Key

                          
I couldn't explain this overwhelming feeling. From our carriage slow entrance inside the empire, greetings from the wonderful symbolisms of Gazellians, the warm welcome from Prince Zen and his daughter, the sincere smile from the goddess from the mirror, their warm eyes, Queen Talisha's presence that made my heart leap with heated my tears, and lastly the greatness of their King. 
                          
It was not about Evan's request, but it was all about the King's highly deserve respect that my own head bowed for him. My knees were shaking, my heart continued to hammer rapidly on my chest, my hands clasped together, and my lips were damn trembling. 
                          
I couldn't even look on his shadows!
                          
Another batch of tears filled my eyes, the realization dawned upon me. This was not longer my world, a world that didn't even cross my mind on my years of noises, lights and parties, I was a wild woman who cared less other than my family but having this kind of family with their warmest welcome--Insecurities started to hover all over me. Did I deserve this?
                          
I made Evan's goals slow, I was his failure, I was his threat for his promises and he even sacrificed his own safeness for me who did naught but her bad blood! 
                          
Tama ba itong ginawa ni Evan? I will bring chaos this his family!
                          
"Put me down, my king. I should bow my head too!" I heard Divina's voice. Prince Zen cursed in his breath that moment he saw his daughter on the King's arms. 
                          
The Gazellians straightened themselves, tanging si Reyna Talisha lamang ang hindi yumuko sa kanyang anak. 
                          
"Divina, come here." Ibinaba ni Haring Dastan si Divina. He gave her a small smile before his eyes bore on my mine. 
                          
"I think you startled her, she looked uncomfortable." Kumento nang hari habang marahan na itong humahakbang patungo sa akin.  
                          
"It's not us, my king. It is your presence," Harper answered. Most the royalties inside nodded in agreement. 
                          
"This scene, he's not even handsome.." Rosh murmured from the corner of the room, and immediately sent both of his hands on air when the Gazellians, except Dastan sneered on him. 
                          
"Oh, Prince Rosh! You're still here!" regret registered on Prince Rosh's face when Divina started to walk closer to him. 
                          
Tuluyan nang nawala ang atensyon ko sa lahat nang nakapaligid sa amin nang sandaling tuluyan nang makalapit sa akin ang tinitingalang hari ng lahat. The room went utterly silent and all I could was his powerful presence, just like Evan's amazing stories about him. 
                          
"Even the most influential royalties would never dare disregard my king's presence, and I am very much willing to have their head on air when they tried to. They should bow to my king, they should respect my brother. Ah, how I missed his damn rolling eyes." 
                          
"M-My king-" I stuttered, when I tried to give him another bow, he immediately caught my right hand. Just like Prince Zen, he brought the back of my hand on his lips with his slight bent body while his other hand on his back. 
                          
"A pleasure to meet my brother's unlucky mate, Dastan-" his siblings interjected him. 
                          
"King," King Dastan cleared his throat. 
                          
"King Dastan Lancelot Gazellian, King of Parsua Sartorias. My apologies for my brothers and sister's behavior." No words came out from my mouth, and all I could I was to just stare at him. Utterly amazed! 
                          
Evan is deliciously hot! Rosh is a charming prince! Prince Zen is radiating handsome! But King Dastan, h-he's more than oppa!
                          
I heard chuckles, a second later.
