Snowdon
"Sofia, bakit hindi ka pa nagbibihis?"
Sofia Elena looked at her mother sharply, Lady Violetta who just entered her room. Her mother was already wearing a light blue dress paired with the Snowdon's sapphire jewels and the Snowdon's famous eclipse tiara. Lady Violetta of Snowdon is now very of the wedding.
The private civil wedding of her and Madrid Anselmo, the King.
"I will never marry him, Mom!" She angrily said to her mother as she didn't even make any move and just stayed on her bed. Kagabi, ipinadala na ng palasyo ang susuotin niya para sa gaganapin na kasal sa araw na iyon. It was a simple white floral dress, paired with some the royal palace jewels and the Iñiguez tiara.
"Sofia, you don't have a choice. They already sent a royal decree, even the parliament gave a stamp of their approval. Wala ka ng magagawa."
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, "Can't you see, Mom? I almost freaking died because someone gunned us down, kami ni Mang Jun. Since we started to get involved with that royal family, my life's been a freaking whole mess!"
Lady Violetta sighed, "That's why we need the royal family more than now, Sofia. They're investigating kung sino man ang gumawa 'non sayo. The King, he promised that he'll protect our family at any cost. He vowed that to me, Fia. We don't know who are our enemies and for sure, they're very dangerous. But the crown assured that they'll be on our side."
Natahimik naman siya sa sinabi nito sa kanya. It looked like her mother already accepted their doomed fate that the Snowdons will be forever bound to the royal family. Forever indebted.
"If Dad was here, he wouldn't agree with the wedding," Fia commented.
"If your father was here, he'd be delighted, Sofia. Your father and the late King Julian were close friends and you know very well, it was their choice to betroth you with Madrid Anselmo."
"Ganyan ba talaga ang tingin niyo sa 'kin?" She replied in disbelief, "Just some sacrificial lamb, a pawn? For what? For that benefit of the royal family?"
Hindi naman ito nagsalita. Her mother just coldly stared at her. Like there was no pity or even guilt on her eyes.
"Hindi ko siya pakakasalan," She suddenly declared, "Kung ipipilit niyo pa rin, I'm going to escape. I'll find a way to escape from all of you and you won't see me ever again."
"You cannot, the royal guards of the King are already outside of our house. Kahit anong gawin mo, wala ka ng magagawa, Sofia Elena. It's either you accept your impending fate with the crown or..."
"Or what?"
"You leave me no choice but to disown you from the family. From Snowdon. You'll lose all your privileges. You'll lose your right as a Lady of Snowdon. You'll be stripped from everything."
