(This will be my last chapter of this story; the speech by William is from the audible original The Secret Diaries of Detective Murdoch, chapter 10: The Republic of Murdochonia)

It was a year later, as William's uncle Tom's health was failing, but he wanted to see his nephew become king of a wonderland kingdom.

Julia was doing very well in her schooling and was very close to becoming a doctor. She and William talked about having more children, after Mary's christening, and 9 months later she gave her to a healthy male, William Henry George Thomas, who was now 5 months old.

After giving birth to William Jr, Julia told William, "no more children, for a while!"

William agreed with a kiss to her forehead.

It was the day of William's coronation, and he was so nervous about his speech, but Julia gave him a kiss, "don't worry, you'll be great"

Before walking down, the aisle, he looked at his mother's portrait, "I hope your proud of your son, mama?"

"She is my son. And so am I." Tom said as George was pushing his wheelchair

William gave his uncle a hug, when he heard the organ playing and got ready as the doors opened and he walked down the aisle and made it to the throne and sat down.

The priest said many things in Latin and then prayed, then grabbed the crown and raised it, "I dub thee, William Henry Thomas the 1st, King of Murdochonia." And placed the crown on his head.

Everyone clapped, as William looked all around and saw everyone he loved and cared for, first Julia, who was holding onto William Jr, as she mouthed, "I love you."

Ruby and Mary, who were beside Julia, and George, his uncle Tom, who had tears in his eyes, his aunt and other family and friends.

An hour later, it was time to present himself to the kingdom for the first time as King William the 1st. As he got to the balcony, he already heard cheering from the people, and that made him calm knowing the people already loved him.

As he saw the people and looked down and began his speech, "as your king, my vision for the future of Murdochonia are as follows, rules, laws and edicts, will be set forth by thinking men, like myself. Under my leadership, a utopia of a kingdom could be built. Although it's not all Christian nation; all religions are accepted and equal, and same as for the churches. Racism will not be tolerated! Everyone is equal and anyone can vote including women. All women of their choice can work, got to school and will get equal pay. All in all, democracy should be our guiding light, and no vote is any less or higher than anyone else's. Murdochonia will continue growing through capitalism, but will also continue helping the less fortunate. No man, woman or child will go hungry or family will be without a home. But how will Murdochonia go above the nations? As, I was writing my speech, the other day, I came upon my late mother's journal and something she wrote before she had died. As many people knew she was an amazing princess, who loved science, and she always wanted me to remember this before she died, she told me, the future is unknowable, but indicators abound as to what it might become. Wireless communication portends the instantaneous dissemination of knowledge from all parts of the world. Knowledge will end prejudice; demagogues will no longer flourish. Lies and misinformation will disappear. The matters and crises that face us all will be dealt with intelligently and logically. All of humanity will be able to embrace their better selves. At the end of the 20th century and beyond, truth and knowledge will prevail."

After his speech, the whole kingdom clapped and cheered for him, "long live king William!" they continued cheering on as William walked back into the hallway as George helped him take off his royal robe, which was so heavy and made him sweat like crazy.

"I need a bath"

"Very good, sir" George said as he took the robe and began the bath.

When William got into the bath, he felt at peace and pleased with his speech and thrilled the kingdom loved him as their king.

As he closed his eyes, Julia walked in, "may I join you?" she said as she took off her robe

William smiled, "of course, my queen" he said and grabbed her hand and helped her in as she laid against his muscular chest.

"Your speech, was amazing William. It brought me to tears and made me happy to see that your views of a kingdom, are my views."

He grabbed her hair, and pulled it over her to shoulder and nibbled at her neck, "I am glad you liked it my queen" he said with a seductive husky voice and brought his right hand between her legs.

"Oh, William!" is all she could say with a moan.

2 days later, after William's coronation he began his work, as he woke up for his breakfast, but when he was about to rang for George, he was already in the room, in tears, "sir, my lady"

"George…did he?"

George nodded, "in his sleep"

"Oh, William" she cried and gave him a hug

It was a week later, when they had the funeral for his uncle Tom; by rules William and Julia weren't supposed to show emotion, but due to new laws, they allowed it.

"I haven't cried that much since my mother's passing" William said as he and Julia walked hand in hand through the garden

"Me as well."

"We had our problems, but he was more like a father to me, than my own father."

"He was so proud of you, William and so am I"

William chuckled, "funny thing is, before my 21st birthday, I didn't want to marry or be king"

"Why not?"

He sighed and rubbed his forehead, "I wanted to travel the world and help the less fortunate"

Julia smiled, "I did too. Well first I wanted to go to school, become a doctor and travel and help the poor."

William pulled her to him, "but now as king of huge nation, along with my queen, we'll be great!"

Julia kissed him, "yes with our children" she said and placed his hand on her belly and smiled

"Really?!" He looked at her

She smiled and nodded, "really!" and they kissed to their future.

The End
