Homepage/A Letter for Mary/
Chapter 22
"Sasali ako sa archery, musika at sining." I stood up and said it with so much confidence.
Parang may dumaang anghel sa harap namin dahil wala man lang ni isang nagsalita. Ang baba naman ng tingin nila sa'kin! Grr.
"You're joining three competitions?" Caspian muttered while staring straight at me.
"Yeah." I replied shortly.
"Well if you want to, then I have no right to stop you, Lady Mary." Prince Aiden looked at me with pride pero bigla itong napalitan ng kabadong mukha. "Just don't vomit again in front of people, or in your canvas." Dagdag nito.
"Pftt! I didn't know the prince has this kind of humor!" Caspian bursted out laughing.
Nakita ko din ang pagpipigil ng tawa nila Lady Iona at iba ko pang mga kasama.
Hinayaan ko nalang silang mag-enjoy. Laugh all you want, people. I'll make sure you'll never laugh like that ever again.
CASPIAN'S POV
While all of us are laughing, Mary, on the other hand was looking like an idiot. You ask why? Well as you can see, she's standing beside me with that face she makes when she's too full of herself. It looks funny but scary at the same time. Ito din yung kinakatakutan kong pagmumukha niya. This woman have plans for later and I know she's gonna rock the competitions.
Kung mayroon man na taong kilalang-kilala si Maria, ako 'yon. And I've seen this before, I may not be too showy but, she knows how proud I am of her.
I've seen how cruel the world has been to her. I witnessed how she fought for herself just to survive.
Now back to reality, napagod na kakatawa ang mga kasama ko kaya't kumalma na ang lahat. Nagpahinga lang kami saglit dahil paniguradong mapapagod kami lahat mamaya.
TRUMPETS TOOK OVER OUR EARS AND THE PEOPLE OF FÈATH STARTED TO BECOME BUSY.
There were stalls outside the palace with fuits, vegetables, pastries, and crafts. It was some sort of a festival and a carnival rather than a welcome. I guess this place is really rich, not only because of the resources but to its people.
Everybody was having fun gathering. There were people with horses and from the looks of it, they will be participating on the said event, our opponents. There were also people with their coloring materials, musical notes, musical instruments and people with their bow and arrows and they are not just carrying a simple bow they were quite fancy.
Speaking of items...
"WALA TAYONG GAMIT PARA MAMAYA!" Napantig ang tenga namin lahat kay Fern. This man is really loud; wait no, louder. I admit that I'm loud but he is louder.
Nagkatinginan naman ang mga kasama ko sa kadahilanang tama ang sinabi ni Fern. I didn't bring any horse, actually. Neither do everybody.
The prince chuckled when he saw the others seemingly in distress.
"Calm down, my people. The palace offers and provides all the materials we need for later, even the horses." Tila kuminang ang mga mata ni Fern sa sinabi nito at ang lahat naman ay napabuntong hininga na lamang because of relief.
Actually if I won't be able to compete for the reason that I don't have a horse to ride on, then I'll just ride someone. Kidding.
I let out a small laugh dahilan na mapatingin sa'kin si Maria. Nakakunot-noo ito na lumapit sa akin.
"What was that laugh for?" She asked curiously.
Tinaas ko ang isang kilay bago magsalita.
"Nothing." I replied which made her look at me dead serious.
Oh scary.
Hinawakan ko ito sa dalawang balikat at pinatalikod ko siya sa akin. I then moved my lips closer to her right ear before speaking.
"I just thought, if I can't ride a horse. I will ride you instead."
Mary's POV
Hindi tinigilan ng mga mata ko si Castriel. I'm gonna kill him! He left me there standing in disgust after he said those things to me! Nakakakilabot talaga ang lalaking 'yon!
"Come o, Lady Mary! It's about to start!" Hindi na ako nakadaing pa kay Lady Diana at nagpahila na lamang papunta sa unang aktibidad.
We saw ourselves sitting at the bleachers, we are all here except for Castriel, Prince Aiden and Caspian. We are at the horse riding competition. The three men that apparently not with us is preparing for the competition, and from what I have heard, they are currently choosing horses at the stable.
"Napakatagal naman nila! Nayayamot na ako sa kakahintay!" Rinig kong saad ng dalawang dalaga sa harap namin.
"Kaunting oras nalang binibini." Saad naman ng kasama nitong babae na tila hindi mapakali dahil sa kilos ng kasama nito.
I think they are not related, neither are friends. Maganda ang suot ng unang nagsalita kanina kung ikukumpara sa kasama nito. Maybe she's working for her.
"THERE THEY ARE!" Fern shouted out of nowhere.
Lahat naman kami ay napalingon sa gawing itinuro nito.
That's when I met Caspian's eyes. He's wearing a mask and today it was white. His mask made his presence even more intimidating and a mystery.
Castriel then made his way into my eyes. He was wearing the cloak I made for him as a present two years ago. I didn't know how did he brought that here! I thought he was not ready for this yet here he is in a complete outfit. To be honest, Castriels looks handsome, I can't deny that.
Last but not the least all of us where star strucked by a gold lining from the one and only Prince of Halcyon Kingdom. He really knows how to get everyone's eyes. Well of course, he is the prince.
"Lady Mary!' Lady Diana tapped my back.
I looked at her beside me. Tinuro niya sa akin ang dalawang babae sa harapan namin.
Naguluhan ako kaya't ibinaling ko dito ang tingin.
I saw how the lady stared at the Caspian as he walk towards us. Don't tell me this lady is looking for a husband?!
Sa dinami-dami ng lalaking dumaan, si Caspian pa talaga ang sinundan nito ng tingin.
"Can you hold this for me?" Caspian muttered out of nowhere while looking deep into my eyes.
I blinked. "H-Huh?"
Nang hindi ko ito sagutin ay kinuha niya ang kamay ko at nilagay sa aking palad ang itim na maskarang suot niya kanina.
"Take a good care of it or else."
Kumunot ang noo ko. Or else what?
