Chapter 58
ELEENA'S POV
"Anne" tawag ko.
"Hmm?" Sagot niya habang inaayos ang damit ko sa likod. Tinignan ko ang orasan at Sampung minuto nalang at bubuksan na nila ang gate.
"Do I really have to wear this? It's quite uncomfortable to me" sabi ko at napatingin sa salamin. I'm wearing a dress right now. How am I suppose to play with the kids in this kind of dress?
"Tiisin mo muna Eleena. Isang beses lang to sa isang taon mangyayari. I'm sure Princess Meraki and Princess Felisha will also wear a dress today" ngiting sabi niya at may inilagay na ornament sa buhok ko.
I am wearing a Long dress. Malaginto ang kulay nito at may disenyong rosas.
"Done" sabi niya at tinignan ako sa salamin. I guess I don't have a choice. Ngayon lang din naman to mangyayari.
"Thank you, Anne" pasalamat ko at ngumiti.
"My pleasure, Future Empress" sabi niya na ikinatawa ko. The ritual will be held tonight. Kaya iba ang plano ko ngayong araw. I'll go outside and meet them. I heard a lot of stalls are built in there.
"Limang minuto nalang at bubuksan na nila" sabi ni habang nakatingin sa orasan. I wonder if Caspian will also come out? He really doesn't like to be with a lot of people.
I should go and ask him...
"I'll be going now, Anne. I guess Captain Lux will also come" sabi ko na ikinamula niya.
"You don't need to be embarrassed, Anne. Mag enjoy ka din" ngiting sabi ko at lumabas ng kwarto.
Lahat nang nakakasalubong ko ay bumabati sakin at nginitian ko lang sila. They all seemed in a good mood today.
Ilang minuto ang nakalipas ay narating ko na ang office ni Caspian. Kumatok ako at agad itong binuksan.
"C-caspia---" napatigil agad ako ng walang Caspian na bumungad kundi isang babae. She seemed shock when she saw me but she immediately bowed and greeted me.
"Greetings, Future Empress" bati niya. I look at her clothes and I guess she's a knight. Iba ang stilo ng damit niya.
She lift up her head and I suddenly notice that she's a beautiful woman. Having those beautiful Curly Crimson Red hair and Green Eyes and she's freakin tall! Kung basehan sa height ko taga leeg niya lang ako langya!
"Binabati po kita sa pagpapagaling niyo" sabi niya at ngumiti. I wonder who is this woman.
"Thank you. Are you one of the knights here? Di kasi kita nakikita dito" tanong ko at ngumiti. Mukhang mabait naman siya.
"No, Future Empress. I'm the PK of Duke Kade Reyes of Lichelle. One of the Emperor's cousin" sabi niya. Unti lang pa lang din ang nakilala kong mga kamag-anak ni Caspian. As far as I know Emperor Castier have 2 siblings. Isang babae at isang lalaki. That Duke must be the Son of that Princess.
Napatingin naman ako sa pintuan ng bigla itong bumukas. Bumungad naman si Caspian na ikinangiti ko.
"Eleena, What are you doing here?" Tanong niya. Napatingin naman ako sa kakapasok lang. May malagintong buhok at pulang mata. He must be the Duke of Lichelle.
"Greetings, Your Majesty" bati ko kay Caspian. Nakita kong tumayo siya sa tabi ni Caspian na ikinatigil ko.Tumingin ako sa knight at ibinalik sa kanya.
Why is his knight taller than him?
I can't deny that he's handsome pero magkasingtangkad lang kami.
"Greetings, Future Empress" walang emosyong bati niya. Agad naman akong bumati pabalik at ngumiti.
"What are you here for, Eleena?" Tanong ni Caspian at umupo sa sofa.
"I'm about to ask you if you're going outside?" Tanong ko. Nadismaya ako ng umiling ito.
"I can't, I still have some business with this short prick" walang ganang sabi ni Caspian na ikinagulat ko.
WTH?! Did he really called him a short prick?!!
"Pfft"
Napalingon naman ako sa likod ng makitang ngpipigil ng tawa ang knight niya. Napansin ko ring napaseryoso ang mukha ng Duke.
