Inayos na ni dimitrio ang mga gamit nila at nilagay sa maleta, he gets his sun glasses and hat at ibinigay ito kay Mhielle.
"What's this?" Mhielle asked, habang inuusisa ang dalawang bagay na ibinigay sa kaniya ni dimitri.
Napailing na lamang sya at isinuot ito sa kaniya.
"Do not remove it, understand?" tumango naman ito at di na nag salita pa.
Naglakad na sila palabas ng kwarto nila at bumaba patungong lobby, nagbayad muna sya bago sila lumabas, ngunit hindi paman sila tuluyang nakakaapak sa labas ay hinarang na sila ng dalawang kawal, na sa tingin nya ay galing imperyo.
"STOP! Haveyou see the princess?" tanong nito habang nakatingin kay Mhielle habang sinusuri, sinamaan nya ng tingin ang kawal at hinila palapit si mhie tsaka niyakap.
"Stop looking at my wife! I don't know who are you talking about," patay malisyang sagot nya rito. Tumango lamang ang kawal kahit nag dadalawang isip ito. Nang makalayo ay agad silang umalis at pumara ng taxi.
"Beijing airport," sambit niya rito pagkasakay kaya't agad na umalis ang driver.
Napansin nya ang pagkamanha ni mhie sa sinasakyan nila, napailing na lamang sya.
"Where are we going Dimrio?" sinilip nya ang mukha ni Mhielle tsaka ngumiti.
"In my place," simpleng sagot nito, tumango na lang ang babae at hindi na nagtanong pa "And, you must stop speaking with your language, somebody will notice you there," mahinang bulong niya rito dahil baka marinig siya ng driver.
"Why?" nagtatakang tanong ni Mhielle.
"It's for your safety my lady, and I witness that you're good in speeking English, where did you learn that anyway?" Dimitrio asked.
"Hehe, I sneak out in the library, I study by my self that is why I'm good at it." Proud na proud niyang sagot.
"Magaling nga, magsuot ng panloob hindi," tinignan sya nito ng nakakunot ang noo.
"What did you say? I do not understand!" nakasimangot na tanong nito, napatawa na lamang sya dahil doon.
"It's my language my lady, It's tagalog!" paliwanag na lamang nya rito dahil naka busangot na masyado ang mukha nito.
"Really? Can you teach me your language?" tumango na lamang sya dahil huminto na ang taxi na sinasakyan nila, bumaba na sila pag kabayad niya tsaka dumiritso sa loob ng airport.
Nakalingkis lang si Mhielle sa braso nya habang nag lalakad sila papasok.
Nag pa book siya ng ready to go na travel kaya madali lang sila makakaalis.He don't know what to feel, na eexcite sya na kinakabahan, he know that it will be not so easy lalo na at isang emperor ang kinakalaban nya.
Nasa loob na sila ng eroplano ng mapansin nyang may mga kawal na tumatakbo palapit sa eroplano na sinasakyan nila.
'F*ck!' mura nya sa isipan nya, hinihiling nyang sana ay umandar na ang eroplano upang hindi sila nito maabutan, hindi man nya alam kung sila ang pakay nito ay kinakabahan parin sya. Napahinga sya ng maluwag ng umandar na ang eroplano at di na nakaabot ang mga kawal.
''Dimrio are you okay?" tanong nito sa kaniya, tumango na lamang sya at pinikit ang mata nya, he'll take a nap, wala pa syang pahinga simula kagabi kayat ramdam nya ang antok.
Nagising na lang sya ng may tumapik sa kaniyang pisngi, he opened his eyes and saw a goddess in front of him, speaking of goddess it's Mhielle.
"This Big flying fish stopped!" big flying what? Inikot nya ang tingin nya at nakitang nag babaan na ang mga pasahero. He removed their seatbelt at bumaba na din, after getting their luggage ay lumabas na sila ng airport, at ang mainit na hangin at ingay ng sasakyan ang sumalubong sa kanila, he felt mhie's hand tighten in his arms, mukang kinakaban ito dahil sa dami ng sasakyan na nasa harapan nila. He smiled at her assuring her that it'll be fine. Inalis nya ang pagkakahawak nito sa kaniya tsaka hinawakan ito sa bewang,
"You'll be safe here my lady," bulong niya rito na ikinangiti ni Mhielle.
Pumara sya ng taxi at sinabi ang address ng bahay niya. Pagkababa nila sa tapat ng mansion niya ay agad siyang sinalubong na dalawang guard nya.
