The Royal Proposal 20
Everyone is busy on the kitchen and on decorating. Athena and other ladies are decorating the cake that she baked for her daughter while Ares is putting dozens of gifts on her room with other boys. Prince is eating his breakfast food so that he won't disturb Gia's sleep. Edmond is walking back and forth in the room of boys.
"Don't you mind of chilling out?" Stephen asked.
"I can't chill now, it's tonight and I don't know what to do." He said getting frenzied.
Stephen and Miles dropped their body on the bed studying Edmond's body language and expression.
"But you rehears right?" they asked. "You had planned proposing to her, right?"
"Yes, I did. I've been planning it for years and how to do it. But, you don't understand!" he turn his back from them.
"We don't understand why you acted so anxious because of the proposal. You need to be cool in front of Gia or she will laugh at you." they told. Edmond turn his back to them.
"You are right!" he snapped. The twin makes a long way of secret handshake by tossing their palm smacking and fist bumped and whatsoever they are doing.
They had gathered to her room with a cake that Athena baked and some champagne and other things that is needed to surprise a person. Athena grabbed Edmond and she let him hold the cake for her. Prince start barking at her and licking her face until she moans, brow furrows and she open her eyes. They blow hornpipes and some popping sounds and glitters showers on her.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Gia... happy birthday to you." they sang it fast and repeat it two times.
She was puzzled to all of them. She snorted and lie back to bed. Her body is in pain because of the game they played yesterday. Alex and Victoria jumped to bed and they started pulling her up kissing her and cuddling her. She shrieks and they all laughs in happiness.
"Why are you all here?" she asked irritated.
"It's your birthday and we surprise you, dah..." Victoria rolled her eyes. She smiles and looked at her Mum and Dad. They sat beside her and kissed her.
"Blow your cake candle now." Ares told. "Your Mum and Aunties baked it for you." he said enthusiastically. Edmond went closer to her and he move the cake in front of her. She looked at Edmond which he just smiled.
"Make a wish before you blow it." He said. She just stares at him impassively and she blows the candle without hesitation. "What's your wish?" he asked.
She shrugged her shoulder. Stephen and Miles throw the icing that is on the paper plate on Alex's and Victoria's face and Gia had covered her face before they got a hit on her. The two frowned at the twin and the twin laughs. They laugh and everyone is throwing icing on their faces.
Prince started licking Victoria's face which is coated in icing. Gia lie down covering the duvet over her face, and they all went out throwing icing on each other's and playing around. Athena took the cake from Edmond and Edmond just shrugged. He looked at Gia who is trying to sleep again.
"Hey, Princess, get up now. There are a lot of things that we have to do including you with the girls in the spa."
"I'm not in mood." She moans. "My body is in pain and I need more sleep." Edmond jumped over her bed and he pulls the duvet. Her hair is a bit messy and she had open her eyes just to see him in front of her kneeling between her legs.
"C'mon, you have to get up now." She sat up lazily and she drops her body at left side of the bed. Her face is hanging at the side and her left hand too. He pulls her up and a paper plate of an icing had land on his face that makes him close his eyes. She laughs and laughs. Edmond removed the plate and he strokes his hands on his eyes that are covering by the icing. He licked his lips and the sweet taste of the icing makes him smirk.
"Very funny, Princess." He gritted.
He washed his face by his palm and he wiped it on her face that makes her shrieks. She pushed him and he laugh out loud. Never in his life he laugh that loud. She gets another icing from the floor that the twin had left for her and she pressed it on his face. She jumped off from bed and runs out her room.
"Gia!" Edmond removed the icing that covers his face and he runs after her.
They are at the patio for the morning meal and some are still running and throwing some icing. Gia grabbed a table napkin and she wiped it on her face while Edmond is running to her. She runs to her father's back and make him a human shield. Edmond stopped and Ares raise his eyebrows.
Gia giggles and she stopped when Ares put an icing on her face. She grimaced at him and Ares laughs.
"I love you baby."
"I'm not a baby Dad!" she said childishly. Edmond laughs and Ares pushed her to Edmond.
"Okay, help on the grill both of you." Ares commands. Edmond salutes on him and he put his arms around her while she is wiping her face.
"You see, everyone here are busy and happy because of this day. So don't grimace and let's just enjoy every single time." He told. She smirked and she pushed him on the pool that is near on the grilling stand. Stephen and Miles cheers and clapped their hands.
