Chapter 07
Everyone shifts to Palace Ivanná for the anniversary celebration.
Raféal, Renée, Rose, Jake, Bella and Elina gather in a big room for dance performance.
■...In The Practice Room...■
Elina Parker
I have found out that grandma and grandpa met each other in their teenage. But their love started after engagement.
After that you can see how lovely couple they are.
Elina Parker
1. Engagement.
2. Love after marriage
3. Wedding
4. Life after marriage with kids.
5. Family performance where grandma and grandpa will have a couple dance in the end.
Roselie William
That means two dance performances from young time. Two dance performances from adult time. And a family performance.
Jackson William
I will prepare the songs.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
So, who are the performers? Are you gonna hire people?
Roselie William
Of course not. We will perform.
Jackson William
I don't want to but I've to perform with Rose. So, we are the young couple.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Who will be the adult couple?
Roselie William
It's... you and...
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Obviously not.
Jackson William
Please, brother, we don't have any man here without you.
Abella William
I'm out. I'll be the anchor.
Elina Parker
I can perform with Raféal.
Roselie William
Then what will sister Renée do?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
It's okay. I'm...
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I guess she can't dance.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
And who told you that?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Your body movements.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Oh, now you can read body movements?
Jackson William
Brother is a well-trained dancer. He can perform salsa, ball dance and modern dance.
Elina Parker
Well, he is all-rounder. You should think before you say, Dr. Renée.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
She is joking, Elina. Don't be so serious.
Elina Parker
I was also joking.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
So, what will you say now, doctor?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Why don't I show you. [Smrik]
Abella William
I've an idea. We can have a dance battle between Renée and Elina. Whoever wins will perform with Raféal.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Are you in, doctor?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I am in.
Raféal has a little smile on his face by the silliness of Renée.
Elina performance 1st and she does a modern dance.
Everyone claps for her. Now it's Renée's turn. She does a dance of mixer in modern and ancient styles with a touch of ballet.
Everyone claps for her, even Raféal.
Abella William
What the hell bro, why are you so good in this?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
[Laugh] I'm a trained ballet and salsa dancer.
How was it, Jake and Jake's brother?
Jackson William
You are wonderful.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I guess, I underestimated you.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
That's right.
Abella William
I guess Renée should perform with Raféal.
Roselie William
I also think the same.
Jackson William
Yeah, like sister Elina is good, but your dance doesn't fit for storytelling performance.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I think you...
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I'm in. Doctor and I will start practice from tomorrow. You guys carry on. Bye.
Raféal leaves from his room for some work.
Elina Parker
If Raféal has decided to perform with her, what can I do? Best of luck.
Saying this, Elina also leaves from there.
Abella William
Finally, I have the best people. It's gonna be fun.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
But I think Elina should perform instead of me.
Abella William
Of course not. You are way better than her.
Jackson William
You are on the same level with brother. I think only you can keep up with him.
Roselie William
Please, sister Renée.
Jake and Rose practice and Renée learns the choreography of her performance with Raféal.
Renée and Raféal come to practice.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
You were so good. How many hidden talents are left?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
As many as you do.
I think you should have asked Elina to perform, by your sudden answer, she might be hurt.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I want the best and you are my best.
Renée is surprised with Raféal's word. They hold hand and start dancing.
Their closeness and touch are burning each other that they can't even focus on their choreography.
At one point, they just dance as they feel.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
●I want to touch you, feel you. I don't know why but I just can't keep myself away from you.
You're addictively magical. I guess I'm falling for you.●
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
●Why do I feel so comfortable, safe, secure, happy and loved with you?
I know you and I can't be together. But the moments I have left here, I want to spend them with you.●
Suddenly, the song stops and they stop as well.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I think it's enough for today.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Yeah, we can do the rest tomorrow.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Are you going to sleep?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
You need something?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I heard that there is a museum in the palace. I want to see it.
But if you are busy, I can...
