I am secretly a Princess (Royal Series #1)

Capitolo Trentotto

I took another shower and ate something decent, just to fill my stomach. After which, I decided to go to bed since I really don't have anything to do anymore. Sleep was overtaking my body until I heard my phone beep-ed

I sighed as I reached out for my phone. I pressed the numbers to unlock it and I was surprised by the number of messages I have gotten

150 messages from people at the University

They all said their thanks, some congratulatory messages, we'll miss you messages and many more. My heart melt at the sight of that. I did not even know that people would remember me like this. I sent each one of them a thank you message before I went to bed

I am truly grateful despite everything that happened

I opened my eyes before the sun came out so I decided to just sit  at the balcony and watch the peaceful scenery for the last time. I know it would take a while before I go back here. I just here until alam ko na gising na ang lahat. I went downstairs and I was greeted by Mary

"Good morning princess" she greeted and placed a plate full of english breakfast in front of me

"Good morning. Where's Lucia and Mike?" I asked while I eat

She sat and said, "They will be back. They took your clothes that you placed outside your room to charity"

"Oh, they did? Thank you" I said and continued eating

"No problem princess" she replied

"Princess, may I ask you something?" Mary said

I drank the milk after I finished eating,  "Of course, what is it?"

"Are you ready to go back?" she asked and it made me silent

Am I really ready to go back to my kingdom and serve my people? Am I stronger than before? Can I handle it?

I gave her a smile, "Yes, I am" as she smiled back, "I'm glad to hear that princess"

I stood up,"I'll just go and prepare Mary" and she gave me a nod, "Sure princess. Our flight will be in an hour"

I went back to my room, took a shower and get dressed. I and outfit that will not standout aka a simple shirt and pants with a cap that will hide my standout hair. I did not bother to put on some make up because I don't really need it. It took me almost an hour to prepare and so after I finished, I came down stairs. I found the three of them waiting for me with warm smiles on their faces

I stop at my tracks and did not hesitate to give them a curtsy. I look up, gave them a smile and said the words that I really really want them to know, "Thank you for taking care of me. I wouldn't be me today without the help of you guys. I apologize if I dragged all of you in this rocky journey but still, I am grateful for all of your hard work. In exchange, I will gladly promote your ranks when we go back"

After what I said, silence engulf us. I was getting worried that they might have found that a little lackluster or I might have looked weird but all those thoughts vanished when Mary spoke up, "Can I hug you princess?"

I gave her a nod as an answer and all of a sudden, their arms circled around me and then let go after a second.  "Thank you princess for trusting us. We are also honored to be part of your journey and we are more than grateful to receive such gift from you" Mike said

"Thank you Your Highness for your kindness" Lucia said

"We have been discussing this for awhile and we decided that we will gladly serve you in any means and give our loyalty until the day we die, Your Highness" Mary said
