BUT SUMMER CAME AROUND, I GOT LAZY, AND SUFFERED FROM WRITERS BLOCK. LUCKILY FOR YOU, I RESUMED SCHOOL WEEKS AGO. SINCE I BARELY PAY ATTENTION AND CONSTANTLY DRIFT INTO LA LA LAND…IT WAS THE PERFECT TIME TO DRIFT INTO GENOVIA (WHICH STILL BAFFLES ME TIL TODAY THAT THE 'COUNTRY' IS FICTION. O_O WELL I GUESS THIS IS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYONE. ANYWAYS, SORRY IF THIS CHAPTER ISN'T AS LONG AS THE FIRST TWO, BUT THESE HAVE SOME HEAVY POINTS TO COVER…AND THE NEXT WILL HAVE EVEN MORE. NOW ENOUGH OF MY BABBLING…GO READ MY STORY. (STILL NOT SURE WHY I MADE THIS CAPS…)


CHAPTER 3: PRINCES AND PRINCESSES

There was a moment of silence when a burst of laughter was heard that had an edge of uneasiness. "Haha OKAY..." Kurt started, suppressing a giggle, an eyebrow raised in disbelief.

"I'll go along with this. So let's say that I am this 'Prince' " He articulated using hand gestures. "Does that mean that people will start groveling, waiting on my hand and foot?"

"Yes, exactly."

"Wardrobe? You know the saying fit for a king..."

"Of course we have nice clothing, I have a wonderful closet back in Genovia, I almost fainted at the sight of it."

"A crown?"

"Oh yes! The crowns look lovely."

"Do I get a palace, all of royalty gets palaces..."

"We currently have one of sort in San Francisco, my hometown, one in Genovia, and we have a winter castle in the mountains of Libbet which is currently being occupied by some orphans from Genovia."

"Orphans?"

"Yes, orphans, not all of Genovia is royal, prestigious, and wealthy. They have an unbelievable lower class because none can ever fit into the economy that the patriarchs have set up all too long ago. I am only a queen Kurt. Yes, royalty all the same, but up until my rule this society has been nothing but patriarchal in which I, a woman, cannot take the throne without marrying. And that is why YOU, Kurt Mignonette Elizabeth Hummel-Renaldi, must change that. I want to make change. Make Genovia a better place to live for EVERY citizen. But I can't do that alone. Especially as just one un-married Queen. I need your help."

"Wha-at?" his voice cracked. Suddenly realizing the truth and seriousness, almost punching him in the gut.

"Gotcha." Mia winked.

Kurt breathed, the revelation hitting him full force with concentration written all over his face.

"I think it is best if Kurt speaks of this alone with Mia...Blaine?" Clarice gestured.

"Sure..." the mentioned answered," Only if you tell me more about this royalty thing, Genovia is it? What is it like? Are the people there nice?"

"Yes Blaine, they are very lovely... they are quite the company as well..." Blaine followed her into the kitchen, the door slamming with a shut.


Mia sat, waiting for Kurt to break from his stupor. Patience is indeed a virtue. Who wouldn't be scared out of their minds at a revelation such as this? She can remember when her grandmother told her; definitely her reaction as well "Shut up". She could only imagine the inner turmoil within this boy next to her. She's heard much from Burt. He's not the most popular guy at school. Apart from being the flaming homosexual, she's been there. How can someone expect a family member that they haven't heard much of in years, suddenly tell them that they are to rule a country? Mia remembers that feeling. The feeling of uneasiness, that the whole world is weighted on your shoulders. But she also remembers the feeling pass. How the next moment she became determined, passionate...the exact moment taking one step onto the land of Genovia made her realize that she can do this. That it's her duty to govern over all the wonder that is Genovia. There's no doubt in her mind that Kurt will one day be able to feel that feeling. It'll swell up in his chest and guide him towards right. She can already see in this boy's glazs eyes that yes, he is ready...whether he himself knows it or not. After all, she's seen it since the very beginning. When he was nothing but a mere little 4 year old..his eyes bright and full of light and freedom. Which is why she's not scared at all. He's ready, she convinced herself. He's ready.


Blaine waited until the kitchen door was shut to fire his questions at Clarice as fast as you can say a dapper fellow with hair gel. Okay, maybe a little quicker than that.

