CHAPTER 47- IN HIS ARMS

A L E X

Everyone fell asleep and Luna Crest requested to be the Coachman for tonight and I sat beside him. I want to entertain my fairy. I roll my eyes around. Sitting on a rolling carriage; stargazing on the thousands crystal up in the sky is giving a serenity sensation.

Medyo makati pa ang mukha ko and if this healed. I won't do it again. I swear to God, hundred percent it's regrettable!!

"You should rest your highness. It's cold to night you might catch a cold" he said, his voice is like a whisper. I find it cute and mimicked him and all he did was side eye.

"I can't rest while my beloved fairy is awake. I don't care if it's cold but I can't leave you all alone. Ang sad kaya mapag isa" I said and flirtatiously wink at him.

"It's fine with me"

"Well it's for me" I said and his glaring at me, wrinkles drawn on his eyebrows. "Don't worry I'm going to entertain you tonight" Huminga siya ng malalim at inuntog ng manahan ang ulo ko. Tahimik lang siya pero yung taynga niya nangangamatis. Naalala ko tuloy so Nathan.

Alam ko naman na his part my past already, but he was once my prince. He wasn't a jerk, his a husband material and that's how I was lost and wanting him for my life till we get old. Pero nung natanggap na siya sa trabaho duon na nagsimula ang lahat at naubos na ang oras niya at minsan nalang kaming nagkikita..

I woke up from my senses and someone wipes my tears. I didn't knew I was crying. Why am I crying?! Although it's been years already. "You shed tears again, what was that tears? This drop is precious you know God punished the person who ever makes a woman's cry. It's a sin."

"Unsay asin paghilom oyy. It's just a memory came to find me and I'm having a flashbacks on my head tsaka napuling lang ako"

"You're terrible at lying. You can tell me about it, di mo naman pwedeng dibdibin ang problema mo mahal na prinsesa."

"Basta it's not important and I don't want to talked about it, it's done, it's already a trashed"

"Your longing aren't yah? I know by those eyes, it's not Estheria it's a person"

"How can you be so observant ah Luna Crest? Can you leave me for a minute, mind your own business"

"You're the one who is stubborn enough, disregarding me. I asked you to sleep and now your pissed.

"Hay nako ewan ko sayo"

" I'm always curious bout everything so don't asked me why I'm so observant" he said. I know that's how I made you. Your unpredictable and made to protect the Zendalia. "Its okay, if don't wanna talked about it, you must be tired, get inside and take a rest you don't need worry about me" he said "Wag na matigas ang ulo"

"Walang ulo na malambot Luna crest,  I'm staying here with you all night, if you let me. And there no such rule for a princess protecting her knight"

"Oh that right, you can used that face to scare off any creatures from blocking the road"

I growled. It was insulting "Grave ka naman Ganda ko kaya,  and also. I would rather one rapid mouth take itself elsewhere" I said and he flick my nose. I plucked the lantern from its hook and put it beside me. The creaking of the wheels pronounced in the dark.

Manahan lang siyang tumawa at napatinghala ako sa mabitwing kalangitan. At nakita ko pa ang pagdaan ng meteor until another and another  "Meteor shower!" I let out a gasped of astonishment. And rose up to my seat looking at the view. I never seen a meteor shower in my entire life and it was the best feeling ever and I don't wanna missed it

"Luna crest your missing it!"I called him yet he remain on his spot and refuses

"I've already seen something far more enchanting your highness. Thy beauty outshine any season. Blue waves, sparkling and dancing to the current. It shines brighter when the sun meets the cold water and for a poor soul yearning for it, ended up drowning"

"What are you talking about?" I asked without looking at him.

"Eavesdropping"

"Of course, I just heard you murmuring something I thought your summoning spirits around here and I don't know what to do if you got possessed by some demons and also plus I don't perform exorcism maybe kicking you off the carriage will help" pagbibiro ko sa kanya at tinarayan ako ng tingin

"I said I miss Flindelle... " aniya at binatok ko siya agad. "What's that supposed to mean?" He asked and I sat down, crossing my arms above my chest.

Flindelle is his childhood friend and he loves her truly but later on she was married to someone and that was a heart breaking news to him. The woman gave birth to a beautiful child. He saw her from a few miles away with a family on her own. But sadly she didn't last long, she died. Luna crest saw her that night in pain. He force himself not to get any physical contact with her again that was their agreement. Her last breath calls his name.

Luna crest heard it completely and it made him go insane. He still loves her and visited her grave with a bouquet of flowers. Someone tugged his pants and he leaned back and it's flindelle's daughter. He never hated this child because she was her's, he bend on one knee and pat the little girls head. They both watched her resting place and leave with a bow. Luna crest heart was torn to pieces when flindelle leave him so soon. It was so sudden and he wasn't ready for that..

Napabalik ako sa realidad ng pitukin niya ang ilong ko. "Gagi masakit!!!" Sabay kurot ko sa tagiliran niya. Nang gigil ako kase pinagtitripan niya ang ilong ko

"Kanina pa akong nagsasalita di ka nakikinig" inis na tugon niya.

"Nakikinig naman ako kaso parang nahulog yung utak ko kanina"

"Bat di mo naman pinulot?'

"Bat kaba pilosopo?" I asked and he just shrugged his shoulder and drove the carriages slowly because the road is heading for a slope. "Nga pala Luna Crest anong relasyon mo kay..." I leaves a hint and he just do a side eye. Mukhang siya pa yung galit nagtanong lang naman yung tao e. Di ko na kailangang magtanong Kay flindelle kundi sa Clarabelle nayun. His eyes were sharp. I gulped and shifted my attention to the rode a head  "Clarabelle...?"

"Why'd asked?"

"I commanded you to tell me" hes marked lit and he flinched. It's because if he tried to be stubborn that mark lit up and it will sting like a bee.

"I met her because of Kylve, I was drunk that night and...." He continues and I was glad to hear it. Because he tell every little details. Clarabelle's part was not well mention but she still part of my story because she was so obsessed with Luna Crest and tries everything to get herself pregnant. I rested my chin while listening to him.

I sat down properly with a smile on my face. I feel you Clarabelle sino ba naman Hindi mahuhulig sa kanya. I portrait him as perfect and woman go crazy on him, yet I didn't feel hard. Kase wala akong isinulat na maging close kami sa isa't isa at mainlove sa kanya kase sa story ko hindi talaga kami magkakilala at nagmeet tulad ngayon.

His an important character on my story because he was the warrior who was sent to assassinate me. And yet his my knight. I smile and rest my head on his arms and he startled. "One day I might be up there"

"Anong gagawin mo sa langit?"

"Makipag appear kay lord tas baba lang dito"

"Sira ulo ka talaga"

"Baliw ka kase ang ganda ng moment ko tas ang slow mo pa kausap. Sinabi ko may araw din na ang malapit sakin ang tatapos sa'king buhay" wika ko at natakot ako ng lumingon siya sakin "De joke lang"

"Don't say that, you're putting burdens and left a scar from someone who just happen slowly healing itself.."

"Owwsss,, dramatic amputa hahah alam mo di kita gets ano bang pinagsasabi mo ah, baliw kana ba or epekto ng walang tulog"