They went back to the resort for the spa time for hours. The girls are in one spa room while the boys are at the other room doing the same. Gia is sleeping while the therapist are massaging her and putting some herbal on her face and a cucumber on her eyes. The other girls are talking about boys and their boyfriends also about their school which is the Detective Intelligence Academy. Some of the family members are not studying in DIA because they had preferred to stay in business and enterprising. DIA is a school for spies and to become a police even an army and a great detective. Gia's parents did not give her a chance to enter in the DIA. It is because of her syndrome, narcolepsy and heart conflicts.
"I am so excited tonight." Stephanie said while the manicurist is cleaning her pretty nails.
"Yeah, the party will go awesome; I can't wait for the games." Victoria said in full of excitement and energy and she even makes a tiny sound of shrieks.
Reina is busy on her phone while the cosmetician is cleaning her toe nails. She is chatting with Lester and she was so cold on him. His sweetness makes her heart jump but she hates his hopeless romantic words though it makes her face reddish like tomato.
"Reina, what do you think about the colors?" Stephanie asked raising the pink one and the red one. Reina glanced at her.
"I go to burgundy not that bloody red." She told. Stephanie twisted her lips and she thinks she's right.
"Good choice." Stephanie said.
"Lester is with Alex, right?" Lian asked. She is Lester's older sister and she felt a sudden awkwardness between them.
"He is. They are on the spa playing cards." Reina told. Lian smiles wide thinking about her boyfriend.
The biggest accommodation rooms in the resort is where the girls are and they are chatting and busy on their gowns and make ups. Gia is lying on the king bed staring at the ceiling.
"I hope you don't feel so down because it's your 18th birthday." Reina interrupts.
"I am so glad that I am 18, finally I can manage to build the city. At least I am near on the DIA, right?"
"Yes, that city is very genius of you. You expand the land to the water which is made into nuclear trashes and plastic trashes."
"Yes, I got the idea of plastic trashes from Japanese air land. That was so creative and everything of them but I still manage to make it more eco-friendly." she sighed in grief.
"Why are you in grief, Gia?" she asked. Gia shook her head.
"I don't even know."
"Okay, we will just get ready and you need too." Reina stood.
"Lester told Edmond to hold me last night; it only means that you two make love. Am I right?" she asked still staring at the ceiling.
"I am afraid to lose somebody because of that fucking curse. I can't stay away from him because it makes me more devastated. I think I love him and it's hard for me to leave him. He's my soul-mate."
"Yeah, that's too complicated to think but I am just asking if you do it last night with him." She frowns. Reina laughs and flushes. Gia giggles and she pointed her finger on her. "Busted!"
"You will understand the magnetic desire between opposite sex, dear."
"Whatever," she rolled her eyes waving her hand to shoo her. "I will just rest for a while, my body is still aching." She sighed in grief.
"Yeah, just drink your juice and you'll be fine." She told.
The people are preparing on the ball hall while she is at the balcony just letting the cold breeze of the sea brushed on her face and on her hair. She looked at the door and she can see a shadow of feet walking back and forth on the front door. She walked to the door bare feet and she opens the door that makes the person startles.
"You gave me heart attack!"
"You gave me heart attack!" Gia mocked at him on his accent. "What are you doing here?" she asked folding her arms. He looked at her from head to toe. She is only wearing a silk robe and she is not wearing any slippers.
"Why are you not yet dressed up, and no make-up?" he asked. She looked at him from head to toe too.
"Why you not yet dressed up, no masked?" she mocked. He rolled his eyes. "You see I am not in a good mood right now, why won't you just dress up and go get ready for the party?"
"You see I am not in a good mood right now too, why won't you just dress up and get ready for your own party." He mocks back. She raises an eyebrow. "Gia, I—" he sighed exasperatedly. He rolled his eyes and he turns his back from her.
"You will tell me your given name after the cotillion. You told me about it and I would like to remind you that there are things that you should tell me when I reach at the age of 18." She reminded him that makes him stopped as she speak.
"I didn't forget about it." He told as he looked over his shoulder. She twisted her lips and shrugged.
"I'll get ready," she said as she gets inside closing the doors. He sighed and he holds his heart within his breast. His adrenaline is pumping fast.
The master of the ceremony which is Roco, Gia's uncle and her mother's cousin had declared the debutant celebrator. She is wearing a red glamorous gown that is designed by the popular designer of the world and he is also their private designer. She is wearing a red fancy masked and everyone looked at her stunned by her beauty.
