Queen Clarisse stood admiring the portrait of her sons, particularly Philippe whom she longed to hear speak again or be witness to hear his deep and rich laugh which he inherited from his father.

"Oh Philippe, today's the day. Amelia is to be crowned queen" she whispered to the empty room

I always knew she would" The blonde woman spun on her heel to see her youngest son standing in his black trousers and navy shirt. There was a faint glow around but apart from that he looked real and alive "Mama don't worry I'm just here to see my Mia's coronation unseen and unheard" he smiled, the smile he knew and loved.

"Oh my son, you won't believe how much she has grown since I first met her in America" Clarisse smiled

"I am her father I have always had faith in her. Does she ask about me?" he pondered

"Oh most defiantly. I often find her discussing you with Charlotte or Joseph sometimes even with your brother" Philippe shook his head. Amelia is just what Genovia needs, a positive person to rule over her.

"Mother I sense something different about you. Maybe it's something to do with the gold band on your finger"

"Oh yes well I…I got married t...t...to Joseph. Please don't be upset or angry I love him very much I don't what I'd do without him. I...I…I "He put up his hand to stop her babbling.

"Finally. Pierre and I knew you respected father but we always knew you Joseph were good friends and we wanted the best for you. I'm sure you'll get all the love and respect you deserve." Clarisse let out a big sigh "If parliament make a fuss I can go all poltergeist on them" this comment made Clarisse laugh

"Oh please do. That will shut them up" Clarisse beamed.

The Prince checked his watch and smiled at his mother, "Right, I have to go people to see parliament members to haunt. Let Mia know I love her and will always be there watching. Goodbye Mama" A tear came to her eye as her youngest son disappeared as quickly as he had appeared.

"There you are, my love. You are going to be late can't have that you have no excuses now" Joseph approached kissing her gently "What's wrong?" as he wiped a tear away.

"Nothing" she beamed looking back at the painting of her sons. Clarisse could have sworn as she smiled Philippe winked at her.
