After a flight of 10 hours and 53 minutes, Prince Mharl and Marie enjoyed Jamaica's tour visit despite being tired. One royal officer said to the prince's secretary, "From a distance, they looked like a royal couple.” “Yeah! But the prince has already agreed to marry." Having watched two consecutive programs the day they arrived Marie felt overwhelmed by the military ceremony that was held a while ago. Marie felt for the first time in her life that she had something significant to do before the public. As she uttered a silent prayer, she vowed to stand confidently for the truth, as she wished to go away from the public's eye. Her introverted side of her father reemerged. As the two of them were not together for the last activity in the morning, the prince asked, "How are you?". “I am fine. Just a little sleepy.” “Don’t worry after this we will have our lunch and the rest of the afternoon will be ours. The next activity will be at 6:00 PM tonight so you have the luxury to sleep
Having just read Ralph’s private message on her Messenger, Marie read the good news loudly. It was 4:26 in the morning. She jumped and jumped without realizing the prince was sitting on the side of his bed and observing her. As he folded his long sleeve, the prince asked, "What's going on?". “Oh, you’re well now. How come that…? I will tell you later. Marie suddenly gathered her pillows and blanket. I will return in just a few minutes, Sir.” The prince was grateful that his headache was over. “I forgot to say thank you to her. She seems so happy.” The prince smiled as he gazed at how Marie’s character resembled him whenever he is happy as well. The prince researched the song Marie composed and was grateful to see it posted on the YouTube channel. “The song was uploaded one week ago. Wow! She has 35k subscribers and 50k views. What is this?” The prince scrolled his phone and tapped Marie’s new composition song. “Am I In Love?” One stormy day, the clouds are heavy, Raindrops fal
There was a royal newspaper that criticized Marie and her family for the many rumors and gossip they had in their country. That gave their name a bad reputation. “Mar, your cousin, Geo, was caught stealing a cow,” Le said. “Is that a joke?” Le made a sigh. “No. I am not joking. He even told the truth that he made it.” "But why did he do it?" We knew that Geo was kind and friendly.” “He told the police that he was drunk and he just joined his comrades to do the thing. They stole and sold the parts.” After the talk, Marie cried. She forgot that she needed to call the Royal City High ICT Team. The next day, Irene called and told her about a distant relative who had an accident. During the same hour, Jek's house, Marie's second sibling, was engulfed in flames. “Dear God, You, understand that I am not like Job who was faithful and brave. There is just me, a mere harelip, a poor girl who knows You and has accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. I know I have made mistakes committ
As everyone prepared for Malaca*ang Palace Press Briefing, they kept a close eye on what President Devan, the president of the Philippines, would say. This added to the rumor and gossip about Sieran's reputation. Marie was judged by others and some of her fans. On the other hand, her friends who knew about her chose to believe and stay close to her, but doubts were present. Because of those, her poetry book was destroyed, vandalized, and canceled. Also, the poetry cartoon movie was canceled again. In the palace… “…It is our sincerest regret that we were not able to reveal what had happened many years ago since this involves Miss Marie Sieran, our former Malacañang scholar and the eldest daughter of our loyal Malacañang chef and helper, Mr. and Mrs. Lan and Len Sieran. We believe there is always room for improvement in every lesson, in every failure, and in everything. In this case, after a thorough investigation and analysis of the evidence, the truth needs to be revealed. We were
Marie pressed the call button. “I am sorry. Believe me, I didn’t have any plan to recall our past.” “Don’t mention it. I understand that the president is just doing his part and who else would he mention besides me? I was the only one on the video and who would believe that I didn't get it?" The prince sounded breathless as he talked about the revelation of his past and the accusation thrown at him about the lost artifact. Marie was the one who suggested the morning routine exercise for him. “I’ll be there tomorrow morning. Remember, it’s Saturday. My PhD class will be in the afternoon. “Funny that instead, you and I are in a quarrel, here we are making ways to get rid of stress.” Prince Mharl smiled as he cracked open his bottled water to drink. Marie laughed as she answered. “You know what? You didn't tell me that you loved me? I’m still not sure if you truly love me. Who made the first move?” “Oh? Are we planning to argue for that?” teased the prince as he always did when Mar
Prince Mharl's call to Marie’s family in the Philippines was not known to anyone even to her. The arrangement to send the money was done without the knowledge also of neither the palace nor anyone except for the few friends and staff the prince contacted. Marie called her mother, one day. “Mother, is there anything that happened that I didn’t know? How do you get into debt? Why $1 million? And why do you have debt?” Marie was almost in tears as she asked her mother when she decided to call herself. On the other line, a sigh was heard, and a deep breath. “Mar, I don’t know where to start…” Back at the castle, the king and queen later learned what Prince Mharl did when they asked his secretary about his activities and schedules in a private meeting. Now the highnesses summoned Prince Mharl to the room. “Dad, Mom, I just want to help her. She doesn’t know all about this because I knew she would get angry with me.” “How about what her country will say to us?” The prince’s mother asked
