Chapter 19

"This Kingdom has been so good to it's people since then, and would be this happy without the people ruling it. After my father died King Czandro, he has left me with this kingdom, the only thing he has and the only thing he could ever give me. Huge responsibility, right?" he laughed before continuing. "Well to rule this Kingdom, I have with me my wife, Queen Inna. We were blessed with three children; my twins, Princess Czarina and Princess Azarina and my youngest, Czairo."
As the majesties names were called out, they stood up and bowed.
"Czarina here is far different from her sister Azarina," Queen Inna stated. "Czarina is more inclined with weapons and racing while Azarina is a musician, just name any instrument and she can perform it live in front of you, while our son here loves art."
Kinilabutan ako nang may bumulong sa tenga ko.
"Lucky you, you're all of those things, huh?" said Castriel.
"Can you keep your mouth shut just for a few hours? Your distracting me in my work," I told him but he just pouted like a kid.
Inirapan ko ito at ibinaling ang atensyon sa Hari. Habang nagsasalita ito kausap ang prinsipe ay hindi ko maiwasang mapansin si Lady Iona na tila nakayuko.
Hinawakan ko ito sa balikat, "Are you alright, Lady Iona? Kanina ka pa ho nakatulala, masama ho ba ang pakiramdam niyo?" tanong ko sa kanya.
Napalingon ito sa akin at ngumiti ng pilit habang nakatikom ang bibig.
Bago pa man ako makapagsalitang muli ay nagsidatingan na ang mga putaheng bagong luto at mga alak na tila bagong dating mula sa pagawaan.
The King Blessed the food and let us savor the food they have offered. Kitang-kita ang saya sa mukha ni Fern ang saya nang matikman nito ang iba't ibang putaheng nakahanda sa mesa, gayundin sina Liana at Diana. Si Caspian naman ay tahimik lang na kumakain habang nakikinig sa usapan ni King Czar at Prince Aiden.
Nagpatuloy lamang ako sa pagkain habang maya't maya ang tingin kay Lady Iona. Ang lungkot ng mukha nito, halatang may dinadalang problema. Tila ngayon ko lamang napansin na kanina'y hindi ko siya mahagilap noong papunta pa lamang kami rito. Ano kaya ang nangyayari sa kanya gayong hindi naman siya nagkakaganyan bago kami umalis.
"By the way your majesties, I heard you are having activities later in celebration of our visit?" Caspian brought up.
"Well yes, we have plenty of surprises for you and you can join as well!" The youngest, Prince Czairo answered.
We all laughed 'cause he was so random. The twin princesses also joined in the conversation.
"There will be archery, horse riding, painting, and music festival starting later this afternoon until the next two days of your visit," Princess Czarina explained.
I saw how everybody hype up and looked excited for the activities the majesties had prepared for us.
"Lady Iona will be organizing everything for us to join and enjoy what you have prepared your majesty, isn't that right Lady Iona?" Prince Aiden's gaze went our way.
Nilingon ko ang katabi na si Lady Iona subalit tila wala itong naririnig dahil nakatitig lang ito sa kawalan habang hawak ang kubyertos sa kamay.
"L-Lady Iona, kinakausap po kayo!" mahinang saad ko habang tinatapik ang braso niya.
Napaangat ito ng tingin at nagtanong sa akin. "B-Bakit? Anong pinag-usapan?"
I cleared my throat and explained what the prince discussed just now.
"Prince Aiden said you will be the one to organize the competitions for us later this afternoon and for the next two days."
"Oh! Y-Yes your grace, I've already prepared everything you need for the activity. I will be organizing your activity schedule right after this feast." Nakahinga ako nang malalim nang makasagot si Lady Iona. Alam kong may pinagdadaanan ito dahil balisa siya. Dala na rin siguro ng pagod sa mga gawain para matuloy kami rito kaya siya balisa.
Nginitian ko si Lady Iona at nagthumbs up sa kanya. Tipid naman itong ngumiti at nagpasalamat.
No one dared to talk after eating. Maybe, everyone noticed how bothered Lady Iona is. We all consider her as our leader and the one who gives tasks for us to do. Nakakapanibago lang na tahimik ito.
Pagkatapos kumain ay hinatid muna kami sa mga kwartong tutulugan. Sa isang kwarto ay kasama ko ang kambal, si Fern, Castriel at Lady Iona.
Ang isang kwarto ay nahati sa dalawa kaya't parang nasa isang bahay lang kami. Sa kabilang kwarto naman ang prinsipe at si Caspian. 
Nag-ayos muna kami ng mga kagamitan, nilagay ito sa tig isang kabinet sa silid. The room is spacious and each of us have our own bed. Ang laki nito ay pwede sa dalawang tao nguni't dahil sinuswerte kami, tig-isa kami sa malapad at malambot na kama.
Mamayang alas dos ng hapon pa magsisimula ang aktibidad na ipinaghanda ng hari't reyna kaya't marami pa kaming oras upang makapagpahinga. 
Naupo ako sa kama at nagpalit ng sandalya nang nagsalita si Lady Liana.
"Mayroon ba kayong alam kung bakit ganon na lamang ang pagkabalisa ni Lady Iona?" Nag-aalalang saad nito.
"Oo nga, batid kong parang may mali sa kanyang mga galaw." Napaisip din ako sa sinabi ng dalawa.
