“Kuya, are we nobles? You’re bigtime ah?”
My older brother just laughed andyourself”
“Of course! After all, at last I got out of the mansion!”
“Do not stray too far from us, okay?”
I thought to myself “Why, Kuya?”
“Nothing I just have someone to introduce to you later”
I became excited “WHO, KUYA?”
He whispered “A princess My future bride–”
“–REALLY KUYA?” Cool!
Oh wait, I’onna pee!
I moved away from my brother and went to the comfort room
Phew
When I went out, there were two persons leaning on the wall just in front of the comfort room’s door
A
The hairs on my body suddenly stood up
More so when the wo nails on my shoulder
“–Are you starving Alfredo? This young boy looks good–”
Pak!
A fan hit her hand
“Insolent! You can not lay your fingers on this child”
Her voice was so gentle I lifted my eyes
I became dazed She’s beautiful
Her long hair and her white dress suits her
The two host and they iel
“Your Royal Highness, the Princess Please forgive us!”
Princess?! Is she–
“–You should have followed your brother’s advice to not stray away from him”
Ha?! How did she know about that if she had just arrived?
“Come and I shall return you back to the hall”
She took ether
I was floating in the air She makes me feel different
Like a favorite song, it is enthralling
As we entered the hall, all eyes were on us
My older brother approached us He took her hand and kissed it
“–Looks like you already met–”
“Div Uer brother He was almost–”
“–You arehim ”
Weh? I don’t even understand what they’re saying Who is Penumbra?
Their conversation was cut-off by the announcement of Princess Medea’s arrival People came to her alternatively
When the orchestra started playing again, she and my older brother danced
I could clearly see their love for each other
My older brother is really lucky I hen I grow up, I could find someone who’s like Medea
After the first song, they approached me
“Would you like to dance?” she asked
My eyes became round Sure sure sure!
It’s my chance to show-off what I have learned in order to becoentleman I offered my hand to her
“Let us dance, my fair lady”
I’reeaaaatttt!
I’ht I put my hands on her waist while hers are on my shoulder
We joined the pleasing music
“Your name is–”
“–DON’T SAY IT!” I stopped her I could feel the reddening of my cheeks
“Oh why? Your nahed
“Actually, I do not like my name You should just call me Hio…That’s my nickname”
“Hio…I’ll remember it”
I stared at her the whole ti
“You’re pretty If only you’re not my brother’s fiance, I would want to marry you someday”
She giggled “Oh, really?”
I nodded She caressed ht her mouth to my ears
“–Swear that you are true to your words” she said
“I swear!” I said quickly
I couldn’t forget the night when I met her As in, I dreamed of her instantly
But we never saw each other again
In a twilight night , e
“Hio, forgive e”
I was almost in tears
“Whyyyyyyy?!”
“Our business went bankrupt and all of our belongings were already pawned But you’ll just teet you back Promise”
I clung to his leg “Kuya, don’t leave me”
No matter how loud I wailed, he still left me in the end
