Chapter 268 - 268 Unspoken Words through a Song

I didn't fall in love with you because I was lonely or lost, I fell in love with you because after getting to know you, I realized that I wanted to make you a permanent part of my world. ---- Unknown Author

Francois: "I am sorry for that Mr. Ethan Li. Nikolai like Rosela since she was fifteen and he fell deeply in love with her at the age of eighteen when her parents introduce her to society. We, the Knights, Dimitri, Ryder, and even Sheik Jamil already knew about his feelings with her way back then for he asked our permission if he can pursue the Princess. And, My Queen, My Luna... My wife was the one who found out about Rosela's feelings towards him. It's just that they are both stubborn enough not to confess to each other."​​

Louie felt a stabbing pain when he heard Viscount Francois calling Luna as "My Luna....My Wife" for those terms of endearment was just for him to be called for Luna. Kim could feel the body of Louie became stiff as soon as he heard those words. 

While they are very busy talking about the things between Rosela and Nikolai, the Wu triplets already finished helping Rosela tp freshen up and they all went back to the music room wherein the Knights also finished helping Nikolai to change his clothes, he is now much more handsome because of the clothes that he wears. Then out of nowhere "The couple dance will commence, Rosela, my daughter, I am giving your hand to Sire Nikolai Rossi." Prince Timothy announces. Then the song the day I fall In Love by James Ingram and Dolly Parton (youtube.com/watch?v=bjOYwjr1iH4) was heard as the two new love birds walk at the center and dances. The twins giggled but they still manage to set the atmosphere inside the music room to be romantic. 

As the couple dances, Nikolai can't control himself not to stare at Rosela's face, "Princess Rosela, I am sorry if it takes so many years before I confessed my feelings for you. Maybe right now, I felt that some threats linger around you and I came finally on my senses that I said to myself that I need to do it or I will regret it if I will not make a move" Nikolai explained to Rosela. Rosela giggled "Nikolai, I fell in love with you when I turned thirteen back then. I fell in love with you when you started your training to become my Father's right-hand guy and most especially when you trained us to become fierce but still kept the innocent looks to everyone. I love you without knowing why as if for every reason I give, there are hundred or thousands more that will remain hidden in mystery. But what I do know is this, you are the only one who had the answer to those to my soul and in my heart" Rosela informs Nikolai. As the couple dance, Jamil made something to the lights so that the ambiance inside the music room will become more romantic, then the music changes when Nikolai twirled Rosella and catches her. What surprises Rosela and Nikolai was when Marco and Jessica Wu began to sing the song You Are the Reason by Calum Scott ((youtube.com/watch?v=ByfFurjQDb0). Even Leah and Marcus whom the parents of the triplets were shocked to hear the voice of Jessica singing, it is only Samantha and Cassie who is not surprised at all. 

Cassie was with Alexei and Samantha was with Xavier, and it was one of the plans of the Wu triplets to showcase their talents in singing. It is only Luna who knows that they can sing, but when Luna was gone they never practice their vocal cords anymore for they forget singing the day Luna left them. "Are you going to surprise me also Cara Mia?" Alexei asks Cassie as he saw the smile on Cassie's face. Cassie looks at him "Just wait for a while Dr. Alexei Voronov, maybe tonight you will see some hidden talents of the Wu triplets" Cassie replied to him as she gave her sweetest smile and a wink. 

Then Marco takes the stage when he sang I Wanna Grow Old With You by Westlife (youtube.com/watch?v=0LHmevWVvpc), as he holds Jessica Wu's hands and looks straightly unto her eyes and his right hand intertwined to Jessica's left hand, and even though they have sung it for Rosela and Nikolai as their couple dance; for Marco, this song was his unspoken words towards Jessica. Jessica knew that Marco is offering this song for her, that's why her beautiful face was stained with tears. As the song ended, both Nikolai and Rosela, and Marco and Jessica stop in unison and they were given applause by the people inside the music room. 

