THE NEXT MORNING
William: what time did you get back last night?
I: almost at dawn, it was a very long journey because the plane was delayed and had two stopovers
William: It's strange, how did the maneuvers go yesterday?
I: they went well, i still have to improve on some things but all in all it went well, then yesterday, surprisingly, dad also came to see how it was going
William: did you expect to see him ?
I: honestly no, i thought he was busy yesterday since it said so on the diary
William: well you know him, he always finds a way to surprise you even when you least expect it
I: yeah i know
William: oh leo, i almost forgot what i wanted to tell you
I: what is it?
William: this news has yet to be released by the palace
I: okay now you're scaring me, tell me what it is
William: right sorry, in a few days my cousin zara will get married, she has already told granny and grandpa and the adults of the family, but today she wanted to celebrate with her cousins and asked me if you would like to come
I: i'm very happy for her, but are you sure i can come? i mean maybe she just wants to be with her cousins
William: of course you can come, plus consider it an opportunity to meet the rest of my cousins, don't worry my cousins' boyfriends and girlfriends will also come and obviously consider it an opportunity to celebrate and have fun
I: okay i'm in, just to be unprepared, could you remind me of your cousins' names?
William: yeah sure, then obviously there will be harry who you already know, then there will be zara's brother peter with his girlfriend autumn, beatrice with her boyfriend edoardo, eugenie with her boyfriend jack and then louise and her brother james won't be there
I: okay, will harry come alone?
William: no, he's back with chelsea
I: oh great
William: you'll see that everything will be fine, we have to go we're late
I: did she tell you where we should go?
William: yes, at frogmore cottage
LATER
AT THE COTTEGE
Zara: you have arrived, how nice to see you again leo
I: yes, zara for me too, congratulations on your upcoming wedding, i'm very happy for you
Zara: thank you
William: congratulations zara
Zara: but when did you arrive? i did not see you
William: how kind of you, i hope mike is kinder than you
Zara: and how touchy are you, come on, everyone is already here, all that was missing were you two
Harry: you have finally arrived
I: yes, we didn't realize the time
Chelsea: but how strange that miss perfect is so careless
I: sorry , do you have a problem?
Harry: my brother's carelessness is having an effect, isn't it leonor?
William: why don't you mind your own business for once instead of worrying about us?
I: guys please, we are here to celebrate the upcoming wedding of your cousin zara, i don't think it's the time to start arguing here
Peter: what's going on here?
Harry: nothing
Peter: we all know you two are having brotherly problems lately but keep them out of here, especially today if you don't want to do it for yourself do it for zara
I: thank you for preventing those two from tearing each other to pieces
Peter: welcome to the family, i'm peter anyway
I: i'm leonor, nice to meet you
Autumn: hey
Peter: autumn this is leonor william's girlfriend, and this is autumn my girlfriend
I: it's a pleasure to meet you
Autumn: for me too
I: just out of curiosity, am i the youngest in here?
Autumn: why? how old are you?
I: i'm 18, and you?
Autumn: really? i thought you were older
I: i don't know whether to take this as a compliment or not
Autumn: of course as a compliment, back to your question i'm 23 and peter is 25
Peter: come, let's introduce you to the others
I: i should really.....
Autumn: don't worry, william will be fine without you for 10 minutes, i bet he won't even notice, see how focused he is on eating those sandwiches
I: okay
Peter: hey, they are beatrice and eugenie with their boyfriends edo and jack
Beatrice: hi i'm beatrice, william finally lets us meet, where is he now?
I: i'm leonor, william is eating all the available sandwiches
Eugenie: typical of william
I: well if you say it, you who have known him since you were little, i believe you
Beatrice: i love your shoes
Autumn: i was thinking that too
I: thank you
Eugenie: how's it going between harry and william? harry told me things aren't going well
I: let's just say they would bite each other if they could, i wish i could do something to help them
Peter: no matter how hard we all try nothing has worked, but you can try so hard things can't get any worse than this
I: i can try but i will need your help, i don't know how to make peace between two brothers since i'm used to it with my sister
Autumn: you can count on us
I: thank you
Beatrice: where are you and william staying?
I: in adelaide cottage near kensington
Peter: we'll be in touch
Eugenie: we have an almost impossible mission to complete
I: yes, let's hope it's a feasible mission and we don't make things worse