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Let's go.
On the top floor of Palace Ivanná, there is a museum where the whole history of Ivanná is preserved.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
It's so beautiful and aesthetic.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Let me show you Ivanná's descendents.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
George William.
1st monarch of Ivanná.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Augustin William.
3rd monarch of Ivanná.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Skyler William.
4th monarch of Ivanná.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Lady monarch?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Yeah, 1st lady monarch of Ivanná. She was an empress.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Grandpa is her great great great grandson.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Last but not the least, my grandpa.
David William.
9th monarch of Ivanná.
The next will be my father.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
And then it will be you.
11th monarch of Ivanná. Raféal William.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
[Smile]
Renée notices a blue book.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
What is this?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
It's a rule book.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Can I read this?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Of course.
Renée opens the book and reads out loud.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Concubine is not acceptable, especially for your majesty.
A royalty can marry anyone from inside and outside of the royal family, but the crown King/Queen has to be a Royal/Noyal/Noble.
What are noble, noyal?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Read next.
●Royal + Noble = Noyal
●Royal + Royal / Noyal = Royal
●Royal / Noyal + Commoner
= Noble
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
So, I am a noble, right?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Yes.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Everyone in the palace is royal. I'm a noble. Have you ever seen any noyal?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I guess there is no noyal in the present or the history.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
For example, if a royal marries a noble, then there can be a noyal.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
If you and I get married, our kids will be the noyal.
Renée pauses by Raféal's words.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
For example.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
It's almost 2 am, I think we should go back to our rooms.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
For example. [Sigh]
What were you even thinking, Renée?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Me and Raféal, marriage, and history can't afford to repeat itself. I'm going to leave soon. I should stop my daydreaming.
Suddenly, Renée's phone rings.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
📞 Hi, brother.
Edward Wilson
📞 If I didn't call you, you might have never contact me.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
📞 Who said that, I'm already missing you.[Smile]
Edward Wilson
📞 Such a liar.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
📞 Did you call me to complain?
Edward Wilson
Miss you, kiddo.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
📞 I miss you too.
Edward Wilson
📞 Now tell me what are you doing with the Williams?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
📞 What did you say? [Shocked]
Edward Wilson
📞 You have been with the Williams for almost 3 months.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
📞 Brother, listen to me. I can explain when I will be back. [Panicking]
Edward Wilson
📞 Yeah, you are coming back tomorrow.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
📞 Brother, please try to understand. I'll come back in 2 days. Please don't tell dad and please trust me.
Edward Wilson
📞 Renée, don't.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
📞 Brother, just 2 more days. Please.
Edward Wilson
📞 [Sigh] Just 2 days.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
📞 Love you, brother.
The whole day everyone practices their dance performances.
Everyone goes to sleep but Renée is still in the practice room. She is just dancing freely as she wants.
■...In The Practice Room...■
Raféal is just passing by the room, but he stops when he watches Renée's sizzling performance.
He is so mesmerized that suddenly he holds her from behind and they start dancing.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
You are so freaking beautiful.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
You noticed that today?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I could never have unseen that. Your presence makes me so...
Suddenly, rain starts and Renée runs to the balcony but Raféal is just looking at her.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Raféal, come here.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Renée, you know I can't.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Try for once, trust me. I'm here.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Just hold my hand and come. I promise I will be here with you.
Raféal gathers all his courage and holds her hand.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
You promise?
[In pleading tone]
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I promise.
Raféal gets soaked in rain but this time he is not afraid. Instead, he is enjoying this moment.
Suddenly, Raféal looks at her and he can see the most beautiful sight of his life. An angel without wings in the rain. His angel.
Raféal tries hard to control, but at the and he loses the battle with his feelings. He holds Renée's hand and places a kiss on her lips.
The kiss gives them a sense of warmth in the coldness of the rain.
Raféal kisses her as she belongs to him and him only. He wants her and that is confirmed for him by the kiss.
