Priceless

Thirty-Three

"M-mom?" I started to question myself when I saw what's written on the paper.

"What is it?" She asked and got the paper out of my hand so she could read it. Theodore sat beside her to see what's written there.

"W-what?" She stuttered. Her hands were also shaking as she read the words that's written on the paper.

I stayed up all night thinking what would happen next. W-who.... am I? I'm a prince? My mind was too occupied.

"Sir, you need to go with us as the Queen's orders." The man came inside our house. He was wearing a blue and gold uniform. An unfamiliar uniform.

"W-what? No!" Mom held my arms but they tried to get me from her.

"I'll promise to let you know everything if I found out all of it." I nodded and smiled to assure her. I saw her crying with Theodore behind her. I waved my hand before going inside the Limousine.

"Go." The man gestured me to go first inside our room. It's our room here inside the ship. We're going to..... Wilsania.

"C-can you explain to me what's happening?" I asked because everything happened all of a sudden.

"I'm sorry sir but I don't even know anything. Just wait until we arrived at the palace." He nodded and closed the door. They will stay in another room.

I stopped myself from asking since I know my words will fall on deaf ears.

"Bro." I heard a voice from door.

"N-noth? Why are you here?" My eyes widened when I saw him going inside my room.

"Turns out, I'm your personal maid, Your Royal Highness." He even bowed in front of me.

"Hey! It's not joke time! Take it seriously!" I told him since he's still laughing.

"I know. But... it is what it is. You can't deny the truth." He shrugged like he already accepted everything. His parents doesn't care about him maybe that's why it's easy for him to leave them.

We arrived at Wilsania. I've never been here. Crantia just kept telling me stories about this place. It was a bit different from Bouschleivour.

The palace was big. There were guards everywhere. The people passing by were just looking at the palace and making sure that they're not going close to that place. Like it was a sin for them to touch the palace gate.

"Good afternoon, Your Royal Highness." The palace servants started bowing in front of me when I got inside the palace.

I roam my eyes around. Shiny tiles. Chandeliers everywhere. Grand staircase I've ever seen. Palace maids, making sure that everything's clean every minute and ever second.

"The queen is waiting for you." They gestured me to go inside the big living room. It's so big... it's as big as our campus.

"He's here." The maid told the lady in front of us. Is she the queen? Why do I look like her? Is she... my mom?

"G-good afternoon, Your Majesty." I bowed lightly but she stopped me from doing so.

"It's fine, just call me.... mom." I saw her tearing up.

"M-mom?" She welcomed me with a hug. Is it real? If this is a dream please wake me up. Everything happened so fast.
