That night was weird. I had to sleep in Wille's bed, which was 3 times bigger than mine. We fell asleep hugging eachother.

The next morning, Malin brought us breakfast in bed and said we should be down in an hour, as the queen wanted to talk to us. We ate, washed, dressed and went down fifteen minutes early.

The queen had a sheet in her hand and said:
-Good morning to you both. I read because it is not so easy to say. It could be a bad choice for the whole of Sweden. Simon, I noticed that you are a very important person to Wilhelm. I don't think yours is just a high school crush, but something more that might not end. Simon, I see Erik through you. As if you really were Erik. So the Duke and I have made a choice that I guess you are going to approve of. - she said, and there was a silence of about 10 seconds. Wille shook my hand.

-We have decided that you can accompany Wille as king. When you can, you will have the right to get married from me and the duke, but as soon as you are ready, you must adopt a child. You will get crowned as kings the same day of your marriage, but I will still have the old governess power. It means that I can still decide your things even if I am not queen anymore.

-Simon, do you accept?- she said.
I started to cry: - Yes, I will gladly accept.
-Wilhelm, do you accept?
- Yes, I accept. - and he started crying too.

The queen smiled at us and ordered the guards to take us back to Hillerska. We were both happy.

I spent the whole trip hugging Wille with tears still in my eyes. The guards first dropped me off at home, then Wille at Hillerska.

I flung open the door of the house:
- Mom!!
-Simon! How was it at the palace? Tell me everything!

We sat down and I said to her:

-The palace was fantastic. This morning they woke us up at 10 and took us to the hall for a speech by Kristina. Then they followed us.
-What was the speech about?
- Well here.. the queen said that in many years, Wille and I...
-Get to the point!
-She gave Wille and I permission to get married. In some years.
-Oh, Simon.. - my mother hugged me - ne - I'm so happy for you!
-Thank you mom.
