Nikolai have been feeling stressful this past few days with his private lessons, trainings, and other responsibilities he got after he became the Heir of Leonardo, his grandfather who is currently the Head of their Clan.
Nikolai was pressured to do his best, because he is the only one who can inherent the title after both his Uncle Rey and his father Richard rejected the Heir position.
When Nikolai heard about it, he got mad. Like why would they reject it. This title is very important, and they're just gonna turn it down like it's nothing. Plus, he's still young for this kind of responsibilities.
The Clan Head changed his schooling system. Before, Nikolai was studying in one of the private schools in Italy. But now, he is homeschooled. The Clan Head hired a private tutor to conduct a private lessons. They also hired a professional Military instructor and trainer to train him in combat and the use of weapons.
All of this happened after he became the heir. And that makes him quite pissed at his uncle and father.
But Nikolai can't do anything about it. It's already decided that he will inherit the title. The only thing he can do now is to brace himself and try his best to do everything.
Everything that is happening in the clan gives him a lot of stress and problems.
So Nikolai thought of a solution. Even though it's only temporary, at least he'll be able to rest and relax without any trouble.
He search for a good places for vacations. A place a bit far from Italy.
Nikolai decided that he needed some break away from his Clan so he asked his father about it.
Walking towards his dad's office and then knocked.
"Come in" Richards voice can be heard through the office door.
Hearing his father's permission, Nikolai turned the door knob and proceeded to enter.
Inside the office, Richard can be seen holding a brown folder, reading the contents in it.
Seeing Nikolai, Richard paused, and asked, "What is it son?"
"Papa, I have request." a nervous Nikolai said.
Although Nikolai is nervous, he didn't show it.
"Well, depends on what that request is." Richard said, putting the brown folder on the table, and stare at his son.
"I want to have a vacation." Nikolai said, staring right back at his father, to show how serious he is about this.
Richard immediately notice how serious he is. He knows how his son is. Every time Nikolai set his mind on something, he'll do it. So Richard thought about his son's request.
'Maybe this'll help him relax and have fun a little bit.' thought Richard.
After a few minutes of silence, Richard said, "Very well. But wanted to know where you're going."
Hearing his father's agreement, his nervousness faded. He already thought about several places that he could go to. China, South Korea, Japan, or Philippines.
He have always wanted to visit Philippines. Nikolai heard there's a lot of tourist destination in there. Most of all, he wanted to visit Palawan.
So Nikolai decided to go to the Philippines.
"Philippines.... I wanted to go to the Philippines." Nikolai said, showing a barely noticeable smile to his father.
Even though the Rodriguez Clan can be stressful, he still care about them. They're his family after all.
Richard, sensing how happy Nikolai is, gave his permission.
----------------------------------------TIMESKIP-------------------------------------------
Nikolai prepared his clothes, hygiene stuff, gadgets, and some other things that he might need in his trip.
After preparing everything, Nikolai called his driver to ready the car. He also called their private pilot to ready the plane.
After all of that, Nikolai finally made his way to the airport. There, he met the pilot and a few attendants for the trip.
The airport isn't that crowded so he easily got to his plane without any trouble.
-----------------------------------------TIMESKIP------------------------------------------
FINALLY arrived in Palawan, El Nido Airport. Fortunately, Nikolai rented a car in advanced. So after he got the car he rented, he then proceed to drive to Vellago Resort and Hotel, where he rented a room for 1week.
Of course, because of a jet lag, he took breaks from time to time until he arrived at his destination.
After arriving, he parked his car and walked to the entrance.
Upon his arrival, he immediately got a lot of attention, seeing as he is a foreigner. Nikolai ignored the stares and proceed to the counter.
The woman behind the counter was already looking at him so immediately said, "Excuse me, reservation for Nikolai Rodriguez?".
Even though the woman have encountered a few foreign tourist, she still got flustered, especially with how deep Nikolai's voice is and how handsome he is.
After a few second, the woman then replied,"Uhm.....Yes, let me check."
The woman immediately looked up Nikolai's name in the computer. While doing so, the woman keep stealing glances at him from time to time. Making Nikolai feel a bit annoyed.
Finally, after a few minutes, the woman said," Nikolai Rodriguez, here is your key. A staff will guide you there. "
She then handed the key and called one of the staff. While waiting for the staff, the woman suddenly said, "My name is Riya by the way. Just call me if you need anything else." and smiled at Nikolai, blushing and holding her hand for a hand shake.
Nikolai don't want to be rude so he shake her hand and said, "Nice to meet you Riya, I'm Nikolai. Thank you for your assistance." giving her a dashing smile.
Nikolai took his hand back, seeing as Riya isn't letting go.
The woman- now named Riya, blushed seeing his smile. She wanted to ask for his Facebook account, but before she could ask, the staff arrived.
Regrettably, Riya had to say goodbye to Nikolai for now.
After Nikolai was guided to his cozy cottage.
Finally settled, he disregard his luggage on the floor and proceed to lie down on the comfy bed. The tiredness catching up to him. Getting sleepy, he then go the bathroom for a bath and change in his night clothes which consist of a grey sweat pants and white plain shirt.
After changing, he immediately lie down on the bed and sleep took over.
