The Prince & I: The Prince & I Season 1 - 5
Third Man
"Eits !! Princess Zoy !! Don't be happy!"
"Already I thought, the two evil princesses Chelsea and Velove wouldn't let go of me just like that." Joy said with a sigh.
Just got into the dressing room after 'shooting' the Royal Games of Love and won a ticket to the final tomorrow plus a candlelight dinner later tonight with Prince Rey, Joy is back under the shadow of a beautiful but evil duo who unceasingly intimidate Joy to let go of her desire to get Prince Rey, the cute but super cute Prince. It's just, their motivation is somehow, not out of love, yes, Joy feels Chelsea and Velove instead want to be queen out of love. But I don't know! Clearly, they are very insistent and justify all means.
"Foreign princess from an unknown strange state, you don't know who we are yet! We have all the power to remove you from the face of the earth, if you will. Prince Rey will give you the most difficult test that any princess can rarely pass, which was held decades ago. Rey's father alone who inexplicably bothered Rey's mother from nowhere, but although the origin is unclear, he is still the candidate for the sole king, the successor to the throne. And we, one of us, are the future queen. You better be wise a little, just go before you get humiliated by the rest of the world, ha ha ha ha ha."
The two princesses once again clutched Joy's shoulders, whispering the words, "On your date tonight, beware that you dare mess with Rey. Do you want your cheeks to be deeply hurt, scratched by our fake nails? Haha."
"Goodbye !! Remember, give up if you want to survive !!!" Both of them passed with wide strides while curling their tongues and laughing crazily.
"Original princess, beautiful face, cheap girl style !!"
Joy still felt a pain in her shoulder. "Rey can't get any of these duo. Not because I'm jealous. But, I don't think their intentions are good."
"Rey certainly did not want the future queen of these princesses. He won't vote for them, but if they win either by MC or by the audience or whatever affects the final result, Rey may be unable to do anything. Ah, no !! I have to win !!"
Joy is sure, Rey knows she's not a quittering tomboy. Not the weak kind of girl like in school days.
"Mama must always watch me on television with her friends, I want her to be proud. His coat of arms is a future king, though Rey doesn't want to be king. Anyway, that's not what my mom likes. Mama likes Rey because Rey is nice, polite and funny. It looks like my papa. And I will keep that good young man for my mama, not because of his nature alone, but because we love each other."
"Uh, how to remember last night's dream. Shame too, dream of a honeymoon or something. Is that a future revelation? Is my husband Rey? I'm really impatient. Later that night, come back with Rey and eat like we used to cook at home! Uh, gotta look beautiful. Must look interesting!"
That evening Joy was escorted to a gazebo in a royal garden decorated beautifully with a lot of candles and lanterns, decorated full of fresh red roses fragrant as sparkles, and, facing the vast royal lake where hundreds of white swans clutched freely. Next to the gazebo, the string quartet band in a beautiful uniform plays a romantic instrumental song.
Palace life is as amazing as in a fairyland. Anything that humans dream of is here, which usually only exists in the imagination.
"The golden cage that many people coveted, including me used to." thought Joy rather sadly. Rey is certainly restrained, lonely, uncomfortable with a future that is certainly guaranteed.
"Daughter Zoy. You've come !!" Prince Rey arrived shortly afterwards.
Realizing that they are not just the two of them, but there are TV crews and cameramen following for the purposes of filming Royal Games of Love, Joy who had been feeling excited, a little disappointed. It's not a private date. Rey was still wearing her sunglasses, so Joy could not see the sexy squinty eyes she missed so much.
Prince Rey kissed the back of his hand and took him to the dining table.
But it turned out pretty good too. Prince Rey politely and formally withdrew a chair for him. They sat face to face, and Prince Rey lavishly catered to their date with a noble ethic such as in movies, pouring drinks, offering and fetching a variety of delicious appetizers for Joy, and make Joy amazed by how polite she is at the dining table. Unlike when they ate at Joy's house where they ate by hand, cuek poked chili and ketchup with hot fries full of butter and drank homemade lemon tea. Here Rey really like a scholar, showing a variety of cutlery and knives with their respective functions, as if a little 'tutorial' to Joy. "It's a tablespoon, it's a dessert spoon, it's a soup spoon, it's... "Joy staggering. "Rey or not this guy in front of me?"
They eat well, even under the camera. It turns out that he misses Rey, Joy hardly cares and they can still joke around with each other as usual without a scenario. It's just, it feels less friendly, so formal and not free, Joy sometimes afraid of the wrong move and worried about nudging dishes and crystal glasses to break!
"Why do I want more of this, can feed you, or wipe the ketchup and chili sauce on your lips with tissue paper like I used to. But here there are a lot of people, and we can only talk like old friends who haven't met." Joy's mind was sad.
"Your mama's okay? Give my regards to him."
"Of course, thank you."
"I'm glad you're here. I hope you too."
"Yes, of course, Rey, oh sorry, Your Honor."
"Uh," Joy doesn't feel comfortable, it doesn't seem like a romantic date like in her shadow.
"Sorry, Princess Zoy, if you don't mind, someone will join us." Prince Rey is standing up. The crew hurriedly added one more seat between them.
"What, who else did she invite to this date?" inner Joy began to suspect.
"Haiii. "greet a Princess. Prince Rey kissed the back of his hand and also pulled a chair for him.
Joy speechless. "God. Chelsea's? What's up and why is he here?"
