The Prince & I: The Prince & I Season 1 - 5
"Roses or Sunflowers?"
Joy could barely close her eyes that night. For the rest of his life he had never faced anything like this. Indeed, he had competed against four noble daughters alone at the Evertonia palace some time ago. But tomorrow he will come face to face with the King of Evertonia, His Majesty King Frederick, his new father-in-law whom he has never even met for a lifetime. He was not yet recognized and he was not yet acquainted.
According to Agnez and Yin Yang, he was a very firm and slightly fearsome figure. Not the kind of paternal middle-aged man. Shown in the eyes of minus Joy, the figure of Hit Lerr and the world leader Ever in the war time of the ancient world. What if his marriage with the Prince of Evertonia triggered the third Ever world war? Would he and Rey have sinned so much if so many lives had been lost to the Evernesian-Evertonian war?
"Are you Joy, aren't you asleep yet?" Rey apparently did not fall asleep, seeing Joy just sitting dumbly on the side of the bed. That night Joy did not wear a nightgown, just pajamas, because the new AC in their room was very cold. Unlike Rey who is bare-chested and only wears knee-length pants.
"I, yes, I, I'm still stubbornly thinking about what we should do tomorrow." Joy acknowledged the burden in her heart.
Rey sat down and leaned against the cot, inviting Joy to lean by her side as well. "And I told you, now it's not like it used to be, we're all dealing with it together. Because in the Royal Games I could not stand by you, and you faced all alone, until you finally won fairly. Fair and square. This time it's different. The husbands should be able to be together, no matter what." Rey whispered as she gently stroked Joy's reddish-brown hair.
"You're sure we'll succeed in softening your father's heart?"
"Yes, I'm sure. We certainly can. We pray and try."
"alright. Rey is so sure and I am too. I feel more relieved now."
"Ha ha ha, thank goodness. Um. One more, my dear. Tonight, don't wear pajamas like this dong, you're no longer sleeping alone" Rey codes while pretending to snack.
"Uh, this mode... I-i know. Yes, run out, cold sighh..."
"Here, I make it warm."
Then without much further ado, Rey turned off the bedside lamp and pulled the blanket up.
"Uhh, Rey, look out for you, don't be naughty."
And they disappeared behind the night until the morning, late in the exploration of love that will never be satisfied.
The next day the world of Ever was again thrown into an uproar. The Evertonian Royal Plane landed at Evernesia Main Airport, ready to pick up newlywed couple Prince Rey and Princess Joy (the princess status is now attached due to marriage, not due to heredity.)
"Prince Rey has finally resurfaced after a horrendous neon display photo circulated in cyberspace and the real world!" some of the media are blowing up the news. "They came to the palace riding in a royal limo and wearing white-gold official royal uniforms. About what will happen? Watch this live broadcast only from Evertonia TV !!!"
All the press crew began to swarm around the palace, welcoming the return of Prince Rey and his wife. They waited impatiently for the moment of the Crown Prince's presence, who was said to be ready to face his father.
A stage was ready in the palace courtyard. There stood waiting for the figure of the number one man Evertonia, surrounded by the main elders and of course all Rey's relatives. Ms. Mayvelina, the duo of Yin Yang and Princess Agnez were also present in support of Rey.
"We have to stand together to defend Rey and Joy! We support them together!" thus the four families and friends of Rey-Joy's couple are determined beforehand
"Roses or Sunflowers? Today, in this place, we make our choice about the fate of our country, Evertonia! Who are you defending? Rebel Crown Prince who opposes the rest of this kingdom or King Frederick who has desperately defended the laws of this country in order to remain enforced?" King Frederick opened his speech to the press.
"Yahanda Your Majesty, I'm coming. Rose or Sunflower? Let's decide this moment. Introduce, Father, the Sunflower outside our rose garden that I found and chose, I picked with my own hands. Princess Joy of Evernesia."
All the eyes of the audience and the reporters spontaneously looked towards the voice of the authoritative young man.
"Prince Rey !!!"
