MAFIA QUEEN GOT REINCARNATED TO A WEAK PRINCESS (ON-GOING)

Chapter 23

Masquerade

"I'll be your date,Is that fine for you baby?" Agad nag-uminit yung magkabila kong pisngi.

Pinalubo ko ang bibig at pinaypayan ang sarili.Nakita kong tinaasan ako ng kilay ni Wayne.Hindi ko na kasi mapigilan ang kilig na nararamdaman kaya iniwas ko ang aking tingin mula kay Ice.

Inipit ko ang aking buhok sa aking tenga,"Well,since you don't have a date as then...yes."

I heared him shifted at his seat and chuckled.Sumulyap ako sa kaniya at nakitang kinakagat nito ang mapupulang labi.

"What color did you pick on your dress?" Agad nawala ang multo ng pagngisi niya kanina at napalitan nang seryosong mukha.

Color of my dress?? Now to think of that,hindi ko pa iyan naisip dahil maraming bumagabag sa isip ko.Since black naman ang theme yun na rin ang pipiliin ko.

"It's maybe color black,why?" Tanong ko rin sa kaniya pabalik.Because why not nga diba??

"Nothing.." it was the last words I heard from him after that.

Hindi na rin kami nagkita dahil abala ang lahat sa nararating na banquet.The famous hair and make up artist arrive at my room the night when the masquerade starts.Isang malaking sets ng mga ball gowns ang ipinasok sa aking silid.

Napanganga ako dahil sa pagkamangha,until now hindi parin ako makapaniwala na nag-reincarnate ako bilang isang prinsesa dito sa kaharian.I don't actually know kung ano na talaga ang nangyari sa katawan ko.Is the true owner alive and kicking? Is her soul is stuck at my body too just like me?

"Oh darling,I brought you many dresses to pick yourself.I don't know what you want the most so.." Ang Inang Reyna.

Simula noong pagkagising ko,lagi nalang itong alerto sa aking mga galaw.Everytime I would go out to meet the girls,lagi siyang nasa gilid nakaabang.Thanks to the King,he made reasons to make his wife personally believe that her daughter was busy practicing the royals' dance.

"It's too much Mother,I think." I gasp at surprisement.Sobrang-sobra talaga ito.How can I pick when it has so many kinds of beautiful styles.

She grinned widely at me,probably happy at my reaction."Pick the most beautiful one,okay? Gusto kong ang lahat ng attention ngayong gabi ay nasa iyo.Understand?"

The disapproval look at my face dissapeared.Hindi ko siya Ina at sa tingin ko,kung ang totoong Zhaylene ang narito ay susundin nito ang gusto ng Ina.

She didn't wait for my reply and called someone to assist me.I already pick the most comfortable but agaw pansin na dress.The Queen wants the bonga one.

Tatakbo pa ako ng malayo ngayon kaya dapat yung susuotin ko ay yung maluwag lang at hindi mabigat.I don't want to be disturbed just because of the dress.Suminyas ako sa maid na lagi ko pa man kasa-kasama mula noong nagkamalay na ako dito.

"Are you done with your task that I gave?" Itinaas ko ang kilay.

Yumuko ito at tumango."As what your highness ordered,I have notified the guards that are checking the invitation cards to let our ladys' friends."

"You may go back.And please,don't tell mother about this." Satisfied and happy with the results I made my way towards the tall windows and leaned at it.
