They were going to be married in three hours, but the prince did not even bother to come and speak to her.At 9:00 in the morning at Copenhagen's Roskilde Cathedral, Marie was in her lace and satin ivory gown while Prince Mharl wore his Danish military uniform. It was covered live, and the whole universe knew about that special occasion. The Philippine president and the first lady of Marie’s country came to Denmark for her wedding. The relationship between Denmark and the Philippines has been repaired. Finally, the cold war ended, and Marie was happy to bring light to her fellowmen.Meanwhile, only the loyal and trusted staff of the castle knew the true identity of the prince, thus Marie's real background. The queen miraculously regained her health on the day of the wedding. The prince did his best, which was to follow his parents.After two and a half hours, the wedding was over, and the happy couple was on their way to Amalienborg Palace. They were in the middle of the road, headed f
“This room is amazing and breathtaking. Fill with vast archives of documents and artifacts neatly stacked in museum collection storage. What is that smallest thing on the small bottle?” Prince Mharl exclaimed silently that almost coming out loudly from his mouth that moved a bit while the king and queen were talking to the excellency of the Philippines, President Reynam Devam. Of course, he knew them all. Is not art one of his favorite subjects now at Tranegårdskolen school in Denmark? The Presidential Security Group (PSG), uniformed men, and maids were everywhere. Suddenly, he turned his head as if a compass trying to form a circle. He found everyone was preoccupied. He got up from his chair slowly, stretched his legs as he took some tiny steps, and stood confidently while mimicking other visitors curiously looking at things deeply at first sight. That was partly true, but the real reason was that boredom took him in a few hours already as he sat alone on a mahogany pastel couch in a
Another letter of invitation from the Malacañang Palace arrived at the royal castle in Denmark. This was the second invitation they received a few years ago when they went there to give help. Soon, the royals were in the palace again. Now, the president wanted them to see some of the major changes that happened in the area. As they walked farther, they were all amazed except for Prince Mharl, who was not in the mood to talk and his mind flew back to the castle. In his senior year, he was the one to lead the group in their class, and besides his crush was there. This made him want to go home right away rather than join the trip to the Philippines again. They turned right. A glass door automatically opened and the four guards were at their post at the entrance to meet them. Now, the president stood still suddenly, bowed his head, and gestured for everyone to enter. They were now in the dining hall overlooking the river and the garden on the other side. “Prince Mharl, why not look at t
Marie was in deep thought as she tried to find her things. She was in her melancholic mood. More than a decade already after she left Iloilo for good. “If only I can go back to Iloilo now. I, perhaps still enjoy seeing the greenery, playing games, and talking with my friends and relatives. But my parents are here. They love their work. We are four in the family now. Hard to be the eldest. I need to finish my assignments, so I can watch my siblings outside.” Marie thought while looking for her notebooks. She reached them together with her books at the upper part of the shelf, and an envelope appeared which was full of papers. She decided to arrange them. Then, she smiled when she saw a few pictures on the folded paper. She vividly remembered everything. In San Miguel, Barotac Viejo, Iloilo, the place where she spent her childhood years, she and Lou had memories she treasured now and then. “I have enough. Want to add? Look at the other branches,” Marie urged Lou, her bestfriend, who a
“Marie!” She heard the loud call that became nearer as her mother approached where she was. "I have good news to tell." She turned to see Mar in her favorite chair in the library near the piano. Your aunt Shiela is already in Denmark.” “What! Really? How did that happen? Marie inquisitively asked while walking briskly toward her mother. Oh! I am happy for her. That was her dream even before when she was still in the province. Mother, that was too far for us though.” “Don’t worry your aunt is strong, independent, and courageous. She is ready for her housekeeping job. Her determination gives her an edge to pursue everything. She promised to help you in your college though you are a scholar. “I will watch her in her old age. No matter what, I will get Aunt She. I’ll take care of her.” One day, Shiela called Lan. “My couple boss was the owner of some hotels in Denmark and a relative of the royal family. They are nice, friendly, accommodating, and thoughtful. Don’t worry, I feel at hom
While doing the laundry, Marie’s thoughts were back on the conversation made by Mrs. Grace Reyes. With the bible in hand, Grace asked her, “Are you familiar with John 3:16?” “Yeah!” “But do you understand what that verse is all about?” “It says that God loved the world that He gave Jesus Christ, His only son and we will not be in condemnation but have eternal life.” “That’s true. You know what God is the creator of heaven and earth. He made us and all the things in the world. But one day, Adam and Eve, our first parents, sinned. God drove them away from the garden of Eden. He warned Adam and Eve not to touch or eat the fruit in the middle of the garden as it is written in the book of Genesis. But the couple was tempted by the serpent which is the devil. Because of that, their eyes were opened, and they understood what they did. We inherited those sins from them and like them we were bound to hell when we die. The good news, however, is in this verse that God gave His only Son, Jes
“He was so cute, handsome, and perfect.” Irene giggled as she opened her cellphone and pointed Prince Mharl to Marie. “Yeah! I knew that already. His name is everywhere since they were here for two events last time. Girls are on their feet running just to see him.” “Wait. Where is Joe? I have not seen him in a while. "Do you two have an LQ?" Irene teased Marie and tried to lift her spirits. "He is currently working on his project in Cubao. His Bachelor of Electrical Engineering course gives him an edge to do electrical wiring." “Now let’s talk about your crushes. These French fries are so yummy. After this, let’s eat ice cream again. “ Marie drank her bottled water and smiled, "I can't finish another set since..." “You eat small amounts and that's why you're thin.". Keep on eating. After the ice cream let’s go to McDonald's." “What?” As the two walked near the palace's river and ate ice cream in cones together when Irene visited her one day, they kept heading outside to buy the
“Why on earth am I thinking about that girl in the Philippines? She was quiet when we had our first meeting, and when we had our second one. And why she lied that she did not remember me. "In Singapore, she was still aloof and timid." The prince sighed in his deep thoughts as he stared at the trees he created on the canvas hanging in his dad's entryway. "Prince Mharl, let's have a talk." The king motioned to the prince to sit in the chair near the queen, who wore her favorite emerald dress, watched them both, and later focused on her only son. She missed how innocent he used to be. With the remote control in his hand, the king opened the TV screen in the center, which had been used as a mini stage for meetings in his office. The king's office looked like a curtain when not opened, but now it was a sight to behold. With doubts on his mind, he analyzed why his parents called him. “Yes, my highnesses.” "Focus on your journey and see it clearly. Look at your mom’s belly when you were s