But before that Marco suddenly speaks up towards Jessica, "Thank you for being you....for sharing your love with me....for inspiring me. for helping me to see the unique beauty of imperfection of the surrounding....for showing me that love is something you do; something not just to be said, but also to be shown. Jessica Wu, I love you very much and I am hoping that I could marry you here this time so that we could stay with each other forever."

Jessica smiled at him, and she gave him a peck on his lips. "Forever is a long time, but I wouldn't mind spending it by your side here at the City of Wise. Then listen to my unspoken words so that you will know my answer to your question Darling," Jessica whispered to him. 

After that soulful performance, Samantha and Cassie stood up and joins Jessica, Jessica tells Marco to take his seat for a while for she and her sister need to do something. But before the Wu triplets began their performance, Luna and Francois, together with Louie, Ethan, and Kim came back from. Luna was dumbstruck seeing her best friends in front, but she smiled at them, then Cassie gave her signal to Ares so that he could play the background music for the song that they are going to sing. As the music heard, Samantha began to sing first then followed by Cassie and Jessica, the song Love Is All Around by Wet Wet Wet (youtube.com/watch?v=h3gEkwhdXUE) was heard and sang by the triplets. Luna and Francois sat down beside the Wu triplets' parents, while Louie, Ethan, and Kim seemed rooted to where they are standing as they stop walking when they heard the very fierce and aloof Atty. Samantha Wu sings. 

Luna: "Surprise Aunt Leah, Uncle Marcus. Your daughters have an angelic voice that they hide from you for a very long time."

Marcus: "Why they didn't tell us about these talents that they have Moon?"

Leah who is in tears could only listen very intently as her daughters sing, she has a hunch that they could sing but she is quite confused back then for they only ask for musical instruments just like Luna so that they could practice and play when they have free time. After the song by Wet Wet Wet, Cassie began to sing Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now by Starship (youtube.com/watch?v=8qdgULDgfX0), she is doing solo, and while she sings her eyes went to gaze at Alexei. Alexei stared at his fiancée and smiled, "So you can sing Cara Mia, tonight you will sing a different song at our bedroom" Alexei said to himself. 

Then when everybody applauded to what Cassie has done when she finished the song, Jessica began to sing Your Love by Alamid youtube.com/watch?v=CP5YIxTFiV4), and just like what Cassie did a while ago, Jessica stared at Marco who taking a video on his phone as his fiancée performs. "Her voice is very angelic Uncle Chaffy" Dawn who took her seat beside Marco speaks up, Marco did not notice that Dawn was already sitting next to him. Then this time it's Samantha's turn, Xavier gulps a mouthful of saliva for he was quite hesitating if his fiancée could do a solo performance, but he was awestruck when he heard her singing Now That I Have You by The Company (youtube.com/watch?v=86VFLVESwyY). Xavier seemed fell in love so deeply towards her much more, for the very fierce and feisty lawyer that he knew seemed has a soft spot. 

As the performance of the Wu triplets ended their fiancées' walks at them immediately and gave them a tight hug and a peck on the lips, for they knew that if they dare to kiss their fiancées'' in front of the twins. The twins' will be going to do in their power to help them furthermore so that they will produce little playmates for them. 

"Father, will you sing your unspoken words for us?" Dawn's voice was heard inside the music room as soon as the Knights escorted their fiancées' back to their seats. Louie was quite nervous when he heard his little princess, "Sure sweetheart I'll sing for your Mom, but I hope that you will let your Uncle Yuan and Uncle Harry will give me a hand when I sing for my unspoken words for you, your brother and to your mother" Louie asks Dawn. 

"Sure, but you have to understand Father, that they will just help you deliver the unspoken words only. They will not help you with what is inside your mind and heart....only to your performance" Winter butts in. Louie smiled and he nods his head as he gave his assurance to both of his kids, as the twins saw his assurance they both smiled at him.