Langya! Gusto mo bang mamatay ng maaga?! Wag kang tumawa!!
Gusto ko mang ding tumawa pero nang makita ko ang reaksyon ng Duke biglang umatras yung tawa ko.
"I understand. Then, I shall take my leave, Your Majesty" paalam ko sa kanya. Nagpaalam rin ako sa Duke at lumabas. Naglakad naman ako palabas ng palasyo.
I didn't expext he would be busy today. Pero wala akong magagawa. I should understand him. Hindi naman sa lahat ng oras sa akin mapupunta. May mga responsibilidad parin siya bilang Emperor. Pero sana maaga matapos ang trabaho niya.
Liliko na sana ako pakaliwa ng makasalubong ko si Christina at Leo.
"Eleena!"
"Christina!" Gulat naming sabi. Agadnko naman aiyang niyakap.
"I'm glad you're awake now. I was worried about you" galak niyang sabi at niyakap ako pabalik.
"Thank you. It's been a while since we saw each other" masayang bulas ko at kumalas sa yakap. Napatingin naman ako sa tiyan nuya at malaki na ito. I wonder why ang laki na talaga ng tiyan niya e ilang buwan pa ang lumipas.
"Yes, Narinig kong binato mo ng tsinelas si Leo" sabi niya. Napatingin naman ako kay Leo na nakasimangot.
"Oo, Bakit?" Tanong ko.
"Sana binato mo rin ng sapatos ni Caspian. Na iistres na ako sa lalaking to" sabi ni Christina na ikinatawa ko.
"What the! Why did you say that? This is an abuse! Masakit mabatuhan ng sapatos" simangot na sabi ni Leo.
"I know, Dear. Biro lang yun" sabi ni Christina at napatawa. Napailing nalang si Leo at napangiti. Seeing them together makes also want to smile. It's like a beautiful portrait. I can't wait seeing them together while one of them is holding their child.
"Is Zane already here?" Tanong ko.
"Wala pa, hindi ko siya nakita. Lalabas ka ba ngayon?" Tanong ni Christina. Tumango naman ako.
"I'm sorry, I can't come with you. Hirap na rin kasi akong maglakad. Ang laki na kasi ng tiyan ko" sabi niya.
"It's okay, You can spend time with Leo. Ayoko ring mapagod ka. Kita nalang tayo mamayang gabi" ngiting sabi ko at hinawakan ang tiyan niya.
"Wag mong pahirapan ang Mommy mo. Lalo na't may nagbibigay na ng sakit sa ulo sa Mommy mo" sabi ko at tinignan si Leo.
"Sumusobra kana Eleena. Nakakasakit kana" aabi niya na ikinatawa ko.
"Edi masaktan ka. Wala akong pake" sabi ko at naglakad papalayo.
"See you later, Christina!" Sabi ko at kumaway. She nooded and they continue to walk.
Ilang minuto ay nakalabas na ako sa palasyo. Nagulat ako na marami nang tao. I saw the stalls at the side and selling different kinds of things.
They were having fun. Children were running and playing. Some of the aristocrats were also having fun. May nakita din akong mga naka unipormeng estudyante galing sa Nethilor.
Napangiti naman ako habang tinitignan sila. I'm glad they're enjoying.
"Greetings, Future Empress" bati ng kawal sa gilid ng pinto. Ngumiti naman ako at tumango.
"Eleena!"
Napatingin ako sa harap at napangiti nang natanaw ko si Felisha at Meraki.
Agad ako naglakad patungo sa kanila.
"Thank Goodness you're now awake!" Ngiting sabi ni Meraki at niyakap ako. They really seemed worried about me.
"Ako din payakap ako" sabi ni Felisha na ikinatawa ko.
"Salamat sa pag aalala. You both look beautiful as always" sabi ko at tinignan ang suot nila. Ann was right they were both wearing a dress.
"I don't understand why I have to wear this. I'm more comfortable to the clothes I used to wear" sabi nuya at hinawakan ang damit niya.
Shes wearing a long beautiful red dress.
While Meraki is wearing a long beautiful blue dress.
