Martina refused to speak to me even after I left the chateau. She asked us in such a pleading way to leave her alone which I couldn't say 'no' to. It was the kind of request that only requires tolerance. I did leave her alone even though I was dead worried of what I just witnessed. The doctor said it was more like an anxiety attack caused by too much stress and worry. He even suggested 'psychotherapy' to avoid more 'emotional damage'.

I never imagined that my absence and our inevitable lack of communication, sadly resulted into something drastic. I was too focused on my tasks, problems and engaged with everything my status demands of me. But God knows that every single day I wake up and before I go to sleep, she's the only person I think about. I was just too tired about everything that I failed to constantly check on her due to my royal obligations.

I was too lax that she perceived my absence and silence as 'neglection'.  It was a far cry from neglecting her. If she only knew how much patience I had to put up with just to stop myself from abandoning everything and live the life I'm used to, with her. When our lives was still less complicated. I watched my advisor as she approached me with her usual elegant streak. Curtsied before delivering her message.

Cecil:

(French)

"Your highness, it is affirmed by the King himself and royal council that the arrogation will take place a day after tomorrow. Your title will be officially  announced to France and the alliance. There will be no invitations sent to other royals like what you requested, only immediate family members. But  the King stated, that day will be announced as an official holiday to commemorate your status...and..."

I waited for her to continue as she looked at her tablet;

"About Ms. Martina. I tasked ms. Laura to carefully relay everything to her. That she will have an exclusive spot in one of the royal balconies to witness the arrogation. However..."

She gave me a hesitant look. She linked her hands before continuing;

"The young madame refused the spot."

Cecil bowed upon delivering Martina's decision.

So she doesn't want to see me being acknowledged with what I almost gave up working for? Even a bit of support...

I understand that she's going through a lot as I am. I felt offended. For the moment I step out of that damn palace balcony and wave to the country's people, I want her to be the first person who I'll set my eyes on.

The person whose smile I get my strength from. The reason I keep going...

And now she's neglecting me just like how she thought I did her.

Fury, pain...

And bitterness.

I furrowed my brows and out of spite I delivered;

"Refusal? Is there such thing to a future king's wishes? Does she know she didn't have the 'choice'. Let her come. I will not put up with anyone's disobedience even if she's my woman. Someone explain that to her."
