The Prize By Julie Garwood 소설 & 이야기

Some prizes were worth the patience required to win them properly. And Alex Coleman, I was increasingly certain, was worth changing all the rules for.

Before he mentioned the winner of the contest, I already knew who it was, and I buckled myself immediately to speak against the result. "The winner of this round is our Princess, Rachel!" No one clapped, no applause went up from the peope, not even from Rachel's brothers, Duke and Raul, as Rachel smiled widely and hurried to the platform. Only Hendel was clapping. The Queen wasn’t. She only gave a slow nod to the Prof Zokel. "I know we had all expected Dora Akwoods to win this competition, seeing as she dazzled us all, but her dress was a magic dress….that was against the rules."

the old man turned to me. oh, Only men? Just them? "We won the event, so you don't have to worry. You have a prize," the old man added, patting me on the shoulder. My eyes widened. "We won?! Really?!" "Yeah!" "What's the prize? Is it a house and a lot? Million pesos? What?" "Crazy," Bennet interjected. I frowned at the man. "Why? Bad dreams?" He didn't speak. President Gunford laughed. "Silly. Nothing like that. It's my gift to you for being a cute partner!"

Yet, my stomach still flutters with unkempt nerves. Elaine reaches her hand out, grasping Kaan's. "It's so wonderful to see you happy like this, Kaan. You deserve it." "I am happy. Ruling will be much less of a burden with Hunter by my side." He reaches over and pats my thigh. I've never been more grateful for the dress I decided to wear today, even if the fabric between our skin is flimsy at best. Elaine clasps her hands together, her smile wide. "How wonderful. And I suspect great grandchildren by the end of this year, do you hear?"

“I have never heard the like.” “They are in it together,” her sister stated, with a positively wicked grin. “Release me and you can take this one in my place.” “What’s in it for us?” “I will watch them. And when we reach land, you will be rewarded.” “How?” the oarsman asked. “Do you know who I am? No? The Princess Royal, rightful heir to the late King Gregory of Vercia. Take me back to the palace and I will give each of you your body weight in gold coins.”

Shawn looked over at her suspiciously and asked, “You know what he wants from me?” “We are well aware of the prince’s needs,” Mrs Wright said with a slight smile on her face. “It is not normal, he is a prince and yet chooses to do this?” Shawn questioned. “You will have to speak to the prince to get your answer, my Lord,” Mrs Wright answered avoiding the topic. One of the servants walked in and curtsied to Shawn who just looked at her. She whispered into Mrs Wright’s ear. Mrs Write nodded her head and watched the servant as she disappeared then looked at Shawn and said, “Prince Aldridge’s gift for you has arrived and is waiting in your chamber.”

She stared at the prize table, and they were all gone. "There is another prize?" Liam also asked curiously. Charlotte glanced at Carla and caught her giggling. She asked, "Do you know about this?" Carla flushed like a red tomato. She replied, "I - I don't know." "You aren't a very good liar," Chadwick said, referring to his wife. They watched curiously as the host pulled out a paper and declared, "The winner of the exceptional prize is... Sir Chadwick! Congratulations, Sir!" Charlotte turned to Chadwick with a frown. The big guy looked so confused.

"There are three prizes, the third place will win a polished ruby and the second place gets a diamond necklace. As for the first place, a special edition embroidery handmade by Glanchester’s very own master embroider, Mr. Goldclark.” As he said this, several staff members appeared from behind with the mentioned prizes in a box. The ruby and diamond necklace were captivating on their own, but they were nothing compared to the enchanting work of embroidery, detailing the mountainous landscape of Glanchester.

"I didn't know you didn't know." Nicole looked at her, pretending to be in surprise. "What are the prizes? Tell us." Vivian and the others immediately gathered around Nicole. "I've heard that the prizes for the women's group are bracelets and designer bags." Nicole deliberately leaked this information to Vivian. "Impossible. The Royal Creek Institute has never had such an award, let alone bracelets and designer bags." Vivian looked incredulous, for she had read the history of the Royal Creek Institute in the library.

Prince and another fashion Icon was called for the award presentation. Poor Prince tried his best to look happy for the cameras. “Are you going for it?” Jill said to him,talking about calling the results. “Please go on”. Prince offered her back. “The award for the best designer goes to the glittering Swan, designed by Valerie Norman!” Valerie cried and hugged Luke,then she waved at the audience applauding for her, she walked up the stage, resisting the urge to hug Prince too to avoid any embarrassment. Jill gave Prince the award as she was aware that he is her husband now.