"Tiisin nalang natin. Ngayon lang naman to" sabi ko at hinawakan ang kamay nila.
"Then, shall we go and enjoy now?" Tanong ngumiti. Tumango naman sila kaya hinila ko sila papunta sa mga stalls.
CASPIAN'S POV
"Where is it?" Tanong ko. Nilabas naman niya ang isang maliit na kahon at inilagay sa lamesa. Kinuha ko ito at binuksan.
"Yan ba?" Rining kong tanong ni Kade. Pangiti ako ng makita ang singsing.
"Yeah..." Bulas ko at kinuha ito sa kahon.
It's beautiful...
"So, when are you planning to propose again?" Tanong niya at sumandal.
"Tonight" sagot ko habang ibinalik ito sa kahon.
"Mukhang di ka na makapaghintay ah" ngising sabi niya.
"Shut up Kade. Go and find yours. We're at the same age but you're just sitting there at walang paring panibago katulad ng height mo" sabi ko na ikinaseryoso niya.
"Oh shut the f*ck up, Caspian. I'm not pressuring myself" seryosong sabi niya at tumayo.
"We'll then, Goodluck on your proposal. Baka hindi ka pakakasalan" sabi niya at tumawa.
This prick!
"Too bad for you. Baka walang tumanggap sayo. Mas matangad pa ang Knight mo kesa sayo" ngising sabi ko at napatingin sa knight niya.
I saw this woman before she's a daughter of a Viscount. I wonder why she chose to be a knight with this short man.
"We'll be leaving now. Celest, let's go" sabi niya at lumabas. Humarap sakin ang Knight niya at nag bow.
"We shall take our leave, Your Majesty" sabi niya at lumabas. Napahinga ako nang malalim. Kinuha ko ang singsing at tumayo. I walk towards the window and notice a lot of people walking outside.
I wonder what Eleena's doing right now...
Three noblewomans playing with the children. Napangiti ako nang makita si Eleena. When I saw her here in the office. I badly want to hug and kiss her lips. Too bad that prick is there to deliver the ring.
I wonder what it looks like seeing her playing outside with our child.That would look wonderful...
Napailing nalang ako sa naisip. Then, I have to hurry. Marry her immediately and make her pregnant.
ELEENA'S POV
Napangiwi nalang ako habang nakatingin sa mga maid. They're all busy fixing my dress. Kakatapos ko lang maligo.
"Umupo kana Eleena. Para maiayos na natin ang buhok mo" sabi niya habang hinihila ako papunta sa upuan.
Umupo naman ako at napatingin sa salamin. Napansin ko ang isang kahon na may bulaklak.
"Anne? Para san yan?" Tanong at tinuro ang bulaklak.
"Ilalagay sa buhok mo yan" sagot niya. Narinig kong bumukas ang pintuan at napangiti nang makita si Lorenzo.
"Lorenzo!" Ngiting sbai ko. Ngumiti naman siya at bumati.
"Greetings, Future Empress" bati niya na ikinatawa ko.
"You don't have to greet me, Lorenzo" sabi ko. Lumapit naman siya at tinapik ang ulo ko.
"Gotta make you more beautiful tonight. Maraming manunuod ngayon sayo" ngiting sabi niya at pinisil ang pisngi ko.
"Now everyone, hurry up!. Ilang oras nalang magsisimula na" sabi ni Lorenzo at agad na nilang sinimulan ang pag ayos ng buhok ko.
Ilang oras ay natapos na lahat. Napangiti ako nang makita ang resulta sa salamin. They never fails to amaze me.
I'm wearing a dirty-white long dress with a train length of a chapel. Sobrang taas nito at may mga disenyong maliliit na bulaklak. It also matches to the ear cuff with tiny purple gems hangging and a cresent moon on my right ear.
"Thank you everyone" pasalamat ko.
"Then, shall we take off your ring and bracelet just this time, Future Empress?" Tanong ni Anne na ikinataka ko. Napatingin ako sa singsing. It will be okay with Caspian right?
"Okay lang ba kung singsing lang yung tatanggalin ko? The bracelet still fits to my dress" sabi ko at tinanggal anh singsing. Tumango naman siya.
