NIOA 6

6.

"By the way, I'm Ms. Maisie Griffin but you can call me Ms. Maisie, Aleah. I don't like too much formality." tumango ako ng tumingin siya sa akin. Ngumiti naman siya at nag umpisa ng magsalita.

"Their are two kingdoms of Magic. The White Kingdom and the Black Kingdom. They are the one who maintain the peace and rule the whole Magic World. Sila ang nagpapanatili sa mga tao dito na gamitin ang mahika sa tamang paraan." I was staring at her as she walked back and forth. "But that was long long ago. Mga panahong magkasundo pa ang White and Black Kingdom. The situation right now is far different from before."

How? Different in what way?

"Alam kung lahat kayo maliban kay Aleah, dito na lumaki at tumira. So I assumed that all of you knows why it's different. But because of Aleah, sasabihin ko ulit ito so please listen carefully." she said then looked at me. I rolled my eyes mentally. Bat ba kasi ako nakikinig? Pakialam ko naman sa history ng lugar na 'to?!

"Queen Isabelle Myers and King Alvin Grey are the founders of Nexons Institute of Arcanes and at the same time, the former King and Queen of White Kingdom. This school was build 24 years ago, when Isabelle's pregnant. They build this school for the future of their only daughter. But sadly, something really bad happened after three years when this school was build."

Nagtaasan ang mga balahibo ko sa sinabi niya. Are they the one that I saw a while ago, when I first enter this school?

The statue of the woman and the man bowing their heads while holding each other's hands?

I raised my hand. "Is King Alvin, husband of Queen Isabelle?" tanong ko. Napatingin siya sakin saglit bago tumingin sa kawalan. Then she smiled. "Yes."

Ang ganda ng ngiti niya pero may nakasilip na lungkot doon. "I still remember how sweet they are to each other. When I was a child, sila ang pinaka favorite ko na couple sa buong Magic World. It's funny how the world works and what love can do."

She stopped for a second. "Bata pa lang silang dalawa ng mag away ang dalawang kingdom ng Magic World. White and Black Kingdom becomes rival and starts to hate each other. Black Kingdom planned to conquer the White Kingdom and tried so many times to attack. And because White Kingdom is in the good side, sinubukan nilang lumaban ng walang nasasaktan."

"Queen Isabelle was just 16 years old that time while King Alvin was 18. And the funny thing is, their family both control the two different kingdoms, means they are the heir and the heiress of White and Black Kingdom."

"Sumugod ang Black Kingdom sa White Kingdom and they bumped to each other, accidentally. Queen Isabelle knew immediately that King Alvin was the heir of White Kingdom, that's why she attacked him. But King Alvin didn't fight her. He fall in love with her instatly. Na love at first sight si King Alvin kay Queen Isabelle -"

"How ironic because Queen Isabelle almost killed King Alvin that time. Tumigil lang ito sa pag atake ng napansin niyang hindi ito lumalaban. Then she left without speaking any words."

She stopped, smiled and stared at me before continuing.

"That's how Queen Isabelle and King Alvin meet."
