Betrothed To A Princess

Setting it Up

"We can't rush love, we can't rush two people to like each other! One wrong move and all of our efforts and preparations for years will go to waste!" (a strong statement by a member of the parliament as they discuss how to expedite the marriage without any errors for this marriage will end ongoing dispute.)

"The princess is still young and is exploring her youth, however there's no question on her ability to lead the people, equip with wisdom plus a heart there is no doubt she will understand the situation" (another member states his opinion.,)

"Yes! You're both right however we need to consider they are also human beings not tools! If they will like and fall in love with each other they need months or a couple of years.We really need this love story to work out until the next generation" (Sultan Pedrosah's statement makes the room quiet and that only means one thing the parliament agrees with him.)

"We will continue what has been started and let's hope for the best! This meeting is over for now!" (Sultan Anur brother of Sultan Pedrosah speaks up to adjourn the meeting.)

"Brother a word please" (Sultan Anur asks Sultan Pedrosah for a private talk while the members of the parliament are leaving the room one by one.)

"Brother what do you know about this young Captain Jovencio? And what makes him the ideal man for this big 'project'? You know the consequences if these goes wrong and out of our control right?" (A curios yet one sided question asked by Sultan Anur to his brother.)

"Brother i know that you are doubtful about these idea from the very start and I know right now you are doubting the man we have chosen, I personally hand picked him to be my daughter's husband not because she needs a handsome and intelligent husband but so save the next generation"

"Yes brother you know that I am, so please enlighten me!" (To be convinced by the idea or to find a loophole either which Sultan Anur asks for enlightenment)

"Capt.Jovencio is not just a disciplined and promising young captain soon to be general of the army in our country. Underneath the uniform is a much deeper story brother" (Sultan Pedrosah's deep voice startled his brother as he makes the introduction about the captains qualifying traits that makes him eligible on this big project.)

"Hmmmm now I'm intrigued but not yet convinced brother so please continue" (Anur replied.)

"As a teen ager Captain Jovencio became the youngest leader of the activists during people power, leading the KM (Kabataang Makabayan) that's the one thing that makes me knew he is not a bias leader when the time comes. On top of that he is also one of the pioneer students to study, learn, develop and introduced  the earliest computer here in our country also known as IBM, that makes him knowledgeable and intelligent enough to adapt and make right decisions in future. Last but not the least! Aside from being born from a rich family he also a 4th generation Spanish royal blood, a lineage that introduced Christianity in our country not to mention he studied 'Banal na pag aaral' under Fr. Cunsanan and one of the young minds to establish 'OBU' operation build up." (A well ensured statement by Sultan Pedrosah as he finishes telling the facts about the captains personal life to his brother Anur.)

"Brother let me ask you, what is the main reason of this project?"  (Sultan Pedrosah asked Sultan Anur)

"Of course to end the conflict between us Moro's and our fellow countrymen who disagrees on beliefs, culture and tradition" (An honest and direct answer by Sultan Anur)

"Then from all the things I told you about the young captain does he not qualify for the role of becoming my daughter's future husband?"

"Yes yes of course he is, I'm just only checking facts and making it sure brother" (A submissive reply by Sultan Anur.)

"Also brother don't even think that our people will hate him because he is a christian soldier of our government. Take in mind he is the only commanding officer that lasts to be assigned here for more than a year. No complaints against him and people loved him, actually the other day I saw him jogging on road alone without any of his subordinates guarding him and did not even have his service firearm with him, he's a people person and you'll know it once you meet him personally!" (Sultan Pedrosah added a few spices of facts about the captain to make sure his story is not only well cooked but also very tasty.)

"Before we part ways brother I want you to set up an ambush on the medical mission that the princess organised next week and make sure  the team of Capt. Jovencio will be the nearest and the first responder. No casualties just make a noise to lure the captain and his team so that they can he be acquainted with my daughter and to know each other" (A commanding words by Sultan Pedrosah.)

"Yes older brother you can count on me" (Sultan Anur replied.)

"Looks like I need to know more about this young captain" (Sultan's Anur thoughts)