Renée gets lost in the kiss for a moment but when she realises what they are doing, she parts herself from him and without saying anything, she runs away.
Raféal feels like, he is free. He is free from some unseen shackles. Finally, he understands what he wants. He wants Renée, in his life.
He opens his arms and shouts...
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
NOW I CAN'T LET YOU LEAVE ME.
YOU ARE MINE, DOCTOR. ONLY MINE.
And finally, the hatred in Raféal's heart loses the battle with love.
Renée sits in her bed all drenched.
Renée's mind is all blank, her brain is only recalling the kiss.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
What did he do? Why did he kiss me?
I even kissed him back. Oh god. What will I do now? What does the kiss mean?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Why is he making things so complicated? Why did I not dislike the kiss?
I can't, I can't fall for him. I won't let my family face the humiliation again.
After showering, he lies on the bed.
Raféal takes out his phone.
It's Renée's picture. Unknowingly, Raféal formed a habit of seeing Renée's picture before going to sleep.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Why can't I stop myself from wanting you? I need you, I yearn for you.
I want to be in your life. I want to make you my life.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
It's been so long since I felt the warmth in the rain. When I looked at you, I just couldn't hold myself anymore.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I wanted to kiss you the first time I saw you. You don't even know how much you mean to me.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
When you kissed me back, I felt like I'm regaining love. Your touch makes me crazy and calm as well.
This time, I won't let you go. I will hold your hand and keep you with me forever.
I missed you, Rén.
It's the day of the anniversary. Everyone is doing preparations.
Raféal tries to talk to Renée throughout the day. But Renée avoids him.
The party starts and guests start coming. Everyone gets ready for their performance.
Raféal finds out Renée is alone in the changing room. He goes there to talk to her.
■...In The Changing Room...■
Renée is wearing her clothes but her hands can't reach to the zipper.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Sister Bella, can you help me?
Raféal comes and helps her. Renée pauses by his touch on her back.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Thank you.
Saying this, Renée starts to leave but Raféal holds her hand.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Renée, please listen to me.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
We are getting late for...
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I'm sorry.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Sorry for what?
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
For the kiss.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I can understand, it was a mistake.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
It was not. It was not a mistake. I knew what I was doing.
I'm sorry for kissing you without your permission.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Why did you kiss me? Don't you know who am I?
Why Raféal, do you... do you love me?
Raféal doesn't answer. So, Renée starts to leave but Raféal hugs her from behind.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I don't know. What is love. I've never felt this emotion. But the feeling I have for you is something new and precious.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Every emotion I'm capable of producing in my heart, it's only yours... JUST YOURS.
You are my strength. You made me brave enough to face my fear. Please don't leave me.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Raféal please don't.
Renée breaks the hug and faces him.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I'm sorry, don't be mad.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at myself. I've never felt anything like I felt last night.
I know that we can't be together and I should not be close to you. I tried and tried hard to resist you but... I couldn't.
[With teary eyes]
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I can't give my humiliation, which they had to bear in the past. I can't. Please don't make it hard for me. Our destiny can never be together.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
I can promise you everything I have. My name, my words, my whole life. Your respect will be my respect. I don't fear anyone. You don't have to face any humiliation for me.
Trust me. Trust is more important than love for me. Always have trust on me.
I'll make sure our destiny ties together. And I won't touch you if it makes you uncomfortable. I'm sorry.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I wasn't... I didn't hate the kiss. It was awkward because it was my first kiss and I couldn't process was happening...
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
It was my first kiss too and I loved it. It was the best moment of my life.
I don't care about anyone. I want to be with you and only you can stop me from that.
Raféal comes closer to her face and this time he asks for her consent to kiss her.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Can I? [Whisper]
Renée nods her head as yes.
Raféal slowly starts kissing her.
Raféal breaks the kiss and looks at her. Raféal takes Renée's hand and puts a bracelet on her hand.
