Edith wonders why he suddenly asked her. They were having a good time talking while eating the snacks. She plans on introducing him to her hermana. I wonder if there Papa is at home as he was busy with state matters earlier.
"I am not sure Pat. May I call you "Pat" instead of señor?" Edith asks him. She was becoming more formal as they talk.
"Yes my lady. You can call me whatever you want. I am glad you would call me by my name." Pat smiled at her. He let's her call him by his name which is unusual for him to hear beyond his family. All of the engkanto always address him as Prince Pat or Prince.
"Thanks Pat. May I ask about your family? You seem to be well educated from the manner you speak." She asks him. She was curious how this person can speak fluently in such an old manner of language.
"We were taught from early age to be respectful of everyone so I guess it came naturally for me." Pat said. He did not want to lie but he did not want to tell her yet everything.

"Señor, good afternnon, my name is Patricio and I would like to ask your permission to court your daughter Edith, if you would allow?" Pat said to Edith's Papa. He was in his office in the pack house. The both of them were facing each other. Pat was sat in a leather chair which he did not like. It squeaks when he moves.
"Mijo, may I know first before I answer that? I am very protective when it comes to my daughters as they are precious to me." Alpha Vicente said. Edith has already informed him that Pat was her mate but Alpha Vicente wanted to be sure Pat would not hurt her daughter.
"Señor, will all due respect it will be my honor to protect Edith with my life. I will not anything or anyone harm her." Pat directly expressed his emotions. He knew that having this talk will be nerve wrecking and beneficial to him in the long run.
His hands was sweating while his feet is shaking. He tries to be calm but the silence between them was not helping. It seems that Alpha Vicente was thinking.
"Good, I like what you are saying. Next question, where do your family live? And who are your parents?" Alpha Vicente was grilling him and getting every information he can get from him. He didn't fully trust him yet. Also, he has never seen this boy in the town before so he is suspicious.
"May parents are living near this town. We are not of this town. My Papa is the ruler of our kingdom while Mama is the queen. If you will, I would be glad to invite you and your family to my home. That way you may talk with my parents." He knew he needs to please her Papa in order to court Edith. This has been the tradition of humans as he has read in the books.
"Very well, I look forward to meeting them. But, I would like to invite them in my house if you would permit. May I know, what is the name of your kingdom? I have not known any natives to have that structure exist today." Alpha Vicente requested.
"Señor, it would be my pleasure to bring my parents hear. Thank you for allowing me inside your home." Pat let out a long breath. He did not know he was holding it until he said the last word. His hands was still sweating but his feet has stopped shaking. He thinks things are going well in his favor.
"I see, then let them come here this weekend. We will have a party to welcome them to our home. We shall talk by then about your courtship with my daughter. For now, I won't allow her to be with you outside of this house. If you will visit her you will be accompanied by an elder. Do you agree?" He stood his ground. He did not want to give him his permission easily. He has to earn it, he thought.
"Thank you señor. Yes, I will let them know. See you on Sunday. I will be off for now to inform them about this." Pat was happy. He can now freely see Edith when he wants. Even if it is just inside her house. He took his hat from the table and nodded to go out.
How should I let them know about this without missing the time? I have a couple of hours before Sunday arrives. Unlike here where they have three days to prepare. I only have three hours. I better hurry up back home.

My Mysterious Mate 10. Longing
It has been two days since Edith last saw Pat. She has become agitated by his absence. She wasn't sure if he will come back. It seems her Papa gave him a very hard task.These days courtship is quite hard. Unlike before you just present your riches and any parent will give you your approval. This time they need to prove themselves not their wealth or their background."Hermana, are you okay? You seem distressed." Trish asks her. She was staring at the crops outside but her mind was somewhere else."Hi Trish, I didn't notice you were here. I am just worried. Pat hasn't visited yet. And tomorrow is the party. What if he won't come? Or what if he decides I am not worth the trouble?" Edith answered her sister's question."Hermana don't think like that. You know what, instead of sulking here alone. Why don't you come with me to town. We can drag Joselito with us. He is such an adorable kid." Trish
