"You are." he defended her with a nod of his head. "Mom just doesn't want to see it because she knows you'd make a better Queen."

Vera looked over at him, because it felt so real to hear something like that. "You think so?"

"Yeah." the boy nodded over at her, arms crossed with their identical crowns and gowns on. "Erik knew it too."

Vera cracked a minor grin, inhaling. "I haven't been taking my medicine."

"I know." Wilhelm nodded, getting a questionable look. "I can tell. Your attitude, your face. It's easy to spot."

"I don't know why I won't. I did before, and it was fine." the blonde explained, trying to understand herself. "I just want to be in control of something on my own for once, I think."

"I know." Wilhelm nodded to his sister. "And I know you aren't allowed to say or do a lot of things, and it's stupid. I wish it wasn't like that with Mom. But this, this is different. Taking your medicine helps you, you couldn't control something like this, it isn't your fault or something you can handle on your own. You've tried, remember?"

"Don't remind me." she sighed, the memory too horrible in her mind. "I'll take them again. I will."

Wilhelm nodded his head. Vera looked over at him with a smirk. "So what happened with you and Simone?"

"Oh, god, no." Willie flushed as he began walking out.

"Did you kiss the non-border?" Vera grinned as she followed him out. "Am I the only one to know? Am I special? Have you told Henry?"

"Oh my god, shut up." he laughed, the two walking back into the crowd together. "Go talk to him."

Vera followed his gaze, landing on Henry, who was looking their way until they saw him. Vera sighed, leaning he'd brother as she headed over. Walter walked off when Vera got close, not mumbling a word as she grabbed Henry's wrist and pulled him away. "Where we going?"

"First, we go change." Vera turned back to him. "Then I call a car."

"A car?" Henry blinked. "You want to run me over?"

"What?" Vera looked in disbelief. "No, you fool. We're going to Alexander's."

Henry nodded his head. "I'll be quick."

woop woop, half the
babes are back!

Lucia.

Det var vackert, det var vackert. Vera bar en vit klänning, liksom resten av dem, med blommakronan på huvudet och ljuset i handen. Hon hade undrat på egen hand innan Willie närmade sig henne. "Hallå."

Vera tittade bort. "Hallå."

"Kan vi prata?" viskade till henne och nickade med huvudet när hon mötte hans öga. "Jag vet att du är upprörd över mig. Jag vill inte att du ska vara det."

Vera suckade. "Vad förväntar du mig att jag ska vara? Lycklig?"

"Jag vill bara förklara varför jag gjorde det." Wilhelm nickade med en bön blick. "Om du fortfarande vill bli arg, kommer jag inte att bry dig igen."

Vera andade ut och rullade ögonen något när paret leder mot det närmaste tomma rummet inuti. Wilhelm hade tempo en god stund och tittade på sin syster. "Så, Simon. Vi är..."

"Tillsammans?" Vera gappade.

"Inte tillsammans tillsammans." han rödade i ansiktet med en huff. "Som du var med Henry och Alexander."
