Anathea and the Seven Princes ✓

Chapter 12

Anathea's POV

"You look so happy, Your Majesty." komento ni Esther na nagsusuklay ng buhok ko. Nakatingin naman ako sa dalawa ko'ng anak na mahimbing ang tulog.

"Because I don't have anything to worry, Esther. Now that we have reconcile again. I guess I don't have to worry." sagot ko.

"At first I didn't expect for you and His Highness to build strong relationship in a short span of time, Your Majesty." salita ni Esther.

"Love doesn't take time, Esther. When you knew you had the same feelings with the person, that means fate brought you together." sagot ko at napangiti na'ng maalala ang panahon na una kaming magkita ni Giovanni.

I felt the spark in his heart, the same intensity I felt too. And that's how I can say it is Fate.

"Your Majesty!" Napatingin naman ako sa pinto nang pumasok si Prince Seven.

"Your Highness, calm down. What happened?" tanong ko. Kinalma naman nya ang sarili ng makitang natutulog ang dalawang anak ko.

"Everyone is in chaos. The King wants to send Princess Zenith to Harford Kingdom as an envoy." salita ni Prince Seven. Napatayo naman ako sa narinig at halos manlumo.

"But she's still a baby and.." I murmured. 'who is he to decide what to do with my child?'

Napakuyom ako ng kamay at nag teleport sa Throne room kung saan bumungad sakin ang anim na prinsipe, kasama na si Giovanni na sya mismong kaharap ng ama nya.

"Your Majesty, this has to be decided by the two of us." salita ko habang naglalakad papalapit sa Hari.

"There's nothing for you to agree on, Your Majesty. I have decided and that's final." The King said.

"Your Majesty! The Princess is still a baby! You can't do this to your child!" reklamo ni Prince William.

"I am her Mother, Your Majesty. No one can take her away from me." salita ko at diniin ang salitang 'Mother'.

"Please Father, spare the Princess. We can send a different envoy to them." salita ni Prince Giovanni.

"And what do you suggest, huh?" The King asked. Natahimik naman si Prince Giovanni.

"I'll go with the princess instead." sagot ko sa tanong ng Hari.

"No!" reklamo naman ni Prince Benjamin at napatingin naman sakin si Giovanni.

'Maybe this is a chance for us to escape, Van. I'll go instead and take away Sky.' I'm silently hoping that his mind is open for my thoughts to enter.

"As you wish, My Queen." sagot ng Hari. Nanlumo naman ang mga prinsipe. Tumalikod ako at simpleng nginitian ang mga prinsipe.

*****

"Are you sure about this, Your Majesty?" tanong ni Prince Calix na syang umasikaso sa pag-alis ko. Hawak ko si Zenith at nakaupo na sa loob ng karwahe ng silipin nya kami. May halong pagsalungat sa gusto ko ang mukha nya.

"Yes. Perhaps this is the only way, Prince Calix." sagot ko at ngumiti ng marahan sa kanya. Sinabihan na namin sila ng mga prinsipe sa plano namin ni Giovanni. At mukhang si Giovanni narin ang tatapos sa lahat ng kaguluhan habang wala ako sa palasyo.

Ngunit nag-aalala parin ako kay Giovanni at kay Sky na naiwan sa palasyo. Nangako naman ang mga prinsipe na hindi nila pababayaan si Sky at tutulong sila kay Giovanni sa kung ano man ang balak nito.
