Prince Bartholomew bent down one knee and without hesitation, he began to sing:
"Fair princess, would you be mine? Your beauty makes me feel warmer than sunshine. And I can't live another araw without you-"
Princess gisantes interrupted. "Yeah, um, hold that thought for a second, would you?" gisantes turned to her mother. "Is he serious?"
"Quite," replied Annalynne.
"I see you're not the romantic duet type," Bartholomew observed. "Alas, you are so beautiful that I am unbothered sa pamamagitan ng this quirk. Come, allow me ipakita you my kingdom."
Suddenly, Bartholomew scooped gisantes up and carried her over to his white horse. He put her on tuktok of it and joined her, signaling her to put his arms around him. They rode off through the gates of the South Kingdom. gisantes was entranced sa pamamagitan ng the beautiful kingdom. There were hundreds of boutiques and clothing stores as well as an amusement park. But when they arrived at the prince's palace, Pea's jaw dropped. It was the most exquisite kastilyo she'd ever laid eyes on. Hand carved from tuktok to bottom, all made of white marble that shone in the daylight. Bartholomew helped gisantes off the horse and took her inside.
"Well, what do you think? I hope you're not put off sa pamamagitan ng the extravagance of it all." sinabi Prince Bartholomew. gisantes was still unsure of how she felt. "Oh, and I hope the clothes my servants picked out for you are to your liking." He showed her to a closet and opened the door. gisantes saw the hundreds of designer gowns and shoes and immediately turned to the prince.
"So," she said, "When do you wanna get hitched?"
The wedding was planned for the susunod afternoon. reyna Annalynne made it clear to the kastilyo staff that she wanted everything to be as expensive and beautiful as possible. gisantes wore a beautiful silk nightgown and crawled into her large bed. She wasn't to see Bartholomew again until the wedding as the traditionalists insisted.
"Knock, knock," reyna Annaylnne entered the room. "Oh, darling, I'm so happy that you're back to being your old self again."
"Huh?" gisantes was intrigued.
"I knew that as long as you saw the fashion and the riches in store for you, you'd agree to marry Prince Bartholomew."
"Well, I don't think I've gone back to being exactly the way I was before I got banished," gisantes was slightly offended. "I mean, sure, I still pag-ibig material things but I treat people better...sometimes..."
"Lucky you don't have to do that anymore," reyna Annalynne winked.
"For the segundo time: Huh?" sinabi Pea.
"You're rich again," reyna Annalynne explained. "I mean, the only reason peasants are polite is because they're on the bottom of the social scale and they have to be. Now that you're on tuktok again, you can go back to your old lifestyle. Isn't that wonderful? Anyway, I'm off to bed. Big araw tomorrow."
Pea didn't sleep that night. All she could think about was Prince Bartholomew and Conrad. Princess gisantes from about a buwan nakaraan would have gladly accepted the prince's proposal without a segundo thought and never ibingiay Conrad the time of day. But as she lay there wondering, gisantes realized that she just wasn't that same girl anymore. She had changed. And then she wondered to herself: Would marrying Bartholomew mean she hasn't learned anything through her entire experience? gisantes considered the facts she knew...she knew that Conrad had mysteriously decided to dump her and she knew that a billionaire prince wanted to marry her and give her everything she ever wanted. So it would make sense for her to go through with the marriage...right?
The susunod morning, the sky was clear and wedding bells were ringing. gisantes was exhausted from her lack of sleep but didn't have much time to make up her mind. The kastilyo staff dressed her in the most expensive and extraordinary wedding toga imaginable. Princess gisantes began to walk down the aisle. Annalynne watched from the front row, contempt with the fact she had convinced gisantes into this, even though she had resorted to trickery sa pamamagitan ng forging the note from Conrad. Prince Bartholomew waited at the end of the aisle, smiling at her. When she reached him, he lifted her into the air and spun her around twice. gisantes decided not to make an outburst about how annoying she thought it was that Bartholomew insisted on carrying her everywhere and spinning her around all the time.
The priest began to deliver the ceremony and the entire crowd of a thousand people watched robotically. Pea's thoughts went elsewhere for a few segundos when she suddenly realized she was being asked a question...
"Princess Peanalita, do you take Prince Bartholomew to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
The sassy princess was speechless for the first time in her life.
