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.

She smiled despite the seriousness that she saw on Prince Mharl’s face. “Hon, you look like a teen who has been given the right to leave, yet all of a sudden his parents ask him to stay.” She giggled and ran the moment the prince hurriedly grabbed her hand. Sweetie, you owe me! A few meters away, the prince shouted as if they were the only two people on earth, ignoring the stares of couples, seniors, teens, and even families from all over the world. Back in the Philippines, President Devan called a conference with the cabinets about the decision they needed to make about the statement they made the previous month. In the heat of the issue, Denmark's highnesses officials firmly believed the prince was innocent and were still searching for a way to prove it.

“Nothing. I am still in awe of you, "he smiled, but deep inside he couldn't focus due to his plan. The two ate silently for the next hour and Marie was amused by the music in the background. She did not notice a group of Parisian musicians since they stood at their backs. They made a toss and the prince winked and they started to play their favorite love songs. Marie was so absorbed in the food in front of her, and just made a quick glance at the prince once and a while. However, as she still pondered the reason why Prince Mharl suddenly became so anxious a while back, she heard the introduction to "The King and Queen of Hearts" being played nearby. “It was impossible. The restaurant already had soft music playing in the background,” she thought. She was about to drink her water when she turned her head at the back. “Oh! What is this?” Marie exclaimed as she looked at the prince who was now wiping his head again. Though she asked, part of her brain knew already that it was a part

It was Friday afternoon. The library was full in attendance. A private meeting of the royal family was held for the third time. The first was before Denmark’s Foundation Day. The second was after the first murder attempt on Prince Mharl and the third during the Queen’s birthday. The queen and king led the family’s agenda. There was a monarchy led by the queen and a king was supposed to be the king since King Viela II's monarchy was based on her lineage and forefathers. However, it was amended by the queen and made the prince an equal king to civil duties. However, when considering the final decision, she still led the land so her family. On her Chanel-inspired tweed, one of the world's iconic fabrics, the queen said, "Good evening, my loving family." The reason why I called this meeting is very important.” The rest greeted her in return. “Prince Mharl, please read the royal etiquettes.” The king called when the queen was done with her overview of the family meeting.

“Hej, hon.” Marie answered as she walked into the hallway to enter her classroom. You read my message?” There was a pause on the other line. The prince's assistant opened the door and motioned for him to hear the news. Prince Mharl became anxious as soon as he heard who had arrived at that hour. Marie waited for the answer on her phone. “Hon, what’s wrong?" She heard whispers and the sound of walking. “I am sorry, darling. I have to leave because something came up. Call me later.” The prince hurried to his room and left his phone on the bed. Then he went to the ground floor. “Prince Mharl, come here.” His mother, the queen called him when he approached the drawing room in the ground floor. “Princess Sharl is here and her parents, the queen.” The prince turned right and made a bow to the queen and the princess. “Glad that you visit here.” He said as he was startled a bit by the visit. “This is a surprise. You did not tell me that today is what you mean in your last message.” Q

Marie ate four loaves with butter silently. The silence suddenly made her want to go home right away. Again, tears ran from her eyes and she felt pain in them from crying too much before she tried to sleep. Her eyes were lumpy, but she was afraid her colleagues would wake up if she cried loudly. The majority of them ignored her when she passed them from the living room and the kitchen, while only a few just nodded with fake smiles. Her instincts told her that they were fake smiles and gestures. Marie talked to God in silence. “Father, if this is Your chastisement for me, help me to carry them. Help me face them. Please give me the strength to bear this pain. Who am I anyway? My childhood brought pain as bullies greeted me everywhere. They came whether from my own siblings, family, friends, and enemies who laughed when they saw when I was in pain. I was always crying and would sit on one of the branches of the tree, looking at the lush greenery as a haven. Then, You gave me the respon
The Pianist's Stunning Violets Chapter 43 - Love Comes Softly
“I'm not sure what to do, Lord.” Marie stooped as she prayed. While she looked up at the facade of the school from her terrace on the second floor, she hugged her knees. After the breakup, she didn't mingle with her colleagues; it was obvious they avoided her as well. It wasn't known what she would do next. It was the prince who decided to finish everything for the sake of his family. Even though something had happened, Marie was able to get up, eat her food, and communicate with her family. She was able to see the live coverage in both the castle and Malacañang early this morning. “They cry for justice, Father. Protesters from my country said something rude to the highnesses and other Filipinos here. Though I am still safe but now experiencing something strange treatment. Danish protesters, too, wanted me to leave. Thank you to the royal police, officers, and guards here.” Marie’s silently prayed while still looking at the entrance to the school near the gate.

"That's why I am heavy with this. Thanks to the piano. Since she was a child, she disciplined herself not to cry except for some emotional moments or instances and for painful journeys. While opening her laptop, before coming to the office of the school to formally give her resignation, she heard the other rooms a few walks away. “What’s happening?” Marie’s thoughts were distracted for a while. She then checked her clock on the bedside table. It was 10:00 on Friday morning. Their first week of vacati

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.

“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
The Pianist's Stunning Violets Chapter 57 - At The Museum
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 Pianist's Stunning Violets Chapter 54 - At The Hospital
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."

The Pianist's Stunning Violets Chapter 53 - A Journey with Sophia
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’
The Pianist's Stunning Violets Chapter 52- The Return
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
