His Majesty (Slide Away)

51.

Masses of people crowd around the entrance to the Royal King Theatre this evening, awaiting upon the arrival of Her Majesty, The Prince John and Omega, hopefully soon-to-be Prince, Paul. This will be Prince John's first public duty since his return from hospital over a week ago.

It will also be Her Majesty's first appearance in the last few weeks, due to what Aquitaine Palace has described as 'ill health'. There are mixed emotions in the crowd towards her attendance this evening.

"What do you think about the Queen's recent behaviour?" The reporter asked a woman, in a fur faux coat, son on her hip.

"Well, as a mother, if my son was in hospital having been shot, if I had a cold or whatnot I would still make it to see him. If the worst comes to the worst, I would wish to be by his side..." She spoke, clearly caring about the subject. "Now I know Prince John is not her son... But he is the closest she has to a child, as well as the princesses. I think it was cold of her to stay home, terribly cold."

"Do you think it was wrong of her to attend today?"

"Well, I think if it is as an apology to Prince John, then it is good of her. However she still has a long way to go for forgiveness, in my opinion."

The camera cut to the same reporter, now interviewing a young man.

"May I ask your thoughts on the Queen's attendance at the Theatre this evening?"

"Yes. I think it is wonderful that she was able to attend. So many acts have trained so hard for this moment, the cast of the play 'suffering' being part of that. I feel it may bring her closer to her people once more after her absence." He smiled, in favour of the Queen.

"And what are your thoughts of her absence?"

"If she was sick, then how could she possibly have visited the Prince? She was sick for a while before so it is not like she was ignoring the Prince. I do not understand why people are hating on her for this, she is coming here tonight with the Prince, and if he is not mad about it, then I do not understand why other people are. Foolish, really."

And here they come!

The two Rolls Royce's make their way through the crowds at precisely 6:30 pm, ready for the beginning of the show, where multiple acts will perform for the Royals. There is also an audience of 2,000 people, eagerly waiting to also enjoy the show.

The Queen's vehicle pulls up first, Her Majesty stepping out in a light blue ball gown, with long sleeves to shield her from the winter cold. She wears a white fur scarf around her neck, and pointy white stiletto's just underneath her dress. Many would say for a recently sick woman, she is looking great. She waved to the crowd, being guided inside by the palace's Chamberlain, George Martin.

Once inside, the door to the second car is pulled open by a bodyguard, known as Malcom Evans. His highness steps out of the car first, wearing a black tuxedo, his arm still in a cast. He smiles catching to the crowd, emitting loud screams of many teenage Omega's, before waving with his undamaged hand.

He then steps back, holding the same hand out for his husband. Omega Paul steps out of the car, wearing a white suit. He has a light blue cape draped over his shoulders, the colour almost the same to the colour of Her Majesty's dress. The screams obviously continue. The car drives away, and the pair wave to the crowd, cheerily, before Malcom guides them up the marvel stairs and into the building.