Marie was uncomfortable and felt as if she was running out of breath. The pain in her throat returned. There was something that hit her heart that she couldn't explain. The heart is beating so fast. She was too tired to walk, and the stranger was still holding her mouth. After a hand suddenly disappeared from her mouth, she managed to say, "Please let me go.". She sensed that the stranger in a black overall hood was struggling to breathe. "Thank you." Marie could not understand why she still had the nerve to say those words out of the blue. “Which way are we going?” Marie asked as the stranger checked the walls, windows, and floors of the room full of paintings and books. Although it wasn't an average library, it was a bit like one. The paintings again seemed to belong to the prince, she thought. Would you mind telling me who you are? What is this place? Marie asked as if the stranger didn't hear her. Everything in the room was captured by her camera. She couldn't see what was ins
Marie knew exactly how Prince Mharl would react after she told him everything. The rumors and news involving Marie and Prince Mharl continued. However, both sides were quiet. Despite the attack of the media, negotiations continued between the two parties. “Let’s fly to Paris.” The prince happily told Marie when they met in the secret garden of the castle beside the garden that was known to the public. It was located between a hill and a plain overlooking the city on the other side and the river. Marie stopped eating the cake. They had a snack date at 3:00 in the afternoon. Several of the staff prepared it for them. It was the prince's idea since he knew how much Marie adored greenery. “Are you serious? You have a lot of activities and I have mine. “Yes. I called the secretary to get our flight and the hotel to book.” “Wait My Royal Highness. Are you asking me to…?” “Miss Marie Sieran, I am a gentleman, you know. I got the message but it’s not the way you think. I just want you t
They were going to be married in three hours, but the prince did not even bother to come and speak to her.At 9:00 in the morning at Copenhagen's Roskilde Cathedral, Marie was in her lace and satin ivory gown while Prince Mharl wore his Danish military uniform. It was covered live, and the whole universe knew about that special occasion. The Philippine president and the first lady of Marie’s country came to Denmark for her wedding. The relationship between Denmark and the Philippines has been repaired. Finally, the cold war ended, and Marie was happy to bring light to her fellowmen.Meanwhile, only the loyal and trusted staff of the castle knew the true identity of the prince, thus Marie's real background. The queen miraculously regained her health on the day of the wedding. The prince did his best, which was to follow his parents.After two and a half hours, the wedding was over, and the happy couple was on their way to Amalienborg Palace. They were in the middle of the road, headed f
“I don’t know. They simply stated, "I resemble you." Marilyn said this timidly as she approached Marie on Eleven Madison Avenue near the Craft restaurant near 7th Avenue.Marie dialed her mother’s Messenger account and agreed that the family would have a video call between the two of them.“Marie is right. The two of you are twins!” For some, Le's high pitch was off-putting, but for those who knew her, it was her natural voice.Lan nodded. “How come? Of course, we knew that Marie was our eldest and only child that day.”“Maybe it is just a coincidence,” Jek said as he ate a sweet potato in the background.Von and Yen agreed, too. But their distant relative asked both Len and Lan what the truth was.Len was confident in giving the details, but suddenly Marie called.“You said that Smith is her family name?” Lan asked.Instead of picking up her cellphone, Marie opened her laptop and turned to her father instead of asking her mother.“I remember the foreigner that I met that day. I met hi
“Mother, let me hear the whole truth, please!” Marie sounded emotional as she stood facing the old Sophia, who was looking at her. It seemed that the white horse could understand how heavy her heart was. She hurried back to the castle.Seeing Le in a video call, Marie's eyes welled up with tears as she scanned the pictures. Marie was wearing her headset and had a sad expression on her face as she asked them the truth.“It’s a long story to tell, Mar. All I knew was that you were our eldest. When we left you, you had been in the hospital for five days. I remember the day when we had to bring you home. In fact, I told your father and aunt that your eyes and nose were different from the ones I had after giving birth to you. Of course, we knew that you had a harelip.”Marie paused. She wiped her nose with her white handkerchief and faced the window. Her laptop, which she used, was left on her study table. The laptop’s camera traced where she was."I'll send an email with pictures and the w
