The Twentieth

Third Person PoV
"So why... are you here in my room brother?" tanong ko sa kanya na malayo ang tingin sa may bintana.

"How can you stand up with these lies brother?" sagot nito.

"I can't, but I have to follow the orders."

Suddenly the man looking outside the window stares at his brother for so long with a hint of his anger.

"Just bear with it for while brother, it'll come out sooner or later. You know we can't disobey their orders."

"I'll make sure they'll pay everything if they ended up hurting her." sagot nito at tuluyan ng lumabas ng kwarto.

LOUISE's PoV

"So why are we here Prince Sven?" tanong ko sa kanya dahil nandito kami ngayon sa isang liblib na lugar dito sa gitna ng forest.

"W-why are we here?" tanong ko ulit pero tahimik lang siyang naglalakad habang hawak ang kamay ko.

I-is he going to kill me? Kidnapp me? Or itulak sa bangin?! Waaaaaaa. Natatakot na ko.

"Close your eyes Louise." W-what?!

"Come on. You can trust me." sabi niya then he gently squeeze my hand so I closed my eyes and let him guide me sa pupuntahan namin.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you or anything." pagpapatuloy nito at saglit na tumawa.

"If you do, I'm gonna kill you too. As a GHOST!" sagot ko at tumawa na ito ng malakas.

"I won't, I won't. You're so adorable Louise. But hey, promise me that you won't peek! Malapit na tayo so don't try na." sabi nito.

"What if I do? What're you gonna do huh?" tanong ko then he suddenly grabs my waist and whispers to my ears with his low and husky voice.

"Do you really want to know.. Ms. Louise Antiquillo?"

Napalunok nalang ako at umiling. Then he pats my head and we continue walking. After ng ilang minutong paglalakad we stopped then he let go of my hand.

"You can open your eyes now." sabi nito then I gently open my eyes and- wow! Is this place for real?!

There's a huge tree here beside the lake and when I looked up, there's a small tree house!

"T-this is so beautiful Prince Sven!" sabi ko then I immediately run up close beside the lake. The water is so blue and clear, there's so many different sea creatures in the lake and a lot of butterflies and dragonflies flying around showing their beautiful colours.

"I'm glad..I-I thought you wouldn't like it." sagot niya.

"What're you saying?! This is the most beautiful place I have ever seen in my life!" sabi ko at niyakap ko siya ng mahigpit.

"I'm glad that you love it." then he hugged me back and stares at me.

"This place became more beautiful because of you." I stared back at him then he gently cupped my face and softly kisses me.

"You're so beautiful.. geez." bulong nito at hinalikan ko na siya pabalik. We've kissed and kissed for I don't know how long we've been doing it then suddenly we stopped to catch our breath.

"Let's go up?" tanong niya then I nodded smiling at him.

Pagka akyat, pumasok kami sa loob ng tree house at natuwa ako dahil may mga pagkain na naka handa.

"You so planned this huh?" tanong ko sa kanya then he chuckled.

"Yep. Told you I won't kill you or anything." sagot nito.
