Three: What if James never apologized for making Amber fail
Episode: A royal wedding.
James took a small bite of his piece of wedding cake as Amber came forward, her hair halfway undone from the fiasco he caused.
She would've complained about that a year or two ago, he thought bitterly as his twin took the seat across from him.
"You're usually on your third or fourth piece by now. Is everything okay?" Amber asked softly, gently putting her hand on his.
"No. Everything is not okay," James scoffed. "And you're not Sof so don't even bother to help me."
"James, the wedding got saved. Aunt Tilly's happy, the happiest she's ever been! What's the matter?"
"You're what's the matter! Alright?!"
Amber was taken aback, trying to process what was going on.
"I-I don't understand," She stuttered in shock. "If it's about the first born rule, I'm sorry but I did not make that up!"
"I worked hard to be heir!" James croaked, feeling tears in his eyes. "Since birth, I was told that I was gonna be king. I admit I hated some of that and all the memorizing was a pain but that was my destiny and that first born rule took that away from me! You mastered what I had to practice for weeks in only a few hours!"
"So what you're saying is, you don't want me to be queen?"
"Yes. I wanted you to fail today. Am I apologizing for it? No. You'd rather care for yourself than our people."
"That was the old me," Amber frowned, taking her hand off his. "I've changed thanks to Sofia for Enchancia's sakes and guess what?! She's just fine with me being the future queen! If you can't see that then... Then I'll disown you when I do become queen. I might change my mind but I want you to change yours first dear brother. We're supposed to support each other and clearly you're not doing that."
"Just go," James muttered, looking at his piece of wedding cake. "I'll think about your words. In private. Now go. Impress everyone with your queenly attitude."
Amber glanced at him before leaving the table, shaking her head sadly.
