Royal Government Palace
December 6, Friday

Pagdating ng Biyernes, ay ganoon nga ang nangyari.

Magkakasama na sa iisang lamesa sina Genevieve, Vera, at Sophia.

The other warriors, nobles, and lovelies have arrived already, and most of them are just randomly choosing seats, because unlike the aformentioned three, they haven't established a good relationship yet.

Maliban na lang siguro kay Alexandra na piniling sumama kay Ota. She kinda liked Ota's personality better than the other lovelies.

Maya-maya lang ay isa-isang dumating ang mga rebel. Mabilis na umupo si Margaret kasama ang mga pinakatahimik, namely-Natalia, Kate, and Cressida, a fairly quiet noble.

Si Isabella naman ay basta na lang umupo sa kung saan. Ni hindi niya nga alam na ang mga kasama niya ay sina Eugenie, Fiona, at Regan.

And just like her, Diana also sat randomly. She was on the same table as Jasmine, Beatrice, and Lucienne.

Si Tatiana naman ay mabilis na umupo sa mesa kung nasaan nakapwesto ang pinaka-nakilala niya na. Si Sophia.

Watching the scene was Pauline. Should I just sit with the noisiest lovely? Or should I make a scene?

And Pauline chose the latter. Naglakad siya patungo sa kinauupuan ni Tatiana at mahinang sinipa ang upuan niya. "Ako diyan."

Tatiana rested her right elbow on top of the chair's backrest and looked smugly at Pauline. "I sat here first though?"

"At may pake ako?" sagot naman ni Pauline.

Sophia was uncomfortable with what's happening in front of her, so she quickly interfered. "Uhm...Pauline, doon ka na lang sa isa pang lamesa. Nauna naman si Tat eh."

Kumunot ang noo ni Pauline. "Tat?" she grimaced.

Mukhang close sila. Well, whatever. Let's just make a mess.

And then, something popped up into her mind. She remembered that Tatiana wanted to be queen, and if she's involved in a mess, she'll lose points.

Mabilis na ngumisi si Pauline at saka yumuko para bumulong sa tainga ni Tatiana. "Get the fuck off that seat if you don't want to be involved in a mess with me."

Tatiana immediately glared at her. "Then what? You will be queen instead?" she hissed.

"I don't see why not?" she teased. Mabilis na sumuko si Tatiana at nagdadabog na tumayo mula sa upuan bago lumipat.

A victorious grin was plastered on Pauline's face as she sat down and started eating.

Kanina pa pala kumakain yung nasa ibang lamesa. They didn't care about what happened on other tables.

"What a show," palihim na komento ni Vera habang kumakain. She's not even looking at Pauline when she said it. It's because Florida or the servants might see her talking without a very important purpose.

Mababawasan ang puntos niya. She has to save those for now.

"Enjoyed it?" tanong ni Pauline habang nakangisi.

Hindi naman siya sinagot ni Vera, instead, Sophia answered while frowning. "That wasn't nice."

"I'm not supposed to be 'nice'."

"Just eat. Bakit ba kasi nagpumilit ka pa na dito umupo?" tanong ni Genevieve sa kanya.

Pauline let out a fake gasp. "Wow, ah? Ramdam na ramdam kong gusto niyo 'kong makasama."
