The Prince & I: The Prince & I Season 1 - 5
Elsa, You're so Sweet, Everyone Loves Sweet Things..
Rey had expected, a moment like this would happen. He and Joy have discussed every scenario, every Elsa means, including this one. A worst possibility.
Rey could have refused. Rey could have stood up, put her feet up before saying firmly, "But I don't love you. Sorry, good bye." And finished.
But that way is not elegant. Joy said, Elsa is a princess. Although she is not in power here, in her country she is the daughter of a real king, and diplomatic relations between Evertonia and Eversnow will heat up when news of this painful rejection comes out.
Rey's father will be furious, imagine, not yet approved it is enough to be considered to fight for daring to date breaking the law, especially now a real princess has put her heart. It could be that Rey will be immediately pingit like a descendant of the king of antiquity. Not funny, if there is a prince locked in the tower, there is also the term bule damsel-in-distress, not prince-in-distress aka the crown prince in lara?
Rey tried to stay calm. Silent a thousand languages, giving the sweetest smile and the gaze of the eyes shaded, which always makes a girl snatch.
"This is. Promise me, I won't say No or no. Listen first, here's a picture of how I feel about you." she said slowly and carefully.
Yes, yes, yes, continue. The devil on Elsa's left shoulder danced with excitement, knowing Rey would answer Yes or yes in the end.
"Elsa is a beautiful girl who is perfect, kind, sweet and needed by everyone. Very liked, very special, very important. Like the main groceries and drinks in this kitchen," Rey picked up a small urn on the table filled with sugar for drinks, "Like this important and sweet sugar."
Elsa's heart is blossoming. He said I was sweet as sugar? Oh so sweet. It means he likes me too. I thought Rey would like me and leave Joy.
"I don't think sugar is my favorite, even though it's important and sweet, so I'll just put this urn down, and finish my coffee without a single sweet giver." Rey finished her drink and stood up. He called the waiter and gave him payment money plus tips.
"Finished is my answer, and I didn't even say NO or NO, did I?"
Elsa flabbergasted. Gosh darn. How amazing Rey's parable game is. He was lifted up high first, said to be sweet and important, but in the end was returned to the coffee table without being used at all. Not slammed but just laid. Not using the word no.
"But, even if you've never had a lifetime of coffee or sugary foods, surely you still need sugar, right?" he's still trying to hold Rey.
"Oh, of course. But everyone has their own favorites and choices. To taste, unfortunately, sweet is not my first choice."
Uh. Oh. Elsa's face flushed. He stood up. But he didn't want to look angry let alone in this elegant makeup, so he tried to stay as sweet as sugar, "Alright, so you don't need sugar right now, but trust me someday you'll feel the sweet taste of someone like me. I'm leaving now, but you know how I feel, and I'll be waiting for you." she whispered fondly near Rey's ear.
"Behold, Joy is so innocent and bland, not as special as I am. When you're tired of the bland, come to me..."
