ENSNARED BY HIS STRANGE PROPOSAL 46. The Royal Wedding
A Few Days Later – At Carson's OfficeIt was a very demanding period for his staff members. Planning another event, and shooting a movie of more than three hours, was no mean feat. Now, Mike and Annabel were back from their trips, and were cast by the director and producer, Carson. “Mike, do you really wish to take up the role of Stanley in the movie?” Carson asked.“Is the role strenuous?” Mike requested.“Certainly, but it is not what you can't handle. With Annabel as your partner, I believe you will deliver.”“What role are you playing?” Annabel asked, “It would help us to decide.”“Yes, Annabel is right. Acquaint us with the roles.”“That is good. I am taking the role of Johnny, and Pearl is taking up the role of Ruby.”“Yes. Go on,” Mike urged.“You and Annabel would take up the roles of Stanley and Carmine. Very close friends to Johnny and Ruby.”“That's good. Can we have a summary of the roles?”“Yes. I will share it with you at once.”Johnny Stewart:22 years old, penultimate

She landed at her grandmother's chamber when she got to the palace, and sank into the couch.“What is the matter, Mirabel?” Phoebe asked with trepidation, when she saw the deep despondency in her eyes.“Grandma, I'm losing my mind. Alfred fixed our wedding date for tomorrow. What do I do?”Grandma Phoebe became euphoric at once, and responded, “Wow! I have prayed for this moment. Congratulations.”Mirabel was not surprised at her reaction, but she gave her a questioning look. Then, her grandmother continued, “Go to your chamber, and do nothing but take a beauty rest. Leave the planning for us.”“Grandma, do you consent that I should marry a stranger?”“Yes. He is no more a stranger to me. Tell me, do you wish to let him go?”Mirabel showed dread as though she had lost him already, and shook her head in disapproval, “No, grandma. I don't wish to let him go.”“Neither do I nor any member of our family.” All the same, to get things straight, she asked, “Do I take that to mean that you

The two locked eyes in silence, not knowing how to take it. The King had been supportive of their projects directly and indirectly. The speed at which he gave his approval for the Confectionery Company, was encouraging. Afterward, Alfred brightened up, and spoke, “There must be a good reason, if it was from the King.”“You are right. The government may have had a program at that time.”“Whatever. We can always adjust. Let me inform her.”At Mirabel's ChamberApart from sleeping, the chamomile tea enhanced her hunger, and she woke up before lunch, and requested for food. Her chef expected that, and was prepared for her. She quickly served her with her food. Although she was sleepy, but she ate a double portion of her baked beans and buffalo wings before she walked to her room. At that point, her phone beeped, and she laid on her bed to read it.Meanwhile, Alfred wished to be certain that the mail got her attention. Therefore, he gave her a call at once. She quickly paused the mail, and

On the other hand, Irene was able to recognize her. She had returned to her parents a few days after fighting with the Spellcaster, and was coincidentally at the court premises. Her father was unhappy with her because, she wished to strain the cordial relationship that he enjoyed with King Raphael Churchill VII. He asked her to get her husband back, or prepare to be disowned. Meanwhile, it was a slap in the King's face that his daughter was the first to be divorced in the lineage of the Churchill.In the meantime, the Registrar had given her an appointment for noon that day. He expected that he would be free after the second marriage, until the King upturned their plans. As planned, she was in the court. To her surprise, she saw a familiar procession, and heard a familiar tune. It was the same procession that brought the Prince to the court fifteen years ago when they got married.“What is going on? Is the Prince giving our daughter out for marriage?” She asked herself in astonishment

Nonetheless, the couple, especially Alfred, was shy. He looked at Carson, and the rest. To worsen his case, Mike called out from the pews, “Professional Kisser, go on.”Apart from the witnesses, Alfred, laughed heartily, and his wife was infested. She laughed too, and thereafter, they kissed again, the Registrar's prank satiated. Then, he proceeded, “Ladies and gentlemen, behold Prince and Princess Alfred Walter. The latest couple in town.”The witnesses clapped cheerfully. On an instinct, the Prince looked at the two foreigners, and their clapping and cheering seemed to be the loudest. He looked away again, and faced his beautiful sister, and dashing brother-in-law.Furthermore, it was time for signing, and the issuance of the certificate. The couple was led to the table by the Registrar, while the boys brigade band kept the place livelier. The King and his wife got up, and walked to the table. Likewise, Sir Gilmore and his wife got up, and he looked at the foreigners. One of them got

The Prince led the procession by foot, while his children remained in the carriage. Meanwhile, Alfred was confused about his identify, when they got closer, and the Prince gave him a love smile when their eyes met. Soon, they were in the park, and everyone got down.At the CourtFrom Irene's hiding place, she was able to catch sight of all that she needed to see from the wedding. Although she was not inside the registry's hall, but she heard all the laughter and clapping. The Registrar returned to his office after the marriage, and rested. After his lunch, he sent for her. “I apologize for the change in schedule, Princess Churchill. Kindly take your seat,” the Registrar offered when she got into his office. He had never seen her looking so gloomy before. “Thank you, Registrar,” she expressed and took her seat. “May I know why you wish to see me,” he asked.The dejected Irene narrated her story, and concluded with, “I need your counsel. The marriage was registered here, and I never

“It is all right. I will inform him,” the Prince responded, and got up. He walked to his parents, who were through with their meal, and were just relaxing and waiting for Sir Gilmore and his guests to leave.“My father, Sir Gilmore, has a message for you.”“That's good. Let him come,” the King said, and adjusted. “All right, my father,” the Prince said, and left. He returned with the four and made them to sit comfortably.“Welcome once again, my in-laws,” the King and Queen greeted cheerfully. Now, Sir Gilmore and his wife were comfortable with the title, and he corrected, “Thank you, my King. We had mixed things up. I believe that you mistook Alfred for my relation.”“Certainly. I thought he was your nephew, and under your care.”“Not at all. He is my son's friend, and he is a very nice chap. Many people assume the same.”“That is interesting. All the same, you and your wife are my in-laws.”“Yes. You are our in-laws,” the Queen responded happily, and the laughed softly. Meanwhile, t

Sir Gilmore and his wife left with the relieved guests. Nevertheless, the family had returned to the parlor, and the Prince was exhausted, and needed to take a rest. Then he called his parents' attention, “My father, I will take a rest. Kindly Let me know if you still need me.”“Take your seat, my son,” the King requested. The exhausted Prince obeyed, and sat down.“I think we need to know. What do know about Alfred's mother? She was not mentioned at all in our conversation.”“Neither did she come with them for the son's wedding,” the Queen added. The Prince shook his head in disapproval, and said, “I have no idea about her.”“Did you see her the time you visited?”“Not at all, my mother. Meanwhile, I didn't visit Sir Walter's house. We had lunch at his old man's home.”“It is all right. We will talk more about that. You can leave,” the King proposed. The Prince got up straight away, and greeted, “Okay, my father. Later.”“Later, dear,” the Queen added, and the Prince left. The couple
