NATALIA'S POV

"You're perfect in every way, Caleb. Even Her Majesty" I said. He remained silent. I took a deep breath.

"So... have seen Sir Nicholas? He's not here" I ask.

"He's with Henry, looking some plant I need" sagot niya. 

"Oh! It's Lady Natalia!" Napalingon kami sa hagdan at nakita si Sir Hnery kasama si Sir Nicholas.

"Borrowing a book again?" Sir Nichols said and sat beside Caleb. 

"Syempre manghihiram siya, ano naman gagawin niya dito?" sabi ni Sir Henry at tumabi sa'kin.

"Did you find it?" Caleb ask and Sir Nicholas shook her head. What plant is he looking for? 

"What plant are you looking for, Caleb?" I ask.

"OOOHHHHH... you let her call your name? Then I'll let you call my name also" Sir Henry said ang giggled.

"Same with me" Sir Nicholas said. Napataas ang kilay ko.

"But why?" I ask. 

"We also trust who Caleb trust. He's quite picky you know" Sir Henry said. I look at Caleb and he just nod.

I smiled, "Then call me Natalia" I said and they both smile.

"So what plant are you looking for?" ulit ko.

"Ferrontia" sabi niya na ikinataas ng kilay ko. Ferrontia? the plant who can produce mana?

"May nakikita kaming Ferrontia na tumutubo malapit sa Imperials cemetery, pero ngayon wala na dahil nakakamatay, binubunot nila" Nicholas said. Ferrontia plant is a 10 inch plant who has a red flower that only blooms at night. Hindi basta-bata mo yung  bubunotin sa lupa lalo na't hindi namulaklak ang halaman dahil ang mana nito ay nasa bulaklak. The dangerous part of the plant is its body because its totally poisonous. 

"I heard Ferrontia still grows in Paxora Forest, maybe you can find on there" I said. 

"Have you seen the actual Ferrontia?" Caleb ask. I nod. He never seen one before?

"Kumuha ako ng Ferrontia noong nag eksperimento ako para sa Shaveto" sabi ko. Ferrontia is now difficult to get dahil sa gubat nalang sila pwede makita.

"Paroxa is in the Elf Kingdom's territory, right?" Henry said and I nod.  The most difficult part of getting that plant is that plant acts to camouflage with the other plants beside it. Kaya mas magandang kumuha kapag gabi dahil mamumulaklak ito.

"Did you know the exact location of the plant in that forest?" Caleb ask. I nod that made him smile.

"Can you take me there?" sabi niya.

"Umm...I'm sorry but I can't, Caleb. I can't leave the Empress's side" sabi ko. 

"She's right, Leb. Why don't you let us find it?" Sir Henry said.

"No, there are many poisonous plants out there. Tanga-tanga  ka pa naman" sabi ni Caleb na ikinasimangot ni Henry.

"Then let me" Nicholas said.

"You can't, may alis ka bukas diba?" he said. 

"Yeah, I almost forgot" sabi niya at napakamot sa ulo. 

"I'm not familiar with plants and I want your help, Natalia" he said. He might be in danger if he goes there alone, but I can't leave the Empress. May alam ba siyang pwede niyang makasama?
