The Contract

CHAPTER : FORTY - FOUR

Fel

"Mom are you really sure about this?" I asked for about nth times when we were walking at the palace hallway right now headed to the Chamber Council.

They stopped for awhile and looked to my direction with Mom's face being serious while Dad on the other hand just smile at me that earned him a punch from Mom.

I sighed.

There's really no turning back on this one.

Whether we like it or not we must proceed to the contract.

I know for sure Yanna will be shock and will be mad for me.

Iisipin nu'n na sinet up ko siya na pakana ko lang ang lahat ng 'to para makabawi sa mga pang aasar niya.

I hope na iyon nga but it was our Dad's planned.

"Don't try to back out, Felicity. Our reputation is a must. If the people here in Greece will know that the Daughter of Family Monteayor is having sex with the Crown Queen of Greece without being married first. How will you call yourself a royalty when you can't follow the rule?" Mahabang litanya ni Mom kaya napayuko nalang ako at hindi na umimik pa.

The only way to escape this mess that my Dad made. Is to wait atleast a year to finish the contract.

"Good afternoon Duke Adrius, Duchess Felicia, and Lady Felicity." Mamita greeted us and bow her head so we do the same as a sign of respect.
We were in the palace so we should address each other as it should be.

"Good afternoon, Your Majesty."

Ngumiti ito sa amin at inanyayahan na maupo sa may upuan kung saan may lamesa sa harap at pagkain na ngayon ay nakahain.

We should supposed to be in the dining hall but I guess King Horos want it to be private since our talk is also private.

"Before we start, let's wait for my granddaughter. She's still in the Field while playing Archery. She just came home Yesterday." Tumango lang kami sa sinabi ni Queen Aella which really resembles Danai's feature except for her eyes.

Yanna's eyes color came from king Horos but the rest of her features came from Queen Aella.

"Sure. We don't rush things." I heard Dad said.

Magkatabi si Mom at Dad na nasa harapan ko habang si Queen Aella ay nasa tabi ni Mom, si Mamita naman ay nasa tabi ko at ang nasa gitna ng lamesa ay si King Horos.

Danai probably sitting besides me.

We waited for about an hour for her to come here. She's just wearing her usual 'Pambahay' while the rest of us are wearing formal attire.

Typical Yanna Danai. She doesn't care what she wears inside the palace. What she really cares is the judgement of people to her.

"Hi Mamita!" Agad na bati niya at hinalikan sa pisnge si Mamita pero seryoso at masamang tingin ang pinupukol sa kaniya ni Mamita.

I saw how she gulped when she notice Mamita's expression and death glared.

"W-what's wrong Mamita?" She nervously asked and roam her eyes around the Chamber Council.

But the hell?! She doesn't give me even a glance. She ignored my existence!

"Sit down, Yanna." Malamig na turan ni Mamita kaya naman dali dali itong umupo sa tabi ko.

Hindi niya ata napansin na ako ang katabi niya basta lang makaupo siya agad dahil utos ni Mamita.

Dahil nakatabi ko na siya at nainis ako sa pambabalewala niya ay kinurot ko ito sa tagiliran kaya narinig ko ang pagdaing nito.