Marie’s face turned red, but as she absorbed everything, it slowly turned white. With her left hand holding the envelope, her right hand found the bottled water inside her black Louis Vuitton bag and drank. She knew that her allergy might hurt her again. Therefore, to lessen the pain as it was likely to come back, she promised herself to drink water as the doctor advised.Out of the corner of her eyes, Marie saw the two royal guards coming their way. The envelope was placed in her bag, using a magazine as a cover in case CCTV could track it. It was then that she was grateful that the old woman understood what she wanted to convey when she blinked her eyebrows and showed blankness in her eyes. She looked behind her.“See you at the back of the next building on the big oak tree facing the lake.”As she walked, the woman nodded, and before the two guards arrived from each side, they had already parted ways.“Hej, Ma’am Marie Sieran. "We are wondering if there is anything we can help you w
Apart from what he remembered, the doctors discussed that he was suffering from anterograde amnesia, in which he had lost his ability to form memories after the accident. This was because of the traumatic head injury he experienced.Despite his refusal, she continued to see him. One day, while he was still sleeping, she opened her email and saw an article from the royal website.“Princess Sharl’s identity revealed!” Marie could not form the word in her mind as she knew that already. However, she wondered who her closest associates were. Marie placed her right hand in the prince’s hands and began to sing the songs she had composed after he showed that he had forgotten her.You Are My VioletsOn the bank of the river, I sit.Watching swans talk and swim happily,Robins sing merrily while the sun smiles.As the curtains open, there is a round of applause.I was about to open them when I noticed you.You stand confidently holding a floweredViolets, which are my dear heart's love,They kne
“I missed you!” Marie heard the loudest voice of the prince, which she had never heard before. It seemed that everything was her first time in that land, based on what she could see, which was full of violets. This was more difficult for her because she felt like a princess sitting in the middle of the meadow, where her prince was smiling but his hands were missing.She looked around at all the violets and froze for a moment, realizing that everything was real and not just an image. She turned her gaze to the north, and she saw a smile as bright as a sunflower flower; the prince was now walking, holding a bouquet of violets in his hands.“I love you.” He said so and kissed her on the cheek this time.She held the flowers and smelled them. When she bowed her head to look at the path, to step, the prince was slightly kneeling with his right leg bent, holding the purple box with an olive-green peridot ring on it.“Will you marry me?” The prince asked, while Marie was left speechless and k
The long hours of waiting in the same hospital where the prince stayed were over after two hours for Marie. This was her third day in the hospital. Aside from checking the prince, she let her blood, stools, saliva, eyes, back, and other parts of the body be checked in the previous days. The highnesses asked their five family doctors to have a general checkup with Marie after what had happened to her in the hills. Marie and her highness's secretary followed one of the doctors to his office in the royal hospital.“Ms. Marie Sieran, please come to my office. Will you let them join you?” As he looked around the waiting room, the doctor said.The highness's secretary is there, as are Sharyn and the prince’s secretary.She surveyed their numbers and nodded. “Yes!” Marie knew she needed support for whatever she may learn later, and while following the doctor, she prayed.They entered the doctor’s office, and after a few moments, the result was shown."Let's get this started in your back." If
Marie couldn't remember how many emails she had sent because the woman she met on the plane wasn't responding to her F******k account. This was one of her weaknesses. When something disturbed her, she needed things to happen fast. Looking at the window facing the back part of the castle, where hills can be seen, she remembered her stay in the hospital. She could not allow herself to be in that place again. Within seconds, she walked to the refrigerator and grabbed her vitamins. “How’s the prince?” The queen asked as they happened to walk together into the dining room. Marie smiled and kissed her. “I am afraid he is still not responding.” “It’s okay. Things will not improve with time, but I am confident that your presence will bring him back to life." The queen sat as the maid prepared her chair. Marie as well, on her left side, and a few moments later, the king entered, and they took their breakfast. “Why not take Sophia for a ride this early morning before going there?” The king’
When Marie was awakened after several hours of fainting, her parents were there watching her. Le and Lan were told that Marie would be awakened at any moment, so they chose to be there as soon as she opened her eyes. “Mother, father. What happened?” “Can’t you remember what happened before you fainted?” Le worriedly asked as she gestured for Lan to call the doctors. Marie blinked and rolled her eyes as she surveyed the place where she was at the moment. “I remember now.” As she became aware of the dextrose on her hand and the oxygen on her nose, she said softly. A few moments later, three doctors entered, and the two went outside. One of the doctors, the group's leader, summoned the two to his office, which was a few steps away from the nursing station next to the emergency room where Marie was staying. “Your daughter has asthma. Aside from that, her allergy was triggered when she was exposed to the dust for a longer period of time. She is exhausted and tired at the same time, an
