For days, quite a few days away from the coronation, Theo has been convincing the royal council members to look for Jeremy and bring him to his coronation day.

"You gotta be confident," his sister said holding his shoulder. "Don't worry about anything right now. You're trying your best to the best out of it so don't waste it."

"I know... but it's," he grunted. "It's just hard to compel them since they believe that it would be a wrong thing to do, especially when the coronation is just around the corner."

"Would you really follow what they had to say?"

"If you were the king and you have a lot of things at stake, you will have to consider what they are trying to say.'

She both raised her hands. "Alright, I wouldn't argue with that. So, when will you know their decision?"

"Later this afternoon," Theo said. "These past few days, I've been trying to convince them, even Mom who is trying to put them on my side, but they stood to what they believe."

"You know, Mom is always trying her best for her children."

"Yeah... if you're not my sister, will you still accept me as your king?"

"I would! Totally!" she answers exaggeratedly. "That's the thing I've been wondering. Why would they hate? You're the kindest, sweetest, and most loving person I know. They just don't know you that's why they're being so rude... but I love a gay brother and what more for a queer king, right?!"

"Queer King?"

"That would the best title for you," Victoria said. "I would suggest that to the royal council. They might love it."

"Or they will hate it," Theo said. "You know, they seemed to be ones who come to follow the tradition and hate changed."

"Then show them what you can do," Victoria said. "And who you really are! Don't be afraid. You're the one who said it, you weren't ashamed and that's how you will knock them off."

"I wish it was that easy."

"Is that the only thing that stops you? The tradition?"

"I don't know... maybe it was one of many things."

"Then be the first one to break the tradition."

"That's not an easy thing to do, Vicky."

"Why not?"

"One of the traditions was putting an heir on the throne. That means I have to get wedded to a woman and our child will be the future king or queen to succeed in my crown. That's the tradition, so yeah... it's not easy. An adopted child cannot be a legitimate heir to the throne. The person next to me if I don't have any children will take the spot and that would be..."