Her radiant firm skin had matched and stunned because of her gown. Her hair is curled and had put some diamond pins for a messy bun. She is taking the 18 stairs down while everyone is waiting down stairs and a man in a black cloak and black suit with a white plain masked is waiting for her. He is drowned into her beauty and everyone too.
She took the last stair and she looked at the man who is like in the Phantom outfit. The man bowed at her like she is a royal Princess and he offers his hand. She took it and the man kissed her knuckles. He smiles at her and she tried to recognize him. She intertwines her arm to his like he is her groom.
The cotillion started and she danced with her father while the others are dancing.
"You're good at dancing huh." He teased. She sighed rolling her eyes. They are gliding and swaying and making the basic waltz steps.
"Dad, I dance jazz but waltz is not my thing." Ares smiles are wide and very proud and happy. "But I am expecting a black card from you."
"Honey, the crime city is our gift for you. We are helping on building it but we got surprises for you and you should be ready, okay?" he winked.
"Whatever father..." she proceeds on the next dance while they are giving her pink roses. After the dance they are giving her kisses on cheek. The second dance is her brother.
"Baby sister, since that you are a young adult now, you can go drink whatever you want or just fool around partying..."
"You are not helping me Kuya. I don't want to waste my time in drinking and partying. Besides, I got a curse to break before someone die." She said. Alex smiles.
"You are very practical as ever. That's why I love my baby sister so much." He smacked her forehead. "I don't want you to rebel because of us, for not giving you a chance to enter the DIA. It's for your own condition, besides I am still working on the body scanner. We are still testing it." He told.
"It's alright, Kuya. I just want my obsession to be great."
"Of course the land will be great. You had planned it for years and that dream of you is coming true. But don't you want to find someone who you can love and who can love you back?" he asked. She shrugged.
"I have plans already." She smirked. Alex was puzzled at her.
"Okay, I don't get it, but I love you, we love you." he turn her around and she faced another partner Miles and Stephen then her cousins and etc.
Lastly, her escort. They faced each other and there's a pace between them. He gave a red rose with a black ribbon and she stared at it. She took it, and she watched him bowing like a Prince. She bowed like a Princess and he offers his hand, she took it and he squeezes it. They started dancing in the stepped that Edmond had taught her.
"You look wonderful, Princess." He said in his sexy voice. She stare in his hazelnut eyes, he lifted their hand and he turn her around until he is at her back. They stepped forward gliding while his left hand is at his back and he is holding her right hand by his right hand. His cheek is touching hers. "I wish you will take me as your King and I will take you as my Queen." He told in his European accent.
"Aren't you too fast for that?" she asked. She turned around facing him. He pulls her back waist closer to him and they danced while her hand is holding his other hand and the other is at his arm.
"Am I? I waited for this time to come, but I think I should take it slow."
He switched his hand one to her waist and she moved her body at the side while he is holding her at 45 degree angle. Her hand is around his nape and he moved his face closer to her. Their nose touches and he wanted to kiss her. Her lips are apart like she wanted to kiss him too. She removed her masked and stared at him. He pulls her up and they dance again.
"Slow or not, things will happen." She said. The 18th dance ends and he bowed at him his right palm on his left chest.
She had entertained the guests while everyone is eating. She went to her grandfather's who are father of her dad and father of her mom and then her uncle-grandfather's. She sat on the vacant chair and she looked at the brandy and whisky on the table that they are all drinking together.
"Babe," they greet.
"Hey what are you drinking gentlemen?" she asked.
"Just some chill beverages." Her French grandfather Trevor who is her mother's uncle orders.
"You look very gorgeous huh," her dad's father Henry told.
"I know gramps." She winked. "Can I take a shot?" she asked. They looked at each other and they just nods. They gave her a small amount of whisky but before she drunk it Ares had got it from her.
"Yeah, not now sweetie." Her mother's father Zeus who is also the former Chairman of Central DIA said in a mock.
"This is whisky and it contains 40 or 50 ethyl alcohol." Her father told. She blinked at him and then she hands up.
"Oh-kay." She told. She faced her grandfathers. "Maybe next time, gentlemen." She winked and stood. She went to stage and she had to open the 18 games that they planned. The first game is hide and seek. The second game is solving case. The third game singing contest next is prize hunting, then apple relay for lovers. Then the sixth is dance showdown and so on and so forth.
