Clarisse and Charlotte embraced for several minutes. None of them managed to contain the tears.

"Your Majesty ... I'm so happy! I have to call the Prince Pierre and Princess Amelia will. They are ... But I'm so happy you are alive! My God, I prayed so much…"

"Dear Charlotte, and I'm so relieved to know you're all right. Which are all well! I've talked with Pierre and I know what goes on with Amelia. I need you to give me Helena's phone number to speak with my granddaughter! Oh Charlotte! "And hugged her again.

"Now it's my turn!" Joseph said smiling. "I also survived!" And embraced Charlotte!

"I knew you'd take care of Her Majesty! You are an amazing man, Joseph!"

"Watch out! I can believe it!"

"But ... And James? And Princess Ruth?" Joseph looked at Clarisse.

"James left the island the day after the accident and Ruth died. She was bitten by a poison animal ... We do not know well. But let me introduce you to new and good friends, Charlotte." Clarisse said. "Commander Michael and Silvia. They will be daddies!"

"Nice to meet you Charlotte. Clarisse and Joseph spoke so much of you that seem we are old friends!"

"It is also a pleasure, Commander! And congratulations to both."

"The Sub-Commander Paul."

"Nice to meet you, Charlotte"

"Nice to meet you too, Sir."

"And our new friends, Agnes and Harry ..."

"But..."

"The difficulty make us change, Charlotte!" Agnes said. Harry lowered his eyes but smiled.

"Now that we all know each other, we will start preparing our return ..."

"Your Majesty, the Viscount Mabrey has surrounded the palace ... As the Prince Pierre did not allow him to move into the palace ..."

"Mabrey wanted to live in the palace?" Clarisse asked indignantly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. He intended to move there until Princess Amelia is old enough to take the throne. Then he made the Prince Pierre be exiled but Parliament did not authorize the palace was detached from the property's of Your Majesty. When Mabrey declare the Queen's death, proclaimed himself King. From that day, Genovia entered into chaos. The only thing that increases are the bank accounts of Mabrey and their properties. England, Germany, France, Portugal and Spain, have canceled the agreements economic they had with us. Mabrey refused to receive the Prime Minister of Turkey, so our pears export agreement was void…" Clarisse dropped her jaw ... Joseph was furious, but it was Harry who spoke first.

"What's that clown is doing to our country? I will kill him with my own hands."

"Sorry Harry, but I'm first!" Agnes and Silvia smiled and Clarisse put her head on Joseph shoulder.

Now it was Charlotte turn to drop the jaw ... Finally they took the feelings they have for each other, she thought. Clarisse noticed the happy expression of Charlotte and smiled.

"Your Majesty ..."

"Charlotte, call me Clarisse. Please."

"Thank you, Your ... Clarisse! I'll call immediately to Helena."

"Yes please. I want so much to talk to Amelia. But use the hotel telephone, please. We do not know if your telephone is bugged."

Charlotte scored the number and who answered was Amelia.

"Hello, Charlotte. Has my grandmother appeared?"

"Princess Mia ..." Said Charlotte and looked at Clarisse.

"Charlotte, I'm sure that my grandmother is alive! She is the most formidable woman I know. And besides, Joseph's with her. He would not let anything bad happen to his Queen!" The eyes of Clarisse and Joseph were filled with tears.

"Princess Mia ..." Tried again Charlotte.

"I am sure..."

"Princess Mia, let me speak!" Cried Charlotte. "I have someone here to talk to you!" she passed the phone to Clarisse.

"Amelia?"

"Grandma?" Mia murmured.

"Yes, Mia. It's me!" And Clarisse began to cry. Joseph held her. He also could not hold back the tears.

"Grandma ... Grandma! Grandma!" Mia cried. "I knew it! I was sure! Helena, George!" Called Mia.

"Grandma, I'm so happy! I was sure that you're alive!"

"Mia! My dear Mia. I'm so glad to hear you, my dear. Joseph is here too."

"Hello, Mia!"

"Joey !"

"Today may be Joey, Princess. But only today! I'm so glad to hear you!"

"I knew you'd keep grandmother saved, Joe! Helena, George. Grandmother is alive! Grandma, I'll put the phone out loud so we all can talk."

"All right, honey. Can you do the same, Charlotte?"

"I think so, Your ... Clarisse. Ready... We may talk now."

"Helena, George, I do not know how to thank you for keeping Amelia safe!"

"Clarisse! Joseph! We do not know what to say! I just want to cry of happiness!" Helena said.

For nearly half an hour, they talked about everything that happened in the last two months. They agreed that Amelia would stay in the USA until Clarisse regain the throne. Charlotte told them that after the accident, Mabrey ordered his personal guards, if any of them return to Genovia, should be immediately arrested and held unreachable until otherwise orders. When he was proclaimed King, these orders also went to the Royal Guard. And it was Shades who reported these orders to Charlotte.

