"Alana, please. The whole kingdom will know we don't want him as king if we give him a trivia test. It has to be something... sneaky." The queen trailed off, pacing the floor.

"Well... maybe we could think of things we want the new prince to be like, and then we could possibly test Jared on them?"

"Huh."

"I know, it's stupid, but you were pacing and I was feeling pressure and-"

"No Alana. It's a great idea." Alana beamed. "Let's See... well, we'd want them to be kind, but that's hard to fully test since everyone lies about how kind they are..."

"Well, uh, what about maybe gracefulness? Like uh, pure? Or something like that?"

"What did you have in mind?"

"Well, this is just at the top of my head, but maybe we could stack a ton of mattresses on top of each other, and make Jared sleep on them, right? But at the very bottom, we put a tiny pea in between the mattresses. If he's a true prince or princess or whatever, then he should be able to feel it!"

The queen was silent for a moment before asking, "Alana, how long have you been thinking of this plan? Be truthful."

"A few months miss." Alana said bashfully.

"Well, it's brilliant! Dig a hole in that one back room so that he doesn't know what we are doing." The queen motioned to the guards standing around her, and they quickly put her plan into motion.

"Wait, I'm confused. I thought this was my room?" Jared asked, grabbing his stuff.

"Well, to be honest I thought so too, but the queen wants you to be in another room. Something about it being more comfortable?"

"I mean, I'm good with whatever." Jared allowed Jeremy to lead him to his new room. Jared put his stuff down, looking around. "Looks comfy."

"Yes sir. Goodnight sir! Sleep well."

Jeremy walked out, and Jared began to put things out as the door opened again.

"Hi." Jared spun around happily at the voice. He rushed over, putting his hands on Evans face as he pulled him close.

"Hi baby." Jared whispered against Evans lips, earning a small laugh. Jared pulled back, not surprised to see the small hint of worry of Evans face. "Evvie, I promise I'll win this contest. My love for you will get me through anything."

"Oh shut up, you big nerd." Evan playfully hit Jared, smirking up at him. "And... I know you'll win. I'm just... worried."

"That's okay, Love. But let's be real here. If they ask anything about you, I'll know it. If they ask me anything about your kingdom, I'll know it! You talk about everything in your letters, and not to brag or anything, but I have amazing memory when it comes to you."

Evan rolled his eyes, blushing a bright pink. "Oh, whatever."

"It's true, sweetheart." Jared placed a soft kiss on Evans forehead. "Now I should probably get sleep for the test tomorrow. I'll see you then, my love."

"Where is Jared?" Evan asked at breakfast, moving his eggs around his plate.

"Well dear, I suppose he's sleeping like a baby right now." Alana gave the queen a knowing look.

"Good morning." Evan perked up at Jared's morning voice, but rushed over to him when he saw how horrible he looked. He had dark bags under his eyes, and his hair was all over the place like he'd been tossing around the whole night.

"Are you okay?" Evan whispered, checking him over.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. I just like, literally didn't sleep at all in that bed. Who said that that room would be comfortable? Because honestly comfortable my a-"

"Wait," Heidi asked, stopping Jared. "You didn't sleep... at all?"

"No ma'am. Not even a wink."

"Fuck." The queen said, looking at Alana. The queen then rose, looking straight at Evan. "Evan Hansen? Met your new husband."

"Oh thank the fucking gods." Evan mumbled before pulling Jared into a forceful kiss.