"Girls will hide and boys will seek. The limitation is outside the boundary of this hotel." The MC told.
The males had put a blind fold on them and the girls started running and looking for somewhere they can hide. Gia is just cool drinking her champagne sitting on the chair while Prince is sitting on the floor with a bow tie and suit. He also got champagne on his dog bowl.
Edmond is the first one who removed his blind fold and he put his masked back. He runs to Gia who is on the corner. He grabbed the glass from her hand putting it on the table and he grabbed her up.
"Hey!" she complains. He grabbed her outside the ball room to the maze garden in front of the fountain. There are lots of fireflies and there are lots of stars above. She faced him and looked at him impassively.
"Hi," he smiles.
"Hi," she greets back.
"Before everything, I would like to introduce myself to you." he removed his masked. "The truth is I am not your body guard. I am Prince Edmond of Denmark. I am here to court you, but, I courted your family first." He said guiltily. She seemed not surprise so it makes him more nervous. "We first met in my palace, you were just seven..."
She nods and she let him speak. It makes him more nervous when she is listening impassively.
"Okay, I will be direct to you." he said in grief. He kneels and he lifted a small box and he opens it. The silver rose ring with a red stone in the middle is shining in the night. The ring is very gorgeous and every girl wanted it to be theirs. "I know that this is too fast but I would like you to know that I am truly deeply in love with you. I know all about you and since the first time I saw you, you are the only one I wanted to love. I wanted you to be my Queen. I wanted to take you to my castle and to live with until death do us apart, with full of love."
"Edmond," she speaks his name. It sounds very beautiful hearing it from her mouth and that name as she speaks is heavenly. "Do you know what you are asking for?" she asked.
"I do, that's why I am here in front of you asking you to marry me. Will you marry me, Princess Gia?" he asked with full of hope.

"I can't chill now, it's tonight and I don't know what to do." He said getting frenzied.

"But you rehears right?" they asked. "You had planned proposing to her, right?"
"Yes, I did. I've been planning it for years and how to do it. But, you don't understand!" he turn his back from them.
"We don't understand why you acted so anxious because of the proposal. You need to be cool in front of Gia or she will laugh at you." they told. Edmond turn his back to them.
"You are right!" he snapped. The twin makes a long way of secret handshake by tossing their palm smacking and fist bumped and whatsoever they are doing.
They had gathered to her room with a cake that Athena baked and some champagne and other things that is needed to surprise a person. Athena grabbed Edmond and she let him hold the cake for her. Prince start barking at her and licking her face until she moans, brow furrows and she open her eyes. They blow hornpipes and some popping sounds and glitters showers on her.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Gia... happy birthday to you." they sang it fast and repeat it two times.
She was puzzled to all of them. She snorted and lie back to bed. Her body is in pain because of the game they played yesterday. Alex and Victoria jumped to bed and they started pulling her up kissing her and cuddling her. She shrieks and they all laughs in happiness.
"Why are you all here?" she asked irritated.
"It's your birthday and we surprise you, dah..." Victoria rolled her eyes. She smiles and looked at her Mum and Dad. They sat beside her and kissed her.
"Blow your cake candle now." Ares told. "Your Mum and Aunties baked it for you." he said enthusiastically. Edmond went closer to her and he move the cake in front of her. She looked at Edmond which he just smiled.
"Make a wish before you blow it." He said. She just stares at him impassively and she blows the candle without hesitation. "What's your wish?" he asked.
She shrugged her shoulder. Stephen and Miles throw the icing that is on the paper plate on Alex's and Victoria's face and Gia had covered her face before they got a hit on her. The two frowned at the twin and the twin laughs. They laugh and everyone is throwing icing on their faces.

Gia giggles and she stopped when Ares put an icing on her face. She grimaced at him and Ares laughs.

They went back to the resort for the spa time for hours. The girls are in one spa room while the boys are at the other room doing the same. Gia is sleeping while the therapist are massaging her and putting some herbal on her face and a cucumber on her eyes. The other girls are talking about boys and their boyfriends also about their school which is the Detective Intelligence Academy. Some of the family members are not studying in DIA because they had preferred to stay in business and enterprising. DIA is a school for spies and to become a police even an army and a great detective. Gia's parents did not give her a chance to enter in the DIA. It is because of her syndrome, narcolepsy and heart conflicts.
