SCENES FROM THE FAREWELL FEAST
1. 1st dance: Daichi: You look so beautiful! I love you so much. Nadia: I love you too.
2. Kwento: Are you hurt, Mama? Should we stop? Idara: No, you little brother or sister is just straining my back a little.
3. Sundari: You know the dancing is inside. Sunjay: I know, I just wanted to get some air. Sundari: You know, Princess Akira is looking lovely tonight… Sunjay: Mother, when I said ‘I just wanted to get some air’, I meant to avoid this conversation. Sundari: I don’t get it, Akira is such a nice girl, I don’t understand why you don’t like her. Sunjay: I do like her, just not that. Trust me Mother, when I find the girl of my dreams it will hit me like lighting.
4. Sunjay walked away and immediately bumped into someone. Girl: I’m sorry, Your Highness. S: We’re stuck on each other. Girl: What? S: A loose thread from your dress is caught on 1 of my buttons. Hold on. Sunjay freed them both. Girl: Thank you, Prince Sunjay! S: It’s not fair, you seem to know my name but I don’t know yours. Girl: Oh, where are my manners? I’m Lady Lorraine of Willow Creek. I’m- S: Baron Claude’s daughter? Lorraine: Yes, that’s right. S: Well, would you like to dance? L: Me? I mean, of course!
5. Akira’s POV: As soon as I could get away, I sought out Fleur and as we walked arm and arm around the grounds, I told her EVERYTHING about the night I got married. Fleur: That’s crazy! Thank goodness you didn’t get pregnant. That would have made everything messier. I was about to say something else when Fleur got distracted by the man passing by. F: Ah, Baron Claude, I was wondering if you could tell why my parents nor my brothers are here tonight? Claude: Good evening, Your Grace. I afraid the royal palace underwent a bad bout of the flu. F: Oh no! Is everyone alright? C: They’re on the road to recovery, yet the doctor deemed them too weak to travel. The king sent me to give his warm wishes to the emperor and check up on his daughter and unborn grandchild. F: Well, you may tell him that we are both doing quite well.
6. As Claude walked away, Fleur turned back to me. F: So, where were we? Before I could say anything, a man came out of seemingly out of nowhere, and slapped Fleur right across her face! A: Why did you do that? Man: She cheated on the king and that baby isn’t his. She admitted it! A: That was Queen Mary, you drunken fool! This is Queen Fleur. All the man could was stare at me and burp as I hugged Fleur to me.
