Kissing The Wind Chapter 36
"I bought you a dress." I stopped chewing and looked at him. He was busy on his plate but I noticed his occasional glance on me. When our eyes met, I knitted my brows. "Dress?" "For prom." He reached for the glass of water and took a sip before facing me. "Next week. I bought a dress for you." I looked on my plate and my cheeks felt hot. I thought he would reprimand me for ignoring him in school ground but I did not know that he wanted to talk about a dress. And I was still thinking about Rogie's appearance in prom. I kind of reluctant to go since he is coming and maybe Lisa too. "What are you thinking?" Anthony asked. I shrugged my shoulders. "About the dress, I have money." He just grinned and said nothing. We spent the next minutes eating and thinking of our own affairs. But I noticed how knitted Anthony's brows were. I cleared my throat. "What's wrong?" I asked. He looked at me and then shook his head. "Nothing." He resumed eating. I looked on my plate and finished the food

Third POVNot long after, the party started. There were a lot of activities but unlike Isa who actively participated, Sydnee just sat on the corner while silently watching the ongoing activities. Her eyes squinted when she saw how Isa accidentally kissed her guy partner when the latter tried to lift Isa.She bit her lip to prevent herself from laughing. Isa had her brows furrowed and her eyes frequently throw daggers to the guy who held her. When the contest was over, Isa and her partner did not win which made Isa frustrated. When the guy realized how bad the girl's temper was, he immediately fled to the crowd.Sydnee's lips curved into a sweet smile when she saw Isa walking back to her direction. Then she looked around again. Anthony was still nowhere to be seen."That bastard!" Isa cursed under her breath then looked at her. "You should participate!"She shook her head. "Sit down and watch them play games."Isa snorted th

A deafening silence echoed in the sorrounding. It made Sydnee's breath hitched. She swallowed hard and waited for Anthony to speak but the latter did not show any emotion. He just stood there, silently watching her. "Umm..." She looked away and tried to ease the uncomfortable feeling in her chest. "I-I like you. Don't misunderstand that. I just want to say ---" "Sydnee," Anthony stopped her then he looked away, just like she did. "It's cold. Let's get inside." She spent a few seconds before she look at Anthony. The latter was looking at the black horizon in the distance. Sydnee lowered her head. "I want to go home." Sighing, she turned and took a step towards the parking lot. She knew it. Anthony was not into her. And why should he be? Sydnee swallowed hard, blinking away the tears brimming in her eyes. There was a pang in her chest but she ignored it. She knew that she and Anthony would not... Footsteps were heard in the cold night and leaves were rustling around her. She knew t

But she had decided and she would not put any more pressure on Anthony. Maybe, he would come back to his hometown soon after she leave. She curved her lips into a faint smile and then turned towards the entrance. Her foot took a step forward, then another, and then she was completely out of the gate. The sun was high in the clouds but the wind was cool, blowing into her, touching her skin. She walked back home.It was only three in the afternoon when she stopped walking forward. A few meters away from her, she saw the small nipa hut which seemed familiar yet unfamiliar to her. It was months since she last saw the hut and seeing it again, she could not describe her feelings. She breathed deeply and then continued taking steps forward. She had been walking under the sun for nearly five hours and occasionally stopped at waiting sheds to drink water she bought at the store and to shed from the sun. When it come to perseverance, she stood in the rank. She was used walking to where she

Sydnee pushed the table to hinder the woman from approaching her. She turned around and ran her way out of the house. Frustrated screams could be heard from inside the hut but she did not mind it at all. The good thing was that she still have her backpack which contain all her important things. Now, she needed to find shelter and to ask for help. But she did not know where to ask for help. She spent nearly an hour running away from home before she slowly stopped. She bend and put her hands on her knees, panting hard. Her back was drench in sweat and beads of sweat accumulate in her forehead. A few minutes later, she stood straight and looked around. She was standing in sidewalk and occasional cars were seen passing by the highway. Her forehead creased. She was not familiar with the street. Where was she? She looked sideways and the afternoon glow of the sun shone on her face. She squinted her eyes and turned back. A car was seen parking two meters away from her. The backseat window

She blew a breathe and shook her head, trying to erase the heaviness in her chest. The sun had set on the west and darkness slowly engulfed the sorrounding. The driver invited her to the car, and although she was skeptical, she still followed along. It felt surreal yet she had no choice.IT WAS noon when Anthony opened his eyes. There was a faint noises in the neighborhood and the wind was blowing in and out of the window. He sat up and looked at the clock on the bedside table. Then he got up and took a bath. When he walked out of his room, the landline rang. He went back to his room to answer the call. "Anthony, come back home. His Royal Highess wants you and your dad's presence in the banquet." There was a pause between him and his mother. Then he sighed. "I'll go." His voice was hoarse. "What? Are you still asleep?" "Nay." He looked on the window. He heard his mother sighed on the other line. "Your time is up. You should resign in that academy. Now that the king wants you to