"I am so excited tonight." Stephanie said while the manicurist is cleaning her pretty nails.

Reina is busy on her phone while the cosmetician is cleaning her toe nails. She is chatting with Lester and she was so cold on him. His sweetness makes her heart jump but she hates his hopeless romantic words though it makes her face reddish like tomato.
"Reina, what do you think about the colors?" Stephanie asked raising the pink one and the red one. Reina glanced at her.
"I go to burgundy not that bloody red." She told. Stephanie twisted her lips and she thinks she's right.
"Good choice." Stephanie said.
"Lester is with Alex, right?" Lian asked. She is Lester's older sister and she felt a sudden awkwardness between them.
"He is. They are on the spa playing cards." Reina told. Lian smiles wide thinking about her boyfriend.

"I am so glad that I am 18, finally I can manage to build the city. At least I am near on the DIA, right?"
"Yes, that city is very genius of you. You expand the land to the water which is made into nuclear trashes and plastic trashes."
"Yes, I got the idea of plastic trashes from Japanese air land. That was so creative and everything of them but I still manage to make it more eco-friendly." she sighed in grief.
"Why are you in grief, Gia?" she asked. Gia shook her head.
"I don't even know."
"Okay, we will just get ready and you need too." Reina stood.

"You will understand the magnetic desire between opposite sex, dear."

"Oh-kay." She told. She faced her grandfathers. "Maybe next time, gentlemen." She winked and stood. She went to stage and she had to open the 18 games that they planned. The first game is hide and seek. The second game is solving case. The third game singing contest next is prize hunting, then apple relay for lovers. Then the sixth is dance showdown and so on and so forth.
"Girls will hide and boys will seek. The limitation is outside the boundary of this hotel." The MC told.
The males had put a blind fold on them and the girls started running and looking for somewhere they can hide. Gia is just cool drinking her champagne sitting on the chair while Prince is sitting on the floor with a bow tie and suit. He also got champagne on his dog bowl.
Edmond is the first one who removed his blind fold and he put his masked back. He runs to Gia who is on the corner. He grabbed the glass from her hand putting it on the table and he grabbed her up.
"Hey!" she complains. He grabbed her outside the ball room to the maze garden in front of the fountain. There are lots of fireflies and there are lots of stars above. She faced him and looked at him impassively.
"Hi," he smiles.
"Hi," she greets back.
"Before everything, I would like to introduce myself to you." he removed his masked. "The truth is I am not your body guard. I am Prince Edmond of Denmark. I am here to court you, but, I courted your family first." He said guiltily. She seemed not surprise so it makes him more nervous. "We first met in my palace, you were just seven..."
She nods and she let him speak. It makes him more nervous when she is listening impassively.
"Okay, I will be direct to you." he said in grief. He kneels and he lifted a small box and he opens it. The silver rose ring with a red stone in the middle is shining in the night. The ring is very gorgeous and every girl wanted it to be theirs. "I know that this is too fast but I would like you to know that I am truly deeply in love with you. I know all about you and since the first time I saw you, you are the only one I wanted to love. I wanted you to be my Queen. I wanted to take you to my castle and to live with until death do us apart, with full of love."
"Edmond," she speaks his name. It sounds very beautiful hearing it from her mouth and that name as she speaks is heavenly. "Do you know what you are asking for?" she asked.
"I do, that's why I am here in front of you asking you to marry me. Will you marry me, Princess Gia?" he asked with full of hope.
