Later that day, sis and I were in the living room playing cards.
" I won! " Sis announced with a grin.
" You did. Congratulations! " I Smiled at her.
At that moment I wasn't in a competitive mood so...
" Oh... I see you aren't that enthusiastic about it. Why don't we do something else instead? "
" Like? " I stared at her.
" Well... Why don't you tell me about your life as a young prince and how your previous birthday's had been. " she said.
" Oh... I thought you had been able to guess that already. " I pursed my lips.
" Um... Maybe but I still want to hear about it all from the horse's mouth. " She insisted and I could only relent.
" Well... Being a young prince hadn't been so fun you know. "
" Are you for real? " She stared wide-eyed at me.
" Of course I am. " I said slowly.
" I know what you might be thinking but, Royalty isn't as fun and interesting as people think it is, you know, as we usually find ourselves being burdened with the affairs of others and the state. We have to be perfect in every way even in our walking and eating habits "
" Really? "
" Yeah... It isn't really as easy and fun as you might have thought it was. "
" Oh... So what is your family like? "
" I guess you've forgotten that it's your family too. " I Chuckled.
" Well... Like I have told you once, I am not that close with my parents, The King and Queen though, my mom seems to care about me a lot but she didn't have much time for me as she's always busy with her Queenly duties. "
" That must be very sad then. "
" It is... I guess. But you know, the material wealth, power and fame that comes with being a Royalty can't be measured. "
" Indeed... But does material things really matter when the heart is void? "
" Not really... "
" So since you left home, have you been in touch with them? "
By them she meant the King and Queen.
" Yeah... Many times, my mom usually pays me a visit whenever she feels like it. Mostly on my birthday though... "
" Oh wow... So does that mean she'll be here today? " She curiously asked.
" Not sure.... She would have informed me earlier if she was, so I am really not sure. "
" Alright, then... "
We were silent as Sushi rested her head on my shoulders.
I was thinking about the possibility of mom showing off all of a sudden and even imagining Sushie's reaction.
I couldn't help but wonder how she would react to it.
Just hoping she wouldn't be too frightened though.
I was pulled out from my reverie by the sound of something dropping.
I reacted by turning to my side and was completely stunned by the sight of my Mom dressed in a simple white dress with embroidery.
She was staring at both Sushi and I in shock.
I looked down and realized that it was her thousand dollar diamond that fell to the ground.
It took me a little time before I could react... Never did I expect my thoughts to come true so soon.
And, I must say I wasn't really prepared for the outcome of all of it.
I looked to my side and realized that Sushi was also staring at mom in shock.
Well, I couldn't blame her though since we all looked alike, just that mom looked a bit older than both of us which is totally expected.
" Mom, you are here... " I said standing up and walking towards her slowly.
I guess my words made her snap out of her dazed state as she automatically Smiled at me, " Hey, I am sorry that I didn't inform you that I was coming earlier... Happy birthday, Daniel! " She said, hugging me.
" Thanks, Mom... " I replied, hugging her.
" Here, This is a gift from your Dad and I. " She said, handing over to me some car keys.
" Thanks, Mom... " I said as I received the keys.
Without anyone even saying, I knew already that the car they got for me was a custom made one that was auctioned out recently.
" Let's have our seat, mom. " She nodded.
I ushered her to another couch and she sat, " I hope you had a great birthday celebration earlier, Daniel? "
" I did. Thanks for asking mom... "
" Am glad... It seems like Naomi is doing a very good job. " She said with a hint of contempt.
Well, it's no secret that mom had always been envious of Na from the very beginning, but she couldn't do anything about her since I really loved her.
" She is, mom... " I Smiled.
We were silent for seconds before mom broke it by asking the multi billionaire dollars question, " So who's she? " She asked, referring to Sushie who was simply staring quietly at us.
" Well... She's my biological little sister's mom. " I replied after a moment of thought.
" What do you mean by that, Daniel? Don't you have a biological sister already? "
" I thought Elena was my biological sister at first but she isn't.... Sushi over there is. "
" How can you come to this conclusion without our consent? " She said with a hint of anger.
" Well... I can feel that she is and I also did a DNA test and it came out positive. "
" Really, Daniel? Feelings can be mistaken and DNA tests can also be forged so how could you trust those! How could you be so gullible, Daniel! What if this was all a scheme to lure you in! " Mom was burning with anger as she stared at Sushie who was almost on the verge of tears.