"We should go now. Sampung minuto nalang at magsisimula na. The Fairy Queen must be waiting for you outside now" sabi ni Lorenzo.
CASPIAN'S POV
"Greetings, Your Majesty" bati ng lahat na nakakasalubong ko. Marami ng tao dito. Ilanginuto nalang din at magsisimula na ang ritual.
I take a look at the tree. It's really on a bad state. Walang kabuhay buhay. Wala ng dahon at bulaklak. Patay rin ang lahat ng bulaklak sa gilid ng lake.
"Limang minuto nalang at magsisimula na"
Nalingon ako sa gilid at nakita si Zane.
"I know" walang emosyon kong sabi.
"I'm glad Eleena is here to fix this problem" bulas niya habang nakatingin sa puno. After what happened in the border. Zane was taken to the dungeon and stayed there for almost two weeks as a punishment to what he did.
"Don't hurt her again. Madali siyang masaktan pero hindi niya yun pinapakita. Consider yourself lucky, Caspian" sabi niya at tinignan ako.
"I know I'm lucky to have her, Zane. I know..."
ELEENA'S POV
"Lesly!" Tawag ko sakanya. Napalingon naman siya sa gawi ko at napangiti.
"Ate!" Galak niyang sabi. Niyakap ko siya ng mahigpit at ganun din siya.
"Na miss kita" bulong ko at kumalas sa yakap.
"Thank you for saving Caspian" sabi ko at hinawakan ang kamay niya.
"Wag kang mag pasalamat sakin ate. They should be the one you need to thank for" sabi niya at biglang umilaw ang hawak niyang staff. It's a staff na mala araw ang disenyo sa ibabaw at may nakakabit na limang klaseng kulay na gem sa ibaba nito. It also has 5 five tiny bells between every gem. May malaking gem din sa gitna at nagkahalo ang limang kulay. She also have different color of hair just like what I saw to the previous Empress.
Nagulat ako ng may biglang lumitaw na maliit na liwanag.
"Meet the Winter Fairies. Sila ang nagligtas sa Emperor" sabi niya. Tinitigan ko ito at winter fairies nga ito.
"Greetings, Future Empress" sabay nilang bati. They're beautiful and as white like snow. Ang ganda ng mga pakpak nila.
"Thank you for saving the life of the Emperor" sabinko at nagbow sa kanila.
"Our pleasure, Future Empress. Now, it's also your time to save the tree. The Golden Tree Fairies are waiting for you" sabi sa pinakagitnaan nila. Ngumiti naman ako at tumango.
"Then, shall we start now?" Tanong ni Lesly. Tumango naman ako. Inilahad naman niya ang kamay sakin at hinawakan ko ito.
"Féràntwîm percôsa" she chanted and notice some tiny magic circle around us. Ibat- ibang kulay ito. Bumungad ang mga fairies sa ibat-ibang Kingdom. They all look beautiful and unique in there own way.
Binitawan ni Anne ang kamay ko at tumalikod.
"Let's go" bulas niya at naglakad lakad.
CASPIAN'S POV
We're still waiting here for Eleena. Isang minuto nalang at magsisimula.
"Where is she? It's ti---" napatigil sa pagsalita si Leo nang makarinig kami ng tunog. That sound... It's been years since the last time I hear that sound.
Those sound of bells...
Una kong natanaw ang Fairy Queen.Her name was Lesly right? I look at the staff she's holding. When Mother dies that staff suddenly vanish like a thin air.
I used to held that staff when I was a kid. I'm glad I see it again for all these years.
"There she is" bulong ni Leo. Naagaw agad ang tingin ko sa nakasunod sa Fairy Queen.
Eleena...
How can she be this more beautiful? Nakapalibot sa kanya ang mga fairies. She never fails to amaze me. Napatigil naman ako ng tumingin siya sakin at ngumiti.
F*ck! My heart is beating crazy right now!
"Your name really suits you, My love" bulas ko at napangiti.
Ah, I'm glad you broke the taboo Xian. I'm proud of you...
"Greetings, Your Majesty" bati ni Lesly. I just nooded. She handed a knife and a golden chrysanthemum.