The Royal Proposal 20Everyone is busy on the kitchen and on decorating. Athena and other ladies are decorating the cake that she baked for her daughter while Ares is putting dozens of gifts on her room with other boys. Prince is eating his breakfast food so that he won't disturb Gia's sleep. Edmond is walking back and forth in the room of boys."Don't you mind of chilling out?" Stephen asked."I can't chill now, it's tonight and I don't know what to do." He said getting frenzied.Stephen and Miles dropped their body on the bed studying Edmond's body language and expression."But you rehears right?" they asked. "You had planned proposing to her, right?""Yes, I did. I've been planning it for years and how to do it. But, you don't understand!" he turn his back from them."We don't understand why you acted so anxious because of the proposal. You need to be cool in front of Gia or she will laugh at you." they told. Edmond turn his back to them."You are right!" he snapped. The twin makes a long way of secret handshake by tossing their palm smacking and fist bumped and whatsoever they are doing.They had gathered to her room with a cake that Athena baked and some champagne and other things that is needed to surprise a person. Athena grabbed Edmond and she let him hold the cake for her. Prince start barking at her and licking her face until she moans, brow furrows and she open her eyes. They blow hornpipes and some popping sounds and glitters showers on her."Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Gia... happy birthday to you." they sang it fast and repeat it two times.She was puzzled to all of them. She snorted and lie back to bed. Her body is in pain because of the game they played yesterday. Alex and Victoria jumped to bed and they started pulling her up kissing her and cuddling her. She shrieks and they all laughs in happiness."Why are you all here?" she asked irritated."It's your birthday and we surprise you, dah..." Victoria rolled her eyes. She smiles and looked at her Mum and Dad. They sat beside her and kissed her."Blow your cake candle now." Ares told. "Your Mum and Aunties baked it for you." he said enthusiastically. Edmond went closer to her and he move the cake in front of her. She looked at Edmond which he just smiled."Make a wish before you blow it." He said. She just stares at him impassively and she blows the candle without hesitation. "What's your wish?" he asked.She shrugged her shoulder. Stephen and Miles throw the icing that is on the paper plate on Alex's and Victoria's face and Gia had covered her face before they got a hit on her. The two frowned at the twin and the twin laughs. They laugh and everyone is throwing icing on their faces.Prince started licking Victoria's face which is coated in icing. Gia lie down covering the duvet over her face, and they all went out throwing icing on each other's and playing around. Athena took the cake from Edmond and Edmond just shrugged. He looked at Gia who is trying to sleep again."Hey, Princess, get up now. There are a lot of things that we have to do including you with the girls in the spa.""I'm not in mood." She moans. "My body is in pain and I need more sleep." Edmond jumped over her bed and he pulls the duvet. Her hair is a bit messy and she had open her eyes just to see him in front of her kneeling between her legs."C'mon, you have to get up now." She sat up lazily and she drops her body at left side of the bed. Her face is hanging at the side and her left hand too. He pulls her up and a paper plate of an icing had land on his face that makes him close his eyes. She laughs and laughs. Edmond removed the plate and he strokes his hands on his eyes that are covering by the icing. He licked his lips and the sweet taste of the icing makes him smirk."Very funny, Princess." He gritted.He washed his face by his palm and he wiped it on her face that makes her shrieks. She pushed him and he laugh out loud. Never in his life he laugh that loud. She gets another icing from the floor that the twin had left for her and she pressed it on his face. She jumped off from bed and runs out her room."Gia!" Edmond removed the icing that covers his face and he runs after her.They are at the patio for the morning meal and some are still running and throwing some icing. Gia grabbed a table napkin and she wiped it on her face while Edmond is running to her. She runs to her father's back and make him a human shield. Edmond stopped and Ares raise his eyebrows.Gia giggles and she stopped when Ares put an icing on her face. She grimaced at him and Ares laughs."I love you baby.""I'm not a baby Dad!" she said childishly. Edmond laughs and Ares pushed her to Edmond."Okay, help on the grill both of you." Ares commands. Edmond salutes on him and he put his arms around her while she is wiping her face."You see, everyone here are busy and happy because of this day. So don't grimace and let's just enjoy every single time." He told. She smirked and she pushed him on the pool that is near on the grilling stand. Stephen and Miles cheers and clapped their hands.They went back to the resort for the spa time for hours. The girls are in one spa room while the boys are at the other room doing the same. Gia is sleeping while the therapist are massaging her and putting some herbal on her face and a cucumber on her eyes. The other girls are talking about boys and their boyfriends also about their school which is the Detective Intelligence Academy. Some of the family members are not studying in DIA because they had preferred to stay in business and enterprising. DIA is a school for spies and to become a police even an army and a