I CAN'T SAY I DO WITHOUT YOU Part 84
“Bienvenido a España!” As we exited the airport, we heard the words being yelled at by a few individuals in the waiting area. “Welcome to España,” We didn't slack off or take a break. We hailed a cab and rushed to the location marked on the piece of paper that Emmet's brother had handed us. The flight from Madrid to Segovia costs 200 euros. His face beamed with anticipation at the prospect of finally reuniting with his mother after so much time had passed. Because he had to go through everything by himself, he had a burning desire to have a person he could call his own mother. When everything seems to be working against him, he doesn't even have anyone to comfort him with a hug. But things are about to change, and Prince Augustus will soon meet the person he has been looking forward to spending time with for a very long time. We've been traveling for about two hours and have reached Pedraza, Segovia. His mother is probably around here somewhere. "Gracias, señor," I said, stumbling o

We leave Spain without his mother. At the very least, we have some information that may lead us to her. But it appears that there is none for him. Through Emmet's brother, we will be able to fly back to Manila by lending his private jet. I was holding his cold hand, which I had never let go of. He never even looks at me ever since we leave Cynthia's house, like he's back to being the gloomy, cold prince. I thought I was the most hapless, miserable person until I met him and found out what he had been through in his life. The lies that he believes. Prince Augustus was only 17 forces to be the next on the throne. Instead of doing what a teenager normally does, he is responsible for ruling the country. He was deprived of his freedom and even the opportunity to meet his mother. —————————— "Princess Damiera, the first daughter and eldest of King Basilius, is your mother." “Princess Damiera?” I repeated. The whole situation makes me confused, especially the prince. “H- how can they li

“Can you please at least tell me where she is? Where is my mother, uncle?” The word “uncle” was not the word the king expected him to hear. But somehow that word made him realize something. That is to tell the prince where the princess is. “Fix yourself. She can't see you like that," he said, commanding the guard to lift the prince off his knees. “Mr. Osiris,” Mr. Osiris stepped forward. “Ready the prince. Have him wear the best suit.” “Yes, Your Majesty.” Everyone went back to their respective jobs. In a room, where one of the servants puts the suit on him, prepared for him by Mr. Osiris. I just sat on the side while he was deep in thought, not caring what the others were doing. Afterward, the king asks the prince to go downstairs, where there’s a caddie cart waiting for him. He hops into the cart without turning around. Maybe he doesn’t want me to go with him. The caddie where Prince Augustus was riding was already ahead. And I was about to go back when the king asked me to hop

The moment the King shows up in front of her. There is something in her face—a growth on her face that she never had before. Our light, Mama, was finally able to smile without forcing it. Mama turned her gaze at me, seeming a little confused by the situation. And in response to her confused expression, I smiled. Finally, she returns her gaze to the king. “Lu... Lucien?” That's when you take a step back and walk away, allowing them to have the conversation they didn't have a long time ago. Part of me was scared of what was going to happen after the conversation, but there were no regrets and no more backing out. I walked without direction, just letting my feet decide where it would take me. Till some cars blocked the road, I was passing by. Emmet’s brother comes out of the car with another envelope in his hand. “You know, I was beginning to suspect you put GPS on me.” "I've got my eyes everywhere,” he replied. “This isn’t a coincidence. I came here on purpose, so do you have a minute

We all stared at Lincoln; we were confused like him. Their eyes shifted to the big screen, where both Lincoln's and Deacon's faces were shown. No, this is not what I want. I didn't bring Lincoln here to compete with Deacon. I'm here to finally stop their quarrel, not to make things worse. Someone set us up; this person knows Lincoln is here. This is my fault; if I hadn’t caused a scene earlier, none of this would have happened. Unlike me, who was anxious about this, people are beginning to jump out of excitement. As if they had been waiting for this fight for a long time. Both are inside their car, which is in the white line. They started the engine of their car together and are now waiting for the woman in the middle to lower the flag she was raising. And when the countdown finishes, the battle between the two number-one racers begins. The shouts of the people were almost deafening to my ears. Along with the loud sound of the exhaust, their hands were banging the fences. And the sh

The trembling hand of Queen Elbereth greeted me when I returned home to the palace. "You are that girl's daughter!" The queen's eyes are full of anger. Apart from the guards around, no one could stop her. "Why didn't you stop messing with the family I built? How could you set the king to meet Catina when I'm still around?" I did nothing but let the queen do to me what she is doing now. Letting the queen slap my face many times just to vent all of her anger until it became numb. "I knew there was something off about you the moment I saw you," the queen said as she lifted my head by my chin. “Are you so desperate that you are willing to sacrifice your mother just to be with Augustus? How pathetic! Perhaps you don’t know that Augustus and Felicity are engaged. It’s hopeless. As part of the family, they will never be the ones to choose who they will love. Only blue blood is worthy of Augustus, and that is not you, who is just an ordinary woman.” I clenched my fist. I know. Why do you ha

It was morning when I found out this place was surrounded by the Sierra Madre. Without the storms, this mountain seems to be silent. I was sitting on the wooden bridge while waiting for the prince because he said he forgot to bring something. Just a moment later, the prince was back, running towards me, holding a big blanket in his hand. I was already wearing his oversized sweater, so I wondered why he was still carrying a blanket. He wrapped it around my head, covering my eyes and rendering me blind. I took it off; the first thing I saw was him standing on the boat, his hand reaching out to me. I gave him my hand to help me hop in. He made me sit down first. “To keep you warm," then took the blanket from me and wrapped it around my body. “My sweater is not enough to protect you from the cold." He took the paddle that was inside the boat and rowed it himself. The sound of the water and the chirping of the birds seemed to be singing to my ears at the same time, gradually calming my t

The time passed so quickly. Two days here with Augustus may seem short, but the days I had with him were so magical that they filled my heart with happiness, which was already enough. That's the most time I've spent with him since he was introduced to take the throne. I'll forever treasure this moment with him. I was wandering around before we finally left this place, asking myself, will I be able to be back here in the future? He was waving his hand in the air, signaling to me that it was time to leave the place. My face may seem so pleased, but inside I was preparing to say goodbye to him. "Don't worry, we'll be back here soon," he said coyly. "Hmm-mm," I said, nodding. My heart was on fire, as if it would soon be consumed. None of what the prince said would come true because I lied for the entire two days. I was guilty but was more broken. Augustus couldn’t take his hand off mine while he was driving back to Manila as if he had predicted that I was planning to leave. I awoke n
