So here is the 2nd Chapter. This introduces Finn to the story. Now it might seem like a cliché that Quinn is seen as a potential bride but of the original New Directions, she and her family do act like the most upper class family. Different members of the New Directions will be added over time. Enjoy.

Chapter 2: The King.

Finn's POV.

The morning sun slipping through the curtains is what brings me to my senses. I look at the time and it is 9:00. A late start for some but for me, it is bog standard wake-up time. Well, another day of Kingly duties to have to fulfil today with.

Yes, I am King Finn of America. 3rd King in the Hudson line that has ruled the country for the last 60 years. My Granddad created the Monarchy after bitter civil war in the country. The thing was that the Government and Officials were corrupt and were robbing the people of their money and wealth. It led to revolt and civil war which lasted 10 years when King William Hudson took power and created a Monarchy with him naturally as King but a stable Government where there is still democracy in the land but also some roles that are appointed by the Monarch. He died after 33 years on the throne and my father King Christopher succeeded him. He married my Mother, Queen Carole and I was born in 1994 and was their only child. But in 2012, my father passed just before my 18th Birthday and so I succeeded him as King. But my position and dynasty is vulnerable.

The thing is that even after nearly 4 years on the throne, I am still unmarried and I am without an heir to take over if I die suddenly. My mother has since remarried Lord Burt Hummel, a former Congressman but I made a senior noble when he and my Mom married. He has one son Kurt who I am trying to get to get Congress to recognise as my heir if I die without a legitimate child. But right now, my successor is my evil aunt Sue who is trying her very best to kill me off because of the power of being Queen. She will be a danger to everyone in the country if she is made Queen.

One of my most trusted friends, Mike Chang is calling to inform me of the duties and tasks that I have coming up in the next week. I let him in to speak to me.

Mike: "Your Majesty. We are going to get you prepared for Saturday. We need to complete the festival tour of peace in the land. New York is one of the biggest cities and states around and we need your presence there to help it succeed."

Finn: "You are right Mike. It is the last major city to the east of the land and has many attractions that we can visit whilst we are there. I am looking forward to it. How are the finances doing by the way?"

Mike: "They are doing well. We had an increase in tax revenues after the crackdown on corporate crime in major businesses."

Finn: "They got what they deserved. They should never have tried to lay people off for their own benefits now they are in jail. Makes it much easier to do these jobs without the threat of people uprising against you. (Slight joke.)

Mike: "Thankfully I was the only one who heard that. Just so you know, Queen Carole says that Lady Fabray is coming over with Quinn later today to talk about a potential marriage with you. The nobles also want to hold a singing competition on Thursday night, your Grace."

Finn: "Okay. I will speak with the rest of the nobles later about it. Thank you Mike, you may leave."

The thing is that I am not sure about marrying Quinn Fabray. I mean she is pretty and does come from one of the wealthiest families in the land but I have only met her twice. I know that my Mom is desperate for me to marry and reproduce children but I want to know who the person that I marry is the one that I want to be with for the rest of my life. I don't want to be trapped in a loveless marriage for the entirety of my life, after all I am still only 21, 22 this August but I know that I need to marry the right girl to reproduce children for the sake of the country.

I head downstairs to meet my mother. She is sitting in our private breakfast room with Burt and Kurt sitting on the table. She comes up to me to greet me in the morning like she always does.

Carole: "Morning Finn. (Gives him a kiss.) Excited to meet Lady Fabray and Quinn today?"

Finn: "I guess."

Carole: "Finn Hudson! That is not how you respond to the announcement of your potential future wife is coming to visit. Thank God that they weren't here for you to respond like that!"

Finn: "Mom, okay I am sorry. It is just I don't want to be forced into a loveless marriage at such a young age. The fact is that I barely know her and I don't know if I am ready to make that big step yet with someone that I barley know and love. I mean it is what other people do in relationships isn't it?"

Kurt: "The thing is Finn, you aren't like anyone else, you are King of the country. The Congress is stubborn about accepting me as your heir if you die childless because Aunt Sue has massive influence and control over a majority of them. I mean she would be a disaster for the country because she is evil beyond imagination. You need to find someone to marry to have an heir."

Finn: "I know. (Turns to Carole.) When are they arriving?"

Carole: "In an hour."

After breakfast, I head upstairs to get freshened up to meet the Fabray's with the help of Kurt. He really enjoys fashion and has the best idea of how to make me stand out and look handsome. There are times when I wished I could let my mother rule the country instead but I know that she was married into the royal family and wasn't by blood so couldn't rule in her own right. So I know that I have to be able to find a wife soon in order to secure the country's future. That is a lot of pressure on my shoulders but I have to be strong enough to carry that burden of respondability for the good of the realm. The country can't have Sue as Queen.

My best friend Noah Puckerman informs me that the Fabray's are here. He makes a leud comment about Quinn but that is typical Puck after all. He has always been like that.

I head down to greet Lady Fabray and Quinn.

Judy: "Greetings your Majesty."

Quinn: "My King."

Finn: "Arise. Let us go into the common room to discuss and talk about each other."

We do just that and we get closer to knowing each other and about each other. Quinn stands to inherit serious land from her father and has serious money and wealth as well. She is the same age as me, just a couple of months older and I can tell is ambitious. I can understand why Mom believes that she will make a good Queen. They say that they will be at the festival in New York at the weekend but there would be no discussion about this to the press.

After a few hours, they leave and I head out to play football with some of my friends and lords. After that, I plan for the week ahead with my mentor, Professor Schuester about how best to handle the festival. After that, I go to bed. It is a tough life but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love being King.

Reviews are welcome as usual. Next time, the Festival in New York begins.
