It Might Be You... Who Knows...Sequel Story: The King and I (Will start at Chapter 537)Continuation..................hhhmmm.....refresh..................alleluia..............
After sending Jean to his room, Tonette quickly comes back at the dining table happy to see the rest of the guys waiting for her. She signals the entire servants present at the dining room to leave and come back after two hours. Then after, she requests for Kangin and the rest to come closer and this is what she has to say…
Tonette: Mr. Kangin, listen let’s wait for Prince Brutus to come – I believe he now knows of my
arrival and would probably be here tomorrow to insist about the stupid marriage
arrangement. I have a plan. Don’t tell Jean about his noble background – wait for my
signal. I have his insignia – I will use it as my last alas when it comes to the last bargaining
part of the deal. Please hide the wooden chest box temporarily – all will be disclosed and
declared in due time, ok?
Kangin: Yes, Ms. Tonette. By the way, do we have to remain addressing you as Miss or the
Princess?
Tonette: hhmm yeah, good question.... well, I apologize. I believe you need to get used to it for the
meantime – only because we are inside the castle but outside this palace when we get
back – call me Ms. Tonette…
Kangin: Yes, Princess Tonette…
Tonette: (smugs) eeewww… not so good to hear coming from your mouth… I feel terrible… (and
laughs)..Sorry, I am just joking. Sounds so formal – I am not used to it myself… So go now
and sleep – let’s wait tomorrow for what happens…
Kangin and his companions bow to Tonette. When out of her sight, Tonette secretly goes to Jean’s room – as agreed, Jean left the door open – so she quietly entered and locks the door. Finds to see Jean sleeping soundly – thinking that way – she smiles and lowers her head to kiss Jean’s forehead but squeals in surprise when Jean – who apparently isn’t in deep sleep yet – grabs her face and kiss her lips instead.
Tonette: (giggles) My, my, you’re bad… very naughty (slaps Jean’s arms and laughs)… So how
are you? Did you wait too long? (who now lies beside Jean facing and embracing the
latter)
Jean: (sighs) Too long… I think I am going crazy here alone… but I am happy now that you are
here – this place is just so big that it scares me. I miss my small house… I hope we can go
back as soon as possible… (caresses Tonette’s back) Just the two of us… I hope you can
handle to manage my lifestyle – I am not a prince just a commoner but I can make you
happy like no other…
Tonette: (caresses Jean’s face and kisses his lips) hhhmm… yeah I know… but we have a problem
to solve Hon – it is about my impending arranged marriage that we don’t wish to happen…
right?
Jean: (just remembers) oh yeah… what about that?
Tonette: (worries) I believe if he sees you – crap, he'll probably declare in-house war - aaahhh...
(shakes her head) troublesome... troublesome... – (stares at the ceiling) so I am thinking
of a plan. Hon, please be prepared, ok? By the way, do you have any hobbies or skills
you are excellent at? Mind telling me…
Jean: (wonders) Seriously?
Tonette: (sighs) Over our lovely dead bodies – that serious my dear…now tell me… coz I might just
have a plan…
Jean: (looks at Tonette) what is your plan?
Tonette: hhhmmm... A Battle of Excellence… so that I am asking you, what sports, hobbies, or
skills are you good at…you get what I mean...?
Jean: Ok. Painting, Singing, Running, Archery, Fencing, hhmmm… what else … yeah….
Cooking…
Tonette: Alright, I will make notes of those… Hon, kindly get me a pen and a pad ... it is over there
(points at the corner where a side table and chair are located) ...
Jean: (surprised by Tonette’s actions, holds both of her hands for a stop) Please, can you just
stay for just a little while, please? hold on, I will get them...just hold on for a minute... (goes
to the table, opens it and gets what Tonette has requested, goes back to the bed and gives
the items to her)
Tonette: Thanks sweetie... (starts to write) hhmmm... I know what this brutus guy are
good at; mostly physical stuffs like; lifting objects - what's fun in that?, sword fight,
hunting… etc… all those sort of things… and you (puts her pointer finger on Jean's nose
tip) by informing me of your skills – we will surely have a chance - a big chance… (readies
to leave – kisses Jean’s cheek) Ok, bye sweetie. You need to rest in preparation for
tomorrow’s quest for success – whatever you may call it…
Jean: (whines and pouts) Hon, you have not stayed long... aaiisshh...
Tonette: (smiles and sighs) but sweetie, ok only for a little while… (lies back to bed and caught in a
surprise when Jean’s sits on her hip part) Sweetie, what are you doing – why are you
seated on top of my tummy?
Jean: (smiles slyly) the better to see you with my dear…
Tonette: (chuckles) Sweetie, why do you stretch your lips like that?
Jean: (laughs) the better to eat you all up my dear…
Tonette: (laughs out loud) Gross… you beast… ha ha ha!! Geez that is what I am talking about –
whatever mischievous deeds you have underneath your skin… sly one…
Jean: Sometimes if necessity comes – the wily side of me lurks… (winks and dives at Tonette)
The next day, true to what Tonette and the Queen, her mother, predicted – her fiancé arrives. Prince Brutus, who exactly is a person you would want to marry if in dire need of a financial help otherwise – forget about it. His family is also vastly affluent – but still Tonette’s family are far more richer. The reason of their arranged marriage is basically due to the concern of K. Philip over her daughter’s welfare which made him agree on the first place despite Tonette and Q. Margret protests.
Thus, Prince Brutus asks for Tonette…
P. Brutus: Good day His Majesty King Philip and Queen Margret, I have learned that your daughter
arrived. I am very happy to hear that. So for the reason that she’s back – I presumed she
wasn’t able to find someone worthy of her life, that being said, perhaps we can now
proceed with the wedding plans (just as he speaks the next word, Tonette shows up in a
beautiful dress that becomes her which makes Prince Brutus ghosting in a pretty delightful
vision)
Tonette: (walks elegantly and irks when she sees the ridiculous stares of Prince Brutus) Hold your
horses Prince Brutus – I found the man worthy of my life. Please do not think that you are
better than all men existing in this world. I hope you can find it in your mind to realize that.
P. Brutus: (with no idea what Tonette was talking says) I will be the only one worthy of your life. If
you think I am not – then present him to me so I can see. There are ways we to know how
worthy and capable a man should be for a princess like you... Princess Marie Antoinette.
Tonette: (after hearing those words, irks and says in her mind, “just as I expected, everything will
come to this” stays calm and says) He will be here in a little while but for the meantime,
we may all gather at the banquet area to celebrate and welcome your hi-highly (coughs)
presence Prince Brute, I mean Brutus…(in her mind she says, “eeewww disgustingly
disgusting”)
