"Nathaniel, Marie is ready." Fabian said

Katherine exited the dressing room, a scowl appearing on her face as she caught sight of Nathaniel.

"Marie, you can't be looking like that." Nathaniel said, walking closer to her

"You forced me to come with you even if I was the previous queen." Katherine said, crossing her arms

"Let's show off to the world, that Queen Katherine is still alive." Nathaniel said, grabbing her hand

"Is that why I'm coming, so you can present me as 'alive'?" Katherine asked, yanking her hand out of his hold

"You really think of me as a horrible person, don't you?" Nathaniel said

"Yes. Now, are we leaving?"Katherine asked

"We're leaving, but please don't talk like that." Nathaniel said

"Nathaniel, don't forget about the 'thing'" Fabian said

"What 'thing'?" Katherine asked, looking between them

"Be quiet." Katherine said, hitting his shoulder

"I'm saying the truth. Now, can I place the tiara on your head. I promise to be careful." Nathaniel said, Katherine nodded

Nathaniel carefully placed the tiara on Katherine's head, making sure it was at the proper angle and that it was secure. Nathaniel stepped back and kneel in front of Katherine and Fabian did the same.

"Please stand. I'm not Queen anymore. I'm just a date for Nathaniel. Nothing more, nothing less." Katherine said,

"You are right about changing when wearing a tiara, but it's still the same as before."Nathaniel said, reaching his hand out to her

"Thank you for saying that. Now,that I have my tiara, should we go now?" Katherine asked, placing her hand in Nathaniel's

"Yes. Since your outfit is complete, we should get going. Thank you, Fabian for dealing with Katherine's outfit and herself." Nathaniel said, Katherine elbow his side

"Don't call me 'Katherine' in public and also thank you, Fabian for everything." Katherine said

"Your welcome and you gave me my ultimate wish for creating a dress for you." Fabian said, bowing