great detective. Gia's parents did not give her a chance to enter in the DIA. It is because of her syndrome, narcolepsy and heart conflicts."I am so excited tonight." Stephanie said while the manicurist is cleaning her pretty nails."Yeah, the party will go awesome; I can't wait for the games." Victoria said in full of excitement and energy and she even makes a tiny sound of shrieks.Reina is busy on her phone while the cosmetician is cleaning her toe nails. She is chatting with Lester and she was so cold on him. His sweetness makes her heart jump but she hates his hopeless romantic words though it makes her face reddish like tomato."Reina, what do you think about the colors?" Stephanie asked raising the pink one and the red one. Reina glanced at her."I go to burgundy not that bloody red." She told. Stephanie twisted her lips and she thinks she's right."Good choice." Stephanie said."Lester is with Alex, right?" Lian asked. She is Lester's older sister and she felt a sudden awkwardness between them."He is. They are on the spa playing cards." Reina told. Lian smiles wide thinking about her boyfriend.The biggest accommodation rooms in the resort is where the girls are and they are chatting and busy on their gowns and make ups. Gia is lying on the king bed staring at the ceiling."I hope you don't feel so down because it's your 18th birthday." Reina interrupts."I am so glad that I am 18, finally I can manage to build the city. At least I am near on the DIA, right?""Yes, that city is very genius of you. You expand the land to the water which is made into nuclear trashes and plastic trashes.""Yes, I got the idea of plastic trashes from Japanese air land. That was so creative and everything of them but I still manage to make it more eco-friendly." she sighed in grief."Why are you in grief, Gia?" she asked. Gia shook her head."I don't even know.""Okay, we will just get ready and you need too." Reina stood."Lester told Edmond to hold me last night; it only means that you two make love. Am I right?" she asked still staring at the ceiling."I am afraid to lose somebody because of that fucking curse. I can't stay away from him because it makes me more devastated. I think I love him and it's hard for me to leave him. He's my soul-mate.""Yeah, that's too complicated to think but I am just asking if you do it last night with him." She frowns. Reina laughs and flushes. Gia giggles and she pointed her finger on her. "Busted!""You will understand the magnetic desire between opposite sex, dear.""Whatever," she rolled her eyes waving her hand to shoo her. "I will just rest for a while, my body is still aching." She sighed in grief."Yeah, just drink your juice and you'll be fine." She told.The people are preparing on the ball hall while she is at the balcony just letting the cold breeze of the sea brushed on her face and on her hair. She looked at the door and she can see a shadow of feet walking back and forth on the front door. She walked to the door bare feet and she opens the door that makes the person startles."You gave me heart attack!""You gave me heart attack!" Gia mocked at him on his accent. "What are you doing here?" she asked folding her arms. He looked at her from head to toe. She is only wearing a silk robe and she is not wearing any slippers."Why are you not yet dressed up, and no make-up?" he asked. She looked at him from head to toe too."Why you not yet dressed up, no masked?" she mocked. He rolled his eyes. "You see I am not in a good mood right now, why won't you just dress up and go get ready for the party?""You see I am not in a good mood right now too, why won't you just dress up and get ready for your own party." He mocks back. She raises an eyebrow. "Gia, I" he sighed exasperatedly. He rolled his eyes and he turns his back from her."You will tell me your given name after the cotillion. You told me about it and I would like to remind you that there are things that you should tell me when I reach at the age of 18." She reminded him that makes him stopped as she speak."I didn't forget about it." He told as he looked over his shoulder. She twisted her lips and shrugged."I'll get ready," she said as she gets inside closing the doors. He sighed and he holds his heart within his breast. His adrenaline is pumping fast.The master of the ceremony which is Roco, Gia's uncle and her mother's cousin had declared the debutant celebrator. She is wearing a red glamorous gown that is designed by the popular designer of the world and he is also their private designer. She is wearing a red fancy masked and everyone looked at her stunned by her beauty.Her radiant firm skin had matched and stunned because of her gown. Her hair is curled and had put some diamond pins for a messy bun. She is taking the 18 stairs down while everyone is waiting down stairs and a man in a black cloak and black suit with a white plain masked is waiting for her. He is drowned into her beauty and everyone too.She took the last stair and she looked at the man who is like in the Phantom outfit. The man bowed at her like she is a royal Princess and he offers his hand. She took it and the man kissed her knuckles. He smiles at her and she tried to recognize him. She intertwines her arm to his like he is her groom.The cotillion started and she danced with her father while the others are dancing."You're good at dancing huh." He teased. She sighed rolling her eyes. They are gliding and swaying and making the basic waltz steps."Dad, I dance jazz but waltz is not my thing." Ares smiles are wide and very proud and happy. "But I am expecting a black card from you.""Honey, the crime city is our gift for