Cirseane's P.O.V

"Alright.. 36-24-36," I announced, holding the tape measure in both hands, trying to console my amazement. How can a mortal acquire the figure of an hourglass so perfectly?

"Oh, dear heavens! Lady Amari, how much more can you live up to your name?" one of my sisters, Medreana, playfully queried, making the young woman beside her flustered.

"Hermana, we are in the Underworld!" pabalik kong putak rito, para naman ay makahinga na ulit papaano si Amari na sa sobrang pula ng mga pisngi, matatakot kang sasabog ang mga ito. "Brush it off, will you?" I glared at her menacingly, kaya natawa ito.

"It's alright, Seane," Her eyes shrunk as she smiled, her glistening, flushed cheeks looking as soft as feathers. "It's not that serious."

I nodded, acknowledging the lady's response. Then, I made my way to Hecaesia, who was sitting on a chair with the sewing machine in front of her, and passed one of the notes containing Amari's measurements.

"¡Esto es genial! ¡Gracias!" Hecaesia excitedly thanked us three, all the sketches pinned onto the bulletin board on the wall.

"Sigurado ba kayong tatahiin nyo ang lahat ng mga 'yan?" pambungad na tanong ni Amari nang makarating sa aming tabi, her arms crossed with a hint of concern. "Won't it be a waste to create all those?"

Medreana strolled her way towards Hecaesia's table with little hops on every walk. "The heiress to the throne only deserves the best!" She leaned on the table where the sewing machine was placed, making it shake lightly.

"For hell's sake, Medreana! Get your flat ass off the table!" Hecaesia complained relentlessly. Kaya nang pandilatan ko ito ng mga mata ay huli na nang kanyang mapagtanto ang mga sinabi sa kapatid.. at sa harap ng susunod na reyna na ngayon ay nagpipigil ng tawa.

"Uh? Excuse me?" naiiritang sambit ni Medreana.

"My sincerest apologies, my lady, I did not mean to-"

"Ano ka ba? Okay lang!" Amari finally freed her suppressed laugh, which I bet she had fought to keep but eventually failed to do so. "Make yourselves comfortable! I don't mind."

"Thank you, my lady! But please do accept our apologies."

Hindi pa ito tuluyang tapos sa pagtawa nang sumagot. "Sus! Mas malala pa nga ako sa inyo, eh."

Biglaang napalingon rito ang aking mga kapatid, kasama na ako. "Really, my lady?"

"Oo naman!" tila lalo lang itong nasiyahan nang makita ang mga reaksyon namin. "Laking mundo ng mga tao ako, kaya panigurado marami rin akong kababalaghang nagawa noon, no!"

Lumapit ito sa amin, her hands hidden behind her back with a mischievous smile on her lips. "Sa totoo nga lang, hindi ko nga alam kung saan ako mas magtataka, eh,"

"What do you mean, my lady?" tuluyan na nga nitong napukaw ang aming atensyon, kasama na ang kapatid kong si Hecaesia na inikot ang kanyang upuan paharap sa amin.
