Flademian Monarchy 1: Drive Myself Crazy Be (Completed) [Unedited] R-13

VI✔

I couldn't count how many times my secretary called me just to answer the phone that was ringing for the hundredth or so times that day. Hindi ko naman maasikaso agad ang mga tawag dahil sa dami ng ka-meeting kong mga ambassadors nang umagang din iyon. When I finally finished my last one for the day, I went in to my office and answered all the calls one by one. I even called back some of them as well.

"Hello, Is this Diplomat Horecois?" The man said on the other line. Paalis na sana ako ng opisina nang mag-ring ulit ang telepono kaya't mabilis kong sinagot iyon.

"Speaking. May I know who's this?" Maingat kong sabi pagkat baka ang damuhong si Mason lang ang tumawag at niloloko na naman ako. I know the mad man was capable of such a thing.

"Ethan Transvech." He firmly said. Hindi agad ako nakasagot bagkos ay tila nabigla ako dahil hindi ko naman inaasahang tatawagan niya ako ngayon. The prince and I, we were never been closed friends growing up. Sa mga nakalipas na panahon ay panay mga simpleng pagbati at pagtango lang ang namagitan sa amin kapag nagkakasalubong kami at bukod doon ay wala na.

"Mr. Horecois, you still there?" The prince asked again.

"Yes, Your Highness. Bakit po kayo napatawag? Is something happened?" I answered, seemingly disturbed by his sudden call. Wala akong nakikitang dahilan para tawagan ako ng prinsipe kung wala namang ibang nangyari.

"Well, not much. I just wanna invite you for tonight. Family's throwing a small banquet party. In a few days, I'm going back to Italy for my succession program. A farewell party perhaps. So I'm expecting you tonight at seven. Don't be late Mr. Horecois." He quickly explained and a just like that, he hang up on me without waiting for my answer.

I texted Mr. Berns right away. Ipinaalam ko sa kanya ang nangyaring pagiimbita sa akin ng prinsipe. I said that we should postpone our meeting scheduled for tonight. Hindi ako puwedeng humindi sa imbitasyon ng prinsipe. I know Mr. Berns can't do anything about that but he has the right to know. He was still my boss.

"I know. I'm actually double checking the security for tonight's banquet. That young prince is surely a pain in my neck. If it weren't for the king, I would have kicked that prodigal son of George in his ass long a time ago. Nang matuto ang batang 'yan. Ni walang pinagkatandaan." Galit na galit na sinabi ni Mr. Berns nang tawagan niya ako. He could've just texted back. Ngunit sa inis niya ay napatawag talaga siya.

Natawa ako sa paglilitanya niya. Knowing him, baka namumula na ang mukha sa inis. Paniguradong tumaas na naman ang presyon niyon sa galit. Kung si Mason siguro iyon ay baka matagal na niya itong nabatukan ngunit hindi naman niya magawa kasi nga ay prinsipe ito.

"Mr. Berns, blood pressure mo. Ako na ang bahala sa prisipe mamaya. Pupunta na ako diyan, wag ka nang ma-high blood. Ilang araw nalang naman ay aalis na naman ulit siya." Paalala ko sa kanya. Hindi na siya sumagot bagkos ay huminga na lang nang malalim.

I somehow felt what he was feeling. I knew how irritated he was that time. Ganoon din madalas ang nararamdaman ko kapag kasama ko si Mason. Ngunit wala naman akong maitutulong sa kanya pagdating sa prinsipe.

The prince was still eccentric and immature in a lot of things. Wala pa itong siniseryosong bagay. Hamak na bata pa din ito at nagsisimula palang buhay kumpara sa akin. I just hope that someday, the prince will mature himself up. After all, he was the future of the whole Flademia.

I WAS ABOUT to be done fixing myself up when the doorbell rang. Agad kong pinuntahan iyon kahit na nagkakandabuhol-buhol na ang neck tie sa leeg ko. Hindi ko na malaman ang susuotin kaya't napagpasyahan kong ang itim ng suit na kadalasan kong gamitin ang siyang susuotin ko.

"Surprise." Walang kabuhay-buhay na bati ng kapatid kong si Jessica pagkabukas ko ng pintuan ngunit agad na nawala ang mga pekeng ngiti niya sabay tingin sa akin mula ulo hanggang paa.