you. We are helping on building it but we got surprises for you and you should be ready, okay?" he winked."Whatever father..." she proceeds on the next dance while they are giving her pink roses. After the dance they are giving her kisses on cheek. The second dance is her brother."Baby sister, since that you are a young adult now, you can go drink whatever you want or just fool around partying...""You are not helping me Kuya. I don't want to waste my time in drinking and partying. Besides, I got a curse to break before someone die." She said. Alex smiles."You are very practical as ever. That's why I love my baby sister so much." He smacked her forehead. "I don't want you to rebel because of us, for not giving you a chance to enter the DIA. It's for your own condition, besides I am still working on the body scanner. We are still testing it." He told."It's alright, Kuya. I just want my obsession to be great.""Of course the land will be great. You had planned it for years and that dream of you is coming true. But don't you want to find someone who you can love and who can love you back?" he asked. She shrugged."I have plans already." She smirked. Alex was puzzled at her."Okay, I don't get it, but I love you, we love you." he turn her around and she faced another partner Miles and Stephen then her cousins and etc.Lastly, her escort. They faced each other and there's a pace between them. He gave a red rose with a black ribbon and she stared at it. She took it, and she watched him bowing like a Prince. She bowed like a Princess and he offers his hand, she took it and he squeezes it. They started dancing in the stepped that Edmond had taught her."You look wonderful, Princess." He said in his sexy voice. She stare in his hazelnut eyes, he lifted their hand and he turn her around until he is at her back. They stepped forward gliding while his left hand is at his back and he is holding her right hand by his right hand. His cheek is touching hers. "I wish you will take me as your King and I will take you as my Queen." He told in his European accent."Aren't you too fast for that?" she asked. She turned around facing him. He pulls her back waist closer to him and they danced while her hand is holding his other hand and the other is at his arm."Am I? I waited for this time to come, but I think I should take it slow."He switched his hand one to her waist and she moved her body at the side while he is holding her at 45 degree angle. Her hand is around his nape and he moved his face closer to her. Their nose touches and he wanted to kiss her. Her lips are apart like she wanted to kiss him too. She removed her masked and stared at him. He pulls her up and they dance again."Slow or not, things will happen." She said. The 18th dance ends and he bowed at him his right palm on his left chest.She had entertained the guests while everyone is eating. She went to her grandfather's who are father of her dad and father of her mom and then her uncle-grandfather's. She sat on the vacant chair and she looked at the brandy and whisky on the table that they are all drinking together."Babe," they greet."Hey what are you drinking gentlemen?" she asked."Just some chill beverages." Her French grandfather Trevor who is her mother's uncle orders."You look very gorgeous huh," her dad's father Henry told."I know gramps." She winked. "Can I take a shot?" she asked. They looked at each other and they just nods. They gave her a small amount of whisky but before she drunk it Ares had got it from her."Yeah, not now sweetie." Her mother's father Zeus who is also the former Chairman of Central DIA said in a mock."This is whisky and it contains 40 or 50 ethyl alcohol." Her father told. She blinked at him and then she hands up."Oh-kay." She told. She faced her grandfathers. "Maybe next time, gentlemen." She winked and stood. She went to stage and she had to open the 18 games that they planned. The first game is hide and seek. The second game is solving case. The third game singing contest next is prize hunting, then apple relay for lovers. Then the sixth is dance showdown and so on and so forth."Girls will hide and boys will seek. The limitation is outside the boundary of this hotel." The MC told.The males had put a blind fold on them and the girls started running and looking for somewhere they can hide. Gia is just cool drinking her champagne sitting on the chair while Prince is sitting on the floor with a bow tie and suit. He also got champagne on his dog bowl.Edmond is the first one who removed his blind fold and he put his masked back. He runs to Gia who is on the corner. He grabbed the glass from her hand putting it on the table and he grabbed her up."Hey!" she complains. He grabbed her outside the ball room to the maze garden in front of the fountain. There are lots of fireflies and there are lots of stars above. She faced him and looked at him impassively."Hi," he smiles."Hi," she greets back."Before everything, I would like to introduce myself to you." he removed his masked. "The truth is I am not your body guard. I am Prince Edmond of Denmark. I am here to court you, but, I courted your family first." He said guiltily. She seemed not surprise so it makes him more nervous. "We first met in my palace, you were just seven..."She nods and she let him speak. It makes him more nervous when she is listening impassively."Okay, I will be direct to you." he said in grief. He kneels and he lifted a small box and he opens it.

"Do you know what you are asking for?" she asked."I do, that's why I am here in front of you asking you to marry me. Will you marry me, Princess Gia?" he asked with full of hope.
