{One Year Later}

Dear Mr. Westergaard,

I am writing to you to tell you that I have finally come to terms with what you did.

I once trusted you.

I'm not sure what kind of a father would make a fool of himself, exploiting his own flesh and blood. But Mummy said that's always how you were. Ready to give up everything for the things that don't matter. Faking your way through everything. I guess people really don't change. I wanted to believe that after 21 years you really cared. But I should have seen the red flags when my then boyfriend first expressed his doubts. I should have realized that even after I came to Auradon, you made no move to try and get to know me. I was a national hero four times and you didn't have the guts to claim or contact me.

If you really had wanted to get to know me and regretted all you did to Mummy and I, you would have already made a move to reconcile. I had been blind to your deception.

I want you to know that I am disappointed that all of this had to happen. I was in a vulnerable place and you took advantage of that. The plans you made to reconnect with Mummy and I were simply a lie. I do hope you one day realize what you've done. I was willing to rekindle a relationship we never got to have. Now I no longer feel the need to fill the void of my heart that I thought belonged to you. I now understand that I don't need you. I should've listened to everyone around me who was telling me otherwise.

Despite not being fond of you, I have to thank you for three things:

Thank you for showing me that I can't trust everybody who comes into my life when I am at my weakest.

Thank you for steering me away from the Southern Isles, you and my paternal relatives.

Lastly, thank you for allowing me to come into existence. Without you I wouldn't be here and wouldn't be able to experience the joy of actually being loved by my friends if you hadn't once loved my mother.

I would also like to tell you that I have dissolved my relation to you with the changing of my name. As of long while ago, I am legally known as Evie Rose Queen, no longer Genevieve Hana Rose Westergaard. Despite my name change, I was still able to reclaim a royal title, by which I am known as Princess Evie Rose Queen of Charmington. I declined my birth title, instead choosing the one offered to me by someone who is not blood-related, but acts the part of being my bonafide sister.

As you know, I declined the throne after coming to my senses.

With all due respect, I wish you well. Find yourself forgiven for exploiting me and leaving my mother, but my forgiveness does not excuse you for your actions. It simply says that I forgive you for your actions, but my preference to not associate with you any longer still stands true.

Out of pure courtesy, I would like to disclose that I am engaged and will be married in the course of a year. If I ever have the privilege of reproducing, your grandchildren will surely know of the offenses their blood related grandfather committed against their mother.

Sincerely,

Your estranged daughter,

Evie Rose Queen

Thank you for reading She Wears The Crown. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Thank you for all of the reads, follows, favorites and reviews. Lastly, I got the idea of Hans being Evie's dad from disneyfan1968.
