Betrothed To A Princess

Champagne in the rain

'ting ting ting ting!' (sound of spoon hitting a wine glass to get the attention of crowd)

[Madam Vince] "Ladies and gentlemen it's an honor to host this after party and be the one to ask y'all to raise your glasses as we toast for the success of once in a decade event! Cheers everybody, please do enjoy the night"

[Isabel] "Here's your 100 thousand as promise!"

[Madam Vince] "I am indeed confident she is the real deal, with certainty I know that golden dress is authentic. Thank you for honouring our bet madam Isabel"

[Isabel] "Hey how much do you know about the royalty of Zulu?"

[Madam Vince] "Hmmm it seems someone is interested! All I know is that they're wealth is a big mystery since they want to isolate private things but I know for sure they are not the people you should mess with! Princess Crisminah is more than just a pretty face my dear, please excuse me I gotta prepare a table for her. Looking forward to win more of your money, love lots!"

[Isabel] "Argggggh! I will have my revenge on you! Hey give me that glass and leave the bottle!" (Grabbing a glass of champagne while ordering the waiter to leave the bottle to her)

[Crisminah] I appreciate you tried to get the painting by bidding a huge amount, may I know what's the reason behind you did that?"

[Jovencio] "Seeing the princess on that painting reminds me how beautiful you are, and I'm willing to spend a lot just to get that painting so that I can give it to you as a gift since I don't have anything expensive to level this very rare necklace you gave to me"

[Crisminah] "Really you'll give it to me if you won that painting? How thoughtful of you. If I knew it I should have let you win"

[Jovencio] "It's too late for that! I am very surprised you are willing to spend so much to have it, however I am even more surprised seeing you here tonight"

[Host/Bidder] "Excuse me senyor, princess. Your table is ready and miss Nicolai is waiting for you"

[Crisminah] "Oh I almost forgot! Let's go I don't want Nicolai to wait"

[Jovencio] "I will let you two have your privacy, talking about paintings and art works will make me look dumb. I will just meet you after okay" (Kissing Crisminah's hand as he sent her to go)

[Host/Bidder] "Senyor a bottle of blue label has been prepared for you courtesy of sir Chasim Liong and he's looking forward to have you as company on that table" (pointing to a specific table on a corner)

[Jovencio] "Liong the shipping mogul? Hmmm I suppose a fine whisky will quench my thirst. Thank you and can I please request premier cigar please"

[Host/Bidder] "Of course senyor! I will have it deliver to your table"

[Isabel] "Joven you're here! Looks like my night is not very bad after all. Will you accompany me tonight I have bottle of champagne right here!"

[Jovencio] "Oh hi Isabel! (Hugs and kiss her cheeks as a greeting gesture) I would love to join you however someone is waiting for me over there. Perhaps after we talk okay?"

[Isabel] "Yeah sure, no worries! The night is still young. Talk to you later"

Expecting Chasim is waiting for him on the table Jovencio end up drinking alone because an unopened bottle of blue label, empty glass and a bucket of ice greeted him.

"Sir here's your cigar, lighter and cutter" (random waiter serving the cigar he requested)

[Jovencio] "Hey may I ask where is the man who ordered this bottle?"
