I look at the food while listening to Lilibeth's rants.
Kesyo hindi daw masarap ang pagkain at nakakataba ito, na dapat daw palitan ang head chef.
She's total bitch yet kakampi nila lahat ng tao sa bahay. I dont know why they hate me so much.
"Anak, bakit hindi ka kumakain? Am I right? Hindi masarap ang pagkain?" She smiled acting like a good mother.
"Its fine Lilibeth." Maarte ka lang talaga. I wipe my face and look at Lilliane eating chocolates already. What a kid. I rolled my eyes before standing up.
"You should go out Tia, go shopping." I look at my father.
"I will." I said.
"I'll give you pocket money, and bring your sister with you." I look at my father with anger in my eyes.
He wasn't like this before I die, he's just ignoring me back then, why is he acting loke this now?
What change his stupid brain?
"No, I wont go with Lilliane and I'll take your money." I said coldly. "Don't go looking for me and stop calling me Tia." He look shock, I turn my back but before leaving the dining I spoke. "Just treat me like a ghost and don't go around looking for me just like you used to do."
I am indeed disgusted by my self back then. Craving for affection from those dirty people?
Im so pathetic.
So as planned I went out with Den to go shopping at the marketplace.
My stress reliever.
To gain Den's favor even if I don't have to and maybe to apologize for my wrong doings back then I bought her a dress and went on a cafe with her.
"It's such a nice day today isn't my lady?"
"Indeed." I said and watch the commoner outside as I drink my chocolate.
I wish to have tea but Den wont let me, this little bug.
I missed my Da Hong Pao tea.
"What wrong over there?" I said and pointed the street where there's a commotion.
"Mga nagaaway siguro." She said then look too.
I'm curious, so I watch the people from a far.
Oh a pack of horses came. Guys with hood stop the commotion. Knights?
They wearing Black and dark purple hood its probably the royal knights.
I was about to look away when I saw a familiar red eyes from a far wearing the Knight's hood. This far, I can see those shining crimson eyes.
We look at each other for like a minute before I look away.
So he's a royal knight and he wants to plan treason with me?
What a jerk.
"My lady we should go before it start raining." I look at my guardian knight.
"Okay." I said. I don't remember having a handsome knight back then. "But who are you?" I asked the blue hared knight. He looks really handsome.
"Caesar is my name my lady." He said and held my hand. "Laisse's loyal knight appointed to lady Arthia." I rolled my eyes when he kissed my hand.
"No need to be formal." I said then took back my hand. "Let's head back to the mansè." I said then move forward first.
We rode our family's Kalesa to go home.
It's already dinner time when we reach the Mansè.
"I'll take a bathe before dining with them." I said then Den request servant to serve me.
Im so tired but its worth it. I get to shopping again.
Its been a long time.
We dine together and my father look probematic because of business.
Casino in the south isn't doing well so father is stress. As I remember back then, walang nagsusugal masyado sa South dahil tagtuyot at hindi ganoong maganda ang daloy ng pera sa South ngayon. At ang solusyon ay babaan ang ticket sa Casino.
Simple pero hindi nya maisip. Who came up with that idea back then?
It was Petra, Lilibeth's personal maid.
"Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko, babagsak ata ang negosyo sa silangan!" Dad said problematically. I laugh and they heard it.
Gosh how I wanted to see them suffer.
"Anong nakakatawa Arthia?" May galit sa tono ng aking ama.
"Naisip ko lang, na kung bababaan mo ang ticket ng casino sa South ay dadami ang mga sugarol." I said and eat my steak. "Try decreasing the entrance fee, Im sure a lot of nobleman will like it, hindi ka naman malulugi." My dad's anger faded. He looks dumbpounded. "Im sure tag-ulan na ang kikita na ang south next month. Kung bababaan mo ang presyo ng ticket ngayong taghirap ang Southern Region at doblehin nalang ito sa susunod na buwan." I said confidently. "Its a win-win for you."
Im sorry Petra, not sorry at all.