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Did you like it?
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Yeah. [Being Shy]
Raféal places a kiss on her forehead.
Abella William

Abella William
🎤 Today, we are here to celebrate their 54 Eras of togetherness. We hope and pray this love can last forever.
Grandpa and grandma, we have another surprise for you from the whole family.
All the Williams, Renée and Elina except David and Elizabeth get on the dance floor.
In the middle of the performance, Raféal and Renée go to David and Elizabeth, they take them on the dance floor.
David and Elizabeth do couple dance.
Raféal and Renée bump into each other in front of the changing room.
Raféal holds her waist and pulls her close, then he places a kiss on her cheek and whispers...
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
You look so gorgeous. [Whisper]
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Thank you. [Blush]
Raféal William ● [𝗠𝗟]
Let's go.
Everyone comes to the hall room. David and Elizabeth are on the stage and David starts his speech.
David William
🎤 Hello, everyone. I'm grateful to all of you who are present here. I feel so blessed that I can spend this day with the love of my life and my family.
Today, I want to introduce you guys to a new family member. She is my beloved granddaughter, daughter of Princess Kate, Renée Wilson.
Princess Renée, please come on stage.
Everyone claps except the Williams because of the sudden shock.
Renée looks at Raféal and he gestures her to go. Then she goes on the stage.
David William
🎤 My daughter Kate is no more with us but we are fortunate that we have my granddaughter here.
I will thank everyone again for being here.
Elizabeth angrily drags Renée to a guest room. Williams and Elina follow them, except David, because he is giving his speech.
Raféal is about to go as well but suddenly, he has a business call and he goes outside to take the call.
■...In The Guest Room...■
Elizabeth William
What the hell is happening? Who gave you permission to come here?
You deceived us by faking your identity.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Believe me, grandma. I...
Elizabeth William
Don't call me that, I'm not your grandma.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Your Majesty, I didn't know that you were my mother's family when I came here.
Nina William
Kate is not our family. She is disowned.
Abby William
You must have some unethical plan, that's why you got so close to our family.
Nina William
Such a cunning girl.
Abella William
Mom, please. What did she do so wrong?
Roselie William
Don't be so mean to sister Renée.
Lisa William
She might be telling the truth, everyone please stop blaming her.
Women are all engaged in the fight of blaming Renée except Lisa, Rose and Abella. Men are all silent during the whole conversation.
Elina Parker
Don't be fooled by her acting. She is a cunning girl with an innocent face.
She might be Kate's daughter but she also has the blood of the Wilsons, the gold diggers.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
Don't you dare to say another rubbish thing about my family.
Elina Parker
I will. You can't control me like you did to Raféal.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
I said stop it.
[Gritting teeth]
Elina Parker
You know what grandma, she is here to seduce man in the royal family so that she can get her mother's status. Such a BCH.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
[Grabs Elina's neck]
I SAID SHUT UP.
Abella and Lisa grab Renée to free Elina. But she is strangling Elina hard.
Elizabeth William
THAT'S ENOUGH. JUST LEAVE FROM HERE. [Shouts loudly]
Renée leaves Elina's neck and looks at Elizabeth fiercely.
Lisa William
Where will she go in this night time?
Nina William
Why should we care?
Abby William
If she can come alone, then she can go as well.
Renée just can't digest the sudden hatred she is getting for her mother. Her rage is becoming more furious.
Renée Wilson ● [𝗙𝗟]
YOU KNOW WHAT, MY MOM DID THE CORRECT THING BY LEAVEING YOU GUYS. YOU GUYS DON'T DESERVE HER. YOU GUYS ARE JUST A BUNCH OF EGOISTIC SELFISH PEOPLE. [Groans in rage]
Saying this, she turns back and walks out of the room. Abella tries to go behind her but...
Elizabeth William
Anyone who will go after her can leave the palace as well.
This threat stops Abella's steps.
