His Majesty (Slide Away)

17.

John was wearing his best 'casual' outfit. A velvet purple shirt with red flowers patterned on the front, along with red corduroy flare pants. When Stuart entered the room, John was practically fully changed.

"You requested to see me, sir?" The boy spoke to John, who was slipping into his shoes.

"Yes, I did... But it doesn't matter anymore. I changed myself." John responded.

"I am ever so sorry for the delay, sir. Martin had dragged me into his office to discuss some adjustments to your suit for the wedding." Stuart explained, standing still in the corner. His posture was straight, and his hands were clasped together in-front of him.

"Oh yeah... Do you know what my suit looks like, then?"

"Indeed I do, your highness..." The Beta nodded.

"And is it catching?" He smirked, heading over to his drawers, snatching some aftershave from inside.

"It is."

"Good." John sprayed the aerosol as continued speaking. "Look... Is there any chance that you know what Paul's outfit looks like?"

"Yes, sir."

"Brilliant!" John exclaimed, throwing the bottle back into his drawer and slamming it shut. "Now, Stuart... I need you to listen very closely..."

"Of course...?"

"Is there any chance that the obligatory cape can instead be red, like Paul's mothers had been for her own wedding?" John asked, having a very strong idea of what the answer to his question would be. And when Stuart sighed, he knew his idea was correct. "Just the cape... The rest can be the same!"

"Sir... I am afraid the colours of the cape can not be altered... Blue and Orange are the colours of the kingdom's flag, the kingdom's pride, and they have not been altered in-"

"In centuries... I know..." John muttered, cutting Stuart off. "But the 1960's are a new decade for Omega's. In today's society Omega's have more rights than ever, and so surely there must be something that can signify their struggle? The cape changing colour would be the perfect symbol!"

"Your highness... I agree with you, I honestly do... It would indeed be perfect. But apart from me not having the correct status to alter anything anyway, I honestly do not promise that it will be allowed..."

John's patience was dramatically sinking. He knew his idea was brilliant... Not only would the new cloth signify change, but it would mean that Paul would get to wear the same cape as his mother did. He would get to honour his mother, and John knew that would mean a great deal to the Omega. It may even settle his nerves...

John just wanted Paul to be comfortable.

"Well... Do you know who I could speak to on this matter, Stuart?" John huffed. He knew it wasn't Stuart's domaine, but Stuart was his courtier... He was payed to deal with John.

"Martin. I believe the person to ask on this matter would be Martin." The Beta explained, and the Alpha nodded.

Of course... Martin. He was the chamberlain of the house, and was mostly in charge of the wedding (as well as government).

"Right... I see."

Just as John was about to thank Stuart and make his way over to Martin's office, there was a knock on the official door to his bedroom.

Shit, that wild be Ringo.

Stuart had already made his way over to the door, and of course, when it opened, Ringo was stood there. He wore dark blue flare jeans, with a black shirt and leather jacket. Not forgetting the sunglasses to disguise himself.
