Margarita: Make Your Story Count

CREATED BY CRIS MORENA

MARGARITA MAKE YOUR STORY COUNT

He loves me He loves me not

I love him a lot With all I've got

In every petal I see his face

Telling me he loves me He loves me

He loves me

He loves me He loves me not

It would be foolish for our nations to keep fighting

FRANCE EMBASSY

over such irrelevance.

I agree, mon cher marquis.

I think we've taught the world a great lesson.

-Exactly. See you. -Merci.

-Au revoir. -See you soon.

You can come out now, ma petite espionne.

Finally. I thought you'd never solve the problems.

That's why you're the best diplomat in the world.

Let's celebrate since everyone's happy.

But pay attention.

It's one of the most important lessons I'll teach you.

You can't always trust smiles or hugs,

or even those who bare their teeth like a dog.

There's a public diplomacy,

and a hidden one, happening behind the scenes.

Did I ever tell you about the Marquis of Esquilache?

He was the minister of King Charles III of Spain,

and he had the idea of banning men from wearing capes and hats,

so they couldn't hide weapons.

A bit naive, perhaps,

but the Marquis knew we should worry

about what's hidden beneath the cape.

I want the Delfina seal to be the focus of the day's agenda.

And I want you to move the contest final

ahead of the Patron of the Future award ceremony.

The ceremony is in two weeks, and the contest final is in a month.

I know. Do I tell you when to go to the hairdresser?

No, although I should.

But I respect you, so show some respect.

Brainstorming, I'm thinking, it could be like a musical,

highlighting my commitment to the environment.

SPEECH FROM MERLÍN PIETRO, PRINCE OF KRIGORAGÁN

LIVE

Sorry for ignoring you,

but if I don't pay attention, I don't understand.

That's okay. You'll tell me later.

What did he say?

As much as everyone loves Margarita,

they mustn't forget the true princess,

the daughter of King Maximo, which is me.

So brave.

That's great for you.

I always thought it'd be impossible to return to Krikoragán,

as a princess or as a queen.

But the prince himself wants to give me back the throne.

I don't know.

Maybe I should practice everything Ada taught me.

Ada, where are you when I need you?

I'm sure she'll call you.

Are you moved?

I didn't know you cared so much about being queen.

It excites me to think that maybe

this is justice for my parents.

I'll solve your problem today.

I expect the same from you.

Some people spend their entire lives

hiding their tricks under a cape.

I'm proud to see you fulfilling

the duty you were born to fulfill.

You look like a king, nephew.

But I had the best teacher,

and that's why I'm an expert at uncovering what people hide,

even behind smiles and capes.

UNDER THE MARQUI'S CAPE

You can't imagine the tension.

Everyone wants to be in the final,

but I'm going to win.

But that's not the priority.

Rey is, because I want to help his family.

I love you all, too, ÚnicaDevils.

I have so much to tell you, but not now.

You'll have to wait.

RECENT IMAGES FROM PRINCE MERLIN

Sweetheart.

-What? -Say hi to the ÚnicaDevils.

Hey, guys.

They loved what we did the other day.

Shall we give them more?

Sure, we will.

I don't understand people who like birthdays.

It's constant stress.

I don't get why you should worry about others having fun on your day.

And what face do you make during "happy birthday"?

Just smile, Zeki.

If you don't like celebrating, why create this look?

Because I only do it every four years.

Even if I hate it, I can't miss the chance to celebrate.

And to get presents.

You better give me a gift.

Did you give me one?

Don't be cheeky. I didn't know you then.

But you met me later, and I got nothing.

Maybe you'll have to wait four more years.

Another thing I hate about my birthday

is it'll be over 95 degrees.

I'd love to spend it with you.

In London.

I'd love London

since I imagine it's way cooler than here.

It's boiling here, though you're in a T-shirt.

Yes. It was cold,

but you know how it is.

Here in London, it's cold one day, and warm the next.

No. It's deforestation, and it's happening everywhere.

Happy birthday to you!

Make a wish!

What are you doing here?

You, Petra, I understand, you're struggling with the language.

But, Mei and Alaska?

There's a sign that says "do not enter."

We came to say happy birthday.

You should know my birthday starts after six.

Also, I'm talking to my boyfriend. So, bye.

Thanks.

Talking to your boyfriend?

I didn't say that.

Yes, you did.

Either you're talking to someone else, or I'm your boyfriend.

No, don't get me wrong, that doesn't mean...

Besides, they don't even know who you are.

Were you upset?

No way. In fact, it was beautiful.

Wasn't it?

I know we've gone too far, but we did it...

At the cost of innocent lives, that's going "too far."

The kingdom was in danger,

and force was the only way we could protect it.

Mar is right.

What you did was cruel.

I know, but fortunately, things have changed.

Now you're here, Merlin, to oversee the crown's renewal.

Thanks for your trust.

Please speak to the council,

to release the documents about Daisy's family.

You know it's difficult.

But necessary.

I'd like Daisy and everyone exiled to return to Krikoragán.

I'll consider your request, but we need time.

Now come with me.

We have a meeting with investors who want to make deals.

I can't.

Mar and I are going to the orphanage,

to visit the children of prisoners and war victims.

Merlin, you need to attend business meetings

and diplomatic agreements.

You're the king.

I already gave my word to the kids. That's also part of being king.

Yes, Your Majesty. Excuse me.

I've never seen him like this.

I think when he saw how much people adore us,

he realized they did everything wrong.

Or maybe he's just trying to fool you.

I don't think so. He's my uncle.

I know him, he'd never do that.

Lies have an expiration date, Merlin.

You've got a saying for everything.

Oui.

And once I learn Krikon, nobody will stand a chance.

What are you doing?

Mind your manners, you're the prince.

Don't congratulate me, Pipe.

It's bad luck before the birthday, and I'm already unlucky.

Why do I sabotage myself by falling in love

during the final of the most important contest?

What's the problem? Love inspires us.

We're preparing an amazing presentation.

Not everyone is lucky enough to find someone like you.

Some people have to settle for crumbs.

I don't fit in here anymore.

I went from beloved princess to hated.

And now, ignored.

Since Única clung to Rey, I don't exist.

I'm not even trying for the final challenge.

At least for Zeki, bad luck in love became inspiration.

I love your look.

You've no idea how my creative blocks work.

We were doing great, but I think I caught him lying.

He said that it's warm in London, but I checked the weather,

it's 27 degrees.

What? Was I toxic?

Aren't you tired of rubbing your joy in our faces?

Didn't you have two girlfriends?

Hey. It's been a while.

I know you're the ones who hacked me and posted those horrible things.

But don't worry. I won't report it.

I know I messed up by lying and playing both sides.

But it's my heart's fault. It's just too big.

I didn't know which one to choose, because I liked you both.

How cute, right, Calu?

Yes, very cute.