"Tell me everything there is to know about Kurt and this royalty thing. How did this happen? Why now?"

Clarice paused for a moment. "Blaine, as much as I'd like to tell you everything, that is really of no use to you right now."

"It's not?"

"No. What Kurt needs right now, more than anything, more than someone who understands and knows everything about what he is going through, what he really needs is someone to be there for him, be his friend, love him."

Blaine looked up, her soft eyes boring into his hazel ones.

"You said something earlier..." Kurt finally said, breaking the silence. "About how you needed my help because Genovia was a...patriarchal society?"

"Oh it still is."

"How does it work like that? Why did it take until your rule to finally change things."

"Things are easier said then done Kurt. Change is not as easy as everyone leads you to believe. You have teachers at school telling you to come together, be the future and make it better or worse. But it's much more than that. It takes much more than just a group of people coming together to change the world. People are always going to oppose you, say that the things you are thinking are stupid. But the world is growing up. We're learning from our mistakes in the past. Even then, there will still be others who put you down. But we're learning too you know. Rulers and government leaders are trying to make the world a better place to live in, leading with justice and stability. When you are old enough to understand, participate in the political affairs of such that I did, you'll see it takes...more that to just want to do something to make it happen. It takes the effort, and the people who will be there for you, to side with you, and guide you...to really make change worthwhile." She smiled gently.


"Then why do you look at me like that?"

"You care for Kurt." She said simply, stating it without any further indignation.

"Of course I do. He's..." Blaine trailed off, his face turning red,"..probably the best thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life. I know it may sound cliche. Hearing it in movies and reading it in books really makes that whole phrase tired..and overused; but to actually feel and experience it for yourself. It's probably the best feeling in the world..." He smiled.

"Blaine, Blaine, Blaine...with the way you look at Kurt, I can see that really seems to be your entire world."

"He is."


"The patriarchal society." Mia backtracked. "There was a law, that said that no Genovian princess can take the throne, unless they are bound by marriage. That was before I stepped up as Queen. But, it was then I realized, maybe doing things alone wasn't what I've always imagined."

She stopped and Kurt can tell that that was the end of that. "So what are you saying? That you regret not marrying for the throne?"

"Of course I don't regret marrying for the throne. What I DO regret, however, is not marrying at all."

"Okay. Okay now, you're Queen. I doubt that you'd be that one person who'd have the least amount of game."

Mia smiled.

"I mean hey, at least you still have your youth..."

"Kurt...there is much I wish I told myself when I had the chance. There are moments when you can just sit back and say to yourself 'Wow! I really messed up big time' and you wish that you can just go back and tell your younger self different, get another chance. But you can't."


"I find it funny. Because usually a normal person would react shocked and surprised to learn that their boyfriend is a soon-to-be-ruler of a country, but I wouldn't exactly be telling the truth would I?"

"You're not surprised?" Clarice asked curiously.

"Of course I'm surprised.." Blaine said nonchalantly. "It's just...Kurt is the most compassionate person I have ever met, I always knew that his heart would...help him in the future. You know?"

"He may just be a prince now..."

"Princess..." Blaine smiled as if laughing internally at an inside joke. "I remember Kurt telling me one time of how he had a tiara collection and was little and saw himself as a damsel in distress.." He chuckled.

"He may just be a PRINCESS.." She said, putting emphasis on the Princess," but every Damsel in Distress must have his Prince Charming you know?"

Clarice stared intently at Blaine almost as if trying to convey something...

"No. Oh no no no...I know what you're thinking.." Blaine reprimanded catching on. "I'm not a Prince..."

"But surely that couldn't mean you'd refuse to being Kurt's Prince..."

The private school boy blushed, his face turning tomato red. Nice going Blainers. You've barely met Kurt's great grandmother in less than an hour and you're already blushing like an idiot at the mention. But then again, having a QUEEN imply that she approves of you to marry her great grandson tends to make one giddy and excited...


"But that's what I'm here for. To make sure you don't make the sane mistakes as I did. Besides, I hear that Blaine Anderson is quite the gentleman.." she said, nudging him.

"Aunt Mia..." Kurt groaned.

"What? I am just simply saying that if one day you decide to make things serious with Blaine, I approve. Plus, I have a feeling that Genovia will take to liking him VERY quickly."

