytime.

"Thalia, ngayon ang tamang panahon para mapasa na sa'yo ang pamamahala ng palasyo. Kailangan mo nang maikasal kay Prinsipe Sean.." biglang nagsalita ang isang lalake 'di kalayuan sa upuan ni Thalia.

Thalia's eyes were bloodshot. The blazing anger and loathe are so evident. She looked at the man without expression.

"Can't you see that I'm still mourning at my parent's death?" Nakakapangilabot ang tono ng boses ni Thalia.

She smirked with no humor, I even saw the man got panicked on Thalia's mark.

"P-Patawad, Thalia... Mahal na Prinsesa.." the man apologized.

Suminghap ako. It's not like I'm really that heartless at that time, I'm just brokenhearted and still mourning on my parent's sudden death. They must be aware on that.

"But Thalia, alam mo namang kakailanganin na ng mamamahala ng palasyo ngayon. You know that," sabi noong Marcos, ama ni Bridgette.

Tiningnan ko si Thalia, her bloodshot eyes went to Marcos. I saw how she gripped her fists so tight. Kalaunan ay napabuntong hininga siya.

"Yeah, I'm aware of that." Nagliwanag ang muka ng lahat sa sagot ni Thalia.

It's unexpected in that state to bring back to life when you're still mourning to the love of your life. I just can't believe that I have moved on that easily.

"I'm still mourning yet I have so many responsibilities to cope. I'm not that selfish to drown my life because I lost my parents. Hahanapin ko pa ang gumawa sa kanila no'n." Malamig na dagdag ni Thalia.

Nagkatanguan ang lahat, sang ayon sa sinabi ni Thalia. Maliban nalang sa dalawa, si Marcos at Bridgette.

Tumikhim si Marcos kaya nabaling ang atensyon sa kanya. "Thalia, kung hindi mo pa naman kaya pwede namang.... ako muna ang mamahala."

Kumunot ang noo ni Thalia, nilingon niya si Sean at bumalik ang paningin kay Marcos. 

"Just because I'm in my low state for my parents death, doesn't mean that I can't manage." Mariing aniya. 

Marcos chuckles and then become serious. "My point is, how can you manage if you're not fond of Prince Sean Wrigley?" Sabay sulyap sa seryosong si Sean. Nag igting ang panga niya sa narinig.

"What?" Nairita na agad si Thalia. Ngumisi si Marcos.

"Hindi mo gusto ang prinsipe ng EL Realingo, 'di  ba? So, how can you manage if you're not in good terms of your partner?" Hilaw siyang ngumiti. Kunot na kunot naman ang noo ni Thalia.

Marcos looked at Bridgette's direction. "Here's my daughter here who surely fond of Prince Wrigley... She can--"

"Wait, Wait, Wait. Are you saying that Bridgette will be marrying this Wrigley? Ha!"  Naiinsultong tumawa si Thalia.

"Why not?" Sabay lingon ni Marcos kay Thalia.

Nanlilisik na ang mga mata ni Thalia. She surely against it, I'm sure against it.

"No, not gonna happen.." Mariing tugon ni Thalia, she looked at Sean's direction. "This Wrigley will not marry your daughter.. I'm not gonna let that happen!"

"Neither do I.." Biglang sabat ni Sean. Nabaling ang atensyon ng lahat sa kaniya. "I'm only marrying the Princess of San Martin Dela Costa,"

My mouth dropped as well as Thalia's. I can't... I just can't believe. After all the arguements, he still have the guts to marry me? True to his words?

Magsasalita pa sana si Marcos ngunit naunahan siya ng isang lalakeng kaharap.

"Huwag nating pangunahan ang Prinsesa, Ginoong Marcos. It's her decision after all. At saka, hindi ka kailanman maaaring maging pinuno ng palasyo pagkat ika'y normal na bampira lang. You're not part of the royal family, yes you're the cousin but it's far from it,"

Parang nainsulto si Marcos sa sinabing iyon ng lalake kaya magsasalita na sana ulit siya pero pinigilan na siya ni Bridgette.

"Dad, stop it na. I'm already embarrassed," napapahiyang ani Bridgette. Natigil na si Marcos sa pagrereklamo.

Thalia faked a cough and diverted her eyes to Sean Yvo. There's a glint on her eyes.. something like... happiness? Nagkatinginan sila ni Sean ng ilang segundo.

Thalia looked away. Ngumuso siya, pinipigilang mangiti. She faced the board.

"Now it's settled. I'm still mourning, the people of San Martin Dela Costa were mourning too, but they need a leader to rule the whole town. I'm so devasted and broke but I'll let it slide for a while..."

Nagsitanguan ang iba at nagngisian. I find it so creepy, I'm not used to see their reaction on my peaceful living on earth. This gonna be one of the differences between human and a vampire or even wolf.

Huminga ng malalim si Thalia. "Matrimony will be held soon.." nilingon niya si Sean. "I will be marrying my mate, Sean Yvo Wrigley."
