Sisters Tangled Adventure

Epilogue

The two co-queens, the king, and Princess Kiera and Catalina look bored out of their minds. They have to listen to the citizens of Corona today...

And who else but Shorty is speaking. Except this time, he doesn't have a pig, he has Milton.

"And so I say, why have bells if Milton hates 'em? Here I have a petition to remove all the little chimes, bells, and whistles."

"Okay, Shorty, but we need bells," Eugene tells him. "I mean, shops can't open without 'em."

"How would people know when the shops are open without bells, Shorty?" Rapunzel smiles a bit. Kiera pinches her nose as Milton chews on the paper.

"How do you think they're doing?" The king leans towards Co-Queen Harmony, looking at Kiera and Catalina. "Honestly."

"I get that my sister wants to show them what to do whenever they become co-queens, but don't you think they're still too young?"

"You were too young, and here we are."

She rolls her eyes in amusement. It is true: Harmony is the youngest queen to ever be deemed as such in Corona, but traditions can change over time. Rapunzel insisted that she couldn't rule without her sister, and thought it was unfair that only one of them could be queen. So they filed a new rule that Corona can have co-queens, to show partnership and peace within the family. People loved both equally: Rapunzel was compassionate, protective...and a great party planner. Harmony was a little bit more fair, and mostly oversaw the ships coming in...

Along with the approval of inventions from the Royal Alchemist himself.

"Can we please just get this over with, Mom?" Kiera pleads with Harmony about Shorty, who's still speaking on Milton's behalf. The woman sighs a bit. She's a bit skeptical to let the girls see citizens today, as it requires a lot of patience...which was really more Kiera's problem than Catalina's. Not to mention that being princesses was still something they were getting used to, but they still loved their adoptive mother and their new lives.

"Shorty," Harmony speaks up, getting his attention. "How about we tackle this another day? We do have other people in line."

"Of course, milady," He bows, winking. The two girls giggle as the co-queen looks on in annoyance. The little pub thug takes his leave.

"Now we have to hear him again?" Eugene complains at the woman, gesturing to where Shorty was.

"Here's the thing to remember about Shorty: He moves on to another ridiculous motion every single time he leaves," She holds up a finger. "So we may be safe for today, but...I'd still be prepared for his next visit."

"I'm so glad to have you help us out," Rapunzel tells her, clasping her hands with a happy smile. "You know how everyone works way better than I do. It feels like back when we did audience with Dad before he left during their anniversary."

"But didn't the storm happen afterwards and then Mom ran away and almost died?" Kiera points out, causing everyone else in the room to cringe awkwardly. That was definitely something she'd rather forget...for the most part.

"I spent years watching Papa work and memorizing how everyone tends to speak to us," Harmony gestures to herself. "But you'll get the hang of it, eventually."

"Which is going to be...never."

Harmony giggles and then Nigel leans in towards the royal family. "Queen Harmony, you have a guest."

"Hm?" She raises a brow. They look to their left as Varian walks into the room. His hair has gotten longer to the point of being kept in a ponytail, and he's grown some facial hair. He still wears the goggles on his head as Ruddiger is on his shoulder.