"That bastard ..." said Joseph. Then someone knocked at the door. Silence settled in the room. Miguel was at the door and asked, without opening it.

"Who is it?"

"Room service, with the manager's compliments." Joseph put a finger to his lips to they all make silence. Then he hid everyone in the bathroom, except he, Charlotte and Miguel. And then he opened the door. The employee filed the cart with champagne and looked at all sides. He fixed his eyes on Charlotte and Joseph and then tried to leave in hurry but Joseph stood in front of him.

"Looking for someone?"

"No, Sir ..." and he tried to punch Joseph but this turned away. Miguel grabbed him by the arms and Joseph punched him so hard that left him unconscious.

"Two months on a deserted island but your punch is still deadly, brother!" Joseph smiled.

"We may have been discovered. We have to get out of here now. And we have to deal with this guy. He can not say that he saw us."

"I'll take care of it. Now let's get out of here, now. Paul, help me tie this guy and put it in the bathtub." Asked Miguel.

Clarisse was shaking. Harry and the others were to the rooms and take everything that could denounce them and ten minutes later they were again in Clarisse room. Miguel called a taxi and made the check out to the rooms. Forty minutes later, they all are at the south gate of the Palace of Zarzuela.

"The Queen Sofia is waiting for us, but we have to walk in the door of the servants, we can not risk anyone know you."

"Thank you, Miguel. Maria, Laura and Isabel are also here?" Clarisse asked. Joseph squeeze her hand.

"Of course, Clarisse. Since they knew you were alive they didn't stop to ask me to see you."

"That's my girls!" Joseph said with a smile.

The meeting between Joseph, his mother, sisters and Sofia was melting. Clarisse and the rest of the group remained slightly distant, until Mary was embracing her. And in a flash, everyone hugged each other as if they belonged to the same family. Joseph approached Clarisse and murmured:

"I want to hold you ..." Clarisse looked at him, put her arms around his waist and laid her head on his chest. Joseph closed his eyes, took a deep breath and hugged her. This is heaven! Miguel received a call and walked away. Sofia looked at Joseph and smiled.

Let's sit down and think of a strategy, gentlemen? "Asked Sofia.

"Of course. We have to act quickly. There is a strong possibility of we having been discovered. Sofia, I want to ask you if you send a jet to San Francisco and bring Mia and our two friends here? Right now nothing is safe." Joseph sat beside Clarisse and grabbed her hand.

Of course, Joseph. I'll do it immediately. "

"I can talk to your secretary, Your Majesty. I'll call Helena and combine the trip."

"Thank you Charlotte. You're very helpful. Martha?" Called Sofia.

"Yes, Your Majesty?"

"Help Charlotte in everything that she needs, please."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Joseph, do you think Prince Pierre is safe?" Asked Harry.

"He's in the Vatican. I do not think Mabrey will risk an incident with the Catholic Church! But I think Charlotte should return today to Genovia, to not arouse suspicion." Joseph looked at Clarisse and kissed her forehead. Miguel approached.

"Brother, our 'friend' of the hotel, is already arrested and unreachable."

"Great. Thank you, Miguel. Will you escort Charlotte back to Genovia? I do not want to arouse suspicion ..."

"Of course!"

Once have arranged to bring Amelia, Helen and George to Spain, Charlotte took her leave and returned to Genovia. The rest of the group was preparing the return to Genovia and four hours later, they all sleep leisurely for the first time in two months.

A week later…

"Your Majesty, will have to apologize but we can not cancel the maternity leave. It is a right of all women ..." said Lord Jordan.

"Nonsense! The money that the state loses is absurd. If they want to have children, that will not to be at the expense of the crown!" Shouted Mabrey. "I am the King! I know what's best for Genovia! And the function of Parliament is to support my decisions! Did I made myself clear?"

Lord Palimore rose to speak but the door of the galleries of Parliament opened and entered some men dressed in black and dark glasses. In front of them was Joseph. Mabrey opposed hand on his chest and took two steps back. All members of Parliament were looking at Joseph.

"Good morning, gentlemen I brought some friends to attend this session of Parliament. Let me introduce you: Paul Dubois, Michael Nurmy, Silvia Chester, Agnes Von Troken, Harry Von Troken, Sofia of Bourbon, Helena and George Watson , Princess Amelia and Queen Clarisse!" And when they heard the name of Clarisse, they all stood up and bowed and there was a "Your Majesty" of all members of Parliament, except Mabrey!

Mabrey took a few seconds to compose herself.

"What a pleasant surprise, Clarisse. We are here concerned, fearing the worst and after all, it seems that you decided to take an holidays! Good thing the true noble know when to take the reins of a nation! As you may know, I am the King! And now that you have done your little show, please leave. The sessions of Parliament are no longer public! "

"It's time for you to pay for your crimes, Mabrey!" Joseph said. Mabrey approached the desk and pressed the alarm button, and seconds later, Parliament was invaded by the Royal Guard.