Kurt knew this was the catch, but he blushed and smiled nonetheless. "Thanks Aunt Mia." he said as he pulled her into a hug.

She withdrawed from the hug and looked at Kurt gently. "Now, I know these revelations aren't the easiest to take lightly and quickly. So how about me and grandmother return home and you let this sink in for night."

"No it's fine. I can handle it."

"There's much more for you to know and I don't want to overwhelm you. Take it easy Kurt, there's no rush."

She stood up and hugged him one last time before Clarice retreated from the kitchen, Blaine trailing after her. Only then did Kurt remember what EXACTLY Mia meant about her approval which caused a blush to creep up his cheeks. Judging by Blaine's sheepishness and tender eyes, Kurt could tell he was thinking about something too. What did he talk about with Clarice in the kitchen? He made a mental note to ask Blaine later.

Just then, Burt and Carole walked through the door and started escorting Mia and Clarice out the door. They all said their temporary goodbyes until Mia stopped for a moment, giving Kurt a piece of paper."

"The address to our current residence here in Ohio. Come visit tomorrow. Both of you." she directed towards the boys. "And maybe we can finish our little..conversation..." Mia trailed softly speaking with a voice that only Kurt could hear; and she gave Blaine a quick glance that only Kurt interpreted as one that correlated to their previous conversation about Blaine. There goes that blush again..."

The Genovian maidens parted their ways and Blaine tried to follow to his car at his own accord. Burt stopped him before he could walk out the door. "I don't think you should um...drive back to Westerville this late at night..." and indeed, the moon was held high in the nights sky, pulsing with it's iridescent glow. "you can stay here for the time being..." Burt finished awkwardly. He was never really good at this boyfriend thing.

"Oh...well thanks Burt!" Blaine said happily as he ran upstairs dragging Kurt along with him. Literally.

"Just no funny business up there tonight. I want my sleep." Carole chuckled at her husband.

"Dad..." Kurt groaned appalled from upstairs before the bedroom door was slammed shut, any sound from the two being muffled.

"So much for no funny business.." Burt grumbled.


"Blaine?" Kurt asked shyly.

"Yes?"

"About what my aunt and great grandma said...about me being a prince now, I mean, having been?"

Blaine nodded.

"Everyone's expecting me to be this great and majestic ruler and how can i prove or even do that when i cant even stand up to a bully at school?" Kurt sighed.

Blaine took a moment to decipher what to do with this current situation. He paused "Kurt, you dont have to prove anything to anyone. That thing with Karofsky, maybe it was a test, you know? Maybe now you have a chance to speak out."

He let the silence drag on, to make sure that Kurt is truly letting what Blaine is telling him sink in.

"Do you know why everyone believes and puts their faith wholeheartedly, knowing you will be a great leader?"

Kurt shook his head. Blaine finally realized what he was getting at.

"They don't believe in you because of courage, they believe in you because this is what you were born to do. I see you Kurt. All the things you've done. The Diva off, standing up for yourself, all the work and effort you put to make sure your family works. You're going to be a great ruler because of what you will be contributing. The actions that follow...they all come from one place...your heart. If there's one thing i can shout to the world it's that Kurt Hummel's heart is in the right place and I'm glad that there's a spot open there for me, at least I think there is.

Blaine smiles as he put his hand on Kurt's in a comforting gesture.

Kurt can't help but smile at that. "There is always a place for you in my heart."

"Call me cliche but you know my words ring true. Your parents believe in you. Mia and Clarice believe in you. William, heck! I barely know the guy and I can tell he already believes in you."

Kurt cracked a smile at his boyfriend's goofiness. "All of Genovia believes in you. I believe in you. All that's left is you to believe and no doubt Genovia will welcome the best prince they've ever had." Kurt's eyes met Blaine's. Tender and soft. Blue and hazel.

Clashing softly through passion from the other. Kurt and Blaine would share many kisses in their lifetime. But this one, patient and heartfelt, was both vulnerable and romantic. Kurt's tongue slowly slipped in to Blaine's as he skyrocketed into oblivion.

They broke apart and as Kurt stared into Blaine's eyes filled with adoration and love, he feels it.

He can do this. He can.

As long as Blaine is alongside with him the whole ride there.

There to Genovia.

There to where Kurt will change peoples lives.

There to where he and Blaine were going to do things their way.

Together.