"Please put some blood in the flower, Your Majesty" sabi niya. Agad kong sinugatan ang daliri ko at nilagyan uto ng dugo. She immediately walk towards Eleena and shes also did the same.
She gave the flower to Eleena. She walk towards the lake and put flower on the water. Napansin ko ring nagsipuntahan sa lake ang mga fairies.
She started singing and I immediately felt the breeze. Everyone was quiet while watching Eleena singing.
The first time I saw her singing in front of the lakes felt horrible. I taught she's going to leave me.
The fairies started dance. Napansin kong may tumutubo sa lupa. I realize it's a flower and it was glowing beautifully. The fieflies were everywhere...
"What the!"
Napalingon agad ako sa likod ng marinig ko ang boses ni Allen.
"Anong ginagawa ng mga usa dito?" Sabi niya na ikinatigil ko. What are they doing in here? The animals are starting to show up.
Everyone was shock when they saw the flowers were glowing at sa mga nagsilabasang hayop. Naagaw ang lahat ng pansin nang umilaw ang puno. It's starting to have leaves and Golden Flowers.
I look at her and she's still singing while looking at the tree. I never expect this would be magical.
Everyone was amazed on what they are seeing right now. Everyone one of us would never forget how magical this right now.
"Look" sabi ni Leo at may itinuro sa ibabaw. It's a massive golden magic circle.
"It's starting to seal the border now. I'm glad Eleena did it" ngiting sabi niya.
The song ended and the light is slowly fading. Napatahimik silang lahat ng ilang sigundo at buglang nagsigawan ang nag palakpakan.
"WOOOOOH!!!!!"
"ANG GALING!!!!"
"THE BARRIER IS BACK!!!"
They are all happy... The barrier is back...
Nahagip kong nakatingin si Eleena at nakangiti. I walk towards her and kiss her forehead.
"You did a great job, My love" ngiting sabi ko.
"Thank you. I'm glad they're happy" sabi niya at napatingin sa mga tao na may bakas ng ngiti sa mga mukha nila
"They all did" sabi ko at hinawakan ang kamay niya.
"Let's go, I found a great place to see the fireworks" sabi ko at hinatak siya.
ELEENA'S POV
Nasa tuktok kami ng palasyo ngayon. Kitang kita ang lahat ng mga tao sa lake dito.
"It is a great place here to see the fireworks" ngiting sabi ko at nilingon siya. Napansin kong napahinga siya ng malalim na ikinataka ko.
May problema ba siya?
"May problema ba Caspian?" Alalang tanong ko. Umiling naman siya.
"N-no, it's j-just..." Nagtaka ako lalo ng bigla siyang tumalikod sakin.
"Cas---"
"Let me breath first" biglaang sabi niya.
Anyare sa kanya?
Humarap siya sakin at hinawakan ang kamay ko. He seemed nervous. I'm starting to get worried.
"I know I did horrible things to you before. I broke all of my promises with you. I was a f*cking stupid man on hurting you and I regret all of it" sabi niya at iniluhod ang isang tuhod niya na ikinagulat ko.
"You gave me strength when I was weak. You supported me. You were always there to take care of me. You are the reason why I continued to live my life and continue to smile again. To move forward.I was lost when you were forgotten.You are the woman who melt this heart of mine Eleena... You are the warmth of my life. Will you marry me Eleena?Will you be my Empress again?" He confessed. Tears started to fall on his cheeks. Lumuhod naman ako at pinunasan ang mga luha niya.
"Yes, No matter what happens Caspian. I'll be with you forever" bulas ko. Kinuha niya ang singsing at isinuot niya ito sakin. Pinunasan niya ang luha ko at ipinatayo.
Hinawakan niya ang pisngi ko at idinugtong ang noo namin at ilong.
"I love you, Eleena" bulas niya.
"I love you too, Caspia--" di ko na natapos nang agad niya akong sinuggaban ng halik. It lasted a couple of seconds when I suddenly heard a loud noise.
The fireworks has started...
"I can't wait to marry you" he said and smiled sweetly like he was the happiest man in the world.
"Me too, Caspian. Me too..."
