Chapter 438 - Penelope and Hanz: His Daughter (1/2)

Pumasok si Prince Hanz sa hotel suite ni Kaitlin dahil pinaalis siya ni Baba sa royal suite. Natagpuan niya ang anak na nagbabasa ng libro nito sa cream na single couch.

Nagrereflect sa kalahati ng mukha nito ang liwanag na nagmumula sa labas.

”Ah, your Mom is terrible.” Reklamo niya sa anak.

Binaba nito ang libro. ”Did you have a fight with her again?”

Naisipan ni Prince Hanz na umupo naman sa long couch na nasa gilid kung saan ito nakaupo.

”I don't want to fight with her but she was the one who always initiated it.”

Saglit itong nag-isip.

”To be honest, it was also your fault. Mabuti na lang my Mom can do so many things, what will happen if we became a beggar? I will give you a week para mapasagot si Miss Penelope.” Hamon ni Kaitlin sa prinsipe.

”Sa palagay mo, kaya ko iyon?” Napangiwi si Prince Hanz. Duda siya kung mapatawad siya ni Penelope sa loob ng isang linggo.

”Of course you can do it! You are my Dad. duh?”

Napangiti ng simple si Prince Hanz. Kung naniniwala ito na kaya niya, kailangan niyang kayanin.

”On your next break, I'll bring you to my home. Basically, you are a princess because you are my daughter. What can you say about it?”

”Hmm... Nothing.” Sinara nito ang binabasa na libro.

”It's because I live like a real princess ever since I was a child. I have three bodyguards.” Inangat nito ang tatlong daliri.

”And they are not just bodyguards. They are well-trained guards by my Uncle Lorenz. I could get and buy what I want. If I asked my Mom to give me a Disneyland, I guess, she will find ways to give it to me. I lived in a school for girls which is also a dormitory. It was an international school where my Mama spent thousands of dollars every year just to keep me safe. So, even without the title, I am a princess.”

Prince Hanz ”...”

Akala niya ay kaya niyang suhulan sa ganoon ang anak. Hindi ba't ang mga batang nasa edad ni Kaitlin ay madalas ma-excite kapag narinig na isa silang prinsesa? Ngunit iba sa inaasahan niyang tugon mula dito.

Parang biglang umurong ang dila niya sa sinabi nito.

”But don't worry, with or without a title, I am acknowledging you as my Dad.” Saka ito ngumiti sa kanya at ibinalik ang tuon sa binabasang libro.

Napapailing na lang siya, the way Kaitlin talks is royal. With or without a title,  hindi maikakaila na kalahi niya talaga ito.
