Prince Bright Guntithanon is betrothed to Dara Kittiyangkul. Well, sort of bethrothed. She has the option to dissolve the union. But Bright is handsome, char...
Dara: Prince Bright? I'm so sorry to bother Your Highness but I was wondering if there's a chance that-
Tia: Bright's not here. Well he's here. But he doesn't have his phone.
Dara: Oh. Sorry. Who is this?
Tia: Who are you? You're the one who called. Oh wait. Let me check.
Dara?! Oh you're the famous Dara. Hi!
Dara: I'm famous?
Tia: Well, famous around the Palace or at least famous between me and my brother.
Dara: Brother?
Tia: Let me turn on the video call. Sorry my earrings are too big for a regular call. You know how it is. Vanity first.
[Video call is turned on] [Dara is shocked to see the Kingdom's Princess in a sports bra and very big hoop earrings.]
Dara: Oh my god! Princess Tia, Your Highness! Good morning. I am so sorry to disturb you.
Tia: It's no bother at all! Was there anything you wanted me to tell my brother?
Dara: Well, I know this is a tad paranoid but Metawin never made it home last night? His valet said he left before midnight for a walk but never came home and I know he's a grown man but I'm a lawyer and I watch a lot of true crime so I was wondering if the Prince knows where he is?
Tia: (laughs) It's no problem at all. Metawin is the tall viscount, right? The one with the sexy cheekbones?
Dara: Errr...
Tia: (laughs again) Sorry, I forgot that I should not describe people that way. Don't look at me like that! I'm just honest. For example, you have really expressive, beautiful eyes.
Dara: Um, thanks?
Tia: Anyway, don't worry about Metawin. Let me go downstairs and show you.

[Camera flipped to show two men who have fallen asleep in each other's arms on the couch. The couch is humongous but for some reason they are squeezed together on one side, heads resting on each other]
Dara : Those 2 doofuses.
Tia: (laughs)
Dara: Oops. Sorry. I shouldn't say that about the Crown Prince.
Tia: Oh you should absolutely say that about my brother. He's adamant he and Metawin are "just friends".
Dara: (snorts) How do men survive on two brain cells, I swear.
Tia: (laughs again) You're funny. Hey, want to grab some coffee? I was going to go to Pilates but to be honest I'm feeling lazy.
Dara: Uh, sure? I'm downtown though. I have work today.
Tia: Ooooo! Sounds like a plan. I can shop right after coffee.
Dara: God, how I wish I could shop on Wednesday.
Tia: You could tell your boss that you're meeting a potential new client. I mean, a princess is a pretty big catch for any law firm.
Dara: I'm...I'm actually the boss?
Tia: So you're a doofus too.
Dara: I am not!
Tia: Then coffee and shopping it is! I want some dirt on my future brother-in-law.
Dara: (laughs) You really think those two would pull their heads out of their asses one day and actually marry?
Tia: (shrugs) I think so. It will take them forever though. See you! Text me the address!
[8:21am Video call ends] [Bright's phone is put on silent and placed near the couch]
