Tiningnan ko ang mga papel na nakatambak sa lamesa ko. I'm here inside the empress' private library. I'm so stressed na hindi ako makapag focus.

"Curse you, Fisk. I'm gonna kill you."

Goodbye my 20 court ladies! Dalawang lady in waiting lang ang dumating kaninang umaga.

"Instead of scratching the pen on that paper, why don't you start your agenda? Don't tell me you're too dumb to read." I glared at Lev na prenteng nakaupo sa isang couch at nagbabasa ng libro. Napasulyap naman ako sa papel na may puro walang katuturang linya at butas butas na. Kinumos ko iyon saka tinapon sa basurahan. I sighed.

Inisa isa ko nang i-scan ang mga papel na nasa harapan ko. No. It's not work-related. Lahat ng ito ay mga pinakalap kong impormasyon kay Leviathan tungkol sa personal kong buhay. Mas maiigi ng maging klaro nag lahat kaysa umasa ako sa distorted na memorya ni Pfeiffer.

Hindi nagtagal ay may kumatok sa pintuan.

"It is I, Arcelin Georgeton, Your Majesty."

Mabilis kong itinago lahat ng mga papel at pinalitan ng libro ang mga nakapatong sa lamesa ko.

The door automatically opened. Tinapunan ko ng masamang tingin si Leviathan. I told him not to do anything. He just shrugged it off.

She curtsy as she greets me. Arcelin, came from Georgeton County, bunsong anak na babae ni Count Georgeton. I met her this morning. She's one of my two ladies in waiting. Si Ruth ang pumili sa kanila at personal na nagpadala ng liham sa kanilang pamilya since it's hard for me to choose court ladies when I wanted them all.

She has this brown short hair, beautiful freckles and lovely brown eyes. Ang kaibahan lang ng court ladies sa normal na tagapagsilbi ay may mataas silang estado sa lipunan and they're not wearing maid's uniform.

Tumikhim si Lev. Saka palang ako natauhan. Sorry, I'm just appreciating such beauty.

"What is it lady Georgeton?"

"Pardon me your Majesty, but the ladies of nobility are curious when the empress will host a tea party."

Napakunot ang noo ko. A question mark is written all over my forehead.

Tea party? What is that?

Ayaw ko naman na magmukang mangmang kaya ngumiti lang ako.

"Reply, you idiot." Lev said. Napatango tango ako.

"A tea party huh."

"If your majesty doesn't want then let us not -"

"No, no! Give me some time to think then we'll get back to that." I put up a business smile.

"Yes. Your Majesty." She politely said then curtsy and left. The door again automatically closes thanks to Leviathan's.

"Hey. What's a tea party?" Baling ko kay Lev.

"Isn't that a party while drinking tea?" He asked me back.

"Is that all? Hindi ba kami ma overdose o mag tae sa tea na yan?"

"It won't kill you. So go on and host a tea party."aniya na parang pinagtatabuyan na ako.

"Ah! Now I remember what a tea party is."

...And this is what a tea party is.

It is all ladies in here! I can't believe my eyes. I think I'm drooling. Sino ba naman ang hindi kung puro magagandang babae ang nasa harapan ko. We are all sitting around a long table, habang nasa pinakadulo ako niyon. Parang tumataas ang balikat ko at humahaba naman ang ilong ko. This is what it feels like to be the king. I smugly smiled at myself. Maiingit ka ngayon Fisk, can you also do this dear emperor? You'll die and forever be alone!
