The Marrying The Prince

08

The clothes that the Vlada Kingdom prepared for Jane were not as bad as she had expected. The waiter has provided a thick but smooth short dress that is hung on the front door of the wardrobe. The dress is plain and light brown. Short heels are also provided in matching color with the dress on the floor. Both look new.

Jane put on the dress and immediately liked it. His shoes fit perfectly on his feet. Instantly, she felt like Cinderella was circling in front of a mirror.

Then, he ran and jumped onto the big bed where he was going to sleep tonight. It's fun if nothing weighs on the mind. All he wanted right now was to relax. The woman closed her eyes, trying to enjoy living in the magnificent and beautiful palace.

🏰🏰🏰🏰🏰

The knock on the door jumped the shoulder of Jane who had just woken up from her sleep. He opened the door. There was a waiter who brought him down for lunch. Feeling her strength had recovered, Jane followed the waiter down the stairs and into the dining room.

Fruits and scenery on the walls. Large plate cabinets also decorate the room.

At the end of the long dining table for 10 people, it was waiting for Phillip who hurriedly stood up as soon as he saw Jane. "Will you accompany me to lunch?" tanyanya politely.

"Absolutely," Jane replied, fascinated by the look of the dishes available. Roasted chicken, turkey salad, mashed potatoes, and fruits.

"Please take a seat," Phillip pointed to the seat to his right. "You look beautiful" she said.

Jane felt nervous being praised like that despite knowing Phillip was just making small talk. He took his place next to the man.

Phillip just sat down after Jane. The polite man extended his hand. "We pray first" he asked.

"Oh... Yeah, of course," Jane took Phillip's hand. He never prayed before eating. In fact, he only went to church at Christmas and Easter. She's so embarrassed.

"We are grateful for the food served at this table, Lord. Bless those who have provided it, and bless this food to be a source of strength for us. Amen."

"Amin" said Jane.

"Shall we?"

Jane nodded. He took enough food on his plate, not wanting to overdo it because he realized he was not in his own house. Usually he can spend half a roast chicken with a bowl of mashed potatoes. This time, he did not dare to do so.

"You don't take the salad?" ask Phillip.

"It's actually an interesting shape, but I don't really like vegetables" Jane said.

"You gotta eat vegetables, Jane."

"I know, but I'm not scared," Jane shrugged.

"You should be skinny."

"Hey!" jane protest. "Didn't men prefer thin women?"

"Not really," Phillip said as he chewed the chicken. "I certainly want my wife to be sexy, but not skinny." She laughs.

"If I was sexy, would you be interested? Uh..." Jane shut her mouth. He really wanted to retract his words because the spontaneous sentence seemed like a temptation. Now he cursed himself. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"Sure," cut Phillip. The man smiled.

Ofof course? Sure what? Of course Jane is forgiven or of course Phillip would be interested? The confusing answer. Jane wanted to know the continuation, but there was no way she would ask. "If you may know, what are your activities?" tanyanya changed the topic.

"Every morning I read and answered a letter from the public addressed to the kingdom. Then, I usually represent the royal family to meet with the foreign dignitaries" Phillip replied.

"That's when I just got here, you were answering those letters in your study?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"If you're so busy, then what are your mom and dad doing?"

"We are not only friends and cooperating with several countries, but a lot. We always share the tasks that will be scheduled every week. Carrie, the woman who brought you here, she's the one who set my schedule and made sure everything went well. Each one of us has someone like him."

"Where are you going after this?"

Phillip shook his head. "Fortunately the British Prime Minister postponed our meeting, so that I can accompany you here" he said.

Jane smiled. "What about Tom?" I don't want him to ask because there is curiosity. Considering Thomas wasn't behaving like a prince at Jill's party, drunk in the ladies' room, Jane thought Thomas lacked activity.

"As I said, Tom is busy with humanitarian work. He visited the war refugees as well as the children's hospital. He even donated his entire income to disaster victims in various countries."

"Prince Thomas Geller has arrived!" exclaimed the palace's doorkeeper from outside.

"Jane Watson" called a man who had just entered the dining room.

Phillip and Jane immediately turned to the source of the voice. They found a handsome man who was being talked about.

"Rossing about me?" ask Thomas. The man was wearing a suit, complete with a shirt and tie. He approached the two men at the dinner table. "It looks delicious," he said as he glanced at the roasted chicken piece, picked it up, then ate it.

"Tom, you're back" Phillip said.

"Yes, brother. How you doing, Jane?" Thomas looked at Jane.

Jane stood up, wanting to shake hands with Thomas. That led Phillip to stand up. "good. You alone?" his reply.

"Lady Grace has arrived!" exclaimed the palace's doorman, again.

"Oh, great!" aspersons Thomas.

"Jane," call Grace. The middle-aged woman looked neat with a work blouse, combined with her knee-length blazer and skirt. His smile is friendly and motherly.

"Lady Grace," Jane bent her knees and bowed to pay her respects. "So nice to see you again."

"You too's. How are you, dear?"

"My news is good, My Lady."

"Phillip," said Grace.

"Aunt Grace's. What brings you here?" ask Phillip.

"Of course Jane."

"Me?" Jane doesn't understand.

"I canceled my meeting this afternoon just to see you. Does anyone explain why Jane's here?" Grace looked at Jane, Phillip, and Thomas alternately.

"Oh, Aunt Grace, it's because of me" Phillip answered truthfully. "I'm the one who brought him here."

"Can you tell me more details?"

"I asked Carrie to take care of Jane's pick-up from New York until she got here this morning. Take it easy, Aunt Grace, Jane's been showering and having lunch with me."

"That's not what I'm worried about, but..." Grace's gaze turned to her son. "Thomas Geller" he said.

Thomas didn't like it when his mother called him by his full name. That means he will be scolded. "What, Mother?"

"Why didn't you bring Jane here?"

"Why should I?" Thomas asked back.

"Because you're her future fiance."

"Wait..." Jane tried to explain.

"I've rejected it" Thomas cut.

"Yes, that time..."

"You have to rethink, Tom," Grace debated.

"Aunt Grace, I guess..." Phillip mediates.

"Shut it, Phillip!" prevent Thomas. "Mother, I don't want to think about that right now."

"Then, what about Jane? He's come all the way here" asked Grace.

"I'm not..." Jane tried to answer.

"Phillip kidnapped her. He can do anything with him" Thomas replied unconcernedly.

"Thomas!" pekik Grace glared at her son. He stepped forward to Thomas. "If anything happens to her, you're responsible!"

Thomas took a deep breath. "I don't want to discuss this, Mother, at least not now" he said calmly.

"Lady Grace, I'm so sorry" Jane said. He managed to lower the tension of Grace who turned to look at him. "If it gets complicated like this, I'll be home tomorrow."

"No, dear. We're the ones who have to apologize to you," Grace placed her hand on Jane's cheek, admiring the ginger-haired beauty. "Stay in my palace, Jane," he asked.

"That's right!" thomas protest.

"No more objections, Tom. You must obey my words!" grace resolute. The sharp look in his eyes felt piercing.

"If I may speak, Aunt Grace." Phillip said. "Jane stays here."

"Yes! Support me, Phillip, "take Thomas. "Please."

Phillip glanced at Thomas. "I brought Jane Watson to my palace not without purpose. When I heard about the match between Tom and Jane, I felt like I had to meet her. However, after they rejected each other, I was interested in volunteering to be Jane's fiancee" Phillip smiled confidently.

"What?" Now Jane is glaring.
