"Come on, Hoseff! Walk faster!" I said with excitement in my voice. Papunta na kami sa Royal Garden and I'm really excited! Si Hoseff kasi, mabagal maglakad.

He laughed at me. "The Royal Garden won't go anywhere, Your Highness."

"I know!~ But I really want to see it now." I said at nag pout pa. Nauuna akong maglakad kay Hoseff. I'm two meters ahead of him. See? Mabagal talaga siyang maglakad. "Your Highness, please, your etiquette." Sabi niya pa na ikinairap ko. But of course, hindi ko iyon pinakita sa kanya. "Hoseff, seriously? It's just the two of us. Besides, it's annoying." I said innocently na ikinataas ng kilay ni Hoseff. I sheepishly smiled at him. "Alright, alright. But can we walk a little bit faster?"

"Alright, come, hold my hand." Lumapit ako kay Hoseff at hinawakan ang kamay niya. We walked hanggang sa makarating kami sa Royal Garden.

My eyes twinkled when I saw the beautiful garden in front of me. Agad akong bumitaw kay Hoseff at nagtatakbo patungo sa fountain. Narinig ko pang tinawag ako ni Hoseff but hindi ko siya pinansin.

Nang makarating ako sa may fountain ay agad akong tumingin sa tubig. The water is so clear. I touched it and smiled when I felt its coldness. I stared at the flowers in the Royal Garden. They are beautiful! May mga rosas, orchids and some flowers that I don't know, ngayon ko lang nakita ang mga ito. I don't know much but I always loved flowers.

Huminga ako ng malalim at pinakiramdaman ang hangin. Ahh, this is life. This is a perfect place for relaxing.

"Princess Nhianix!" Napatingin ako kay Hoseff na mabilis na naglalakad palapit sa akin. Napabungisngis ako. "Catch me Hoseff!" I shouted and started running.

I've never felt this happy for years. Parang bumalik sa akin ang mga alaala ko in my past life, those times when I'm still playing with my friends in the orphanage.

"Your Highness! Princess Nhianix, please stop running!" Hindi ko pinansin si Hoseff at nagpatuloy lamang sa pagtakbo.

I keep laughing while running at kung saan saan na nagsusuot hanggang sa makaramdam na ako ng pagod. I stopped to catch my breath at tumingin sa likod ko to see if Hoseff is there but he's not.

Ehh? Nasaan na kaya iyon?

Inilibot ko ang paningin ko. I can't see anything but high walls of bushes.

Ehh? Where am I?

I shrugged my shoulders. "Alright, enough of running." I said to myself at nagsimulang maglakad to look for Hoseff. Where is he? Am I that fast? Hah! Hoseff is getting old.

I keep walking at ilang dead end na ang nadaanan ko.

Huh? Bakit may mga dead end dito?

I remember what Hoseff told me earlier while we're walking.

"Don't go too far later, okay? You might get into the Royal Maze and got lost."

Ohh. I looked around. High walls of bushes. Dead ends. Yup. I'm in a maze. And I'm lost too.

Natampal ko ang noo ko. Stupid me. Now what?

I looked around once again and saw nothing but bushes. I rolled my eyes and mentally scolded myself.

Ayan kasi, wag kang makinig kay Hoseff. Takbo pa.

Anong oras na ba? I shrugged my shoulders and started walking. I'll just have to find the exit. I'm not just going to stand here and let Hoseff look for me. Err, speaking of him, he must be worried about me. Gosh! I don't want to be scolded by him later!
