A Few weeks later...

Crown Prince Adrien and Crown Princess Marinette, were always busy with their Royal duties, but they always tried to make time for each other. But it was easier said than done...

As Crown Prince of England, Adrien had his duties to fulfill in London, and now with his younger twin on his Honeymoon, he was constantly under pressure.

The air in the chamber was thick with tension as King Gabriel sat at the ornate table, his brow furrowed. Queen Emilie stood by the window, her gaze fixed on the bustling streets of London. Head of House Nathalie, ever composed, hovered near the door, awaiting Prince Adrien's arrival.

The door swung open, and Adrien entered, his shoulders tense. "Your Majesties," he greeted, bowing respectfully. "How may I serve the crown today?"

King Gabriel leaned forward, his voice stern. "Adrien, your brother's absence places additional burdens upon you. The affairs of the kingdom cannot wait."

Adrien nodded, his mind racing. Felix and Kagami were off on their honeymoon, blissfully unaware of the duties brewing back home. When duty calls, he had no choice but to answer.

Just then, the door opened again, revealing a sun-kissed Felix and a radiant Kagami. They stepped into the room, their smiles fading as they sensed the gravity of the situation.

"Welcome back," Adrien said, embracing his brother. "How was Hawaii?"

Felix grinned. "Magical. But it seems we've returned to a different kind of magic here."

Kagami's eyes narrowed. "What's going on?"

King Gabriel rose from his seat, addressing them all. "Felix, Kagami, we've deliberated long and hard. The strain on Adrien is immense. Therefore, we've decided to name you, Felix, as the Crown Prince of England."

Felix's jaw dropped. "But Father—"

Kagami stepped forward. "We're honored, truly. But we're not sure we're cut out for this."

Queen Emilie stepped closer, her gaze soft. "Felix, Kagami, listen carefully. Adrien is going to marry Crown Princess Marinette of France soon enough I hope." She said  throwing a teasing glance at Adrien and continued, "When that happens, he will become the King of France. Our alliance will be stronger than ever."

Adrien choked on his own breath. "Marinette and I—"

Queen Emilie raised an eyebrow, amused. "Yes, Adrien?"

He stumbled over his words. "We...we've been getting to know each other. She's remarkable."

Felix exchanged a knowing look with Kagami. "So, you're saying we get to rule England while my dear brother and my cousin-sister-in-law will have a fairy tale romance in France?" He said with a big smirk making its way on his lips as Kagami chuckled at Adrien's flustered face.

 "Hey! It's not—"

Kagami interrupted Adrien. "We accept the throne, Your Majesties." But then with a slight teasing in her voice continued, "But only if Adrien promises to invite us to the French royal wedding."

Adrien's heart raced, his surroundings getting pretty warm. He responded "Deal." With a shy smile creeping onto his lips.
