Wilhelm and Simon sit outside the Queen's office. Various voices can be heard from the outside. It feels as if time is moving by so slowly. The anticipation gets Wilhelm's heart racing again.

Wilhelm bends over and puts his hands over his face as he tries to calm himself down.

"Wille. Willie are you okay? Please talk to me," says Simon as he places his hand on Wilhelm's back trying to comfort him.

"I'm just trying to calm myself before I have to speak to my mother. She's not going to be happy that I openly defied her," responds Wilhelm.

Suddenly the doors to the office open and the boys are told to come inside by a member of the Queen's council.

Wilhelm and Simon get up and lock hands in preparation for what comes next.

As they slowly make their way into the office, Queen Kristina is sitting at the head of the table with her hands crossed in disapproval.

"Have a seat boys," she says sharply.

Wilhelm can tell by the tone in her voice that this is going to be a long and painful conversation. The rest of the queen's council is seen sitting around her looking uncomfortable as they watch the boys sit down.

The room is quiet.

As Queen Kristina searches for words the tension continues to grow.

"Wilhelm, you fucked up. And not a small fuck up a HUGE fuck up!" she yelled.

As the Queen tries to regain her composure Wilhelm chimes in.

"So what. What do you plan for us now huh? How are you going to cover this up? I did nothing wrong. Maybe if everyone in this room wasn't trying so hard to keep us apart, then this would have ended differently." he says looking furiously around the room at all the council members.

"Wille, please calm down." pleads Simon.

The Queen takes a moment before responding.

"Wille, I told you we would figure this out when you were 18. Now you've given us no choice, the people are going to lose faith in the monarch. You have a huge future ahead of you and you chose to act out like a teenager but you need to understand you're not like everyone else, you have duties, and obligations, and you are the future of this country."

"Well, maybe I don't want to be the future of this country." Wilhelm snaps back.

The Queen is taken aback by this response. As if her own son would give up the crown for this boy.

"Wilhelm. Things are going to have to change around here. Now that you've revealed to the world that you and Simon are together we need a new plan." she replies.

Jan Olof leans forward and lays his hands on the table as he lets out a sigh.

"Listen, boys, this is no longer contained. Your whole world is going to change and there are going to be things we need to figure out along the way," says Olof.

"Then figure it out," says Wilhelm as he gets up to leave. "Come on Simon."

Wilhelm gestures for Simon to follow him. Simon gets up from the desk and looks over to the Queen.

"I love your son. I will do anything to support him and I hope you do too," he says as he follows Wilhelm out the door.

The Queen sits there in shock. "Jesus," she mutters under her breath.

The boys make their way outside of the office and walk through the corridor. Wilhelm begins to lead Simon through the castle.

"Where are we going, Wille?" asks Simon.

"My room. I need to lie down for a bit. Today has been a mess." Wilhelm responds.

They make their way through the castle, walk up some stairs, and end up in a corridor with various doors lining the hallway.

A smirk spreads on Wilhelm's face as an idea crosses his mind.

"Pick a door, Simon," says Wilhelm as a light chuckle leaves his lips.

"Wait what? What do you mean?" asks Simon confusion splattered across his face.

"You heard me, pick a door," Wilhelm responds laughing again.

Simon points to the third door on the right.

"Okay," Wilhelm responds.

Wilhelm grabs Simon's hand and leads him into the room he picked. As the door opens, a large bedroom is revealed.

The room was decorated very lavishly. Large paintings hung on the walls, with red curtains covering the windows. The bed was gold-plated with royal red sheets and looked like something out of a movie.

"Wow, I've never seen a room this big," said Simon as his eyes wandered around the room trying to take it all in.

"I guess dating the Crown Prince has its advantages," says Wilhelm smirking as he leads Simon over to the bed.

Wilhelm precedes to grab the back of Simon's head and places a tender kiss on his lips before pushing him onto the bed unexpectedly. Simon lets out a large chuckle as his cheeks turn bright pink.

Wilhelm moves closer and straddles Simon's hips as he pins both his hands behind his head.

"Are we really going to do this?" Simon asks as a smile begins to form.

"Don't worry, no one will find us," responds Wilhelm mere inches from Simon's face.