"Good morning po sir," bati nito sa kaniya at tsaka kinuha ang maleta nila. They entered the mansion at agad na sinalubong ng mga katulong niya.
"Magandang umaga sir!" bati ng mga ito sa kaniya, hindi nya lamang ito pinansin at dumiretso na sa loob ng kwarto nya kasama si Mhielle.
"What is magawndang owmaga?" tanong ni Mhielle sa kaniya pag ka pasok nila sa loob ng kwarto ni dimitrio. The way she speak 'Magandang umaga' is so cute, napahalakhak sya dahil doon.
"it means 'good morning'," paliwanag niya rito, tumango naman sya at nakangiti na wari'y may nadiskubring isang kabighabighaning bagay.
"Magawndang owmaga!" She said then giggled, ngunit napahinto sya ng tumunog ang tiyan nya, she's hungry that's for sure, tumawa ng malakas si Dimitrio na siyang ikinasimangot naman niya.
"What's funny?" mataray na tanong niya rito, tinignan nya lang ito hanggang sa matapos ito katatawa "You done?" taas kilay nitong tanong sa kaniya na ikinangiti naman niya.
'Marunong pala to mag taray,' isip isip nya.
"Let's go downstair," tumango na lamang ito at sumunod sa kaniya pababa sa hagdanan, dumiretso sila sa dining room at umupo. Meron nang mga naka handang mga pagkain sa hapag kainan.
"Eat!" sambit niya rito,ngunit kumunot ang noo nya ng hindi ito gumalaw at nakatingin lang sa pag kain.
"What's wrong?" nag tatakang tanong niya rito, tinignan sya nito.
"Where's chopsticks? How can we eat?" nag tatakang tanong nito sa kaniya.Yeah right! Isang chinese nga pala ang kasama nya, he almost forgot.
"Use the spoon and fork, look how I do it." Tumango naman ito at kumuha ng bagay na kagaya ng hawak ni Dimitrio.
Dimitrio started to eat at ginaya naman siya ni Mhielle, napangiti na lamang sya dahil madali lamang matuto ang prinsesang kasama niya.

Narito sila ngayon sa loob ng sasakyan niya, he is going to buy Mhie's a new clothes and stuffs.
"Can you teach me how to drive this thing Dimrio?" nilingon nya ito at napangiti.
"Maybe some other time," sagot niya rito, tumango lamang ito at sumilip sa labas.
"In the palace, there is no such thing, we used to ride at the horse with a thing at the back, or they carry me."
Karwahe? Kalesa?
Hindi na lang sya nag salita, he let her speak and he listened.
"When I leave the palace, I used my horse, it takes me Three hours before I leave the horse, I walk maybe another 1 hour then I saw the bridge where I met you, isn't that cool?" nakangiting sambit nito.
"Does your palace too far away?" tanong niya rito ng hindi ito tinitignan, tumango naman ito.
"Yeah!, we are in the middle of the mountain, far from the civilization. The empire looks like a big town." Tumahimik nalang ulit sya.
"I remember my twin, she knows that I sneak out of the palace, she told me she's not gonna tell anyone. I wonder what my father's face looks like now, maybe he's really really mad by now, I can imagine the smoke in his nose and his red face hehheheh." napangiti na lamang siya sa kadaldalan ng prinsesang kasama niya.
Hininto nya ang sasakyan sa tapat ng mall... niya,
he owns 30 malls all over the country, that is why he is really known as one the most successful business man.
Agad syang binati ng mga staff ng mall, ngunit hindi nya ito binati pabalik.
Hawak lang nya sa kamay si Mhielle, habang nag lalakad sila sa loob ng mall. He bought everything that he saw that will suit at Mhielle. Dresses, shoes, sandals, and other girly stuffs.
