18 WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?

"Celestina, what happened?" I can't open my mouth to say something. I'm just staring blankly at the big window in front of my bed. Unable to utter some words. After that incident earlier, a guard quickly come to us and whispered words in Lianno's ears that made us go back to the palace.

We parted ways while going back. I'm not sure where they are going but I heard that they will be heading in the North part.

"Hey Celestina" I looked at Isabela who is bored looking at me now.

"Hmmm?" I answered.

"What happened?" Her voice lingering with carefulness, and worried can be seen through her face.

"Nothing" My words almost become a whisper. I heard her sighed, she nodded and left me there sitting.

What the hell am I thinking earlier? I should have controlled myself. We almost kissed! And it's not good for both of us. What about the girl whom she is with? What will he possibly think of me now?

I look at the door where Isabela left. Is it the right decision to let her leave? I'm left alone now and it's my fault again, I sighed. Maybe I should continue my painting, that's a better idea I guess. I picked up the essentials that will be needed in my painting. The canvas that I painted in the past days is on the side of my bed.

I'm thinking about putting an extra dolphin, There should only be 2 but I'm planning to make it like the three of us, Me, Isabela, and Jea. I smiled, I should give this to them once I finished it.

There's nothing left to do here now than to put the dolphins in the middle. I successfully created the two dolphins but the third one seems off to me. It looks different than the other two that I created. But it still looks pretty though.

"Celestina, can we go in now?" I heard a knock outside my room.

"Wait a minute!" I shouted so loud so they can hear me. I look closely at the painting and do some final touches. I smiled in excitement as I took steps towards the door holding the painting.

I opened the door with a huge smile on my face. The first thing that I saw is their shock faces. My bad mood earlier is now gone. I guess painting can help me in calming myself down.

I let them in the room without showing them the painting that I'm holding.

"Why are you suddenly happy, Celestina?" I looked at Jea who is plastering a confused look in her face.

"I have a present for you guys," I said to them as I slowly showed them the painting that I made.

"Wow! This looks awesome, Celestina!" I smiled widely at what Isabela said. Jea's face is priceless, Her mouth is wide open and her eyes are bulging out.

"Is this ours?!" I laughed at Jea's late reaction but she's cute though.

They gladly accept my present for them. I'm so happy that they appreciated that kind of gift. That's my way of showing my appreciation to them. They work so hard and it's good for them to rest in a while. So I'm planning to make this day their rest day.

"Isabela, Jea, I have something to say…" They both look at me, wondering what will I say to them.

"When is your rest day?" I asked them. They both look at me funny.

"We don't do that here, Celestina" They both laugh at me. I rolled my eyes at them. And take a sit at my bed.

"You will obey all of my orders right?" They quickly adjusted their posture and nodded their head.

I smirked "then you should obey me" I evilly laughed in my mind

"Then we should…REST!" They both look dumbfounded.

I asked the maid who accompanied me home earlier to bring me some things that I will be needing.

"Miss Celestina, the things you asked me to bring earlier is now in here" I nodded and smile at the maid.

The maid brought 3 pairs of pajamas, and foods to munch in. I gave them the 2 pajamas and ask them to change clothes. They look so cute wearing it. It's a matching pajama for the three of us. They look so uncomfortable wearing one that I laughed so hard.

"Are you two, okay?" I asked them, forcing myself not to laugh, But I failed when they look at me and shook their heads.

They glared at me.

"Let's eat some food first," I told them.

We munch on the food that the maid served us. It's just a classic salad and some chips.

"You know what, Celestina? I have a friend in the past that is always taking a dump" Isabela said

The three of us laughed so loudly. They are telling some funny childhood stories.

"How about you, Celestina?" Jea asked me.

I sadly smiled at them and shake my head.

"I don't have any funny childhood stories to tell you guys. I'm so sorry" I apologized to them. I feel like I'm ruining the happy mood that we have right now because I don't have any stories to tell them.

"Don't be sad now, Celestina. We can create new moments from now on" Isabela hugged me from the back as Jea hugged me from the side.

"I have a great Idea, Celestina" Jea is wiggling her brows and is smirking widely.

"What is it?" She smiled widely at me.

"Let's go to the garden," She said. I looked at Isabela who is smiling widely at me.

"Wearing this?" Isabela asks at us.

"Of course" I stood up and jump in joy.

We managed to go downstairs, but Isabela asked us to wait at the main living room because she wants to go in the comfort room.

We are waiting patiently in the living room when the guards and the maid starts to panic. The guards came rushing towards the door while the maid is busy preparing something.

What I saw completely shocked me the most. In there I saw Lianno bleeding while two guards are assisting him.

What happened to him?