It is not a secret that rulers live in a seclusive area. It is an area that was built since the ancient monarchical era of the country. There, a broken castle was still standing against the test of time and one mile from it is where the mansion of Duke Theodore was built. Duke Theodore is the duke of Obando, a state next to Consolacion, the state of Anthony's father. And standing before the enormous mansion made Sydnee felt powerless and small. It was already evening when they arrived and the maid informed Duke Theodore that Lady Geneva and Catarina had gone to Consolacion half an hour ago. The two was invited for a dinner in Duke of Consolacion's house. Sydnee wondered if Anthony also attended the said dinner. She knew little of the rulers' life so she just kept her mouth shut and silently roamed her eyes around the huge mansion. The luxury inside was a clear distinction of how the worlds of rulers and commoners were apart. It was not the kind of luxury her father had when they ha

"It's alright, Miss Sydnee. Duke Theodore originally planned to visit the broken palace today. Bringing you along is nothing." Although she was skeptical of the idea, she did not want to let the duke down. So Sydnee nodded. And the sun shone brightly in the east while a group of people inside the horse carriage slowly made their way towards the fallen palace. She saw the broken palace at the distance and she did not expect it to be enormous when she stood right in front of the old and rusty palace gates. Although it was ruined, it did not hinder the majestic look of it. Duke Theodore and his entourage had stepped inside the gates so she followed after the group. It took them a few minutes before they entered the broken palace. "Say, Duke, the Lady Geneva will arrive the next day. Do you want me to arrange everything for Miss Sydnee?" asked the butler walking beside the duke. Sydnee caught a glimpse of the duke's back, who was walking ahead of her, before averting her eyes to the

Three years later...Sydnee frowned when she saw Nikolai dressed like a hooligan. The small body was covered by a thin black silk that was a gift from the Crown Prince. After Anthony went back from the convention, he brought great news that the two kingdoms had decided to end the war and signed a bilateral agreement. It was all due to Anthony's strength in persuassion. The king then asked what Anthony wanted as a reward, and being a sly man, he asked the King to grant him Sydnee as his wife. In the same day, Sydnee received an edict about her marriage with Anthony. Duke Theodore was not as surprised as she was because the duke had a bet with Anthony, that if Anthony would bring good news from the convention, then the duke would not obstruct his plan to marry Sydnee.A year after she was married off to Anthony's household, Sydnee bore him a son who had a great resemblance with Anthony. This called for a celebration. Since then, when Nikolai would celebrate his birthday, the maids wo

The group of criminals who had ran away went inside a shabby inn. They were running like a madman without stopping for the fear that the guards would catch up with them.It was also the place that the group agreed to meet with the lider of the spies in that night. The assassin looked around and only the old woman who was busy playing with the abacus was present inside the inn. "Hey, old woman!" the assassin yelled. "Give us something to drink!"The old woman paused and brought out a tray of cold drinks from the bottom of the counter. "Here. Twenty cents."The assassin brought out twenty cents and distributed the cold drinks on to his companions. He then motioned the one who was near to the door to check outside. After a few minutes, the man came back and shook his head. The assassin grinned. Those slow royal guards could not catch up with them? Hah. What lame guards!They planned to spend the night inside the shabby inn. The group just sprawled on the floor, wearied by the things th

The moon was big and round. It shone so bright that the stars could not be seen in the night sky. The night breeze caressed her skin. Sydnee closed her eyes and smiled. The translucent moonlight shone on her blue dress and the tiny crystals shone when the moonlight touched them. In the middle of the night, Sydnee was like a fairy who descended into the world. It was the scene that Anthony saw after he followed the girl. He was glad that Sydnee was granted another title, but he was unhappy to see her dancing with men. He wanted to also dance with her, but he was being watched by both the crown prince and the second prince. He did not want to implicate Sydnee. His foot stopped a meter away from the shining girl under the moonlight. He drew a breathe and called out her name. "Sydnee."When she heard Anthony's voice, Sydnee opened her eyes and looked at the man standing before her in a daze. The moonlight shone on his suit and his eyes emitted a gentle brown light. She smiled and walk

"What did you say, Mom?" Catarina faced Lady Geneva and gaped her mouth in shock. "Did you just say that Dad would make this trash the heiress of the dukedom?!"Lady Geneva hushed Catarina. They were still inside the hall and the place was full of aristocrats and officials alike. It was the day that Duke Theodore would announce his heiress. The royals were also present. "Keep your voice down!" Lady Geneva sighed. "We can't stop your father in his decision. Let's just accept it dear, okay?" Lady Geneva coaxed and placed her hands in Catarina's shoulder."No!" Catarina broke away from the Lady's grasped. "I can't accept it! Mom, I was with Dad all these years! I studied how to become a good duchess, but... but that trash take my inheritance away!""Catarina!" Lady Geneva said and dragged the girl onto the corner where no one was around. "Just let this event go in peace. We can deal with Sydnee later, okay?"Looking into the resolute gaze of Lady Geneva, Catarina finally calmed down.