"Father!" tawag pansin ni Mhiesy sa kaniyang ama, Mhiesy is Mhielle's twin."What?!" iritadong tanong ng ama niya sa kaniya. Mainit ang ulo nito, ayaw nyang sinusuway sya ng kahit sino man, lalo na ang mga anak nya."They didn't seen Mhielle, what are you going to do, tomorrow is our 25'th birthday, and must be the wedding with the prince of Ying Empire. They will be disappointed, what'll you do?" "I think I have no choice but to marry you with the prince. " napangisi sya ng palihim, her plan works."I have to go Father." Yumukod muna sya bago umalis sa kinaroroonan ng kaniyang ama. Now that Mhielle is out of her sight, she will make sure that Ying Xien will marry her, and she'll be the next empress of their empire. The last thing she need to do is to make her twin gone for good, and will never be found and will never come back 'dead or alive.She wear her cloak, limang alipin at limang kawal ang nakasunod sa kaniya, patungo sila ngayon sa bayan upang puntahan ang mga assasin na
Pagkapasok ni Dimitrio sa loob ng kwarto ni Mhielle ay naabutan niya ito na nakatayo sa harap ng malaking salamin."Magawnda akho!" Mhielle proudly said at the front of the body size mirror,napangiti na lang sya sa kakulitan nito."Who taught you that word?" he asked ng makalapit na siya rito."The girl who entered my room a while ago, she teach me how to use the other things inside this room and you know what? I can already wear underwears and bra, yeheyy!" Namula nalang sya sa mga sinabi nito, why does she have to mention about that."B-but, I already teach you how yesterday right? Am I not a good teacher?" may pagtatampong wika niya."Oh yeah? You're not even looking at me straigh yesterday, and almost of what I understand is just a 'shit' and fu—""O-okay, okay! You're right." hindi na nya ito pinatapos dahil baka kung ano pa ang ibang mabanggit nito."Let's go downstairs," aya nya dito. They went into the dining area where foods are already prepared. It will be the first time in
"I think they have a conclusion that the princess is with you, they just doesn't have a evidence. They just asked me about some sort of bussiness, and you. Hindi naman sila lalapit sa akin ng walang ibang dahilan." Napaisip naman sya dahil dun, maybe someone sees him at China with a girl, at hindi imposibleng may makakilala sa kaniya dahil kilala sya bilang isa sa pinaka successful na tao sa buong mundo."I think, it's better if you two hide" "What do you mean hide dad?" He asked, his father heaved a loud sigh before it stand up and go back with an album on his hand."You know and still remember the story of me and your mom right?" tumango naman sya at ngumiti ."How would I forget about that!, if it's one of the most beautiful story I ever heard. And you're always saying proudly your story to us dad." napahalakhak na lang silang lahat dahil doon."You know how I worked hard to get your mother's hand, I choose to leave my life and chase her, my new life. Their life is not easy, but I
They are all standing now outside his parent's mansion, ngayon ang oras na aalis sila patungong Ilocos, and tallking about time, it is almost twelve in the midnight. "Get in one of my car Son, you already know the place right? Take care, both of you," tumango lamang sya sa kanyang ama at nilapitan ang kaniyang ina."Goodbye mom," he then kissed his mothers cheeks."Good luck to the both of you, alagaan mo sya anak ha, and don't forget to bring a children when you came back. " Tumango lamang sya at tsaka ngumiti. Mukang apo naman ang mga magulang nya isip isip niya. Inalalayan nya si Mhielle papunta sa kotse na sasakyan nila, at agad na pinaandar and kotse paalis sa Mansion."Dimi, are we going to our new house? Mommy Amelda said it to me when we are cooking," basag ni Mhielle sa katahimikan."Yes, and you can sleep primcess, I can handle " sumimangot lamang ito sa kaniya."No I won't sleep, I'll watch you drive," turan nito at sumilip sa bintana."It's still midnight, you must take a

As he went out of the airport, ay ang ingay na hindi nya maintindihan ang bumungad sa kaniya, he can't understand Chinese too well, dahil hindi naman sya nag aral ng Chinese language, ngunit meron syang kaunting alam dahil narin sa mga tsinong nakakasalamuha nya sa bussiness world."Nîhâo!" (hello) bati sa kaniya ng babaeng nakasalubong nya, binati rin nya ito pabalik na may kasamang pag yukod at mag kadikit ang palad na nasa harap ng dibdib, he wasn't used to greet someone but now he must be polite, wala sya sa bansa nya at ngayon ay isa lamang syang normal na lalaking nag babasyon, no bussiness related no VIP treats.He is on the capital of China, which is beijing.

He is staring at her beautiful face peacefully sleeping at his bed, he is thinking about what she said earlier,she wants to be free, malayo sa lugar kung saan sya lumaki, so that's explain kung bakit bano sya sa mga bagay na nakikita nya dahil makaluma ang tradisyon nila, she is not allowed to go outside their empire. Gusto niya itong tulungan, na kahit na emperor o hari pa ang makalaban nya ay wala siyang pakealam, he don't understand himself, he used not to care obout anyone especially when it comes to their private life, but now, he don't think so! He wanted to help her and make her happy and that's so not him."How can you makes me feel this way?" tanong niya rito kahit na alam niyang hindi sya nito masasagot dahil tulog ito, he sighed before stand up. He look at the clock and notice that it is already 5 am, yeah!
