The Prince & I: The Prince & I Season 1 - 5
Sunflowers Don't Grow Alone...
"Well, well, well, three beautiful women and my son. Who else? Evertonia today is challenged by the mighty woman and the Son of King Baru Gede who does not want to hear the words of his own parents?" King Frederick began to feel uneasy.
"Dad, this is a small gift from me, I found it outside our garden..." Rey approached King Frederick. In his hand was a Sunflower.
"This flower is not so pretty, yes, right. But he managed to thrive thanks to sunlight and rain water, also in time he not only fell to the earth like other flowers. It will produce many seeds that can be planted again into other flowers. It is a wildflower and not specially cared for by gardeners, but very obedient. He followed the journey of the sun until it sank in the twilight, then waited faithfully until it rose again the next morning."
"Yet, the whole of Evertonia is still behind me. No one is with you, very alone away from Evernesia." King Frederick smiled wryly.
"We are Rey and Joy's witnesses and representatives." In addition to the presence of Princess Agnez and Duo Yin Yang, Rey's guests suddenly appear at the wedding including Boss Bee and MC Mr. Broccoli.
"Uhh... What the fuck is this? Rey, did you invite them?" King Frederick was cornered.
"No. We exist because we want to say, Sunflowers are not alone. Just like all women in the world, she needs love. And his love is needed, and can only be given by Prince Rey."
"And I am not the Rose of Father" whispered Rey, leaving before King Frederick. "I prefer my heartfelt Matahari to the roses of luxury. I beg you to resign and withdraw from all matters of state, apologize, Father Your Majesty, if my marriage is not pleasing to your heart. I was ready to sow the Sunflowers in our own small and simple garden in Evernesia. We're back, Joy."
"Tu, tu, wait.. " King Frederick had not yet willing his chess pieces to be disconnected Rey. "I'm not finished! Stay here, it's a command, not a request!"
Mayvelina is advancing again. "Ups, Rey my son, it's okay, ignore him, go home. My king, we better reminisce in the rose garden, like we were two decades ago. Let our son begin his new life."
"Your Majesty, they are legitimate. We can't do anything about it. After all, as long as you are still in office and do not want to abdicate, Rey can not replace without a clear reason. It takes time and experience. A king is not just a descendant. But from experience. We consider Rey unfit to be king. King Frederick must have known too, though long ago you became king because of the death of His Majesty King Xavier, Your own Father."
"Uhhhh. okay. Rey, this isn't over. My chess moves were still there before I died. So, get ready for all possibilities.
You're going home again. This time, alone. And forever."
The middle-aged king was stunned, closing the hearing, while Mayvelina soon followed suit, hoping that her ex-husband would not do anything stupid anymore.
"Dad..." Rey was a little relieved, but also sad because she had not received blessing.
I'm sorry, Dad. I'll prove if I can be more than you, certainly without having to part with Joy. With Joy by my side, I definitely can!
"Rey, let's go back. We start our lives in the house of Evernesia." Joy asked.
"We're always there for you!" cheers from friends and family.
Yep, yeah. My sunflower, you are inspiration and strength. We begin our new life in Evernesia. The story of our little family and all the little things first, which will bloom beautifully.