The king sitting on his throne smiled at Sydnee. "Raise your head," he said. Sydnee raised her head while she maintained her gaze on the floor. She was taught not to meet the gaze of the king as a subject. "Your daughter is indeed a beauty.""Thank you, My King."Sydnee tried hard not to pursed her lips nor to look at the Duke who was standing beside her. She thought that the Duke did not let anyone know that he could talk, except for his confidante. But it turned out that the king knew that truth all this time.It was good that only the King and the eunuch by his side was present in the throne room excluding the two of them. At least the information that Duke Theodore could talk was still a secret. It was nice not to invite unneccessary trouble on the household. After some time, the king granted Sydnee a tutor for both etiquette and education. She lowered her head and thanked the king, although she was indignant with the tutor of etiquette. Did the king think that she still neede

The copy of the video spread across the capital. The eldest miss of the Baronness who were active in spreading rumors about Sydnee paled when she checked the video that circulated overnight. It was her being tangled with the guard last year. Who recorded this video? The eldest miss immediately summoned her maids and talked with her mother. She and Baroness Jenica went into the third prince's manor to ask for help. Meanwhile, in the fifth's prince manor, the maid who picked up the memory card while buying something in the market yesterday was laughing with the other maids. They were maiden commoners who had not seen a naked man and they were fascinated with the 'good' body of the man in the video, They of course, did not know who was the two people doing it in that video, but they enjoyed watching it. It spread in the whole manor and outside of the manor. The fifth prince who were stationed in the border did not know about this thing.When the third prince's lackeys investigated the

After the commotion in the terrace, although no one talked about it during the rest of the meeting ball, Sydnee knew that she was the center of gossip in the nobles' private chats. She could feel gazes from everyone thus she left the hall earlier. "You haven't enjoyed the party yet," Aleksander said while playing with the wine glass in his hand. Sydnee huffed and looked at the man. "Don't follow me. Go back and enjoy the party.""Ah, a pity. I couldn't enjoy it without you." Then he winked at her. Anthony, who was walking beside Sydnee frowned and looked at Aleksander who was on the other side of Sydnee. "Go back, Tamarin."Aleksander gaped, feigning shock while staring at Anthony. "You know me?" "Stop pestering Sydnee."Aleksander put his free hand on his chest and looked at Sydnee sadly. "My beloved Sydnee, I'll go back. The man beside you is dangerous and I couldn't win against him ---"Before Aleksander finished his words, Anthony took hold of his shoulder and threw him back

Aleksander led Sydnee in the corner where there was no one. Sydnee then pull away her hand from his hold. "What do you want?" she huffed. The man looked down on her and grinned again. What on earth did he want with her? Sydnee frowned. "It looks like the duke's favor is on you, huh?" he said. "So?""Be careful with the people around you. You never knew who is secretly watching you."Before Sydnee could utter a word, a man stood beside her. She was startled. She did not notice how the man got close to her. It was surprising because Sydnee was trained to notice every movement in her sorroundings under the duke's command, that's why there was no one who could get past her defense, and this is also the reason why Sydnee could counter attack Catarina in every petty tricks. "Sydnee," the man called. Her eyes widened when she recognized the voice. It was Anthony. Sydnee tipped her head back to look at him and her breathe hitched when their eyes met. Anthony smiled at her. "What are you
Kissing The Wind Chapter 60
The ride towards the capital was peaceful. Catarina did not throw tantrums like she would usually do. Lady Geneva did try to pick on her. Sydnee was glad because of silence. She looked outside the window and watched as their car drove past other vehicles and establishments. It was her first time to visit the capital and she was nervous yet excited at the same time. The duke had asked her to do her best to appear humble and dignified in front of the officials. Of course she knew why. She would be the center of biggest power fractions in the capital and the duke had also warned her about the royals who would set eyes on her. When they arrived at the capital, Sydnee was left in awe while watching outside the window. The teritories like Consolacion and Obando were nothing like the capital. The place was full of buildings that were so high, one could like at the sky to spot the end of the buildings. There were also a lot of people wearing revealing shirts and there was no distinction bet