" That's not true, mom! "
" What do you mean not true? Have you forgotten about your status as the crowned prince and future king of the state? How could you allow yourself to be deceived so easily? "
" But mom... Can't you feel it? Can't you see that we are related, we even look alike for God's sake! "
" Look alike? " She stared deeply at Sushi before turning to face me. " Yes, I can see that but I don't believe it! She might have had plastic surgery to look the way she is! You can't expect less from a scheming little girl like her! "
The moment mom's voice landed, I felt anger burst out of my chest.
I could take people insulting me but not my sister! I just can't! Not even when the person insulting her is my own mother! " Stop it mom! Not another word! " I stopped her immediately as I tried my best to control my anger.
I could see the shock in her eyes as I said this, " You... You are taking her side over your mom's Danny? "
" Mom... Please don't take this the wrong way, but you really have to stop your false accusations. "
" False accusations ah! Only heaven knows what she must have fed you for you to take her side like this... " Mom said scornfully.
Out of my peripheral vision, I saw Sushie standing up and running upstairs in tears.
This broke completely. " Mom, if you have nothing nice to say then you can leave. " I told her as I stood up.
" You are asking me to leave, Daniel? " She said with shock.
" You've left me with no choice.. " I replied coldly.
" Okay... " She stood up with her purse as she stared at me, " I just hope you don't regret your decision. " With this, she walked out of the house rapidly.
The moment she was out of my sight, My legs lost their balance as I fell to the couch. At that moment, I felt so lost.
I had just offended my mom with my words and I feel very guilty.
But at the same time, I felt she deserves it for what she said to Sushie.
She had no right to accuse Sushie unjustly!
While I was there, I suddenly felt a warm hand on my shoulder and when I turned I realized that it was Na.
I immediately hugged and burst out in tears.
At that moment, I just released my emotions, not caring about my image.
I just had to.... For my peace of mind.
" It's alright, Dan. I really understand your pain... " Na said while patting my hair.
" I wonder why, mom just can't seem to understand what I was trying to say to her! " I said calming down.
" Well... You really can't blame her for reacting that way, since she had been trained to not just trust anyone like that. " Na said and I couldn't help but nod.
" I just wish she had a little more faith in me. "
" It's alright... Dan... "
We stayed like that for minutes before I wiped out my tears and broke the hug, " I'll go check on Sushie... '' I told her.
" Oh... You should. "
I nodded before walking towards the stairs.
Soon, I arrived in Sushie's room where I met her lying on the bed in a fetal position.
I went closer to her and then I realized that she was sobbing.
" Sushie... " I called out to her slowly as I patted her back, but got no reply.
" Little sis... Remember what you promised me that you'll listen to me today since it's my birthday? " I said slowly and almost immediately after my words landed, she raised up her head.
Seeing her tear stained face, my heart felt pained.
I sat on the bed as I hugged her tightly, " I am really sorry about what happened earlier... I didn't mean to... "
" It's not your fault so you don't have to apologize to me..." She said slowly.
" Really? " I said, wiping away her tears.
" Yeah... I wasn't really expecting you to make my side in front of the Queen. "
" Ah! Whose side would I take if not yours? " I asked her.
" Well... "
" You know, I wasn't expecting her to react the way she did. "
" I think her reaction is pretty normal though... "
" Really? "
" Yeah... She's a queen after all and must not trust anyone easily. "
" I guess you are right... But, if you are aware of this then why did you run up here crying? " I asked her.
" That's a normal reaction, I guess.... "
" If you say so.... Still, I want to apologize for everything... "
" Apology accepted, birthday boy... " She smiled.
" Hehehe... So I guess I am forgiven now? "
" Yeah... On one condition. "
" Which is? "
" You'll have to tell me more about Elena and how close she is with your mom. "
" Um.... Okay, but that will be in part two of this book which is titled, The Princess Awaken. "
" Oh wow! I never thought the Writer had prepared part 2. "
" She had, and it will be commencing soon... "
" Oh my! I can't wait! "
" Same here's... I just can't wait for you to claim your rights as the crowned Princess. "
" Really, Hehehe? "
" Yeah.... Now that you've learned to love yourself, the next thing is for you to claim back your rights... "
" You are right I guess... I have got a feeling that it won't be easy though... "
" I know... But I have got your back! We are in this together! "
" I have got no doubts about that! "
" Yeah... ' cuz we are a team. " I Smiled as I embraced her.
" Yes, we are.... " She said as she rested her forehead on my chest as we stayed like that in silence...
Indeed, claiming her rights wouldn't be easy, but I was ready to fight for it alongside her.
No matter what, I'll always be on her side.
And this is my promise to her!
THE END.
